Small wetlands increasingly become important agricultural production niches in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the diversity of these households may help to develop guidelines for their future use. In this study a typology of households in small wetlands was developed using case studies of 275 ...

Rural households in semi-arid areas of southern Africa are confronted with numerous hazards that threaten the household food base. The new wildlife policy of establishing transfrontier conservation areas aims to increase conservation of wildlife resources while improving local livelihoods. This p...

Over the past four decades, agricultural systems in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) have largely evolved from a subsistence orientation toward commercial production, but the multi-faceted changes behind this evolution vary in substance and degree. Despite connoting economic progress, effects o...

Increasing agricultural productivity does not often provide a viable route out of poverty or hunger for the poorest households, because their farms tend to be small with low yield potential. These challenges will be amplified as climate change causes shifting patterns of crop suitability and dise...

The extent and implications of under nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa have catalyzed political action and programs on the ground. For example, the United Nations has declared a decade of action (2016-2026) and the Sustainable Development Goals have set ambitious targets to end hunger and undernutr...

It is often assumed that increasing agricultural productivity leads to a better diet. But in fact the relationship is more complex, and gender has an important role in mediating it. There are only a few harmonized datasets available, so the research team built its own tool and used it around the ...
