Protocol on evaluating the impact of GLDC-based farming systems on natural resources health
With locally adapted crop, tree and livestock solutions this flagship aims to contribute to restoring degraded lands and efficient use of scarce water resources for sustainable and productive agro-ecosystems. However, the ...
Revealing plant ideotypes amenable to increased planting density to boost the productivity in pearl millet through public-private partnership in Asia and Africa
The innovation is in trying to mimic in pearl millet, in a quicker manner, a similar increase in sowing density that has happened over a century in maize. The innovation would consist in screening and using donor parents ...
Households’ aspirations for rural development through agriculture
In sub-Saharan Africa, rural households are the focus of many development efforts and the transformation of smallholder
agriculture is one entry point for this process. Understanding farming households’ technology choices ...
Can Agricultural Citizen Science Improve Seed Systems
Using on-farm triadic comparisons of technologies (tricot) for crowdsourcing participatory variety selection is a new citizen–science methodology for agriculture that has been developed by Bioversity International to make ...
Stakeholder Involvement in Transdisciplinary Research: Lessons from Three Projects on Sustainable Land Management in a North-South Setting
Sustainability problems call for collaborative solution finding. Lessons learnt from the transdisciplinary designs of three projects in the Global South include the need for a prephase to build balanced ownership, ...
An Overview: What to breed for next (A study from the MPAB adoption team)
