Operationalizing inclusive innovation: Lessons from innovation platforms in livestock value chains in India and Mozambique
Various authors have identified the potential relevance of innovation system approaches for inclusive innovation, that is, the means by which new goods and services are developed for and by the poor. However, it is still ...
Genome-wide association mapping of frost tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Background: Frost tolerance is a key trait with economic and agronomic importance in barley because it is a major
component of winter hardiness, and therefore limits the geographical distribution of the crop and the ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
A protocol for the conceptualisation of an agro-ecosystem to guide data acquisition and analysis and expert knowledge integration
Innovative agricultural systems need to combine the production of goods with the provision of environmental
services. When agronomists analyse or design multifunctional agro-ecosystems, they thus need
to include knowledge ...
Integrated Assessment of Agricultural Systems – a Modular System for Agricultural and Environmental Modelling (SEAMLESS-IF)
Agricultural systems continuously evolve and are forced to change as a result of a range of global and local driving forces. Agricultural technologies and agricultural, environmental and rural development policies are ...
Exploring the challenges with soil data in regional land use analysis
Over recent decades, environmentalmodels have gradually replaced traditional, qualitative land evaluation in regional
land use analysis (RLUA). This changed the data requirements as the environmental models require ...
The Environmental Impact of not Having Paved Roads in Arid Regions: An Example from Mongolia
There is a generally held perception that roads have negative environmental impacts. Ironically, this paradigm stems from regions where fences and regulations restrict vehicles to paved roads. The situation is different ...
Unveiling soil degradation and desertification risk in the Mediterranean basin: a data mining analysis of the relationships between biophysical and socioeconomic factors in agro-forest landscapes
Soil degradation and desertification processes in the Mediterranean basin reflect the
interplay between environmental and socioeconomic drivers. An approach to evaluate
comparatively the multiple relationships between ...
Edifice growth and collapse of the Pliocene Mt. Kenya: Evidence of large scale debris avalanches on a high altitude glaciated volcano
The cyclic growth and destruction of the Late Cenozoic Stratovolcano Mt. Kenya have been reconstructed for its
southeastern segment. At least three major debris avalanche deposits have been reconstructed and dated. The
oldest ...
Spatial variation in the willingness to accept payment for conservation of a migratory wildlife corridor in the Athi-‐Kaputiei Plains, Kenya.
Payments
for
