Farmer management of production risk on degraded lands: the role of wheat variety diversity in the Tigray region, Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of wheat genetic diversity and land degradation on risk and agricultural productivity in less favored production environments of a developing agricultural economy were investigated using a household survey conducted in the highlands of Ethiopia.

1492 and the loss of Amazonian crop genetic resources. II. Crop biogeography at contact
TL;DR: The relationship between probable indigenous human population density and resultant agricultural intensification and crop diversity is used to propose the existence of a mosaic of crop genetic resource concentrations in Amazonia at contact, including two centers of diversity, four outlying minor centers, and five regions of diversity.

TL;DR: Major facets of intergeneric hybridization embracing a taxonomic consideration of genetic diversity within the Triticeae are presented, the exploitation protocols, prebreeding strategies, and some of the outputs from distant hybridization with a major focus on wheat/alien chromosomal exchanges classed as “translocations” such as T1BL.1RS and to a lesser degree the T1AL.

Inequality does Cause Underdevelopment: New evidence
TL;DR: The authors found that high inequality is a large and statistically significant barrier to developing the mechanisms by which prosperity is achieved, such as institutions, redistributive policies, and schooling, by which the literature has argued that a higher middle class share raises per capita income.
