Review of Nationally Determined Contributions (NCD) of Colombia from the perspective of food systems

Tek Sapkota (2023, [Documento de trabajo])

Food is a vital component of Colombia's economy. The impact of climate change on agriculture and food security in the country is severe. The effects have resulted in decreased production and in the productivity of agricultural soil. Desertification processes are accelerating and intensifying. Colombia's government formally submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) on December 29, 2020. This paper examines Colombia's NDC from the standpoint of the food system.

Research for development approaches in mixed crop-livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands

Million Gebreyes James Hammond Lulseged Tamene Getachew Agegnehu Rabe Yahaya Anthony Whitbread (2023, [Artículo])

This study presents processes and success stories that emerged from Africa RISING's Research for Development project in the Ethiopian Highlands. The project has tested a combination of participatory tools at multiple levels, with systems thinking and concern for sustainable and diversified livelihoods. Bottom-up approaches guided the selection of technological interventions that could address the priority farming system challenges of the communities, leading to higher uptake levels and increased impact. Joint learning, appropriate technology selection, and the creation of an enabling environment such as the formation of farmer research groups, the establishment of innovation platforms, and capacity development for institutional and technical innovations were key to this study. The study concludes by identifying key lessons that focus more on matching innovations to community needs and geographies, systems orientation/integration of innovations, stepwise approaches to enhance the adoption of innovations, documenting farmers' capacity to modify innovations, building successful partnerships, and facilitating wider scaling of innovations for future implementation of agricultural research for development projects.

Investigation of the impact of Arundo donax in Mexico and evaluation of candidate biological control agents

MARICELA MARTINEZ JIMENEZ (2018, [Documento de trabajo])

The arrival and spread of non-native species into new environments is a serious threat to ecosystems, that is the case of Arundo donax L. (Poaceae Arundinoideae), a perennial grass native to the western Mediterranean to India. Arundo donax was introduced to North America from the Iberian Peninsula within the last 500 years and is now a widespread and invasive weed in the Rio Grande Basin, (the border line between Mexico and the United States) and in almost all the basins in Mexico. This plant is extremely invasive and damaging, affecting especially water supplies. In many parts of Mexico, precipitation and inflows periodically decline and result in a drought, for this reason water conservation programs have to consider the inclusion of control programs of this plant. In Mexico, A. donax is managed by cutting the stems, which is ineffective because of prolific asexual reproduction from an extensive rhizome system, and by using herbicides. However, evidence of serious harm to health and the environment of chemical control indicates that the herbicides are not desirable for it use in shorelines of water bodies where Arundo's infestations are established.
