This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories presented in this report illustrate how improved collaboration among RTB centers is making a real difference. This includes harnessing the potential of genomics to accelerate the development of improved RTB varieties, facilitating collaborative responses to critical crop diseases and improving postharvest options. During its second year, the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) expanded its geographic reach and its network of partners while launching a series of collaborative initiatives aimed at resolving the most serious constraints faced by smallholder farmers growing RTB crops. While this work was initiated within a framework of seven disciplinary themes, RTB started a process to transition from an output-focused research agenda to one based on outcomes and impacts.

Download or read book Root, Tuber and Banana Food System Innovations written by Graham Thiele and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes recent innovations in food systems based on root, tuber and banana crops in developing countries. These innovations respond to many of the challenges facing these vital crops, linked to their vegetative seed and bulky and perishable produce. The innovations create value, food, jobs and new sources of income while improving the wellbeing and quality of life of their users. Women are often key players in the production, processing and marketing of roots, tubers and bananas, so successful innovation needs to consider gender. These crops and their value chains have long been neglected by research and development, hence this book contributes to filling in the gap. The book features many outcomes of the CGIAR Research Program in Roots, Tubers and Banana (RTB), which operated from 2012-21, encompassing many tropical countries, academic and industry partners, multiple crops, and major initiatives. It describes the successful innovation model developed by RTB that brings together diverse partners and organizations, to create value for the end users and to generate positive economic and social outcomes. RTB has accelerated the scaling of innovations to reach many end users cost effectively. Though most of the book's examples and insights are from Africa, they can be applied worldwide. The book will be useful for decision makers designing policies to scale up agricultural solutions, for researchers and extension specialists seeking practical ideas, and for scholars of innovation.

Book excerpt: In 2015, the United Nations decided to establish the goal of achieving “zero hunger” in the world by 2030 through “outcome targets” such as eliminating hunger and improving access to food, ending all forms of malnutrition, promoting sustainable and resilient agriculture, and maintaining genetic diversity in food production. As a result of this decision, strategies are under way in different countries around the world in the form of political, academic, development, and non-governmental organization projects and programs. Five years later, these strategies have certainly generated results that need to be documented and analyzed so as to answer the following questions: what are the progress and success stories in terms of policies, innovations, technologies, and approaches to reach the zero hunger goal? What are the constraints and mitigation strategies? Are we really in a phase of transition towards the zero hunger goal? What new directions do we need to consider to achieve this goal, particularly in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, which affects all sectors of development around the world? Transitioning to Zero Hunger is part of MDPI's new Open Access book series Transitioning to Sustainability. With this series, MDPI pursues environmentally and socially relevant research which contributes to efforts toward a sustainable world. Transitioning to Sustainability aims to add to the conversation about regional and global sustainable development according to the 17 SDGs. The book series is intended to reach beyond disciplinary, even academic boundaries.

Book excerpt: This study of the dioscorea genus or yam, consisting of 600 species, is a synthesis of new information. In this world of famine, the yam must play a leading role in the regions it is grown. Its cultivation may even increase once the problems which this book highlights have been resolved. The text fills a critical gap, summarizing what is known about the yam; it is also significant because it asks many questions, and encourages further experimentation.

Book excerpt: Learn How To Build A Beautiful, Scenic Garden That Can Easily Increase Your Yield Tenfold Using The Same Space As Your Current Farm Occupies Without Using Any Medium By Leveraging The Power of Aeroponics! Have you always desired to practice a different kind of crop cultivation that is ecofriendly, saves on space, labor and time, has massive yields, and most importantly, one that allows you to have FULL control of your farming? Then keep reading... Are you tired of slow plant growth, the many disease control mechanisms you have to employ in ordinary crop cultivation, as well as the high resource input that is required in traditional and most modern methods, including soil-based farming and to some extent, hydroponics? Have you tried all methods of farming but still never hit your production targets, or you're a busy person who hasn't found that one method that is totally hands-off and are ready to discover something that works for you? If you are, then you've come to the right place. You see, having a crop farm that is clean, medium-free, productive, self-sufficient and saves space doesn't have to be difficult, and neither is one that is beautiful (can be used for aesthetic/decoration purposes) and easy to set up. In fact, it's easier than you think. But how exactly is it even possible to grow crops without any medium or soil? How does it work? Where do you start in creating an aeroponics farm? Is it a set and forget system or do you need to maintain it and if so, how do you go about it? How do you set up your aeroponics farm - what are the dos and don'ts? How do you deal with pests and diseases? How do you maximize production on an aeroponics garden? If you have these and other related questions, this book is for you so keep reading! Here's just a tiny fraction of what you'll discover in this book: The basics of aeroponics, including what it is, what it entails and how it works Why it is a better approach than anything you've ever tried before The basis of aeroponics farming, including the science behind it and how plants get nutrients in this system The operation cycle in an aeroponics farm The process of plant growth in the system How to plan your garden How to construct your own Aeroponics system How to light up the system How to prevent pest attack Cloning with hydroponics Potential problems and how to deal with them ...and much, much more! Take a second to imagine how you'd feel once you are finally able to triple your crop production yield with less space, less work and other forms of material input! How would you feel to have a picturesque "air" garden in your home, growing all sorts of plants in "thin air"?
