Cassava is an important crop in many parts of the tropics, but it plays a particularly vital role in sustaining
food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Diseases are the greatest biotic constraint to cassava production worldwide.
Although the diversity of cassava pathogens is greatest in Latin Americ...
Nuestra especie entró en grupos pequeños al continente americano a través de Beringia hace 20-15 000 años. Compartió con Siberia Oriental el chamanismo y con él la búsqueda de plantas y hongos alucinógenos y, como consecuencia, el conocimiento detallado de la flora y el continuo interés por exper...

Rice-fish farming: A food security alternative Rice-fish farming is a biological or clean production system that consists of the simultaneous farming of rice and fish on the same land and at the same time; in other words, in the plots flooded for rice cultivation. Rice is the main product and has...
La rizipiscicultura es un sistema de producción biológica o producción limpia, que consiste en la siembra simultánea de arroz y peces en un mismo terreno y al mismo tiempo, es decir, en los lotes que se inundan para el cultivo. El arroz es el producto principal y el de mayor importancia económica...

Global food security, contributions from sustainable potato agri-food systems.
Much of the effort to include communities in conservation of large
landscapes has been driven by interests outside the savannas, either by national
governments, NGOs, or foreign conservationists (Neumann 2002,
Brockington et al. 2008). Once included in conservation planning only as

Insect pest and disease outbreaks are driven by the environmental factors, presence of susceptible crop plants, and insect pest or pathogen population. Future climate variability and climate change (CC) are expected to modify the distribution and severity of pest damage and disease epidemics. In ...
