Cocoa roadmap summary. The road to sustainable cocoa growing [2022-2032]
(Centro de Cooperación Internacional en Investigación Agrícola para el Desarrollo (CIRAD), 2022)
The coming years will be crucial for the cocoa value chain. The main issue is not just whether we will still be able to eat chocolate,
but how we can support a sector on which between 40 and 50 million people depend ...
Nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as a non-timber forest products for animal feed in the Caquetá province
(Firenze University Press, 2022)
The present work determined the nutritional quality of Piptocoma discolor and Cratylia argentea as non-timber forest products used in animal feed in the Amazonian foothills in Caquetá province - Colombia, where the grasses ...
Rank-based data synthesis of common bean on-farm trials across four Central American countries
(Crop Breeding & Genetics, 2022)
Location-specific information is required to support decision making in crop variety
management, especially under increasingly challenging climate conditions. Data
synthesis can aggregate data from individual trials to ...
Somatic embryogenesis of Arabica coffee in temporary immersion culture: Advances, limitations, and perspectives for mass propagation of selected genotypes
(Plant Science, 2022-10)
Culture in temporary immersion systems (TIS) is a valuable tool for the semiautomation of high frequency somatic embryogenesis of coffee. This system allows the intermittent exposure of explants to liquid medium in cycles ...
Strong floristic distinctiveness across Neotropical successional forests
(Science, 2022)
Forests that regrow naturally on abandoned fields are important for restoring biodiversity and ecosystem services, but can they also preserve the distinct regional tree floras? Using the floristic composition of 1215 early ...
Timber growth, cacao yields, and financial revenues in a long-term experiment of cacao agroforestry systems in northern Honduras
(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022)
We assessed 36 cacao plots made up of 15–35 useful timber shade trees with varying spacing 6 × 9, 9 × 9, 8 × 10, and 10 × 12m. Initially, each plot consisted of three shade components plus cacao. Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca) ...
Agroforestry: A primer. Design and management principles for people and the environment
(Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), 2022)
Is a guide to agroforestry principles and concepts, and how to use them effectively. It develop ‘how-to’ manuals and guides those about agroforestry, forestry, horticulture and social sciences. It support to realize ...
Tree diversity in a tropical agricultural-forest mosaic landscape in Honduras
(Scientific Reports, 2022-11-03)
Biodiversity decline in the tropics requires the implementation of comprehensive landscape management where agricultural systems are necessarily an integral element of biodiversity conservation. This study evaluates the ...
Modeling age and yield dynamics in Coffea arabica pruning systems
(Elsevier, 2022)
The maintenance of rejuvenated, productive plant tissue through regular and frequent pruning is essential to sustain high and stable coffee yields. Different coffee pruning systems have been described by means of well-written ...
Jamaica’s Climate Change Research Agenda
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), 2022)
With the support of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), the first phase of defining a road map for targeted research in Jamaica began in September 2020. During the development process, an effort was made to ...
