Cruz García, Gisella S.Struik, Paul C.[Spatial and seasonal diversity of wild food plants in home gardens of Northeast Thailand]Spatial and seasonal diversity of wild food plants in home gardens of Northeast Thailand

Seed potato degeneration, the reduction in yield or quality caused by an accumulation of pathogens and pests in planting material due to successive cycles of vegetative propagation, has been a long-standing production challenge for potato growers around the world. In developed countries this prob...


Thomas-Sharma, SaraAbdurahman, A.Ali SAndrade-Piedra, J.L.Bao, S.Charkowski ACrook DKadian, M.Kromann, P.Struik, Paul C.Torquebiau, Emmanuel F.Garrett, K.A.Forbes, G.[Seed degeneration in potato: the need for an integrated seed health strategy to mitigate the problem in developing countries]Seed degeneration in potato: the need for an integrated seed health strategy to mitigate the problem in developing countries

High seed quality is a critical component for realising yield potential. For smallholder cowpea farmers in northern Nigeria the informal seed system is a major supplier of genetically high-quality seed, but the physiological quality of farmers’ produced seed remains unknown. The project “Promotin...


Biemond, P.C.Stomph, T.Kamara, A.Abdoulaye, TahirouHearne, S.Struik, Paul C.[Are investments in an informal seed system for cowpea a worthwhile endeavour?]Are investments in an informal seed system for cowpea a worthwhile endeavour?
Peña-Venegas, Clara PStomph, Tjeerd JanVerschoor, GerardBecerra López Lavelle, Luis AugustoStruik, Paul C.[Differences in manioc diversity among five ethnic groups of the Colombian Amazon]Differences in manioc diversity among five ethnic groups of the Colombian Amazon

Improved potato varieties can increase potato yields of smallholders, and thus contribute to food security improvement in Ethiopia. However, the uptake of these varieties by farmers is very limited so far and this is one of the causes of insufficient seed quality in the seed potato system in Ethi...

Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is a versatile, stress-tolerant, and nutritious grain legume, possessing traits of value for enhancing the sustainability of dry sub-tropical and tropical agricultural systems. The use of crop wild relatives (CWR) in pigeonpea breeding has been successful in...

The use of crop wild relatives (CWRs) in breeding is likely to continue to intensify as utilization techniques improve and crop adaptation to climate change becomes more pressing. Significant gaps remain in the conservation of these genetic resources. As a first step toward a national strategy fo...

Research into the origins of food plants has led to the recognition that specific geographical regions around the world have been of particular importance to the development of agricultural crops. Yet the relative contributions of these different regions in the context of current food systems hav...

Approaches to food security primarily focus on technological solutions, seeking to produce more food, preferably with fewer resources. It has been argued that access to food involves issues of resource distribution and social marginalization. Governance is seen as one of the keys to redressing th...
