This study aims to unravel the genetic determinants of specific cassava root crown traits, utilizing 3D modeling for yield-related attributes and root crown morphology. Phenotypic analysis of 130 partially inbred lines and their six parental lines from Thai commercial varieties revealed a range of root traits within populations showcasing robust correlations among various traits, particularly root size parameters and root weight. Genotyping-by-sequencing yielded a total of 29,361 SNP markers identified within the nuclear genome of cassava and shared across all genotypes. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) of these 136 genotypes identified 23 significant SNPs for six out of 11 root crown traits, including 3D root angle, 3D surface area, root number, 3D crown diameter, root weight, and 3D volume. We found one shared significant SNP between 3D crown diameter and root weight, and another shared SNP between root weight and 3D volume. Two closely linked SNPs were identified for 3D volume, root weight, and 3D surface area. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis for each pair of SNP markers indicated the linkage decay point at approximately 60 kb. Based on LD decay and available transcriptome data, candidate gene identification highlighted 29 genes associated with five traits, providing an understanding of the genetic basis of cassava root crown traits. Our findings offer novel insights into cassava storage root traits as well as data for marker development and candidate gene identification.Item Prosperous futures inspired by prosperous pasts: Fostering imagination of radical food system alternatives in Guatemala(Journal Article, 2024-11-23) Rutting, Lucas; Veeger, Marieke; von Breymann, Randolph; Garcia, Ubaldino; Sancir, Norma; Calel, Sandra; Canek, Fredy; Suyuk, Miriam; Vervoort, JoostTransformations imply the need for radical alternatives to current realities. This requires a fundamental reimagination of current systems. Different future-oriented practices specifically designed for the imagination of transformations have emerged in recent years, including the Disruptive Seeds approach (DS). DS focuses on innovative bottom-up initiatives (seeds), that show potential to grow in impact and challenge unsustainable systems, contributing to transformative change. This paper reports on the first time DS was applied in practice, as part of a project focusing on food systems transformation in Guatemala. Working primarily with Indigenous actors representing smallholder communities, DS shows great potential when it comes to emphasizing their perspectives and objectives in the imagination of desired futures. Tapping into marginalized perspectives and sources of knowledge, it can help advance the conceptualization of transformative change that truly contributes to social equity and justice. Moreover, the approach facilitates an inclusive platform for articulating and interrogating power dynamics. Initially developed and tested in Global Northern contexts, the DS approach demonstrates adaptability across diverse contexts, including Indigenous communities in the Global South. Findings underscore the transformative potential of collective imagination rooted in Indigenous worldviews, offering alternatives to unsustainable and unjust realities, challenging dominant narratives and contributing to more just and sustainable futures. More generally, it demonstrates huge potential for imagining transformations, challenging dominant political structures and imaginaries, emphasizing issues of social justice and equity. It shows the value of incorporating the knowledge, perspectives, values and imaginaries of—often marginalized—communities into conversations about sustainability transformations.Item Reporte de validación del sistema de alerta de deforestación de la corporación autónoma regional del Valle del Cauca (CVC) en Colombia(Report, 2024-04-01) Calderon, Oscar Guillermo; Aldana, Oscar EmilioAnexo técnico que presenta hallazgos relacionados con la deforestación en el Valle del Cauca en Colombia.

The project addresses several challenges, including soil erosion, fodder scarcity, and reduced tree cover. Agroforestry systems such as block plantations, silvipasture, and integrated farming were implemented to restore these degraded lands. The collaboration with BAIF, Pune along with CGIAR partners The Alliance Bioversity International-CIAT and International Water Management Institute, carried out this study with focus on the impact of restoration interventions on biodiversity, soil health, and carbon sequestration. A micro-watershed of about 63 hectare was identified in Chicondi village to implement technological interventions. The activities carried out under this project include the successful establishment of three agroforestry models—Fodder, Wadi, and Bamboo—on farmers' fields in Chichondi Village. Species like Mango and Bamboo were identified as priority species for plantation, with fodder scarcity being the most critical issue, as indicated by the constraints ranking. The Wadi system, dominated by Mango and Teak, played a key role in addressing both nutritional needs and environmental security. These systems also contributed significantly to biomass, carbon sequestration, and oxygen production. A comprehensive biodiversity assessment revealed significant variation in species richness and diversity across different land-use systems. The Bamboo system (New) exhibited the highest biodiversity, with a Shannon-Wiener Index of 3.7225 and species richness of 77, while the Agriculture Fallow system had the lowest biodiversity (Shannon-Wiener Index = 2.6469, Species Richness = 19). These findings underscore the importance of habitat-specific conservation strategies to maintain ecosystem health and support biodiversity. Soil properties showed variations in soil parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon content, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels across the systems. Soil pH ranged from 5.09 in the Wadi Control system to 6.51 in the Forest system, while organic carbon content varied from 0.55% in the Wadi Control system to 1.90% in the Forest system. These variations highlight the significant role of different agroforestry systems in improving soil health. Carbon sequestration studies showed that forest systems had the highest carbon stock at 112.9 Mg/ha, followed by agricultural fallow systems at 94.61 Mg/ha and Wadi systems at 75.34 Mg/ha. The Wadi control system, lacking tree cover, had the lowest carbon stock at 46.01 Mg/ha. Wadi agroforestry systems, dominated by Mango and Teak, significantly contributed to carbon sequestration, with 16.60 Mg/ha of carbon stock and 4.32 Mg/ha of CO₂ sequestration. These systems also produced 20.91 Mg/ha of oxygen, with Mango contributing 9.01 Mg/ha and Teak 8.06 Mg/ha. These findings highlight the key role of Wadi (Old) systems in restoring degraded lands, increasing tree cover, and improving carbon sequestration. Therefore, development of Agroforestry systems is vital in restoring ecosystems, boosting biodiversity, and mitigating climate change, while also providing sustainable income opportunities for local communities, ensuring long-term environmental sustainability and resilience.Item Outcome Report.

The Inclusive Digital Tools Project (ATDT) aims to make digital technologies accessible to all, to integrate resilience and climate change mitigation with agroecological objectives and train farmers to develop new practices. It is an initiative of the Agroecological Transitions Program for Building Resilient and Inclusive Agricultural & Food Systems (TRANSITIONS), funded by the European Union through its DeSIRA initiative and managed by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The TRANSITIONS program seeks to support large-scale agroecological transitions through the development and adoption of multidimensional performance indicators for food and agricultural systems, inclusive digital tools, incentives and public and private sector investments for food systems. Solidaridad has been working in the South of Pará, along the Transamazonian highway for over 10 years, supporting rural families in the adoption of better production practices with the objective of boosting family income while reducing carbon emissions and deforestation. As part of the ATDT project, Solidaridad conducted a highly collaborative co-creation process involving over 90 extension staff, farmers, and IT developers that resulted in the development of a mobile application called Solis. Launched publicly in October 2024, this innovative tool replicates social media mechanisms to enable farmers and extensionists to continuously engage in the co-creation of knowledge, providing them with the opportunity to share their own experiences and insights. With a simple and intuitive interface, Solis allows users to publish videos—whether produced by themselves or shared from other social networks—on techniques, experiences, and knowledge related to agricultural production, thereby fostering an interactive environment for the generation and dissemination of local knowledge. As an open application available to any user with the Android operating system, Solis can also be accessed by other stakeholders interested in exchanging knowledge and techniques for more sustainable agricultural production. In this way, Solis serves as a valuable tool for promoting the ongoing exchange of information among small producers, researchers, policymakers, decision-makers, market agents, expand outreach of technical assistance, and support the transition from a traditional bottom-up approach to a more interactive, two-way communication model with farmers. In addition to the development of Solis, the ATDT project also resulted in the publication of a comprehensive training curriculum for sustainable livestock production. This curriculum outlines the methodology for co-creating locally relevant practices with farmers, extension staff, and experts, drawing on insights from its application in the Transamazon region. It includes a detailed overview of Solis, as well as practical guidance on using the platform to disseminate information about sustainable livestock farming practices. Following the launch of Solis and the publication of the curriculum, Solidaridad organized three workshops with key stakeholders in the livestock value chain at the municipal level in Novo Repartimento and at the state level in Pará and Mato Grosso. The workshops aimed to discuss how digital tools can support and accelerate the transition to a sustainable livestock production model, as well as gather suggestions from participants to make the Sustainability Curriculum and the Solis app useful and relevant in their local context. Attendees included representatives from municipal and state environmental and agricultural secretariats, farmer organizations, NGOs, private sector entities, and academic institutions. The objective of this report is to document and share key contributions from these stakeholders, with the hope that this will facilitate the adoption of the curriculum in other regions for the co-creation of relevant sustainable and agroecological practices tailored to the local context, as well as promote the use of Solis as a channel for the dissemination and sharing of knowledge about sustainable practices.Item The design and mechanics of the multilateral system of access and benefit sharing(Book Chapter, 2012) Manzella, DanieleSeventh chapter of the book Crop Genetic Resources as a Global Commons.

The objective of the exchange of experiences was to strengthen the organizational and management capacities of producers and producers' organizations in the territory by providing knowledge and tools to enable the implementation of strategies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. We address the following topics: climate change adaptation and mitigation, participatory innovation, low-emission food systems, project formulation and business plans. Including a gender perspective and permanent reflections on the aspects related to equity were fundamental in the development of the training activities and the exchange of experiences.Item Using tech tools to decide where and what to restore(Presentation, 2024-06-10) KS, Arpitha; Deepthi, R.; Bunyan, MilindDiversity for Restoration (D4R) is a decision support tool, developed by The Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT, to assist in species selection for ecological restoration. Focused on southern India, the tool addresses the challenges of selecting suitable species by integrating climate change projections, site conditions, and community needs. Unlike traditional approaches, D4R uses habitat modelling and a trait-based scoring system to recommend species that align with restoration goals and environmental conditions. The D4R tool offers tree species after matching species to the best fit of the site conditions and restoration objectives. With a species pool of 250 native and exotic species, D4R offers a holistic solution for more effective and sustainable restoration projects.Item Mapeo de recursos orgánicos en el corredor Pucallpa - Aguaytía, Perú(Report, 2024-12) Quiñones, LourdesItem Sustainability, inclusion, and conservation: GANSO and its commitment to livestock farming(Blog, 2024-12-18) Valencia Salazar, SaraGANSO Technical Services, is an organization founded in 2018 by Climate Focus and CIAT's Tropical Forages Program, is pioneering sustainable livestock management in Colombia to meet new environmental, economic, and social demands.

Led by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT as part of CGIAR's research portfolio, this initiative is driving innovation and science to transition food, land, and water systems onto more resilient and sustainable pathways. The BAIF Development Research Foundation being the implementing partner for the initiative is partnering with multiple CGIAR institutes and research partners to develop Nature+ models for transforming the agrifood system. Under the Workpackage 3 Restore of this initiative BAIF has been working with communities for developing community led approach for land restoration. By combining the traditional knowledge of local communities with agroforestry, the NATURE+ initiative is promoting sustainable land use and biodiversity conservation. The Shahada cluster in Nandurbar District of Maharashtra, India is a successful example of this approach, showcasing the potential for community-led initiatives to drive positive change and promote a nature-positive future. Through the establishment of Non-Timber Forest Products nurseries (NTFPs), afforestation on community lands, and the conservation of endemic plant species, this initiative is not only restoring ecological balance but also improving community well-being and promoting sustainable livelihoods. Through a collaborative effort between the community and government agencies, a community-led plantation initiative was successfully implemented, resulting in the planting of 18,200 plants, 6,000 seeds, and 9 species across 19 hectares of land within a 2-year timeframe. This achievement was made possible through the convergence of project initiatives, government schemes and community-led efforts, with the support of local villagers in three villages.Item Género e Inclusión en las Mesas Técnicas Agroclimáticas de Guatemala(Report, 2024-04-01) Castillo Huertas, Ana PatriciaEste documento presenta la información recabada a partir de entrevistas sostenidas con personal técnico de la Asociación Regional Campesina Chortí (ASORECH), la Asociación de Cooperación Regional para el Desarrollo de Occidente (CDRO), la Asociación para el Desarrollo de la Parte Alta de Zacapa (ADIPAZ) y de la Asociación de Organizaciones de los Cuchumatanes (ASOCUCH); participantes en los proyectos implementados por AgriLAC y en las Mesas Técnicas Agroclimáticas (MTA) en Guatemala.
