The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT

Today’s global challenges of poverty, malnutrition, climate change, land degradation, and biodiversity loss call for new research, solutions, innovations, and stronger partnerships that can deliver higher impact. To respond to these challenges, and building on their complementary mandates and long collaboration, Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) have joined forces to create an Alliance.

The Alliance delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives.

To do so, the Alliance works with local, national and multinational partners across Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, and with the public and private sectors. With partners, the Alliance generates evidence and mainstreams innovations in large-scale programmes to create food systems and landscapes that sustain the planet, drive prosperity and nourish people.

Paul, Birthe K.; Nzolega, Beatus; Buyegi, George, 2020, "Feed gap assessment in Tanzania Southern Highlands through Improved Forages And Feeding Strategies Project", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/MU3IAL, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:qUZctho+50oAZLhorgfE6Q== [fileUNF]
Feedgap assessment aims to collect empirical data on feeding quantities and practices in Tanzania. It is standard data collection tool (Excel) has been previously developed for Tanzania, and adjusted after a workshop with TALIRI and CIAT. It is constituted of empirical feed and milk measurements and labour observations, feed sub-sampling, as well a...
Non-responsiveness of crops to fertilizers under some soils in sub-Saharan Africa
Feb 25, 2020
Kihara, Job; Okeyo, Jeremiah; Bolo, Peter; Kinyua, Michael, 2020, "Non-responsiveness of crops to fertilizers under some soils in sub-Saharan Africa", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GXUNAZ, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:iU5IhV2OFjxYzpvvZ9waJA== [fileUNF]
Low productivity of agriculture observed in different parts of sub-Saharan Africa is threatening food security in the region. Decades of production with mostly application of small amounts of inorganic fertilizers (mostly macronutrients) and scarce organic resources in the context of integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) result in nutrient mi...
