These slides were used during the Stakeholders’ Consultation Meeting on Agrifood value chains in Odisha Challenges and Opportunities, at Auditorium, Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Empowerment (Krushi Bhavan) Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India on 29 November 2023.

Livestock production in Ethiopia has been constrained by feed shortage, low quality and seasonal fluctuations. The use of high-yielding, good quality and drought-tolerant forage legumes like alfalfa and vetch has been suggested to overcome the feed constraints. These forage legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen when being in symbiosis with rhizobia, but show variations in terms of N2-fixation, calling for exploring the best symbionts.

The purpose of the 2022 Annual workshop of the project “Development and Scaling of Sustainable Feeds
for Resilient Aquatic Food Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (FASA)” was to bring together project partners
to meet in person, discuss the overall project goal and the specific project activities in each country, and
conduct the 2023 annual planning for the FASA project.

Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of planted forest area is located in East Asia. However, reliable records of the geographic distribution and tree species composition of these planted forests remain very limited.

As agrifood stakeholders increasingly strive to contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment, it is critical that they develop effective gender-responsive monitoring systems to track progress and guide decision-making. This brief aims to:
• Provide an overview of gender-responsive monitoring approaches, including suggested steps and elements for those seeking to develop or improve their monitoring approaches;
• Offer a curated shortlist of turnkey resources appropriate for different agrifood stakeholders; and

Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp is a well-known agroforestry leguminous tree that provides multiple benefits in different agroecological zones. Its apparent versatility is seen in improving animal feed, cleaning environmental wastes, and healing inflammations. It was also found to have significant benefits in agroforestry due to its ability to enhance soil fertility through nitrogen fixation and green manure. However, this article reviews the use of Gliricidia sepium to improve soil fertility and crop agronomic and nutritional properties.

This presentation is a collection of slides used by speakers at the National Wheat Day Workshop on February 13-14, 2023 held in Cairo, Egypt.

Gender and Plant Health has often been seen as a very unusual combination, since two disciplines have a different epistemological orientation, use different languages, and have limited experience in working together.

This report summarizes the processes of developing the national fisheries and aquaculture policy in Nigeria in a 2-day consultation workshop with more than 63 stakeholders from the government ministries, nongovernmental and civil society organizations, research institutes, universities, and donors.

For grain yield stability analysis, genotype by environment interactions are crucial in properly identifying and discriminating between varieties and locations.

Indigenous knowledge, developed over generations and owned by communities or individuals within a community, offers alternative strategies and perspectives on resource management and
use. However, as emphasized in the contemporary agricultural history of Ethiopia, the most effective indigenous agricultural knowledge has not been well documented and some of them are
replaced by modern techniques. This study was therefore conducted to assess and document community-based techniques to control pests and diseases and the practical implications of
