This paper generates an extrapolation suitability index (ESI) to guide scaling-out of improved maize varieties and inorganic fertilizers. The best-bet technology packages were selected based on yield gap data from trial sites in Tanzania. A modified extrapolation detection algorithm was used to g...

Accounting for correlation among environmental covariates improves delineation of extrapolation suitability index for agronomic technological packages
Conservation agriculture (CA) is promoted extensively to increase the productivity and environmental sustainability of maize production systems across sub-Saharan Africa and is often listed as a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practice. However, the impacts of CA on food security, resilience/adap...

Science to support climate-smart agricultural development
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being widely promoted as a solution for food insecurity
and climate change adaptation in food systems of sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously
reducing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments throughout Africa are writing
policies and programs to...

Evidence-based opportunities for out-scaling climate-smart agriculture in East Africa
Evidence exists to support CSA programming on the most widely cultivated crops (e.g. maize), and most common agricultural practices (e.g. fertilizer addition) in Tanzania. However, products and places central to rural livelihoods such as livestock, coastal drylands, and humid regions near Lake Vi...

What is the evidence-base for climate-smart agriculture in Tanzania?
Depuis 2009, des milliards de dollars ont été investis dans des programmes d’AIC dans le but d’aider les petits exploitants à augmenter leur productivité tout en s’adaptant aux changements climatiques et en contribuant à les atténuer. Cependant, l’AIC a récemment dépassé les cercles de l’aide au ...
