    Gender, Power and Politics in Agriculture
    (Book, 2025) Njuki, Jemimah; Tufan, H.A.; Polar, Vivian; Campos, Hugo; Morgan-Bell, M.
    This is a open access book. In the agriculture sector, the language of gender integration often ignores the politics and the power dynamics that are central to critical, and feminist, analysis of gender relations. This volume explores largely neglected topics such as power dynamics, masculinities, gendered social norms, feminist research practice, intersectionality, critical analysis of tools and more, that are fundamental to shifting the entrenched power dynamics and politics of gender research in agriculture. The purpose of this book is to reduce the gap existing between theory, methods, and practice of gender relations in agriculture and agricultural research. Through an in-depth analysis of current processes in agriculture and drawing on existing experiences in other sectors, it seeks to create pathways for learning, catalyzing change and positive impact on gender equity and social inclusion. This volume seeks to bring forth a change in how gender relations in agriculture are researched, practiced and taught.

    Morphologic identification of duplicates in collections of Ipomoea batatas
    (Book, 1992) Huaman, Z.
    Duplicates in sweet potato collections are samples of the same cultivar that were collected in different farms of one or more localities. Their presence increases the cost of maintenance of these collections and slow down the process of evaluation for desirable traits for use in breeding. In many countries, there are several collections maintained by · universities, experiment stations or private farmers. When a national sweet potato collection is organized, it is recommended: l. To introduce all those collections in one site to grow them under the same environment. 2. To record some of their key morphologic characters to facilitate their grouping according to similarities in their vine, leaf and storage root characters. 3. To organize a new planting of the collection according to these groupings, and to make more detailed morphological comparisons between those accessions that are morphologically alike. The identification of duplicates in sweet potato collections depends on the degree of accuracy with which the data were obtained during the morphological characterization in the field; on the correct transfer of the data to a file for computer processing; and on a good validation of the data once the accessions of the collection are grouped according to their similarities.

    Resilient, healthy, and sustainable food systems for biodiversity conservation and use 2030 Action Targets: A global collection of good practice cases
    (Book, 2022-12-11) Bioversity International; World Wildlife Fund International; Global Crop Diversity Trust; United Nations Environment Programme
    This guide is a showcase of good practices from around the world that use food systems as a pathway to meet many interconnected biodiversity-related targets in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. Intended for practitioners and policymakers, it does not set out a ‘one size fits all’ approach but rather good practice examples that have the potential to be adapted and scaled in a variety of food systems around the world. The post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to transform society’s relationship with biodiversity, ensuring that by 2050 the shared vision of ‘living in harmony with nature’ is fulfilled. To live in harmony with nature and deliver food and livelihood security to millions of vulnerable people around the world, we must conserve and sustainably use biodiversity in our food systems, and better integrate and align efforts to conserve both agricultural and wild biodiversity rather than pursuing them separately. That today’s unsustainable agricultural practices are both driving and suffering from the effects of climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation is not under dispute. Modern food systems also invest in and rely on just a narrow handful of plant and animal species. This high-risk approach neglects the myriad of species, breeds, and strains of crops, animals, and fish at the heart of our food systems that boost resilience and provide diverse diets that are nutritious, sustainable, affordable, acceptable, safe, and accessible to all. At the same time, wild biodiversity that contributes to healthy ecosystems and ecosystem services that are critical to food production, such as pollination and soil fertility, is also at risk from agriculture, for example, through land conversion. The good news is that there are many good practices from around the world that use and conserve biodiversity to replenish ecosystem health and restore forest systems; deliver inclusive development for rural communities and Indigenous Peoples; increase productivity and resilience to climate change in production systems; help drive consumer shifts toward healthy eating for a healthy planet. You will also find examples of efforts to conserve traditional varieties of crops and associated knowledge that may hold unique genetic keys to adapt our food systems now and in the future. Many of these examples are supported by strong innovative enabling policies, at regional, national, and local levels, that incentivize the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for resilient, healthy, and sustainable food systems. Each section in the guide is mapped to its potential to deliver across Action 2030 Targets as set out in the first draft of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (CBD/WG2020/3/3). It is important to note that using and conserving biodiversity in food systems delivers across many objectives of the CBD Framework simultaneously so this is not intended as a definitive list but rather as a useful overview of ways that sustainable food systems can deliver across many objectives of the framework.

    Global Strategy for the Conservation of Potato
    (Book, 2022) Nagel, M.; Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan; Bissessur, P.; Gavrilenko, T.; Bamberg, J.; Ellis, David; Giovannini, P.
    Cultivated potato, Solanum tuberosum ssp. tuberosum, is the third most consumed crop globally and important not only for food but also for for the animal feed, pharmaceutical, textile and paper industries. To gain an overview on the current state of the conservation and use of potato genetic resources, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (Crop Trust), commissioned an update of the ‘Global conservation strategy for potato genetic resources’. This updated strategy aims to support the efficiency and effectiveness of potato diversity conservation at national, regional and international levels, and to identify priorities for strengthening the conservation and use of potato genetic resources.

    Malawi potato variety catalogue 2021
    (Book, 2022-03) Mwenye, O.; Chiipanthenga, M.; Harry, E.; Kapalasa, E.; Kathabwalika, D.; Mvula, T.; Phiri, P.J.; Chinoko, G.; Chitedze, G.; Masamba, Kingsley; Mbewe, W.; Mtonga, A.; Pamkomera, P.; Chipungu, Felistus P.
    This catalogue is the first for potato varieties registered in Malawi with the Agricultural Technology Clearing Committee (ATCC) of the Department of Agricultural Research Services (DARS) under the Ministry of Agriculture. The catalogue describes potato varieties in terms of use, tuber features, maturity period, yields, and resistance to diseases. A brief description of the growth characteristics has also been provided for each variety. Using the details provided, it is easy to identify each variety to target specific markets. This initiative is aimed at enhancing awareness about the released varieties and helping create the links between seed growers and potato farmers. This catalogue is, therefore, an important reference material for farmers and other market actors.

    T’ikapapa: Linking Urban Consumers and Small Andean Producers with Potato Biodiversity
    (Book, 2007-08) Ordinola, M.; Bernet, T.; Manrique, K.
    Peruvian highlands have a vast potato biodiversity, which is not being exploited adequately and on a sustainable basis. Most varieties of native potatoes are unknown, and although it is not possible to prove their erosion, it is possible to confirm their production stagnation and their latent risk to disappear. The INCOPA Project of the International Potato Center (CIP) is working in this context. Its work is oriented to develop actions to identify and exploit new market opportunities, taking advantage of native potatoes biodiversity and linking producers with other potato market chain actors in a better way. In particular, it seeks to develop and implement participatory mechanisms and shareholder platforms to generate commercial, technological and institutional innovations among different potato chain actors and under a severe demand approach. The idea is to exploit the comparative advantages of Peruvian potato (given by geographical location) and add factors to develop competitive advantages (differentiation and added value of the product). The Participatory Market Chain Approach (PMCA) is the tool being used to achieve this goal oriented to involve all chain actors to generate innovations to improve potato competitiveness. As a result of this work, the T’ikapapa product (meaning Potato Flower in Quechua) has been developed. T’ikapapa is the first commercial brand supporting native potatoes sale under strict quality standards. In this sense, this document summarizes the concepts on the product development presented in the 2005 Business Creativity Award, where it won the first place in the Food Category (this award is promoted by the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences - UPC, El Comercio newspaper, radio station RPP and ATV television network). The jury considered that: “T’ikapapa allows linking urban consumers and Andean producers with potato biodiversity to revalue the culinary heritage, exploiting and preserving the rich versatility of Peruvian potato and generating sustainable businesses for small scale highland producers and committed companies”1. The INCOPA Project is coordinated by the International Potato Center (CIP), funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented jointly with public and private partners in Lima, Huanuco, Puno, Apurimac and Huancavelica.

    T’ikapapa: Vinculando Consumidores Urbanos y Pequeños Productores Andinos con la Biodiversidad de la Papa
    (Book, 2007-05) Ordinola, M.; Bernet, T.; Manrique, K.
    En la sierra peruana existe una amplia biodiversidad de la papa, que no es lo suficientemente aprovechada en términos sostenibles. La mayoría de las variedades de papas nativas son desconocidas, y aunque no es posible evidenciar su erosión, si es posible constatar el estancamiento de la producción y un peligro latente de desaparición. En este contexto, viene trabajando el Proyecto INCOPA del Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), que se orienta a desarrollar acciones que logren identificar y aprovechar nuevas oportunidades de mercado, aprovechando la biodiversidad de las papas nativas y articulando de mejor manera a los productores con otros actores de la cadena productiva de la papa. De manera particular se busca desarrollar y aplicar mecanismos participativos y plataformas de concertación para generar entre los diferentes actores de la cadena de la papa, innovaciones comerciales, innovaciones tecnológicas e innovaciones institucionales, bajo un estricto enfoque de demanda. De lo que se trata es de aprovechar las ventajas comparativas (dadas por la ubicación geográfica) que presenta la papa peruana y agregar factores que desarrollen las ventajas competitivas (diferenciación y valor agregado del producto). La herramienta que se aplica para lograr este objetivo es el denominado Enfoque Participativo de Cadenas Productivas (EPCP), que se orienta a involucrar a todos los actores de la cadena con el fin de generar innovaciones que mejoren la competitividad de la papa. Como resultado de este trabajo se la desarrollado el producto T’ikapapa (en quechua siginifica Flor de Papa), que es la primera marca comercial que respalda la venta de papas nativas con estrictas normas de calidad. En este sentido, el presente documento resume los conceptos que sobre el desarrollo de este producto fueron presentados al Premio Creatividad Empresarial 2005, donde obtuvo el primer puesto en la Categoría Alimentación (esta premiación es promovida por la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas UPC, el diario El Comercio, RPP y ATV). En la opinión del jurado: “T’ikapapa permite vincular consumidores urbanos y productores andinos con la biodiversidad de la papa, como una forma de revalorizar este patrimonio culinario, aprovechando y conservando la rica versatilidad de la papa peruana y generando negocios sostenibles para pequeños productores altoandinos y empresas comprometidas”. El Proyecto INCOPA es coordinado por el Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP) con financiamiento de la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación (COSUDE) y ejecutado en alianza con socios públicos y privados en Lima, Huánuco, Puno, Apurímac y Huancavelica.

    Promoviendo Innovaciones con los Actores de la Cadena y Revalorizar la Biodiversidad de la Papa. El Desarrollo y Aplicación del Enfoque Participativo de Cadenas Productivas (EPCP) en el Perú
    (Book, 2007-05) Ordinola, M.; Bernet, T.; Manrique, K.; Fonseca, C.
    La mejora de la competitividad de la cadena de la papa es un factor clave para el desarrollo del sector; este tema está asociado tanto a mejoras de la productividad como (principalmente) a criterios de calidad. En este sentido, el Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP) a través del Proyecto INCOPA (Promoción de la producción competitiva de la papa peruana para responder a nuevas oportunidades de mercado) viene promoviendo un proceso que busca aprovechar las ventajas comparativas (dadas por la ubicación geográfica) que presenta la papa peruana y agregar factores que desarrollen las ventajas competitivas (diferenciación y valor agregado del producto). Este desarrollo implica una efectiva colaboración entre productores y centros de investigación como el CIP, para acceder a tecnología que responda a las oportunidades de mercado. La implementación de conceptos como el de cadena productiva, ayudan a que esta relación pueda darse de manera más efectiva ya que se aprovechan sinergias entre diferentes actores y se prioriza la demanda (mercado) como el mejor criterio de trabajo. En este contexto, la institución se ha orientado a implementar trabajos concretos entre los diferentes actores, aplicando una metodología participativa denominada EPCP (Enfoque Participativo de Cadenas Productivas). Un punto principal consiste en el enfoque de cadena como un instrumento que permite acercar a los actores claves para facilitar el intercambio de información, la innovación de productos y procesos y la concreción de negocios. Difundir criterios básicos para el aprovechamiento de la biodiversidad es importante, así como el fomento de la participación de los pequeños productores en todo el proceso de investigación y desarrollo de los diferentes productos. En este sentido, el presente documento resume los conceptos que sobre esta metodología de trabajo fueron presentados al Premio Creatividad Empresarial 2004, donde fue considerado finalista en la Categoría Promoción del Desarrollo (esta premiación es promovida por la Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas UPC, el diario El Comercio, RPP y Canal N). En la opinión del jurado: “El EPCP es un instrumento participativo que al reunir a productores organizados, comerciantes, procesadores, chefs, instituciones públicas y organismos de investigación y desarrollo en torno a un objetivo común -modernizar la imagen y agregar valor a la papa peruana- se convierte en una poderosa herramienta para promover innovaciones que revaloran la biodiversidad y contribuyen a mejorar los ingresos de los pequeños productores de las zonas andinas”. El Proyecto INCOPA es coordinado por el Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP) con financiamiento de la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación (COSUDE) y ejecutado en alianza con socios públicos y privados en Lima, Huánuco, Puno, Apurímac, Huancavelica.
