Increasing the nutritional composition of food is a strategy to add added value to products in key agrochains, contributing to food security, and providing nutritional compounds available to improve selected nutritional deficiencies. An increased level of β-carotenes is an important contribution to reducing vitamin A deficiency. In Colombia, the Bioversity-CIAT...

A profound transformation of purpose means that agrifood systems are expected to attain multiple sustainability outcomes, beyond producing enough food, towards achieving human and planetary health for current and future generations. Yet, despite the existing range of policies, innovations and interventions, agrifood systems transformation is hindered by short-term thinking, siloed...

This document corresponds to Chapter 3 of the IPBES thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 Vision for Biodiverty. Chapter 3 assesses the literature and a set of cases on how transformative change occurs.Based on this assessment, it identifies...

In pursuit of their net zero objectives, countries are using, or plan to use, a widely varied set of approaches. This richness of policy experiences provides valuable insights on the effects of different tools, which can be adapted to unique national circumstances, but international cooperation will be needed to ensure...

Background: The assessment of seminal quality parameters is often the initial step in bull selection for siring or conservation purposes. While these parameters provide insights into fertility, delving into the molecular dynamics occurring within sperm cells can complement this primary reproductive evaluation. Cholesterol, one of the most active molecules on the...

Land management plays a crucial role in addressing climate change, which makes transparent monitoring essential. Countries have considerable flexibility in setting targets, defining the scope of the land sector, and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from it. They are, however, required to do this in a manner that...

This paper outlines the accomplishments of the first phase of the Rural Livelihood Development Project, financed by the Rural Poor Stimulus Facility, and the Facility for Refugees, Migrants and Forced Displacement in Yemen. Community contracting and climate-resilient infrastructure improved access to clean water, irrigation and flood protection, while strengthening local governance...

Au Burkina Faso, on constate une dégradation importante des sols liée à une gestion insuffisante des éléments nutritifs et à des pratiques agricoles inadaptées aux conditions climatiques et pédologiques. Les pratiques d’agroécologie sont des solutions endogènes permettant de répondre à ces défis. L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser l’évolution des...

The Digital agriculture and AI innovation roadmap crystallizes a shared vision: an agrifood future where innovation is inclusive, trusted, and relentlessly focused on impact. Developed through a multistakeholder dialogue, the roadmap translates the high-level ambition of more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems (AFS) into a three-year action plan...

Más 170 agricultores, profesionales del agro y académicos se reunieron en el seminario “Biodiversidad funcional e Intensificación ecológica, perspectivas para la agricultura en transición” realizado en la PUCV en Quillota.La actividad buscó presentar las más recientes investigaciones en materia de biodiversidad e intensificación ecológica en respuesta a los desafíos que enfrenta...

A comprehensive methodological model was developed for evaluating the risk of desertification and land degradation in Andean mountainous areas (MRDA), as a support for climate-smart sustainability. The conceptual framework was based on the concept of risk and involved structuring the methodological model and adapting biophysical and land-use indicators to estimate...

Cropland encroachment is a major driver of conflict between farmers and herders in Sudan. This technical note used satellite imagery and on-the-ground surveys to monitor a livestock route in Sennar State. The results are promising. After the route was re-demarcated, the total area of cropland within it decreased by over 7,500...
