Crop wild relatives are important for agriculture due to the genetic richness they possess. They have been used in plant breeding to develop high yielding varieties; varieties with improved resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, and enhanced nutritional content. Securing their conservation in...

El frijol común, Phaseolus vulgaris L., es una de las leguminosas de consumo humano más importantes a nivel mundial y su cultivo está principalmente en manos de pequeños productores, que enfrentan una serie de limitantes bióticas y abióticas para su producción. Dentro de las abióticas están el es...

The thesis explores the extent to which payment for the ecosystem service of carbon sequestration provided in a value chain context, through an innovative climate change mitigation and adaptation strategy known as 'carbon insetting', could generate 'win-win' outcomes for all actors. Drawing on e...

As the largest terrestrial ecosystem carbon (C) sink, soils store about 2500 Pg C in the top 1 m depth. Rangelands make up around 40 % of global land surface and contain about 30 % of global terrestrial soil organic carbon (SOC). Grazing is the most important use of rangelands worldwide which whe...

There is limited attention to impacts of climate change on pigs in Uganda by stakeholders despite the potential vulnerability of pigs to climate change, especially heat stress. Pigs are very sensitive to heat stress as they do not have functioning sweat glands (as other livestock species do) and ...
