Around the world farmers have been buoyed by CGIAR-supported innovations that tap into natural cycles to achieve a more robust, sustainable cycle of production and supply
Degradation of uplands destroys their ability to store water – but it can be quickly reversed, according to researchers who brought a rainwater harvesting system back to life in central India.
As humanity looks to nature for answers to climate and development woes, wetlands are often heralded as a green panacea. What is needed is not uncritical adulation, but much greater scientific understanding.
Decision dashboards are poised to bridge the gap between data and policy, with consolidated and accessible information systems enabling evidence-based decision-making.
Improved sanitation is booming, but when the majority of new toilets connect to pits and septic tanks, where does it all go from there? A WLE study offers answers from across India.
Researchers point out that it's time for the conversation on the WEF nexus to be channeled into effective researcher-practitioner partnerships, for actual implementation and real benefits.
A comprehensive approach to monitoring soil health, implemented by ICRAF with support from WLE, combines physical and chemical analyses with above-ground indicators like tree and shrub biodiversity. Its application across vast landscapes is transforming rehabilitation efforts worldwide.
Across West African countries, breaches of free trade regulations are still being reported — an issue posed to drivers transporting food, who have little alternative than to buy their way out.
