Significance We collated a unique dataset covering land use and production data of more than 13,000 smallholder farm households in 93 sites 17 countries across sub-Saharan Africa. The study quantifies the importance off-farm income market conditions differing strongly agroecology derives generally applicable threshold values that determine whether have enough food available to feed their families. These results show there is strong need for multisectoral policy harmonization incentives...
Farmer profit can be increased and air quality improved
The combined populations of China and India were 2.78 billion in 2020, representing 36% the world population (7.75 billion). Wheat is second most important staple grain both India. In 2019, aggregate wheat consumption was 96.4 million ton it 82.5 ton, together more than 35% world's that year. China, 2050, projected will be 1294-1515 million, India, to 14.89-1793 under low high-fertility rate assumptions. A question arises as to, what demand for 2030 2050?Applying Vector Error Correction...
One of the great challenges in agricultural development and sustainable intensification is assurance social equity food security oriented interventions. Development practitioners, researchers, policy makers alike could benefit from prior insight into what interventions or environmental shocks might differentially affect farmers' status, order to move towards more informed equitable development. We examined status livelihood activities 269 smallholder farm households (HHs) Bihar, India....
There is increasing interest in agroecology as a way to move toward more sustainable agriculture and food systems. However, the evidence of agroecology's contribution sustainability remains fragmented because heterogeneous methods data, differing scales timeframes, knowledge gaps. Facing these challenges, 70 representatives agroecology-related organizations worldwide participated development Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE), produce consolidate on multidimensional...
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors and human activities around the World. In this article we present a first attempt to understand immediate impact of sanitary measures taken by governments on farming systems in Central America Mexico (CAM). Through review information generated these initial months (webinars, blogs, electronic publications, media) 44 interviews with key informants across region, have identified main impacts felt different types region. From corporate agricultural...
The milpa system is the basis of traditional agriculture in Mesoamerica. It based on a polyculture maize ( Zea mays L.), bean Phaseolus spp.) and squash Cucurbita associated with great diversity crops wild species. has cultural historical importance but can also be highly productive provide sufficient healthy diets for smallholder farmers. practiced less however, mainly due to socioeconomic changes, lack agronomic knowledge adapted current conditions. To starting point new research, we...
In view of the urgent need to improve agroecosystem sustainability, several efforts have been made evaluate effect alternative strategies on key environmental and socioeconomic variables at farm, community regional levels. Most peasant farmers manage complex diverse agroecosystems, constantly adapt management with multiple aims. A sustainability evaluation framework for systems has applied in over 40 case studies Latin America, from which 15 were analysed, focusing choice indicators,...
Food security is a major challenge in Guatemala, one of the poorest countries world. insecurity concentrated Western Highlands Guatemala (WHG) where indigenous communities have been main victims social, political and economic marginalization. In this study we characterize diversity farming households WHG, identify sources food for different types farm assess their status through simple, yet robust, potential availability indicator. Based on large rich dataset nearly 5000 households, our...
Abstract We present an assessment of the extent, diversity, and nutritional contribution milpa through a quantitative analysis data from survey conducted in 989 small scale farm households Western Highlands Guatemala (WHG). The is traditional agricultural system which maize intercropped with other species, such as common beans, faba squashes or potatoes. Our study shows that more than two-thirds 1,205 plots recorded were under system, great diversity crop combinations. As shown 357 for...
Abstract This paper focuses on sustainability evaluation and, more specifically, it describes and analyses the Indicator-based Framework for Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Systems (MESMIS, its Spanish acronym), ten years after development. framework fulfilled a pioneering role by proposing an integrated interdisciplinary approach to assess peasant NRMS. Results thorough analysis 28 case studies are presented, seek improvement methods. The MESMIS is acceptable wide range systems...
