Impacts of different land and water management interventions on runoff and sediment yield under climate change: a case study from the Bale Eco-Region, Ethiopia
This study evaluated the impacts of land and water management (LWM) intervention scenarios on runoff and sediment yield (SY) in Ethiopia's Bale Eco-Region (BER) under changing climate conditions. The scenarios analyzed include implementing...
Drought-Tolerant Barley Brings Hope to Tunisia’s Farmers
Through the Crop Trust's BOLD project, our scientists are developing and testing drought-tolerant barley varieties in collaboration with local researchers and farmers in Tunisia.
Assessing sustainability in small dairy cattle farms: Pathways for improvement in northeastern Tunisia
In Tunisia, rising costs, low productivity, and climate change have reduced cattle numbers in the last decade. This study evaluates the sustainability of small dairy cattle farms in northeastern Tunisia and explores pathways for improvement. A...
Creating a business model for Farmers’ Organizations in Tunisia: Lessons learned to strengthen and support their activities
Farmers’ organizations have become a central element in agricultural policies and have established themselves as key partners in development programs in developing countries. This study aims to create a business model for Melyane Mutual...
Landscape approaches for sustainable land systems: A critical systematic review of frameworks, governance, and socio-ecological outcomes
Persistent sectoral fragmentation in governance actively hinders effective responses to the global biodiversity crisis. Landscape approaches (LAs) emerge a direct countermeasure to this fragmentation, designed as integrative frameworks for...
Correlating the 1H NMR fingerprinting of a collection of red lentil varieties with seed colour and morphology using advanced statistical analyses
This study aimed to investigate the biochemical basis of seed morphological traits in red lentils that are important for lentil producers in relation to quality, consumers’ preferences and commercial value. To achieve this objective, proton...
Gendered perceptions on spatiotemporal rainfall and temperature variability among pastoral and agropastoral communities of west Guji and Borana zones, southern Ethiopia
The link between gender perceptions of climate variability and meteorological evidence was highly unnoticed in Ethiopia. This study analyzed gendered perceptions of spatiotemporal rainfall and temperature variability and trends in the west Guji...
BrAPI v2: real-world applications for data integration and collaboration in the breeding and genetics community
Population growth and the impacts of climate change are placing increasing pressure on global agriculture and breeding programmes. Recent advancements in phenotyping techniques, genotyping technologies, and predictive modelling are accelerating...
Root-Derived Trans-Zeatin-Type Cytokinins Increase Cold Tolerance in Rice Seedlings by Regulating Energy Metabolism
Rice seedlings are highly sensitive to low-temperature stress. Cytokinins are important endogenous signalling molecules in plants and play a critical role in regulating stress responses. However, the mechanism by which cytokinins mediate cold...
