As the sustainability of agricultural citizen science projects depends on volunteer farmers who contribute their time, energy and skills, understanding their motivation is important to attract and retain participants in citizen science projects. The objectives of this study were to assess 1) farm...

Este manual describe en detalle cómo usar iButtons para observación meteorológica. iButtons son sensores ambientales que toman datos de la temperatura y la humedad relativa. Son relativamente baratos y robustos y mantienen los datos en su memoria hasta que son bajados. Los investigadores de Biove...

A poster to introduce our approach to exposing farmers to more crops and their varieties, increasing first-hand knowledge about different traits and strengthening their seed systems and seed saving capacity. The poster shows how we are upscaling activities and some of the results so far, as well ...

Seeds for Needs - India: Broadening the genetic base of crops to empower farmers for climate change adaptation through crowdsourcing
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...
