Thirty-five years after Farmer First
Thirty-five years ago, the Farmer First movement presented a new paradigm for agricultural R&D, making the case for a more prominent role for farmers in the design, development, and dissemination of agricultural technologies and practices. Since then, a diverse range of projects have been implemented with explicit attention to the engagement and participation of farmers and farmer-based organizations. After nearly four decades, it is worth reflec…
Transforming a traditional commons-based seed system through collaborative networks of farmer seed-cooperatives and public breeding programs
Malian farmers’ traditional system for managing seed of sorghum, an indigenous crop of vital importance for food security and survival, can be conceptualized as a commons. Although this system maintains a wide range of varieties and helps ensure access to seed, its ability to create and widely disseminate new varieties to meet evolving opportunities and challenges is limited. A network of farmer groups, public breeding programs, and development o…
Gender and Trait Preferences for Banana Cultivation and Use in Sub-Saharan Africa
Gender and Trait Preferences for Banana Cultivation and Use in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Literature Review Understanding trait preferences of different actors in the banana value chain may facilitate the selection and adoption of new cultivars. We systematically reviewed the scholarly and gray literature on banana trait preferences, with specific attention to studies that document gender-differentiated traits. Of 44 publications reviewed, only four r…
Farm family effects of adopting improved and hybrid sorghum seed in the Sudan Savanna of West Africa
Uptake of improved sorghum varieties in the Sudan Savanna of West Africa has been limited, despite the economic importance of the crop and long-term investments in sorghum improvement. One reason why is that attaining substantial yield advantages has been difficult in this harsh, heterogeneous growing environment. Release in Mali of the first sorghum hybrids in Sub-Saharan Africa that have been developed primarily from local germplasm has the pot…
