Private investments in modern food storage: An economic feasibility analysis for private investments in modern food storage and potential public sector roles in promoting such investments

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Unprecedented growth in rice production in Bangladesh over the last four decades has outpaced the capacity of post-harvest operations, resulting in substantial grain losses. While production technology has changed dramatically over time, there has been relatively little private investment in transforming storage capacity in the country. This paper explores the lack of widespread private investment in improved grain storage and examines the potential for public support to stimulate greater private sector investment in modern storage. We calculate the returns to investment in bulk grain silos and hermetic cocoons that could upgrade warehouse storage, and calculate the grain loss that conversion to those technologies would prevent. We then assess the public support that would be required to trigger private investment in modern storage systems. Our analysis shows that storage in jute bags in warehouses or homes outperforms the modern technologies in terms of financial returns at observed prices. Our analysis further shows that given the observed price changes during the harvest and post-harvest periods from 2008 to 2018, cocoon and silo storage as well as conventional warehouse storage were unprofitable in most years and on average overall. Although seasonal variation in market prices for paddy is sometimes pronounced, the pattern of the variation is not sufficiently large or consistent to make paddy storage reliably profitable. Conventional warehouse storage implied an average loss of BDT 2,877/MT/season over the 20 seasons considered. Use of modern storage methods would have implied average losses of BDT 3,200/MT/season to BDT 4,950/MT/season, depending on technology used. These results imply that a public sector co-investment on the order of BDT 300/MT would be required to trigger a shift from conventional to modern storage by traders or millers. This shift would imply a reduction in grain loss of 30kg to 80kg per MT stored for a public cost of BDT 3.75 to BDT 10.00 per kilogram of loss avoided. To make it profitable for intermediaries to provide commercial storage services to farmers who currently store on-farm would require a much larger co-investment of about BDT 3,200/MT stored, implying BDT 40 to BDT 106 per kilogram of loss avoided. Removal of import tariffs on storage technologies or realization of a price premium for silo-stored or hermetically stored grain could be sufficient to encourage millers to adopt modern storage, but would be inadequate to trigger increased off-farm storage as an independent activity. There is anecdotal evidence of a price premium for paddy that has been stored using improved technology. Existence of such a premium could significantly reduce public support needed to trigger private investment in improved storage.

Participatory Scenario Planning (PSP) workshops - facilitated by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, in collaboration with the International Livestock Research Institute - were conducted in nine counties in Kenya during the release of the national forecast for March, April, and May (MAM) rains by the Kenya Meteorological Department. The objective was to address climate challenges by integrating meteorological insights with local knowledge, convening stakeholders for collaborative discussions, and developing tailored advisories. These efforts aimed to translate high-level climate data into actionable strategies for communities, fostering climate resilience.

School meals are evolving: Has the evidence kept up?

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
School meal programs are popular social programs. They are provided to 61 percent of primary students in high-income countries but to a smaller share of students in less wealthy countries. There is a body of evidence documenting their contribution to education, health and nutrition, and social protection. But in each domain, program objectives have evolved: schooling is recognized to be more about learning than grades obtained; nutrition goals include healthy diets that reduce risks of non-communicable diseases and are more environmentally responsible; social protection programs aim to respond to acute crises and address chronic poverty. In addition to assisting in these sectors, school meal programs are tasked with creating food systems that assist smallholder farmers, an endeavor that has yet to be extensively studied. This review examines the latest evidence on these evolving dimensions of school meal programs. Findings suggest that while there is a strong evidence base for school meals, there are also specific gaps in the evidence of effectiveness and a particular lack of clarity around costs. The country-led School Meals Coalition, developed in response to COVID pandemic-related school closures, has brought new momentum to national programs and new urgency for reliable evidence on effectiveness and costs.

Addressing feed gap using resilient forage-based feed options and densification: A perspective from Tunisia with wider applicability

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
In the face of animal feed insecurities, the present
perspective focuses on Tunisia and explores the
potential of locally available materials - such as,
forages and by-products - to increase quality feed
supply in the country. Forage production from a mix of
forage species (triticale, oats, fenugreek, and vetch) in
different proportions to pellet production using a mix
of grains of maize, barley and soybean and locally
available feed ingredients such as date palm
byproducts, grain brans, tomato plant, saline-tolerant
local alfalfa, among others are being increasingly used
by small and medium farmers. Business models
through public-private partnerships that include feed
densification technologies like pelletization provide a
novel solution to spatially configure feed supply in the
north and demand sink in southern Tunisia where
agroecological conditions are arid. With appropriate
and effective policy and enabling environment, these
adaptive strategies that build local resilience have
applicability in Tunisia and beyond.

Assessing public-private partnerships for small ruminant flock health service delivery in Ethiopia

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
In Ethiopia, animal health services face several challenges, including limited access to veterinary supplies, inadequate infrastructure and resource constraints, which negatively impact livestock health and farmers’ livelihoods. To address these issues, public-private partnership (PPP) models have been introduced, leveraging both public and private sector resources to provide more accessible and efficient animal health services. Since 2022, the CGIAR Initiative on Sustainable Animal Productivity (SAPLING) has piloted a PPP model in two communities, focusing on preventive health services and training and advisory services for small ruminant farmers to showcase its potential in improving veterinary services. The intervention design concentrated on these services as entry points to demonstrate the potential of PPP arrangements to provide extended animal health services beyond the pilot test. The pilot test has a limited focus on preventive health services for small ruminants, service discounts for participating households, negotiated service prices, and training and advisory services. It was anticipated that this pilot testing of the PPP arrangement would lead to sufficient demands from farmers and private service providers for ongoing, expanded service partnerships across various livestock species, transitioning to a full-cost, sustainable model.

Training of health workers and traditional leaders on maternal and child nutrition and optimal practices for inclusion of animal-source foods in healthy diets in Uganda

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
An exploratory study conducted by the CGIAR’s Sustainable Animal Productivity for Livelihoods, Nutrition and Gender inclusion (SAPLING) work package 2 in March–April 2023 in Masaka, Mukono and Wakiso districts in Uganda showed nutrition knowledge gaps for both men and women livestock farmers. Results also revealed socio-cultural norms based on beliefs that hinder consumption of some animal-source foods (ASFs) for some members of the society, particularly children and women. For instance, some cultures hinder consumption of ASFs such as eggs, pork and certain types of fish for pregnant women. SAPLING in collaboration with stakeholders co-designed a social behaviour change communication (SBCC) intervention that goes beyond the provision of nutrition education to improve nutrition knowledge but also focuses on addressing norms to demystify consumption of ASFs by children and women of childbearing age. The intervention was implemented by health workers, specifically the village health teams (VHTs) through a cluster-randomized controlled trial design with three study arms in Mukono and Masaka districts as follows:

1. T0 - One third of the clusters (villages) were randomly assigned to receive nutrition information provided only to women using adapted Ministry of Health's Maternal Infant and Young Children Adolescent Nutrition (MIYCAN) counselling cards.
2. T0+T1: - One third of the clusters were randomly assigned to receive nutrition information provided to both men and women using MIYCAN counselling cards.
3. T0+T1+T2: The remaining one third of the clusters were randomly assigned to receive nutrition information provided to both men and women using MIYCAN cards and a gender transformative intervention targeting men and women to address social norms associated with consumption of livestock derived foods particularly for women and children.

Health workers and traditional leaders selected to implement the SBCC interventions were trained to deliver the interventions for the specific study arms. They were trained in maternal and child nutrition and optimal practices for inclusion of animal-source foods in healthy diets, as well as social norms messaging to demystify consumption of ASFs by women and children.

The future of fruit and vegetables in Benin’s food system: visioning alternative scenarios toward 2060

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Fruits and vegetables (F&V) share health benefits due to common phytochemicals (e.g., phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids), vitamins (e.g., vitamin C, folate, pro-vitamin A), minerals (e.g., potassium, calcium, magnesium) and fibers (Kalmpourtzidou et al, 2020). According to World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) guidelines (2003), the recommended consumption of fruits and vegetables is at least 400 g/day (WHO & FAO, 2003). Unfortunately, F&V intake is far below this recommendation, and the situation is alarming, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (CGIAR, 2021). Poor diets are a primary cause of malnutrition and the leading cause of non-communicable disease (NCD) worldwide. Improving diets, including  F&V intake, could save one in five lives annually. However, the extent and nature of the problem are poorly understood due to insufficient dietary data, particularly in LMICs. Increasing F&V intake will require starting with consumers, understanding dietary patterns, and addressing desirability, accessibility, affordability, and availability barriers through cost-effective solutions using the end-to-end approach. Solutions to the intractable problem of low F&V intake must be multifaceted and interconnected, requiring a holistic end-to-end approach such as the approach undertaken by the FRESH Initiative. This report describes the results of expert and stakeholder consultations held from 4 to 8 March 2024, organized by the CGIAR Research Initiative on Fruit and Vegetables for Sustainable Healthy Diets (FRESH). The exercise aimed to explore the future role of fruits and vegetables in Benin's food system. These crops are critically important to healthy diets and generate income to value chain actors. It is, therefore, important to understand which trends and uncertainties may shape the future food system and what actors can do to steer developments in the desired direction. In this report, the approach to such foresight analysis is explained, as well as the current state of fruits and vegetables in Benin's food system. Alternative futures are explored regarding their consequences and options for anticipatory policy and stakeholder engagement.

This policy brief synthesizes five years (2018–2022) of experience in implementing climate-smart agriculture (CSA) interventions across Southeast Asia. The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR), with funding from the International Development Research Center (IDRC) Canada, collaborated with farmers, local authorities, civil society actors, and national agencies to support villages in Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines that are vulnerable to climate change impacts. The findings and recommendations from this work are documented in 22 knowledge products, forming the basis of this brief.

In the Philippines, IIRR also partnered with the Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA) Program, under the Systems-Wide Climate Change Office (SWCO) of the Department of Agriculture (DA), to enhance climate change adaptation efforts in Guinayangan, Quezon, and Ivisan, Capiz.

Effects of a partial ban on Papua New Guinea’s imports of poultry products

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
In 2023, Papua New Guinea introduced a partial ban on poultry imports from Australia and Asian countries (representing about 70 percent of total PNG poultry imports) in response to the biosecurity threat posed by Avian Influenza (bird flu). Such a restriction on supply has the potential to lead to sharp price increases, steep reductions in household consumption and greater food insecurity.

This memo presents an overview of PNG’s poultry sector and describes an analysis of the ef fects of these trade restrictions on poultry prices, production and consumption using a partial equilibrium model of PNG’s poultry sector. This new analysis builds on earlier work (Dorosh and Schmidt, 2023) that explored the implications of a total ban on poultry imports, by simulating the impacts of a partial poultry ban, including the effects on various household groups within PNG.

Changes in soil organic matter and physical properties after short-medium-and long term under two tillage systems

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
The future of resource sustainability in Mediterranean soils appears to be threatened due to inferior soil management techniques. In Morocco, the irregularity of the climate along with the adoption of conventional tillage (CT) may contribute over time to a decrease in soil fertility through the depletion of organic matter (OM), which negatively affects the soil properties. However, the no-tillage (NT) system that has been proposed as sustainable in several research studies can be a reliable solution to this situation. This work aims to promote innovative no-tillage systems that can fill the sustainability gaps left by conventional tillage while keeping the soil healthier. Reducing soil disturbance by implementing no-tillage practices was found to enhance most of studied soil properties. Such findings are important to improve and share the knowledge of how this new system will allow for better soil conservation.

A process evaluation of a home garden intervention

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Background: Most reviews of nutrition‑sensitive programs assess the evidence base for nutrition outcomes with‑out considering how programs were delivered. Process evaluations can fill this void by exploring how or why impacts were or were not achieved. This mid‑term process evaluation examines a home garden intervention implemented in a large‑scale, livelihoods improvement program in Odisha, India. The objectives are to understand whether the intervention was operating as planned (fidelity), investigate potential pathways to achieve greater impact, and provide insights to help design future home garden programs.
Methodology: Data collection and analysis for this theory‑driven process evaluation are based on a program impact pathway that shows the flow of inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. Quantitative and qualitative data from focus group discussions, semi‑structured interviews, and a Process Net‑Mapping exercise with beneficiaries, frontline workers, and program management staff.
Results: Despite a mismatch between the design and implementation (low fidelity), the process evaluation identified positive outputs, outcomes, and impacts on home garden production, consumption, income, health and nutritional outcomes, and women’s empowerment. Flexibility led to greater positive outcomes on nutrition, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices and easy‑to‑understand nutrition models, and the likelihood of the intervention being sustained after the program ends.
Conclusions: To help food systems in rural settings reduce food insecurity by utilizing more sustainable agricultural practices, we recommend that home garden interventions include instruction on easy‑to‑understand nutrition models and on how to make natural fertilizer. Finding local solutions like home gardens to help address critical supply issues and food insecurity is paramount.

Analysis of factors influencing market participation among orange-fleshed sweet potato smallholder farmers in southern region of Malawi: A case of RTC project

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Agricultural markets remain major issue downgrading root and tuber crop farmers who form the mainstream of the agricultural producers in Malawi. Recent evidence however reveals that orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) (Ipomea batatas) is currently being sold in produce markets along with the non-orange varieties, sometimes in differentiated form in Malawi. The main objective of this study was to examine factors affecting market participation of sweet potato farmers in southern region of Malawi. Using a double-hurdle model, this paper analyzed both the factors affecting farmer decision to participate and the extent/intensity of participation in market. The first tier of the double hurdle focused on decision to participate in the market using probit model and the second tier addressed factors affecting intensity of participation using truncated normal regression model. The paper used data collected from 360 farmers in southern districts of Malawi. Out of 360, 146 farmers had grown OFSP in the season preceding the survey. Double hurdle results indicate that farm size, output, age of a farmer (household head), and early maturing trait significantly determined decision to participate in the market. Further, results on intensity of participation indicate that access to market training, farm size, asset value, and output positively determined the intensity and negatively determined by distance to main market and gender of a farmer (household head). Based on the research findings, higher output levels and early maturing trait were found to increase smallholder farmer market participation. It is therefore recommended that strategies aimed at increasing household capacity to produce surplus produce through market tailored extension messages and productivity enhancement technologies could be highly effective in fostering smallholders' participation in commercial markets. Again, enhanced capacity building of research institutions to breed sweet potato varieties based on market demand is pivotal for increased market participation. Furthermore, research suggests that improving smallholder farmers' access to market price information, asset value, and farm size can help increase their intensity in the market. Therefore, it is critical for policymakers to holistically comprehend these socioeconomic factors in order to address the issue of smallholder farm households' decisions about market participation and the degree to which they participate.

Attributes such as the nutritional quality of pastures are characteristics that can be used to select better pastures and thus obtain a greater amount of meat and milk from livestock feed. However, the laboratory analytical method by which it is calculated is not cost effective in trials with a large number of plants, so developing methods that allow extensive evaluation and precise and non-destructive selection of nutritionally promising genotypes is a need. From 2011 to 2019, samples of Urochloa humidicola (Rendle) Morrone & Zuloaga from the breeding program have been harvested to collect near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy data at the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT . This data set comprises a total of 1012 samples, where each sample includes absorbance data from 400 to 2498 nanometers (nm), with step intervals of 2 nm, thus presenting only the pair values of the spectrum for a total of 1050 absorbance data for each sample. In addition, it includes wet chemistry data from, 995 samples analyzed for neutral

Methodology: The grasses from which the samples were taken for this data set come from field trials of the U.humidicola breeding program of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT in different locations in Colombia, to evaluate the performance of these grasses in different environments and climatic conditions. The samples were collected using a 50 by 50 cm quadrant in plots of 1m x 1 m, with 4-6 wk regrowth after cutting. The sampled tissue was dried in an air force Memmert UF750 PLUS ( GmH + Co. KG ) oven at 60°C for 72 h, ground using a Retsch SM 100 cutting laboratory mill (Retsch GmbH) with 1-mm sieve size, packed in plastic bags and labelled for later use in the chemical and spectral analyses. The chemical analyses were performed at the CIAT forages and animal nutrition quality laboratory. Concentrations of NDF and ADF were measured sequentially, according to operating instructions, using an ANKOM 2000 fiber analyzer (Ankom Technology,2011) and according to the methods of Van Soest and Robertson (1985).
