Characterization of cassava ORANGE proteins and their capability to increase provitamin A carotenoids accumulation
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) biofortification with provitamin A carotenoids is an ongoing process that aims to alleviate vitamin A deficiency.
Advances in remote sensing and machine learning enable increasingly accurate, inexpensive, and timely estimation of poverty and malnutrition indicators to guide development and humanitarian agencies’ programming.
The formation of agricultural cooperatives has been widely promoted as an agricultural development policy initiative to help smallholder farmers cope with multiple production and marketing challenges.
Assessing the use of cell phones to monitor health and nutrition interventions: Evidence from rural Guatemala
In-person (face-to-face) data collection methods offer many advantages but can also be time-consuming and expensive, particularly in areas of difficult access.
The transforming dairy sector in Ethiopia
In the transformation of agri-food systems in developing countries, we usually see rapid changes in the dairy sector. However, good data for understanding patterns and inclusiveness of this transformation are often lacking.
Iron biofortified beans and carotenoid enriched cassava are proposed as a solution to combat iron and vitamin A deficiencies, respectively, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Climate smart agriculture and global food-crop production
Most business-as-usual scenarios for farming under changing climate regimes project that the agriculture sector will be significantly impacted from increased temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns.
Physical losses could partially explain modest carotenoid retention in dried food products from biofortified cassava
Gari, a fermented and dried semolina made from cassava, is one of the most common foods in West Africa.
Analysis of market segments within a population remains critical to agricultural systems and policy processes for targeting new innovations.
Real-time social data collection in rural Bangladesh via a ‘Microtasks for Micropayments’ platform on Android smartphones
The advent of cheap smartphones in rural areas across the globe presents an opportunity to change the mode with which researchers engage hard-to-reach populations.
