The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

Much of sub-Saharan Africa’s farmland is (still) cultivated with the hand hoe. Mechanisation can help to alleviate food insecurity, but considerable risks are involved. The financing for mechanisation is difficult to access, which is why well-adapted financial solutions need to be designed.
To allow majority of Thai and Indian farmers to enter markets, we recommend increasing awareness about Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), upgrading infrastructure needed for standard adoption, and fostering institutional arrangements that allow large numbers of smallholders to adopt GAP standards.
Rural development is particular, multisectoral and complex. Discussing general trends, policies and development impacts requires a conceptual model that is neither too complicated nor too simplistic, but has a poverty focus. Here, the “Rural Worlds” approach of the OECD is proposed as good start.
