V raziskavi, ki smo jo izvedli v okolici Novega mesta, smo se osredotočili na spreminjanje rastlinske pestrosti in razloge za to v obhišnih vrtovih. Poudarek smo dali vrtovom ob hišah na podeželju. Obiskali smo nekaj več kot dvajset vrtov, na podlagi katerih smo ocenili značilnosti le-teh v opazovanem okolju. Natančno smo popisali in fotografirali ...
Degradation of socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs) triggered mainly by the impoverishment of biodiversity and the increasing incidence of climate catastrophes significantly challenges human health and food and nutritional security. Critical concern needs to be placed on ensuring both human and ecosystem health and contributing to nutriti...
Open Access Article; Published online: 18 May 2022 / The largest genetic diversity of plantain banana (Musa AAB subgroup) is found by DRCongo. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are synergistic beneficial organisms with a positive effect on growth vigor. We determined the influence of plantain banana-based agrosystems on the diversity of AMF in agr...
Central Asia is an important center of origin for many globally valued fruit and nut tree species. Forest degradation and deforestation are cause for concern for the conservation of these valuable species. Home gardens have the important function of sustaining household food consumption and income generation, and can play a critical role in conserv...

Domestic gardens provide residents with immediate access to landscape amenities and numerous ecological provisions. These ecological provisions have been proven to be largely determined by greenspace composition and landscape, but the fragmentation and heterogeneity of garden environments present challenges to greenspace mapping. Here, we first dev...
Kitchen gardening is considered a way to reconnect with agriculture and complement the cereal-based relief food offered to refugees in East Africa. This work aimed at profiling mineral content of okra in four refugee camps and settlements located in Ethiopia and Uganda and its contribution to adequate intake (AIs) or recommended dietary allowances ...

Summary: The thermal tolerance of Bicyclus dorothea is habitat-specific with higher CTmax in ecotone populations compared to their forest counterparts, while CTmin was relatively similar across habitats.
Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is the major starch staple of the Ethiopian Highlands, where its unique attributes enhance the food security of approximately 20 million people and have earned it the title “The Tree Against Hunger”. Yet enset‐based agriculture is virtually unknown outside of its narrow zone of cultivation, despite growin...
In the latest phase of this project, the International Potato Center (CIP) works with a range of stakeholders to improve dietary diversity and fight malnutrition by introducing biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato and other selected vegetables (pro Vitamin A maize, grand nuts, and moringa) as key ingredients in the diets of families with young c...
