Modeling resilience with applied information economics (AIE)
We created a probabilistic decision analysis tool to model the issue of resilience in the Horn of Africa through a cooperative effort between the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa (TC) and ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Gaps in spatial data for social, ecological and economic systems
The development and trialling of composite indicators, the pilot spatial tool and
indicators for use in Monitoring and Evaluation has resulted in evidential gaps in
the data. This summary paper documents these initial gaps ...
Modeling livestock feed and fodder availablity in the ASALs of the IGAD region
In the arid parts of Africa there is a strong relationship between rainfall and plant production. This is especially prevalent in areas that receive less than 300mm rain per annum, where water is the principal limiting ...
The Economics of Land Degradation in Africa_Benefits of Action Outweigh the Costs_A complementary report to the ELD Initiative
Land degradation and desertification are among the biggest environmental challenges of our time. In the last 40 years, we lost nearly a third of the world’s arable farmland due to erosion, just as the number of people to ...
Breeding lines with improved performance under P and water limitation. Improved lines for combined stress of drought and low P identified
Simple, 3-way and double (4 parent) crosses are created among stress tolerant parents, and including parents for high grain iron. F2 populations are screened under drought stress and promising families are harvested in ...
Is there a relationship between data collection, data curation and data sharing? Experiences from a restoration project in East Africa and the Sahel - Abstract
Abstract of the presentation given on 27 May 2020 to the IGAD/RDA online meeting: Sharing Experiences and Creating Digital Dialogues
Main-effect QTLs (M-QTLs) for Aspergillus infection and Aflatoxin Contamination
Screening of the fungal infection was performed in the controlled conditions at Tifton in 2015. QTL analysis using phenotyping and genotyping data identified ten M-QTLs for the Aspergillus infection with PVE ranging from ...
CRP Dryland Systems - ILRI - 2015 Technical and Financial Report - Final
From 2012, the development of a cutting-edge econometric response model by the IBLI team at ILRI enabled expansion into new areas by identifying the relationship between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) ...
Development of a pilot composite index using data from the IGAD region
This
report details one methodology that the TC has piloted to try to respond to this
challenge. The TC has formulated composite indices from weighted resilience
indicators and this brief summarises process of development ...
