Great 2 weeks in #Congo #Brazzaville, supporting the 'Programme d'Utilisation Durable des Terres' funded by @CAFISecretariat & @AFD_France. Among other things, we collected data to develop an allometric model to estimate #cassava yield non-destructively. @Cirad @AidaDirecteur

🚨#JustPublished "Farm resilience to climatic risk. A review" in @ASD_INRAE with @Cirad and @PPS_Wur More comprehensive assessments are needed to measure farm #resilience, especially for #smallholders. For this, we are proposing 6 guidelines #OpenAccess👉doi.org/10.1007/s13593-024-0…

Increasing our understanding of farm resilience to climatic risks is critical but measuring resilience remains challenging. Our review brings evidence on the impact of resilience attributes on farm performance and resilience to climate-related risks, with a focus on quantitative methods and implications for resilience assessment of smallholder farms. It advocates for more comprehensive studies with the help of six guidelines. Photocredit: Cirad.

A pleasure to be back in #Rwanda, to quickstart new research activities on #cassava-#legume #intercropping. Including three days well spent in the field visiting @oneacrefundRW stations in Kayonza & Karongi, & @CANALLS_Project trials in Kamonyi.
