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 ...
Establishing genome editing platforms for efficient traits and genetic-gain optimizations in sorghum
The utilization of de novo site-directed variations is an attractive alternative for expanding the genetic base of a crop species, particularly for high-value traits. The development of efficient and reliable ways to ...
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, ...
Boosting confidence in farm innovations: Simulating impact with systems modelling tools
“The outcomes of farm-level interventions in highly complex smallholder farming systems are uncertain. Many variables determine the profitability, scope of manpower reduction and eventually, the adoption of an intervention. ...
Ex-ante Poverty impacts of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
In 2017, ex ante evaluation of GLDC technologies was based on in terms of the present value of net economic benefits (NPV), internal rates of return (IRR), and benefit-cost ratios (BCR). This year, 2018, the evaluation is ...
Genetics, genomics and breeding of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Groundnut is an important food and oil crop in the semiarid tropics, contributing to
household food consumption and cash income. In Asia and Africa, yields are low
attributed to various production constraints. This review ...
