Poster summarizing some of the activities and achievements of the Seeds for Needs Initiative in Ethiopia in honour of community seed bank opening


Fadda, CarloBioversity International[Working with farmers in Ethiopia to tap the potential of Durum wheat genetic diversity to adapt to climate change]Working with farmers in Ethiopia to tap the potential of Durum wheat genetic diversity to adapt 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...

The valorization of genetic diversities of major crops like wheat may help substantially to feed the world Population. Durum heat genotypes consisting of 265 farmers’ varieties (FVs), which have been cultivated for many centuries in Ethiopia, as well as 24 improved varieties (IMVs) have been rece...


Mengistu, D.Kidane, Y.G.Fadda, CarloPe, M.E.[Genetic diversity in Ethiopian Durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum var durum ) inferred from phenotypic variations]Genetic diversity in Ethiopian Durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum var durum ) inferred from phenotypic variations

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is a key crop worldwide, and yet, its improvement and adaptation to emerging environmental threats is made difficult by the limited amount of allelic variation included in its elite pool. New allelic diversity may provide novel loci to international cro...

The working paper presents a new toolkit for the implementation of a participatory vulnerability assessment (PVA) in rural localities, by introducing the methodology, as well as the findings, from a pilot study in Sokoine (Zepisa, Hombolo Ward) in Tanzania. It is based on a participatory methodol...

Background paper for the conference "Food Security Futures: Research Priorities for the 21st Century" held in Dublin, Ireland, 11-12 April 2013

Rapid climatic and socio-economic changes challenge current agricultural R&D capacity. The necessary quantum leap in knowledge generation should build on the innovation capacity of farmers themselves. A novel citizen science methodology, triadic comparisons of technologies or tricot, was implemen...

Ethiopia is known for having a high diversity of durum wheat landraces. Most farmers in East Shewa’a have been replacing their landraces with modern varieties. These uniformly performing varieties require significant amount of external inputs and have less genetic variability and adaptive capacit...


Gevel, Jeske van deGellaw, AFadda, Carlo[Seeds for needs: perceptions on climate change]Seeds for needs: perceptions on climate change

Crop varieties play an important role in climate adaptation, allowing farmers to adjust the varieties they use to suit new climate conditions. Several barriers stand in the way of this approach. First, variety recommendations are often based on data from trials done at research stations, which do...
