A new review report concludes that seed (related) policies and laws in 14 African countries acknowledge to some degree that farmer-managed seed systems exist, but most of them do not provide concrete support for farmer-managed seed systems.

This multiscale irrigation decision tool aims at helping Farmers and agriculture/water managers at basin level get better yield predictions according to water and climate stress to guide scaling of new water saving irrigation techniques with minimal productivity trade-off. Experiment and C4S yield gap prediction tool development in good progress.

Despite being an increasingly important source of genes for crop breeding aimed at improv-
ing food security and climate change adaptation, crop wild relatives (CWRs) are globally threatened.
A root cause of CWR conservation challenges is a lack of institutions and payment mechanisms by

This study sought to understand the extent of digital technology usage across Zambezi riparian countries and analyze whether there is a conducive enabling environment for digital technology upscaling for climate adaptation. The study thus, examined the relationship between having a better enabling environment and the use of digital technologies in agriculture.

This report presents field activities carried out in the period 2019-2022 in support of farmer-managed seed systems in South Africa, in particular the conservation efforts and participatory variety selection (PVS) carried out by the community seed banks of Gumbu, Jericho and Sterkspruit.

An enabling environment with clear, inclusive, and transparent seed laws, policies, regulations, and guidelines is the foundation for an efficient and effective seed sector.

Drought has become one of the most devastating natural risks of agricultural production and the environment in almost all climate regions. Thus, understanding the spatiotemporal characteristics of drought and its associated impacts is crucial in drought early warning management and adaptation efforts.

Respiratory diseases contribute significant economic losses to the swine industry globally. In Uganda, no detailed studies on pig respiratory pathogens have been undertaken previously. This doctoral thesis aimed to fill knowledge gaps on epidemiology of important respiratory pathogens, gastro-intestinal (GIT) parasites and their economic impacts on smallholder pig production systems in Uganda.
