Fish farming was introduced in Burkina Faso in the 1950s to offset
declining capture fisheries and enhance food security. In Loumbila
commune, aquaculture has recently expanded, but its growth is
constrained by aquatic diseases. Biosecurity, essential for preventing
pathogen introduction and spread, remains poorly implement(...)

“What is the essence of cultivating a crop that does not yield enough to feed my family?” Farmer agency and the management of agrobiodiversity in Ghana and Burkina Faso
Michael Olaitan Ademilola, · Paul Effah,· Viviane Yameogo, · Thomas Daum, · Lilli Scheiterle, · Felix Asante, · Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, · Regina Birner
The preservation of agrobiodiversity is widely regarded as a cornerstone of sustainable agri-food systems, yet dominant narratives often portray crop diversity in smallholder farming as declining under pressures of intensification and market integration. Less attention has been given to how farmers themselves perceive, manage, and actively sha(...)

Background: The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a population suppression strategy that
involves releasing sterile male insects, which mate with wild females, thereby inducing sterility
in the target population. Although SIT represents a promising complementary approach for
malaria vector control, its success depends on identifying an irra(...)
