Intermediate technology for increased food and feed production from deep black clay soils in the Ethiopian highlands
Discusses some methodological issues on livestock technology Development in Ethiopia, also stresses that livestock projects that appeared promising were abandoned after project funding ceased because of mainly the inappropriateness of many of the methods used in the design and execution of the pr...

This paper discusses particularly the approach that may need to be followed in cattle milk and meat research in a farming systems perspective. The key characteristics of on-farm research, an integral part of farming systems research, are summarised, and the stages of farming systems research rela...

Outlines an economic evaluation of an improved surface drainage technology, using the broad-bed-maker (BBM) on-farm in four different vertisol areas of the Ethiopian highlands. Presents data on crops and number of areas covered for the on-farm drainage technology, on cost structure of the BBM, an...
