This study was examined how agricultural diversification using underutilized crops could increase household food security and livelihoods in Ethiopia's GutoGida district. Staple are what raised. Regardless of their nutritional content, productivity production sustainability, the majority farmers plant reliable crops. Farmers still experience insecurity since not productive enough to lower insecurity. Additionally, despite fact that improve quality boost purchasing power, role, productivity, stress tolerance were universally recognized promoted this region. On a sample 120 smallholder farmers, multistage sampling approaches used. Households divided into non-producers producers. The Food consumption score coping strategy index used gauge level security. data analyzed descriptive statistics, simple leaner regression models, ordinary least squares. In comparison at alpha 5%, diversified producers had significantly higher levels crop (22.48%), (11.73%), total annual sale (19.32%), income generation (26.67%). Based on finding, we draw conclusion neglected is practical can greatly economic well-being. survey's overall findings show Ethiopian government current policy should pay attention diversify promoting crops, has change light country's ongoing threat from hunger

This study investigated the variability of agricultural drought severity, as depicted by vegetation indices, and bias in identifying events when considering a stationary vs nonstationary climate reference. The work leveraged gridded data (NCEP CFSv2, CHIRPS 1981–2022), soil properties (OpenLandMap), satellite imagery (Sentinel2/Landsat, 2000–2022), future projections (NEX-GDDP, 2050) together with local knowledge selected farms, to augment monitoring techniques identify potential issues for agriculture. For domain, significant differences were observed comparing characteristics using indexes, biases being not ubiquitous either space or time year. When developing sustainable mitigation adaptation strategies, decision-makers should carefully address this uncertainty avoid possible underestimation magnitude. Results showed increase (∼50%) mid late twenty-first century. Projection highlighted an even more impact (∼80%) wide risk across domain. As was also related organic carbon (SOC), our results suggest that improving SOC content could be strategy enhancing resilience, especially areas commonly characterized low concentrations nutrients. analysis impacts modulated investment irrigation infrastructure efficiency. Researchers land managers apply proposed design historical, current indicators conditions within irrigated regions. By providing spatio-temporal information on patterns their bias, supports priority regions targeted reduction options, including water resources management sustainability criteria, move towards resilient systems.

Abstract In recent years, abiotic stresses, including droughts, floods, high temperatures, and salinity, have become increasingly frequent severe. These stresses significantly hinder crop yields product quality, posing substantial challenges to sustainable agriculture global food security. Simultaneously, the rapidly growing population exacerbates need enhance production under worsening environmental conditions. Consequently, development of effective strategies strengthen resilience plants against water scarcity, extreme conditions is critical for mitigating impacts stress. Plants respond these by reprogramming their transcriptome metabolome. Common developing stress-tolerant include screening germplasm, generating transgenic plants, employing genome editing techniques. Recently, chemical treatment has emerged as a promising approach stress tolerance in crops. This technique involves application exogenous compounds that induce molecular physiological changes, thereby providing protective shield Forward reverse genetic approaches facilitated identification chemicals capable modulating plant responses stresses. priming agents function epigenetic regulators, agonists, or antagonists, playing essential roles regulating stomatal closure conserve water, managing cellular signaling through reactive oxygen species metabolites sustain growth, activating gluconeogenesis metabolism. review summarizes advancements field explores improve productivity, contributing enhancement

Abstract The global demand for providing nutritious, sustainable, and safe diets a 10 billion population by 2050 while preserving affordability, reducing environmental impacts, adapting to climate change will require accelerating the transition sustainable agri‐food systems. A plausible way help tackle these challenges is developing new plant varieties that have improved crop yield, nutritional quality, sustainability (or resilience) traits. However, stakeholders, consumers, citizens' concerns appreciation of future‐proofing crops acceptability breeding strategies are not well‐established. These groups actors in systems, their views, values, needs, expectations crucial helping co‐design fair, ethical, acceptable, socially desirable policies on techniques (NPBTs) In this study, we engaged with consumer experts societal stakeholders consider perceptions, expectations, improving NPBTs Our analysis points need governments take proactive role regulating NPBTs, ensure openness transparency varieties, inform consumers about effects programmes risks benefits developed. Consumer considered necessary instil confidence society accelerate

Abstract The world needs more than double its current agricultural productivity by 2050 to produce enough food and feed, as well provide feedstock for the bioeconomy. These future increases will not only need be sustainable but without comprommising nutritional quality, ideally also decrease greenhouse gas emissions increase carbon sequestration help mitigate consequences of global climate change. challenges could tackled developing integrating new future‐proof crops into our system. H2020 CropBooster‐P project sets out plant‐centered breeding approaches guided a broad socio‐economic societal support. First, potential with sustainably increased yields adapted Europe are identified. crop‐breeding options subsequently prioritized their adoption considered experts across agri‐food system wider public, taking account environmental, economic other technical criteria. In this way, specific research agenda was developed, supported an eventual implementation plan.
