Barona, Elizabeth; Guevara, Edward Darío; Hyman, Glenn, 2016, "Characterization data on crops, production systems, abiotic constraints, population and poverty for farming system regions of the world.", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/PLJ4SC, Harvard Dataverse, V3, UNF:6:q4cqpLC1wjReBt3Ej9Nr2A== [fileUNF]
This data set builds on a previous project that examined geographic targeting of agricultural research and development based on the coincidence of biophysical and socioeconomic conditions of drought prone crop production (Hyman et al., 2008). The data characterizes the farming systems of John Dixon’s global farming systems framework and map (Dixon... |

Schroth, Götz; Läderach, Peter; Martinez Valle, Armando; Bunn, Christian; Jassogne, Laurence, 2016, "Replication Data for: Vulnerability to climate change of cocoa in West Africa: Patterns, opportunities and limits to adaptation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/5W7LGW, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We use a combination of a statistical model of climatic suitability (Maxent) and the analysis of individual, potentially limiting climate variables. We find that: 1) contrary to expectation, maximum dry season temperatures are projected to become as or more limiting for cocoa as dry season water availability; 2) to reduce the vulnerability of cocoa... |
Schroth, Götz; Läderach, Peter; Martinez Valle, Armando; Bunn, Christian, 2016, "Replication Data for: From site-level to regional adaptation planning for tropical commodities: cocoa in West Africa", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/1JMXC6, Harvard Dataverse, V1
We discuss here such a regional approach for cocoa in West Africa, where 70 % of global cocoa supply originates. On the basis of a statistical model of relative climatic suitability calibrated on West African cocoa farming areas and average climate projections for the 2030s and 2050s of, respectively, 15 and 19 Global Circulation Models, we divide... |

Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales, 2016, "Raw daily weather records from 7 IDEAM’s stations in Tolima and Meta departments, Colombia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/7SGCCR, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:dgllNJ6fOOnArwLLo4sKYw== [fileUNF]
Weather records from 7 stations of IDEAM located in Tolima and Meta departments in Colombia. Five variables are available at daily scale: precipitation (prec), maximum temperature (tmax), minimum temperature (tmin), relative humidity (rhum), and sun bright (sbright). For units details, please consult variable_codes.txt For localization of the stati... |
Rodríguez de Luque, Jesús José; Creamer, Bernardo, 2015, "Replication Data for: Major constraints and trends for common bean production and commercialization; establishing priorities for future research", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/0ABVEM, Harvard Dataverse, V2
In order to identify the principal constraints and trends for common bean production and commercialization and the priorities for future common bean research in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a priority setting process was developed at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). The results suggested that the principal... |
Twyman, Jennifer; González, Carolina; Muriel, Juliana; Suárez, Stephany; Lopera, Diana C; Labarta, Ricardo, 2015, "Estudio de adopción de variedades de arroz en Perú", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/6YQDMC, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:DAAHDteAmRyRm3b9xzoMlg== [fileUNF]
La Alianza Global para la Investigación en arroz (GRiSP-siglas en inglés), es un programa de investigación del CGIAR que lidera el Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) para América Latina. Con el interés de conocer y evaluar la adopción de variedades de arroz (tecnologías desarrolladas por CIAT en el marco de GRiSP), se iniciaron una... |

Khoury, Colin K; Bjorkman, Anne D; Dempewolf, Hannes; Ramirez Villegas, Julian; Guarino, Luigi; Jarvis, Andy; Rieseberg, Loren H; Struik, Paul C, 2015, "Replication Data for: Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HYOWIC, Harvard Dataverse, V1
The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world’s food supplies has been considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not been quantified globally. We assess trends over the past 50 y in the richness, abundance, and composition of crop species in national food supplies worldwide. Over... |

Millsp.]: Distributions, ex situ conservation status, and potential genetic resources for abiotic stress tolerance", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GU5AJW, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is a versatile, stress-tolerant, and nutritious grain legume, possessing traits of value for enhancing the sustainability of dry sub-tropical and tropical agricultural systems. The use of crop wild relatives (CWR) in pigeonpea breeding has been successful in providing important resistance, quality, and breedin... |

Lam., I. series Batatas]", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/FLXJKU, Harvard Dataverse, V1
Crop wild relatives of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., I. series Batatas] have the potential to contribute to breeding objectives for this important root crop. Uncertainty in regard to species boundaries and their phylogenetic relationships, the limited availability of germplasm with which to perform crosses, and the difficulty of introgres... |
