The TAFSSA district food 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 in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. It is intended to be a multi-year assessment.
This report present progress and achievement of the seed multiplication activities under the Ukama Ustawi (UU) regional initiative in Malawi. International potato Center and its key research partner, Department of Agriculture and Research services (DARS) has been carrying out sweetpotato early generation seed (EGS) multiplication at Bvumbwe research stations.
The granular gender and climate change vulnerability hotspot mapping for decision support study in Uganda reveals sub-national level gendered climate vulnerabilities that require policy intervention to build community resilience to the impacts of climate change in the three sectors of agriculture, water and energy.
Nearly half of Vietnam’s wetlands are concentrated in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. Wetlands play an important role in carbon storage while contributing to Vietnam’s biological diversity and economy. This report reviews the wider literature to understand how land use within the Vietnamese Mekong Delta and likely management scenarios can impact greenhouse gas emissions.
Cocoa production is a major export crop in West African countries such as Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, and Nigeria. These countries collectively contribute to 70% of global cocoa production. Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, and Togo are leading economies and significant hubs for cocoa production.
The current report presents a machine learning model developed to predict malaria prevalence based on rainfall patterns, specifically tailored to different regions within Senegal. The developed model takes into account the varying climate conditions across regions to provide a more localized and accurate prediction.
Knowledge management and sharing is essential for agricultural development, fostering the exchange of valuable information and innovative practices among researchers, farmers, and extension officers.
This study presents an innovative tool and approach developed to facilitate the adaptive testing or monitoring of e-flow frameworks and environmental flows (e-flows) implementation using digital tools and real-time data to ensure sustainable water resource management.
In response to the escalating waste management challenges triggered by rapid urbanization and its effects on resource use and the environment a Circular Bioeconomy Innovation Hub (CBE-IH) has been set-up in Ghana, under the leadership and facilitation of the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) with the support of CGIAR Initiatives Resilient Cities and Nature Positive Solutions.
CGIAR Initiative on Climate Resilience (ClimBeR) focuses on seven representative, low and middle income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America naming Kenya Morocco, Senegal, Zambia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Guatemala.
Livestock production in Tanzania remains overwhelmingly traditional, especially for ruminants, while domestic demand remains very much for products produced in traditional value chains. However, there are opportunities for upgrading value chains, especially in manufacturing leather and expanding productivity for milk and meat.
The dynamic digitalization of agri-food systems has generated a call for a Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach, emphasizing ethical and sustainable technology adoption. Existing RRI frameworks prioritize fair benefits distribution, data privacy, and stakeholder engagement, aiming for transparent governance and proactive risk management.
