Reinforcing knowledge, market-based incentives, and bean quality in Honduras: estimating impacts of a bundled innovation using a cluster randomized controlled trial
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are an important source of food and protein in Honduras and the region. Smallholders produce most of the beans, and they face many biotic and abiotic challenges. Roughly 10-15% of bean producers in Honduras belong to a farmer association.

Info Note: Strengthening Food Systems Transformation in East and Southern Africa: Leveraging Science Driven Business Acceleration to Catalyse Private Sector Finance
• Agriculture in Africa has untapped potential to meet regional and global food demands, but it faces
challenges like fragmentation, inefficient value chains, and climate shocks. Transforming food systems will
come at a cost.
• There is an opportunity to harness business acceleration as a catalyst for private sector financing food

In the realm of agricultural advancement, the intersection of technology and farming practices has been a cornerstone for enhancing productivity and sustainability. As global food demands continue to rise, innovative solutions are crucial for maximizing agricultural outputs.
Best management practices for hatcheries culturing African catfish
This document was put together with the aim of providing best management practices (BMPs) to small and
medium-sized hatcheries producing African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings or juveniles. Adhering
to these practices will not only increase efficiency and profit for farmers but will also minimize losses and

Hydroxamic acids: new players in the multifactorial mechanisms of maize resistance to Striga hermonthica
Striga hermonthica is the most widespread and destructive plant parasite infesting maize and other major crops in sub-Saharan Africa where it causes severe yield losses and threatens food security. Several tolerant maize lines supporting reduced S. hermonthica emergence have been deployed. However, the molecular bases of such resistance are yet poorly understood.
