Rikxoort, H. vanJassogne, Laurence T.P.Läderach, PeterAsten, Piet J.A. van[Integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation in East African coffee ecosystems]Integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation in East African coffee ecosystems

Coffee and banana production in Uganda will be affected by climate change. While rainfall quantity might not drastically alter, its distribution is expected to become more erratic. Furthermore, the average temperature is expected to increase by 2 °C in the next few decades. This will affect coffe...


Kangire AAsten, Piet J.A. vanVerhagen JKoomen I[Towards climate smart agriculture: lessons from a coffee × banana case. Experiences from research for policy support in Uganda]Towards climate smart agriculture: lessons from a coffee × banana case. Experiences from research for policy support in Uganda

Recent and current efforts at IITA to assess risks due to the various biotic stresses, arthropod pests and diseases, are presented for different cropping systems. In the case of cassava arthropod pests, the focus is on temperature-mediated interactions between the pest and its natural enemy which...

Taulya GAsten, Piet J.A. vanLeffelaar, P.A.Giller, Ken E.[Drought stress, nitrogen and potassium deficiency effects on dry matter partitioning in East African highland bananas]Drought stress, nitrogen and potassium deficiency effects on dry matter partitioning in East African highland bananas

Although coffee is a promising cash crop, smallholder farmers that grow coffee are still vulnerable. Soil fertility is declining, pest and disease pressure is increasing, populations are rising, and land is continuously fragmented. Above all, climate change is starting to take its toll and puts f...


Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanLäderach, PeterCraparo, S.Wanyama, I.Nibasumba ABielders, Charles L.[Climate-smart perennial systems]Climate-smart perennial systems

Coffee is a major cash crop in Uganda accounting for about 20 30% of foreign exchange earnings. Smallholder farmers whose average farm sizes range from 0.5 to 2.5 ha produce 90% of Uganda s coffee. The livelihoods of these smallholder coffee farmers are very vulnerable and studies have shown that...


Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanLäderach, Peter[Impact of climate change on coffee in Uganda. Lessons from a case study on Arabica coffee in the Rwenzori Mountains]Impact of climate change on coffee in Uganda. Lessons from a case study on Arabica coffee in the Rwenzori Mountains

Coffee and banana are important cash and food crops in Uganda and the surrounding East African highland region. Production is dominated by smallholders that have limited arable land and often coffee and banana are intercropped. No significant research and development efforts have been undertaken ...


Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanWanyama, I.Baret, P.[Perceptions and outlook on intercropping coffee with banana as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda]Perceptions and outlook on intercropping coffee with banana as an opportunity for smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda

Adaptation strategies to reduce smallholder farmers’ vulnerability to climate variability and seasonality are needed given the frequency of extreme weather events predicted to increase during the next decades in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in West Africa. We explored the linkages between sel...

Although drought stress has been identified among the production constraints of East African highland bananas (Musa spp., AAA-EA genome), no quantitative data were available to support this assumption. This study uses data from three on-station fertilizer trials (5 6 cycles) in Central and Southw...


Asten, Piet J.A. vanFermont AMTaulya G[Drought is a major yield loss factor for rainfed East African highland banana]Drought is a major yield loss factor for rainfed East African highland banana

The ‘sustainable intensification’ (SI) approach and ‘climate-smart agriculture’ (CSA) are highly complementary. SI is an essential means of adapting to climate change, also resulting in lower emissions per unit of output. With its emphasis on improving risk management, information flows and local...
