I defended my 'Habilitation to Direct #Research' (the highest #academic #degree in France) yesterday. Thank you to those who attended in person or online, & to my jury: L. Alletto, L. Vang Rasmussen, M. Valeix, J. Wery, N. Andrieu, B. Gérard, & P. Tittonell.

Our study - led by Joao Silva - calls for careful consideration of location & #crop type in efforts to address #soil acidity in sub-Saharan #Africa.

Our study led by @jcairns77 demonstrates that participatory #maize breeding trials in #Zimbabwe takes the diversity of smallholders into account, & highlights differences btw #women-headed households

De retour d'une fantastique semaine au #Cameroun. Au programme: visite de terrain à Ntui, soutien aux #étudiants en stage et formation #rstats. Merci à @HermineMahot et son équipe de l' @IRADCameroun & à Amelie d'Anfray & les collègues du bureau régional du @CIRAD pour l'accueil.

Our study led by @EleanorMagwaza demonstrates the potential of identifying practices used by positive deviants to improve the performance of #crop-#livestock systems in #Zimbabwe.

Earlier this week: training on #yield gap analysis of @oneacrefundRW & @RwandaAgriBoard staff in Karongi #Rwanda.
(acknowledging @jvasco323 who taught me most of what I know on the subject).
🚨📢 #JustPublished by @Cirad @UZimbabwe et al.
Our study led by @IllianaKwenda reveals that the benefits of #maize-cowpea #intercropping are maintained in conditions of high #water & #nitrogen stress in semi-arid #Zimbabwe.

Intense week spent in #FrenchGuiana visiting #farmers, interviewing them & collecting samples to better understand the #cassava witches' broom #disease, an emerging disease in the region, through a project led by @Cirad & funded by @Agri_Gouv.
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.

🚨#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

ALT 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.

Can mechanisation transform rural livelihoods?
Research through an #ACIAR-funded project in 🇿🇼 reveals that equitable mechanisation translate to:
📈 income
📈 land/labour ratios
📈 market access
✅post-harvest and irrigation equipment use

We applied a quantile regression framework to understand what drives #mechanization by smallholders in #Zimbabwe and how it affects different #farm types.

📢📢 HOTP: (1) What drives mechanization use among smallholders?
(2) How do the effects of mechanization use vary across farm categories?
We address these in a new paper in @_Food_Policy w @FBaudron & @jvasco323 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

The GAIA conducted an in-depth investigation into the the processes and interactions in acid soil, developed a workflow and an essential policy tool integrated into the Ethiopian National Soil Information System (NSIS). @Sieg_SAS @jvasco323 @FBaudron @luckywinner1 @rahel1208

Amazing that the government of #Ethiopia will now be using analytics developed by the project to guide investments in #acidsoil remediation nationally! Proud to have led this project when it started & to now witness such an impact. Congratulations to the team! – at Harare, Zimbabwe

Despite the prevalence of #acidsoils in #Rwanda, lime application by smallholders on staple crops (#maize & #bean) is not profitable without #subsidies.

Do co-designed #agroecological #farming practices in the #AgroecologyInitiative hold their promise of stable agronomic performance? The #agronomy assessment under way at @BiovIntCIAT_eng with @IITA_CGIAR @Cirad @CIFOR_ICRAF in #Kenya with @CSHEPKENYA and @DNRC2023 gives answers.
