Assessing the Potential for Zone-Specific Management of Cereals in Low-Rainfall South-Eastern Australia: Combining On-Farm Results and Simulation Analysis
In the low-rainfall region of south-eastern Australia, distinctive soil types reflecting
the typical landscape of higher elevated dunes and swale zones at the bottom
can be found within one field. Different soil characteristics ...
Bolstering NARS partners with systems modeling training
A new pilot project is enhancing children’s nutrition and
food security in India by bringing Smart Foods to
schools through the Akshaya Patra Foundation (APF)—the
world’s largest meal provider to the underprivileged,
serving ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
A Multi-Model Systems Approach for Identifying Low Emissions Development Pathways– Analyzing Synergies and Trade-offs in Semiarid Agriculture in India
Food security in the face of changing climate has pushed governments and development actors to focus efforts on improving adaptation, however, going forward besides adaptation, mitigation efforts to reduce GHG emissions ...
Technological perspectives for plant breeding
New Breeding Technologies? For some, both inside and outside
the scientific community, this phrase is synonymous
with gene editing—or used exclusively to describe the
application of CRISPR/Cas9 to plant improvement. Much
as, ...
Everfarm ® − Climate adapted perennial-based farming systems for dryland agriculture in Southern Australia
Australian dryland agriculture will be affected by climate change in a number of ways. First,
higher temperatures and changes to rainfall are likely to create greater variability of crop
yields and livestock productivity. ...
Value Chains and Diet Quality: A Review of Impact Pathways and Intervention Strategies
Low and middle-income countries increasingly face a triple burden of malnutrition encompassing undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and excessive energy consumption contributing to overweight and obesity. Food systems ...
Farm typology analysis and technology assessment: An application in an arid region of South Asia
The design and diffusion of context-specific technologies is centrally important in the multi-dimensional, complex farming systems in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper uses a mixed-method framework to characterize the ...
