Global seed transfers through trade, and collection and distribution of genetic resources by
genebanks are important pathways for the transboundary spread of seed-borne pests,
especially viruses that the insect vectors can further transmit upon introduction. Various
phytosanitary procedures, including the IPPC International Standard Phytosanitary
Measures, have been established to minimize the risk of seed transmission and provide
access to quality seeds crucial for food production and biodiversity conservation. This -

Recent years have witnessed an increasing global concern about the loss of plant genetic
resources, as a result of conflicts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., which led to disrupting
access to some germplasm and undermining social protection systems, and thus an increase
in global awareness to preserve germplasm for their current and future use. This led
genebanks all over the world to create disaster risk reduction policies to organize activities in
the safekeeping, conservation, and dissemination of germplasm resources. Safety -

Wheat is one of the most important crops which contributes toward global food security and
represents a main source of food and income for millions of smallholder farmers worldwide.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) is the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight wheat
disease which can cause up to 50% yield loss or more depending on the time of infection
and region. In addition, Pss is transmitted by wheat seeds, which can play a role in longdistance
spread. Therefore, developing and implementing effective management strategies -

Germplasm seed exchange from CGIAR genebanks and breeding is important to global
agricultural research and development programs. Seed as a pathway for pest spread is an
inherent risk for international seed exchanges. Phytosanitary controls have been established
in accordance with the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) to protect global
plant health from transboundary pest invasion. This presentation summarizes pest risks to
international germplasm distribution; CGIAR Germplasm Health Units (GHUs) procedures to -

Sustainable soil nutrient management (SNM) is important for improving soil resources and food security in sub-Saharan African countries. Inherent livelihood diversity may lead to differences in household behavior in the adoption of SNM practices, thus challenging policy interventions uniformly implemented. This study aims at exploring the responsive heterogeneity in household behavior in the adoption of fertilizer use by farmers. Determinants of fertilizer uses were analyzed across different farm types.

The Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) is a research for action tool that asses the availability and utilisation of local feed resources with the aim of creating context specific feed interventions. It is a tool that is more inclined towards pushing for participatory methods in agricultural research for development, while incorporating the increased use of technology in the developing world.
