Jarvis, D.Ramírez, M.Gauchan, D.Turdieva, M.K.Bai, K.De Santis, P.Bergamini, N.Lopez Noriega, I.Nankya, R.Padulosi, S.Drucker, A.Raneri, Jessica E.Elias, M.Lewis, M.Staver, C.Rana, J.Gotor, E.[Climbing to Zero Hunger with crop biodiversity]Climbing to Zero Hunger with crop biodiversity

A study of the impact of the in-trust agreements demonstrated the importance of a clear legal environment for the genebanks. Requests for repatriation of rice germplasm from the International Rice Research Institute peaked in 1994, during the period of uncertainty. This coincided with a period of...


Gotor, E.Caracciolo, F.Bioversity International[An empirical assessment of the effects of the 1994 In Trust Agreements on IRRI germplasm acquisition and distribution]An empirical assessment of the effects of the 1994 In Trust Agreements on IRRI germplasm acquisition and distribution

This paper analyses the impact of a development programme designed at promoting the sustainable use of Andean Grain diversity. Results demonstrate that knowledge-sharing on agronomic practices, on benefits derived from consumption, and improving Andean Grain quality had a positive impact on incom...


Gotor, E.Bellon, A.Polar, V.Caracciolo, F.[Assessing the benefits of Andean crop diversity on farmers' livelihood: insights from a development programme in Bolivia and Peru]Assessing the benefits of Andean crop diversity on farmers' livelihood: insights from a development programme in Bolivia and Peru

The aim of this brief is to analyze the impact of a set of interventions related to conservation and use of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) on people’s livelihoods. Specifically a simultaneous three-equation model of households’ participation on undertulized crops conservation and incom...


Gotor, E.Cherfas, J.[Medicinal and aromatic plants improve livelihoods in Yemen]Medicinal and aromatic plants improve livelihoods in Yemen

Crop variety mixtures (different varieties of a crop grown together in a single plot) have been successfully deployed in pathogen and pest management for several crops including wheat, common bean and rice. Despite the available evidence, promotion of this approach has remained limited in many co...


Nankya, R.Mulumba, J.W.Caracciolo, F.Raimondo, M.Schiavello, F.Gotor, E.Kikulwe, E.Jarvis, Devra I.[Yield perceptions, determinants and adoption impact of on farm varietal mixtures for common bean and banana in Uganda]Yield perceptions, determinants and adoption impact of on farm varietal mixtures for common bean and banana in Uganda

In the last 20 years there has been a growing interest in on-farm conservation of crop diversity. Numerous projects to support on-farm conservation have been implemented worldwide. Projects are needed because maintaining crop diversity on-farm can entail important costs to farmers, who often face...


Bellon, M.Gotor, E.Caracciolo, F.Bioversity International[Methodologies for evaluating on-farm conservation projects]Methodologies for evaluating on-farm conservation projects

The challenge of on-farm conservation projects is to identify, design and implement interventions that make the conservation of crop diversity compatible with improved livelihoods and well-being among the farmers who conserve it. The success of any on-farm conservation project depends on a good d...


Bellon, M.Gotor, E.Caracciolo, F.Bioversity International[Guidelines and best practices for on-farm conservation projects: designing and evaluating interventions]Guidelines and best practices for on-farm conservation projects: designing and evaluating interventions

On-farm conservation projects, as well as most projects that use research to foster development, usually involve multiple partners who play different roles, bring diverse perspectives and influence the project in multiple ways. These partnerships should not be seen in isolation or as piecemeal, b...


Gotor, E.Bioversity International[Network analysis for evaluating on-farm conservation projects fact]Network analysis for evaluating on-farm conservation projects fact

This paper presents an approach for assessing the effectiveness of projects aimed at creating incentives for smallholder farmers to continue maintaining crop diversity under evolution on their farms in relevant centers of genetic diversity—a process known as on-farm conservation. It is applied to...


Bellon, M.R.Gotor, E.Caracciolo, F.[Assessing the effectiveness of projects supporting on-farm conservation of native crops: evidence from the high Andes of South America]Assessing the effectiveness of projects supporting on-farm conservation of native crops: evidence from the high Andes of South America

Innovations to improve staple crop germplasm can reduce poverty and otherwise improve farmer livelihoods through complex and multiple pathways. This paper reviews the evidence for one prominent pathway—through increased incomes (in cash and kind) for poor farmers who adopt the technology. An imp...
