Africa hosts approximately 33 million smallholder farms, which account for 80% of the continent's farming system. Subsistence farming systems face highly variable climatic conditions that threaten locally-adapted, low-input agriculture. For the near future, they are among the most seriously affec...

Which wheat for smallholder Ethiopian farmers? Joining traditional knowledge with metric phenotypes
Climate change is severely affecting production systems all over Africa. Ethiopia will face an increase in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns. One solution for long term management
of climate related risks is to introduce new traits into production systems. We present an approach to qui...

A crowdsourcing approach to detect farmers’ preferences: evidences from Ethiopia for adapting to climate change
Crop adaptation to climate change requires accelerated crop variety introduction accompanied by recommendations to help
farmers match the best variety with their field contexts. Existing approaches to generate these recommendations lack scalability and predictivity in marginal production environm...
