The crowdsourcing vegetable pilot project was implemented in Hoima, Uganda, from March 2019 to the beginning of 2021, by East-West Seed Knowledge Transfer and the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, in collaboration with the World Vegetable Centre and the National Agricultural Research Organisation of Uganda and notably the Bulindi Zonal Agricultural Research and Development Institut

Analysis of farmer risk perceptions is usually limited to production risks, with risk perception as a function of likelihood and severity. Such an approach is limited in the context of the many risks and other important risk attributes. Our analysis of the risk perceptions of farmers extends beyond production risks, severity of the risks, and their likelihoods.

Sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI) has the potential to increase food security without detrimental effects on ecosystem services. However, adoption of SAI practices across sub-Saharan Africa has not reached transformational numbers to date.

Site‐specific soil fertility management requires a fundamental understanding of factors that modulate soil fertility variability in the local context.

To increase understanding of agricultural intensification processes over time and their sustainability, we studied dimensions of sustainability in the context of ongoing expansion of intensive, commercial mono-cropping of banana in Southwestern Uganda. In our approach we considered five dimensions of sustainability: economic, agricultural productivity, environment, social and human.

Although agriculture is the backbone of the African economy, it has faced considerable challenges in the past sixty years. Africa has moved from being a self-sufficiency continent before the 1960s, to net food importers, with a handful of countries facing severe food shortages from drought, desertification, climate change and wars.

The Participatory Vulnerability Analysis study was conducted in the 11 villages or barangays in Guinayangan Climate-Smart Village to provide a better understanding of the community and inform the project of the conditions and factors that affect their vulnerability to climate change impacts.

Guyana has densely populated coastal regions and relatively inaccessible Hinterland and is highly vulnerable to climate change and climate variability. The agriculture sector requires a transformation towards climate-resilient agriculture systems.
