En este documento se ofrece una propuesta para el fortalecimiento de la cadena de valor de la miel de abeja y para la incorporación de valor agregado a los productos derivados de la colmena en la región del Pacífico Central costarricense. El proceso se llevó a cabo mediante un acuerdo de cooperac...

Incorporación de mayor valor en la cadena de la miel y productos derivados de la colmena en el Pacífico Central, Costa Rica
El principal objetivo de este documento es analizar algunas de las principales políticas públicas sobre cambio climático y bosques en América Latina. Ello incluye la revisión de los posibles impactos del en el sector forestal de América Latina, así como su papel tanto en mitigación como adaptació...

Cambio climático y políticas públicas forestales en América Latina: una visión preliminar
Climate variability with unexpected droughts and floods causes serious production losses and worsens food security, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study applies stochastic bioeconomic modeling to analyze smallholder adaptation to climate and price variability in Ethiopia. It uses the agen...

The Coral Triangle is a global priority for conservation and since the creation of the Coral Triangle Initiative in 2007 it has been a major focus for a multi-lateral conservation partnership uniting the region's six governments. The Coral Triangle (CT) Atlas was developed to provide scientists a...

Promising environmental mechanisms to control malaria are presently underutilized. Water level fluctuations to interrupt larval development have recently been studied and proposed as a low-impact malaria intervention in Ethiopia. One impediment to implementing such new environmental policies is t...

Nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle that
generates nitrate through microbial activity, may enhance losses
of fertilizer nitrogen by leaching and denitrification. Certain
plants can suppress soil-nitrification by releasing inhibitors from
roots, a phenomenon termed biological...

The increasing use of multi-member climate model ensembles for making future climate impact assessments presents both opportunities for understanding uncertainties, and challenges for interpreting the results. We outline current approaches to assessing uncertainties in climate impacts, statistica...

Partly due to severe lack of instrumental climate data, the drivers of the African climate, their interactions and impacts are poorly understood. The paper demonstrates the prospects and applications of dendroecological and stable isotope techniques, such as to reconstruct climate variability, tr...

As satellite technology develops, satellite rainfall estimates are likely to become ever more important in the world of food security. It is therefore vital to be able to identify the uncertainty of such estimates and for end users to be able to use this information in a meaningful way. This pape...
