This discussion paper proposes some strategic directions for CIFOR on the theme of Forests and Water, principally in the context of the CGIAR Global Challenge Program on Water and Food. Within this program, CIFOR may have a comparative research advantage on issues of governance systems; the links...
Crop-livestock systems are very important both in terms of area and contribution to people’s livelihoods in the Ethiopian highlands. However, a common problem in these systems is low livestock and crop productivity, which is partly caused by water scarcity and environmental degradation. As water ...

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the arguments for and against fast-wood platations. It separates fact from fiction, science from speculation, truth from misinformation. Environmentalists have frequently exaggerated the malign impact of fast-wood plantations. At the same time planta...

Participatory research on water and soil conservation, rangeland and livestock management
A model for partnership in community-based watershed management was developed by establishing consortia that bring together institutions from public sector research, civil society and farming communities to share their knowledge in an equitable and efficient manner, and implement multidisciplinar...
Informal groups in Mauritania for water and soil conservation were set up and farmers and technicians were given hands-on training in building small dams, dikes, stone contour ridges, semi-circular bunds, terraces and runoff strips.
The monograph presents studies of over forty years of research on the origin and development of domestic animals of Africa. It discusses the dog, cattle and buffalo of Africa. Each chapter opens with a survey of the wild species from which the domestic may have descended, followed by extensive de...
Cyanobacteria are a cheap source of nitrogen and quite suitable for farmers of developing countries. Although, they live in a diverse range of environments, different environmental variables influence their nitrogen fixing ability. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of pond depth and lining pl...
