چکیده

s in Conference Proceedings: See Annex 1 Invited Presentations/ Abstracts/ Publications Gender and nutrition sensitization workshop The workshop (reported earlier) which was attended by 120 stakeholders (farmers, male and female, HEWs, Das, and policy/decision makers) provided a number of lessons learned and recommendations for considering gender more carefully when designing, implementing and monitoring this CIFSRF agriculture-nutrition and food security project involving farmers’ participation. Findings from the impact evaluation (Tewodros, 2013) supported this recommendation. The study found that although much effort in gender empowerment and mainstreaming needs further work. The lessons learned will help to stare future practice of the project. 4.2. Objective 2: Evaluate the micronutrient and phytate levels in commonly consumed Ethiopian dishes and develop intervention mechanisms, which include using biofortification to improve food security at household level. The micronutrient levels of pulse flours were subjected to various food processing and preparation techniques (roasting, boiling, soaking, fermentation and germination) to improve nutrient bioavailability. Measures of community consumer acceptability and sensory analysis were also completed.

Effect of fertilizer management and the application of zeolite on agronomic traits and grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids under deficit irrigation conditions

Drought stress is considered as the most important limiting factor for growing of crops such as maize. Under low irrigation conditions, proper nutrition of plants can improve the effects of drought stress. This experiment was carried out in order to investigate the effect of nutrition management along with application of zeolite on agronomic traits of two hybrids of maize under deficit irrigati...

Improving Phosphorus Efficiency in Crops with Focus on Purple Acid Phosphatase: Potentials and Perspective

Low-phosphorus (P) stress as a key factor limiting plant growth and production is common in most agricultural soils. Most of the soil-applied phosphate will be rapidly immobilized and most of annually applied phosphate fertilizers are fixed in the soil in organic forms by adsorption, sedimentation and transformation. However, excess P application may lead to contamination of water sources by en...
