From Peasant to Peasant: Peasant Education for Agro-Ecological Resistance and Transformation

Revista Brasileira de Educação do Campo, 2020
In this essay we address "peasant to peasant" processes (PCaC) as an inclusive educational and epistemic dispositive where an agroecology of knowledges is articulated for the constitution of the agroecological peasantry and peasant agroecology as a ...

The Hidden Costs of Coffee Production in the Eastern African Value Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households.

Ethnographie de la mise à l’agenda scientifique de l’agroécologie dans un laboratoire de génétique végétale

VertigO
Since the late 2000s, the term “agroecology” has been gaining ground in agronomic research organizations (INRAE, CIRAD), in calls for research projects and in scientific publications. Plant genetics is no exception to this trend, but the appropriation of

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate.

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

IAEA Coordinated Research Project on “A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications”— an overview

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females.
