A review of inclusive business models and their application in aquaculture development
Type: Journal Article
For aquaculture to continue along its current growth trajectory and contribute towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, value chains must become more inclusive. Smallholders and other local value chain actors ...
Untangling Tales of Tropical Sardines: Local Knowledge From Fisheries in Timor-Leste
Type: Journal Article
Tropical sardines (Family Clupeidae) are an important component of many marine fisheries in the Indo-West Pacific region. In Timor-Leste, a small, less-developed country within this region, ‘sardiña’ are some of the more ...
Seed value chain development in the Global South: Key issues and new directions for public breeding programs
Type: Journal Article
Where CGIAR breeding programs rely on the private sector for the multiplication and distribution of improved cultivars, persistent challenges have dampened their impact on varietal adoption and turnover rates. Part of the ...
Optimal contribution selection in highly fecund species with overlapping generations
Type: Journal Article
Optimal contributions approaches to parental selection in closed breeding populations aim to maximize genetic gains, while restraining long-term inbreeding. The adoption of optimal contribution selection (OCS) in highly ...
