Enumeration and molecular detection of Bacillus cereus in local indigenous and imported rice grains
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 5 - Trang 1-5 - 2016
Bacillus cereus is frequently related to foodborne illness outbreak. The common food vehicles for transmission of the bacteria are rice, rice products and starchy foods. As rice is a staple food for some countries including Malaysia, knowledge about safety of B. cereus in rice is important. This study was conducted to enumerate and identify B. cereus in local indigenous...... hiện toàn bộ
Adoption of complementary climate-smart agricultural technologies: lessons from Lushoto in Tanzania
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 10 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Agriculture is important for economic growth and development in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania. However, agricultural production and productivity remain relatively low, with significant yield gaps attributed to factors such as limited access to and low adoption of appropriate agricultural technologies, and climate-related risks resulting from climate variability and chang...... hiện toàn bộ
Is bean really a women’s crop? Men and women’s participation in bean production in Uganda
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 6 - Trang 1-11 - 2017
Common bean one of the grain legumes that was traditionally considered a subsistence crop and therefore a woman’s crop in Uganda was prioritized for commercialization. This has transformed the crop from being a subsistence crop (food security crop) to a commercial crop with more men engaged in its production. Little is known about the possibility of gender conflicts in production activities as the...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial and temporal genetic variation in Ethiopian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces as revealed by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 10 - Trang 1-14 - 2021
Ethiopia is considered as center of diversity for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and it is grown across different agro-ecologies of the country. Unraveling population structure and gene flow status on temporal scales assists an evaluation of the consequences of physical, demographic and overall environmental changes on the stability and persistence of populations. This study was to examine spatial an...... hiện toàn bộ
Back to baselines: measuring change and sharing data
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 3 - Trang 1-10 - 2014
International research for development is under increasing pressure to demonstrate development outcomes that enhance people’s food security and well-being while preserving the natural resource base. The CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) integrates thematic research at several levels with multiple global, regional and local partners, with the aim of i...... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of climate-resilient push–pull technology on farmers’ income in selected counties in Kenya and Tanzania: propensity score matching approach
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 12 - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Agricultural research and technology adoption play a key role in improving productivity and therefore generate impact on household livelihoods. The push–pull technology developed by the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology and collaborators/partners has been recognized for its multiple roles in productivity improvement and income generation. However, the subsequent impacts after i...... hiện toàn bộ
Unfulfilled farmer expectations: the case of the Insect Resistant Maize for Africa (IRMA) project in Kenya
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 1 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Maize is the most important staple food in Kenya; any reduction in production and yield therefore often becomes a national food security concern. To address the challenge posed by the maize stem borer, the Insect Resistant Maize for Africa (IRMA) agricultural biotechnology public-private partnership (PPP) project was launched in 1999. There were, however, pre-existing concerns regarding the use of...... hiện toàn bộ
Cocoa farming households in Ghana consider organic practices as climate smart and livelihoods enhancer
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 5 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Several state and non-state organizations are promoting organic agriculture as a climate smart option among cocoa farmers in the Ashanti region of Ghana. In this study, flora diversity and livelihoods position in organic and conventional farming were measured and compared. The experiment included 32 households with young plantations. Jaccard similarity, Shannon (H′) and Simpson (D) diversity indic...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of climate-smart agricultural practices on household food security in smallholder production systems: micro-level evidence from Kenya
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 7 - Trang 1-14 - 2018
Climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa has had a negative impact on agricultural production leading to food insecurity. Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices have the potential to reverse this trend because of its triple potential benefits of improved productivity and high income, reduction or removal of greenhouse gases and improved household food security. Hence, we empirically find the deter...... hiện toàn bộ
Village chicken production and food security: a two-decade bibliometric analysis of global research trends
Agriculture & Food Security - Tập 11 - Trang 1-20 - 2022
The present study aimed to reveal outputs of research works on village chicken production as a tool to combat food insecurity, taking into account the recurring challenge posed by food shortage and high rise in hunger among vulnerable people of several countries. On aggregate, 104 publications were obtained in a BibTeX design for analysis using bibliometric package in R studio. The obtained data c...... hiện toàn bộ
