2021 Social Accounting Matrix for Nigeria: A Nexus Project SAM

декабря, 2022
Nigeria

The 2021 Nigeria Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) follows IFPRI's Standard Nexus SAM approach, by focusing on consistency, comparability, and transparency of data. The Nexus SAMs available on IFPRI's website separates domestic production into 42 activities. Factors are disaggregated into labor, agricultural land, and capital, with labor further disaggregated across three education-based categories. The household account is divided into 10 representative household groups: Rural and urban households across per capita consumption quintiles.

Conflicts between Farmers and Livestock Breeders in Mali: A Review of Dynamics and Issues in the Mopti Region

декабря, 2022
Mali

The central delta of the Niger is characterized by the coexistence of various production systems sharing water
and land as common elements. These systems have long interacted, complementing and substituting one another through efficient socio-spatial organization. However,
several factors have led to the emergence of challenges between users of natural resources, especially farmers and herders. This makes the central delta of the Niger one of
the Sahelian regions where conflicts have taken alarming proportions.

Agrifood systems policy research: historical evolution of agrifood systems in Haryana, India. Policy and institutional evolution

декабря, 2022
India

This study examines the evolution of public policy and institutions shaping the agrifood systems in Haryana, India, from 1850 to the present. Public policy is conceptualized as representing state intent (Narain 2018; Dye 2002); in the context of this study, this includes a historical review of public policy spanning the colonial as well as postcolonial eras. Institutions are conceptualized as regularized practices, norms, and codes of conduct that structure repeated human interactions (North 1990).

Transition pathway towards agroecology in the semi-arid olive-based farming systems of Tunisia

декабря, 2022
Tunisia

Global population growth will require a 50% increase in food production by 2050. However, the current food system that promotes productivity and competitiveness has failed to provide nutritious food for all and contributes to environmental (gas emissions, pollution) and natural resources degradation (overexploitation).

Climate Knowledge Products Revamped in the Undergraduate Agriculture Curricula: Alternative option to ensure the dynamic nature of curricula in Ethiopia

декабря, 2022
Ethiopia

Climate change education plays a vital role in addressing the climate crisis (Vaughter, 2016). By incorporating climate knowledge products into the curriculum, enhancing the capacity of staff to teach the subject, improving teaching infrastructure, and providing necessary financial support, educational institutions can contribute to nurturing a knowledgeable and future-oriented workforce.

Towards optimised climate-smart agriculture resource investment decisions: Mapping program impact areas, policy support and mitigation feasibility

декабря, 2022
Global

This scoping study documents climate-smart agriculture efforts in Ghana, their scalability, and potential resilience impacts. The work fills the gap in CSA use evidence and provides a methodological approach for mapping and evaluating its feasibility. The results provide insights and evidence to support policy formulation, agenda setting and strategy development. As the saying goes, "You can't manage what you can't measure" the paucity of data and evidence on the key aspects of where, when, what, by who on CSA usage hampers implementation.

Pathways to Empowerment: Case Studies of Positive Deviances in Gender Relations in Ethiopia

декабря, 2022
Ethiopia

Development efforts have increased women's perceived empowerment and freedom, yet have failed to sustainably alter gender norms. There is a lack of research investigating reasons for this anomaly. This study, departing from the conventional approach, tries to fill this gap by employing an interpretative phenomenological approach to assess how women have managed to achieve expanded agency while living within a constraining normative environment.

Sahel social cohesion research in Burkina Faso and Niger: Research Brief

Burkina Faso

The World Food Programme (WFP) supports communities to mitigate the impact of and build resilience to natural and human-made shocks and stressors that contribute to food insecurity and destabilize people’s livelihoods. WFP’s interventions, therefore, aim to equip communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools to avert or mitigate the impact of cyclical natural events such as droughts and floods through asset and capacity building in affected communities.

Land degradation and restoration in Lao Cai and Son La Provinces, northern mountainous region of Vietnam. Scoping study for the One CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions

декабря, 2022
Global

Vietnam is among the few countries worldwide that have experienced a net increase in forest cover in the past decades. Widespread tree planting efforts have provided important income sources for local communities, including ethnic minority groups. However, the emphasis has been on monocrop plantations of exotic tree species, which has yielded limited ecosystem service benefits such as biodiversity conservation and watershed protection.

Intervening in complex agrifood systems: Assessing outcomes of a multistakeholder approach in central Mozambique

декабря, 2022
United States of America

Inclusive co-design of system innovations incorporates diverse perspectives and bodies of knowledge that can generate solutions that fit well in a local context and over time influence the socio-technical regime. In operationalizing system transformation-oriented co-design processes, research and development actors have experimented in recent decades with the role of multistakeholder approaches. A specific application of such approaches in the agrifood system context are Agricultural Innovation Platforms (AIPs).

Demonstrating the benefit of agricultural biotechnology in developing countries by bridging the public and private sectors

декабря, 2022
Global

The agricultural transformation of Brazil through soybean intensification in the Cerrado biome is the closest model that Africa could follow, given the similarities in land mass, shared biophysical constraints (especially soil), ecological diversity and low population density11. However, a single integrated market and regulatory environment must be created, and African scientists must lead the scientific innovation in Africa.
