Perceptions of climatic variability among millet farmers: insights from tribal communities in the Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu, South India

Frontiers in Climate
Climate change has a diversified impact on the accessibility to resources and maintaining food security for the growing population. In this era, climate-resilient crops such as millet have greater importance and impact on the food security of the nation.

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Identification and quality characterization of a putative novel 17x + 8y high‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunit recombination in bread wheat

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GSs) are major determinants of dough rheological behavior and bread‐making quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Among wheat genomes, the Glu‐B1 locus exhibits the highest allelic diversity; however, recombination events between x‐ and y‐type HMW‐GS genes are considered extremely

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

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).

Report on proving the health benefits and developing healthful products of small millets (part of objective 3) (annex 2.5 of final technical report)

, 2014
Small millets are the most important species in terms of cropped area and contributions to food security in regions of Africa and Asia. They are also unique due to a short growing season, and can develop from planted seeds to mature, ready to harvest ...
