Agricultural development projects increasingly aim to improve health and nutrition outcomes, often by engaging women.
Estimating local agricultural GDP across the world
Economic statistics are frequently produced at an administrative level such as the sub-national division.
Efforts to increase smallholder access to improved varieties and quality seed is often central to agricultural development, economic growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries.
Reducing vulnerability to forced labour and trafficking of women migrant workers from South- to West-Asia
This paper raises a fundamental question about Sub-Saharan Africa: has urbanization there been accompanied by improvements in personal wellbeing?
History of anthropogenic Nitrogen inputs (HaNi) to the terrestrial biosphere: A 5 arcmin resolution annual dataset from 1860 to 2019
Excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere have disrupted the global nitrogen cycle.
Pollinator deficits, food consumption, and consequences for human health: A modeling study
Background: Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients and protect against noncommunicable disease.
Agricultural R&D investments and development goals in sub-Saharan Africa: Assessing prioritisation of value chains in Senegal
We look at the prioritisation of agricultural value chains (VCs) for the allocation of R&D resources that maximise development outcomes (poverty, growth, jobs and diets) in Senegal.
Agricultural R&D investments and development goals in sub Saharan Africa: Assessing prioritisation of value chains in Senegal
We look at the prioritisation of agricultural value chains (VCs) for the allocation of R&D resources that maximise development outcomes (poverty, growth, jobs and diets) in Senegal.
Nepal has a long history of irrigation, including government and farmer-managed irrigation systems that are labor- and skill-intensive. Widespread male migration has important effects on Nepalese society.
Institutional structures can fundamentally shape opportunities for adaptive governance of water resources at multiple ecological and societal scales. The properties of adaptive governance have been widely examined in the literature.
Long-term projections of food production and demand
Systematic modeling of food demand and supply began in the 1990s with initiatives from IFPRI - International Food Policy Research Institute - and other global organizations.
Multi-scale governance and data for sustainable development
Future societal systems will be characterized by heterogeneous human behaviors and data-driven collective action.
This paper provides estimates of the global investment gap in agricultural research and development (R&D) and innovation.
A novel seasonal-spatial integrated model for improving the economic-environmental performance of crop production
Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.
Multidimensional impacts from international agricultural research: Implications for research priorities
Investors in international agricultural research seek sustainable agri-food technologies that can potentially serve multiple objectives, including economic growth, food security, and sustainable use of natural resources.
Ensuring resilient food systems and sustainable healthy diets for all requires much higher water use, however, water resources are finite, geographically dispersed, volatile under climate change, and required for other vital functions including ec
Exploring the association between agricultural production systems and household diets in Viet Nam
The government of Viet Nam promotes an integrated and diversified production system that focuses on the symbiotic relationship of livestock, aquaculture, and fruits and vegetables (F&V), locally known as Vuon Ao Chuong (VAC).
