Assessing trade‐off risk between crop production and vertebrate biodiversity in three African countries

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Governments worldwide are committed to eliminating hunger and conserving biodiversity, reflected in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 15 (Life on Land). Expanding agricultural lands to meet growing food demands often threatens biodiversity, creating potential trade‐offs between these objectives. To understand the

Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...

A Novel Large-Particle Slow-Release Fertilizer Improves Nutrient Use Efficiency and Yield of Cassava by Boundary Layer Limitation

Agronomy
Cassava is a crucial food and economic crop in tropical regions globally. In response to challenges in fertilizer use efficiency for cassava cultivation, which is traditionally compromised by extensive leaching and broad root zone distribution, a novel ...

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
