Addressing climate change impacts on agriculture is special challenge. There are number of factors that influence the extent to which farmers in a particular location adopt CSA technologies. This study applied a participatory assessment method to assess farmers' preferences and willingness-to-pay...

Impacts of water and soil conservation strategies on households’ food security in North West of Benin.
Human activities and their relation with land, through agriculture and forestry, are significantly impacting Earth system functioning. Specifically, agriculture has increasingly become a key sector for adaptation and mitigation initiatives that address climate change and help ensure food security...

Food and Earth Systems: Priorities for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation for Agriculture and Food Systems
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is increasingly seen as a promising approach to feed the growing world population under climate change. The review explored how institutional perspectives are reflected in the CSA literature. In total, 137 publications were analyzed using institutional analysis fra...

Institutional Perspectives of Climate-Smart Agriculture: A Systematic Literature Review
In agricultural research, gender has been recognised as a critical issue that needs to be addressed to enhance household food security. However, prioritising gender is often taken to signify a focus on women, with most attention given to women’s lack of access to land and resources. Consequently,...
The impact of climate change is causing challenges for the agricultural production and food systems. More nutritious and climate resilient crop varieties are required, but lack of available and accessible trait diversity is limiting crop improvement. Crop wild relatives (CWR) are the wild cousins...

Modeling of crop wild relative species identifies areas globally for in situ conservation
The East African highlands, home to more than 80 cultivated varieties of locally evolved bananas, constitute a secondary centre of banana diversity. Uganda is the leading producer and consumer of banana in the region and also enjoys the highest diversity of a group of bananas uniquely adapted to ...

Diversity, distribution and farmer preferences of Musa cultivars in Uganda
New varieties are often developed on research stations with limited farmer involvement until the final stages of testing. Recently, farmer participatory approaches have been employed to include farmers' input into breeding objectives at much earlier stages of varietal development. This paper repo...

Selection criteria of Musa cultivars as determined through a farmer participatory appraisal survey in Uganda
Pathways through which agricultural production may influence markets, household food security, dietary patterns and nutritional status remain incompletely understood. While cross-sectional surveys are common,
national, population-based, standardized data collection systems that annually monitor m...
