Staal, Steven J.Thornton, Philip K.[Approaches for targeting small farmers: application to fodder technologies and some lessons learned]Approaches for targeting small farmers: application to fodder technologies and some lessons learned

Despite the fact that many smallholder farming systems in developing countries revolve around the interactions of crop and livestock enterprises, the modelling of these systems using combinations of detailed crop and livestock models is comparatively underdeveloped. A wide variety of separate cro...

Herrero, Mario T.Joaquín, N.Y.Peña, R.Lizarraga, H.Ruiz, R.Romney, D.L.Waithaka, M.M.Thornton, Philip K.Hameleers, A.[Development of seasonal nutrition and resource management strategies for smallholder dairy systems]Development of seasonal nutrition and resource management strategies for smallholder dairy systems

The major objectives of this workshop are to sharpen the focus of ILRI's ecoregional research, to further identify commonalities in tools and new methods that can enable ILRI to do effective transregional research, and to identify improvements to the way in which ILRI does ecoregional research. P...

A project proposal whose aim is to promote more appropriate resource management on smallholder crop-livestock farms in East Africa is described. Prototypes of mixed farming systems will be developed to characterise farming systems according to their management objectives. These prototypes will th...

This study uses heteroskedastic Tobit and Censored Least Absolute Deviations models to examine the impacts of dairy cow ownership on selected outcomes for a sample of 184 households in coastal Kenya. The outcomes examined include gross household cash income, gross non-agricultural income, consump...

This study examines the factors influencing adoption of three related dairy technologies in coastal Kenya, and assesse the impacts of dairy adoption on household income, employment generation and nutritional status of pre-school children. The technologies studied were adoption of grade and crossb...
