Diverse crops, diverse Incomes: A concise guide to implement farmer-led crop budgeting in Bangladesh

december, 2022
Bangladesh

Farmer-led crop budgeting can be a valuable tool for examining how individuals or groups of farmers utilize and generate resources during agricultural operations. Budgeting exercises enable the quantification and analysis of resource inputs and outputs for a particular operation, resource, or the entire farming enterprise. They can be particularly useful when comparing between alterative suites of diverse crops and cropping systems.

Satellite based approach for rice yield monitoring and forecasting

december, 2022
Global

Rice yield forecasting is a crucial task for management and planning. A rice yield estimation system (RIICE) was developed based on the crop growth model ORYZA and SAR derived key information such as start of season (SOS) and leaf area growth rate. Results from study sites in Sikasso and Segou regions suggest that incorporating remote sensing data, specifically Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), into a process-based crop model improves the spatial distribution of yield estimates.

Status, challenges, and opportunities of mixed farming system in Bangladesh

december, 2022
Bangladesh

About 85% of Bangladesh's land is plain land where the mixed farming system (MFS) is practiced in which crops and livestock, as major enterprises are integrated. The objectives of this study were to characterize Bangladesh's MFSs and identify their potential and problems at two representative locations in the country's north and south. Focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and field visits were used in the study. The results showed that the current MFSs were characterized by a mixture of subsistence and commercial farming and intensive and small-scale land ownership.

Excellence in Agronomy Initiative Add-on Sampling Strategy

december, 2022
Kenya

A survey tool was developed by the EiA add-on teams for administering by Use Case teams within their areas of implementation. The tool was developed to understand farmer segmentation, gender and generational differences in agricultural management practices and technology adoption, yield gap decomposition and baseline values of key performance indicators in the Use Case population(s) of interest.

Ethiopia

Agriculture, the backbone of the Ethiopian economy, contributes roughly 40% of GDP, more than 75% of employment, and 80% of foreign exchange earnings (FAO, 2019). Ethiopian agriculture relies heavily on natural rainfall, with irrigation used on only about 5% of total cultivated land (Effa et al., 2023). As a result, the sector is highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate change

Adolescents’ diets and aspirations in Surkhet, Nepal: Food consumption, task allocation, and future aspirations

december, 2022
India

The Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) district agrifood systems assessment aims to provide a reliable, accessible, and integrated evidence base that links farm production, market access, dietary patterns, climate risk responses, and natural resource management with gender as a cross-cutting issue in rural areas of Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. It is designed to be a multi-year assessment. The survey was conducted only in households with adolescents (10-19 years of age).

Supply chain risk assessment and management toolkit

december, 2022
Global

The Supply Chain Risk Assessment and Management Toolkit, developed by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT in collaboration with FMO and Mercon Coffee Group, has the objective of helping companies assess the risks of engaging with or endorsing unlawful/unethical practices in their agricultural supply chains, and defining adequate measures to prevent, minimize and mitigate their impacts. The toolkit groups risks in three major Areas: Labor, Human Rights, and Environment, which are further disaggregated in Sub-Areas and Components.

Digital Agri Co-Lab: Fostering research, collaboration & skills for enabling digital innovation in agri-food systems

december, 2022
Global

Digital innovation continues to offer opportunities for a transformative shift in the Global South's agrifood sector, but it also faces significant challenges. Known for its diverse agricultural practices and smallscale farming, the Global South requires customized solutions to enhance productivity and sustainability and ensure scaling. Obstacles like the increasing digital divide, weak information systems and infrastructure, and limited digital capabilities, particularly among marginalized rural populations, hinder progress.
