Agronomic and Nutritional Perspectives on Vegetable Crops in Africa

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Vegetable production plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods across Africa. Moreover, African indigenous vegetables emerge as underutilized yet highly valuable crops, rich in macro‐ and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds with an array of health benefits.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Integrated microanatomy and microstructure of the maxillary tooth plate reveal a reinforced feeding system and tougher diet in Late Triassic Hyperodapedontinae (Rhynchosauria, Archosauromorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.
