Irrigation has been, and will remain, instrumental in addressing water security (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6), food insecurity (SDG 2) and poverty (SDG 1) goals. However, the global context in which irrigation takes place is changing rapidly. A call for healthier and more sustainable foo...

Rethinking irrigation modernisation: realising multiple objectives through the integration of fisheries
Understanding how novel microbes enter into the human population is perhaps the fundamental goal of the study of emerging infectious diseases (EID). The frequency at which microbes will emerge is determined by the diversity of microbes present in the environment, the level of contact between a po...

Climate change has resulted in an increase in the intensity of droughts and rains, and higher temperatures which
are adversely affecting crop production in Africa. It has also influenced the distribution and increased the occurrence of disease and pest epidemics. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L...

Our paper aims to analyze the modalities of coordination among local actors who are involved in integrated water resources management. So as to understand the dynamics of territorialization, we ground our analysis in the proximity framework to highlight that social and spatial relations around wa...

Smallholder value chains are dynamic, changing over time in sudden, unpredictable ways as they adapt to shocks. Understanding these dynamics and adaptation is essential for these chains to remain competitive in turbulent markets. Many guides to value chain development, though they focus welcome a...

Smallholder value chains as complex adaptive systems: a conceptual framework
Smallholder farmers who grow diverse landraces in centres of crop diversity contribute to sustaining the capacity of agricultural and food systems to adapt to change by maintaining crop evolution in their fields today, thus enabling humanity to continue to have the broad genetic variation needed ...

Conserving landraces and improving livelihoods: how to assess the success of on-farm conservation projects?
Recurrent food crises and global environmental change are critical issues that
pushed food security and sustainability to the top of the policy agenda. Policy-makers
need assessment tools that help them decide what actions they should take to achieve these
goals. This paper proposes a new metr...
