Pham, T.T.Le, N.D.Vu, T.P.Nguyen, H.T.Nguyen, V.T.[Forest land allocation and payments for forest environmental services in four northwestern provinces of Vietnam: From policy to practice]Forest land allocation and payments for forest environmental services in four northwestern provinces of Vietnam: From policy to practice

In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline data that impede the design of site-appropriate recommended management practi...

Traoré, K.Zemadim, Birhanu[Improving crop-livestock productivity and household income through the use of contour bunding and agroforestry options]Improving crop-livestock productivity and household income through the use of contour bunding and agroforestry options

Land use change in rural areas often result from the decision-making of individual farming households.It is a complex process that operates at different temporal and spatial scales through the interactions between diverse drivers. Main drivers of wetland conversion for agricultural production in ...


Sakane, N.Wijk, Mark T. vanLangensiepen, M.Becker, M.[A quantitative model for understanding and exploring land use decisions by smallholder agrowetland households in rural areas of East Africa]A quantitative model for understanding and exploring land use decisions by smallholder agrowetland households in rural areas of East Africa
Snyder, Katherine A.Ludi, EvaCullen, BethTucker, JosephineZeleke, Alemayehu BDuncan, Alan J.[Participation and performance: decentralised planning and implementation in Ethiopia]Participation and performance: decentralised planning and implementation in Ethiopia

Smallholder irrigation expansion would signi cantly increase agricultural production, and reduce food insecurity and poverty levels in East Africa. This paper reviews literature on trends, constraints and opportunities of smallholder irrigation in four East African countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tan...


Nakawuka, ProssieLangan, S.Schmitter, PetraBarron, Jennie[A review of trends, constraints and opportunities of smallholder irrigation in East Africa]A review of trends, constraints and opportunities of smallholder irrigation in East Africa

Healthy soils play a critical role in supporting agricultural productivity, climate change mitigation and resilience, and a range of ecosystem services. Degraded and poorly responsive soils cover large areas of Africa and represent the majority of poor farmers’ fields in certain regions. While th...


Zhang, WeiWalker, DominicHernandez, Carlos CalvoElias, MarlèneMeinzen-Dick, Ruth S.Nkonya, Ephraim M.[Gendered opportunities for improving soil health: A conceptual framework to help set the research agenda]Gendered opportunities for improving soil health: A conceptual framework to help set the research agenda

Soil erosion supplies large quantities of sediments to rivers of Southeastern Asia. It reduces soil fertility of agro-ecosystems located on hillslopes, and it degrades, downstream, water resource quality and leads to the siltation of reservoirs. An increase in the surface area covered with commer...


Ribolzi, OlivierEvrard, O.Huon, S.Rouw, Anneke deSilvera, N.Latsachack, K.O.Soulileuth, B.Lefevre, I.Pierret, A.Lacombe, GuillaumeSengtaheuanghoung, OlothValentin, Christian[From shifting cultivation to teak plantation: effect on overland flow and sediment yield in a montane tropical catchment]From shifting cultivation to teak plantation: effect on overland flow and sediment yield in a montane tropical catchment

flow and the benefits derived from both built and natural infrastructure. The results provide initial perspectives not just on the monetary values of a number of ecosystem services (and how they change as flows vary and are altered by large dams) but also, importantly, aspects of equity and socia...


McCartney, Matthew P.Foudi, S.Muthuwatta, LalSood, AdityaSimons, G.Hunink, J.Vercruysse, K.Omuombo, C.[Quantifying the services of natural and built infrastructure in the context of climate change: the case of the Tana River Basin, Kenya]Quantifying the services of natural and built infrastructure in the context of climate change: the case of the Tana River Basin, Kenya

Adapting to climate risks is central to the goal of increasing food security and enhancing resilience of farming systems in East Africa. We examined farmers’ attitudes and assessed determinants of adaptation using data from a random sample of 500 households in Borana, Ethiopia, Nyando, Kenya, Hoi...
