This study focuses on the valuation of ecosystem services in Kenya and Vietnam, two countries that have received much attention from the international development community for their biodiversity significance, opportunities for scaling, climate an

Substantial model variability exists regarding the likely meteorological impact of climate change on Kenya, particularly with respect to future precipitation levels.

Even before the current global COVID-19 health crisis — whose potential long-term impacts on food systems are still unclear (Béné et al.

The program NEXUS Gains addresses key challenges of transforming water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary bread-basket basins in East and Southern Africa (Blue Nile and Limpopo basins), Central (Aral Sea basin) and South A

Evidence on the effectiveness of a payments for ecosystem services (PES) program in Southern Malawi encouraging the adoption of soil conservation practices, specifically conservation agriculture

Conventional agricultural practices – especially conventional tillage – are a major driver of soil erosion globally.

Without large changes in consumption as well as sharp reductions of food waste and post-harvest losses, agricultural production must grow to meet future food demands.

Higher incomes in developing countries are associated with dietary shifts away from traditional staples towards highly processed foods and foods with higher nutritive value, such as animal source foods (Popkin 2004; Delgado et al. 2001).

Empirical evidence on the link between agrobiodiversity and dietary diversity appears to be inconclusive.

Farm diversity,  maize stock in the household, household asset index, & agro‐ecological zone were the main predictors of hemoglobin and anemia among children & adolescents in Ghana.

As climate change makes precipitation shocks more common, policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in protecting food systems and nutrition outcomes from the damaging effects of droughts and floods (Wheeler and von Braun, 2013).

This dataset includes a baseline and endline survey from a cluster-randomized sample of households within villages covering the five uppermost Extension Planning Areas (EPAs) in the Shire River Basin in southern Malawi, spanning the districts of B

Small-Scale Irrigation (SSI) interventions, like other development interventions, need to take into account men’s and women’s context-specific roles in agriculture and their related gender-based preferences and challenges.

Chapter 2 describes the context in which policy and investment decisions will have to take place, finding that in the years leading up to 2050, African countries will continue to grow, and many will reach middle-income status.

Using panel data from farm households in northern Nigeria and spatial data on agroecological factors, this study shows that crop productivity and technical efficiency at farm household level is positively affected by the degree of similarity betwe

Agricultural productivity in Ethiopia’s highlands, the country’s breadbasket, is threatened by severe land degradation.
