Regional Impacts of Climate Change and the role of Adaptation
Conventional wisdom says that the world is heading for a major water crisis. By 2050, global population will increase from 7 billion to a staggering 9.5 billion and the demands this will place on food and water systems will inevitably push river basins over the edge. The findings from this book ...

Biocontrol using Fusarium oxysporum: a critical component of integrated striga management
Parasitic weeds are major contributors to hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity across sub-Saharan and northern Africa by reducing crop yields in half. Over twenty million hectares of cereal grains in sub-Saharan Africa are infested with Striga (witchweed). Food production losses due to Strig...

Digestibility of rumen undegradable protein from 40 browse species measured by mobile nylon bag and in vitro techniques
Smallholder farming in much of Sub-Saharan Africa is rain-fed and thus exposed to rainfall variability. Among the climate variables, rainfall is projected to decline and have an overriding effect on crop productivity. With little opportunity for supplementary irrigation for the majority of farmer...
