Cameroon’s land laws do not recognise collective and customary land rights, making Indigenous Peoples particularly vulnerable to expropriation, displacement and human rights violations.

Phosphorus sources for organic agriculture
Many bio-resources, such as digestates and composts, contain P from various organic wastes. Wastewater treatment plants are a major sink for P as well. There are many options under development to recycle P from these waste streams. Some are already permitted in organic agriculture.

Food Outlook – Biannual report on global food markets
FAO's latest forecasts point to favourable production outlooks across most basic foodstuffs. However, global food production systems remain vulnerable to shocks, stemming from extreme weather events, and rising geopolitical tensions and policies, potentially tipping the delicate demand-supply balances, dampening prospects for international trade in food commodities and with implications for...

Emerging Research Methodologies to better Understand “Feminization of Agriculture” dynamics
An increasing body of literature suggests that agriculture is ‘feminizing’ in many low- and middle-income countries. Definitions of the feminization of agriculture vary, as do interpretations of what drives the expansion of women’s roles in agriculture over time. Understanding whether, how, and why the feminization of agriculture is occurring requires...

Nitrogen efficiency of organic fertilisers
In organic fertilisers, the total nitrogen content is not always the best indicator of the amount of nitrogen that is available to the plants. Indicators that estimate how much of the total nitrogen will be available for plants can help plan the nitrogen supply to crops more accurately.

To spray or not to spray: The overuse of pesticides and the alternatives
Though it’s native to the Americas, the fall armyworm – a voracious caterpillar that attacks maize and other cereals, damaging the leaves – has begun wreaking havoc in Africa and Asia. In response, many farmers turn to chemical pesticides, but these can be toxic to humans and the environment. And...

Vibrational signals to control the whitefly in organic greenhouse production
Vibrational plates (Vibro -plates) were built to transmit specific disruptive vibrations to the whiteflies via potted tomato and zucchini plants. The combined use of vibrations and essential oils resulted in a reduction of the whitefly populations. The prototype is versatile and can be custom- ised for different crop systems.

The agricultural transition: Building a sustainable future
New research released today by McKinsey & Company indicates that about 50 percent of the reduction in on-farm agricultural emissions required for a 1.5°C pathway are cost neutral or ROI-positive today. However, major barriers, namely transition financing, investment to reduce costs, behavior change, and additional incentives such as increased carbon prices are...

How diverse are farming systems on the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia? A multi-metric and multi-country assessment
While crop diversification has many benefits and is a stated government objective across the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of South Asia, the complexity of assessment has led to a rather limited understanding on the progress towards, and status of, smallholder crop diversification.
