Social capital has become a critical issue in agricultural development as it plays an important role in collective action, such as, management of common resources and collective marketing. Whilst literature exists on the role of social capital in the use and adoption of improved agricultural tech...

Despite the potential for local groups to contribute to rural development, it remains questionable whether social capital – as the ‘missing link’ in development – is compatible with the idea of gender equity strived for in ‘gender mainstreamed’ development projects. This paper examines engendered...

Knowledge of soil spatial variability is important in natural resource management, interpolation and soil sampling design, but requires a considerable amount of geo-referenced data. In this study, mid-infrared spectroscopy in combination with spatial analyses tools is being proposed to facilitate...

Biophysical factors affecting maize productivity of small-scale farming system under settlement schemes in North-East Zimbabwe
Due to inadequate feed supplies for livestock production, farmers throughout the tropics and sub-tropics are being encouraged to supplement low quality basal diets with leguminous forage and concentrates. The varying quality (e.g. nitrogen, lignin and polyphenol content) of these diets will influ...
