The adoption of sustainable agricultural mechanization (SAM) can sustainably increase productivity, and increase ecosystem resilience. Thirty (30) baby trials and One mother trial were established to expand access to smallholder farmers to SAM technologies and generate and share scientific evidence on the performance of SAM technologies, services and information in Ghana. The demonstration trials utilize participatory research and extension approaches by using existing partnerships.

This Synthesis Report (SYR) of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) summarises the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since the publication of the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014.

Se examina el context de la ganadería en una parte del complejo de paramo Chiles- Cumbal,Nariño, Colombia, su impacto asociado a la erosión del suelo, la pérdida de biodiversidad y las consecuencias para la seguridad alimentaria. Se identificaron varios factores clave, como la deficiente capacitación técnica de los productores en temas técnicos y ambientales, conflicto en el uso del suelo debido a diferencias sociales, y presencia de grupos al margen de la ley.

Maize is the staple food of most households in sub-Saharan Africa. The adoption of stress-tolerant maize varieties (STMV) is being promoted due to climate change. There are various methods applied to disseminate these varieties. Unfortunately, the adoption at the household level is still unsatisfactory. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the dissemination methods used in Benin. We identified dissemination methods from key informants involved in STMV seed dissemination projects.

Mungbean is an important pulse crop in Bangladesh, where it is primarily grown in the south by small and marginal farming households who produce two-thirds of the total national mungbean crop. Mungbean is a short-duration crop which requires only 60-65 days from planting to harvest. It is typically grown between February and May with few inputs or intensive management, and is thus growing in popularity in southern Bangladesh.

Background
An understanding of farmers' preferences of new banana cultivars and their characteristics is critical for developing and selecting cultivars that meet consumer needs. Therefore, phenotypic selection in a genetically variable population remains an important aspect of plant breeding.
Methods

Terra-i+ is a website that uses remote sensing technology to help supplier-sourced agribusinesses monitor and report on geospatial data for purpose of EU Deforestation Regulation compliance, certification management, and carbon project management.
Our vision is to enable inclusive approaches to stop deforestation and implement innovative climate action in the supply chain, by closing the geospatial and carbon data gaps, and lowering the capacity barrier to use geospatial data in a simple-to-use platform.

Background
The social science and agribusiness research program at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) has supported the Institute’s research and delivery efforts since 1967. This Compendium highlights the main achievements of IITA’s social science and agribusiness research over the 55 years from 1967 to 2022.
