Typologies may be used as tools for dealing with farming system heterogeneity. This is achieved by classifying farms into groups that have common characteristics, i.e. farm types, which can support the implementation of a more tailored approach to agricultural development. This article explored p...

Characterising the diversity of smallholder farming systems and their constraints and opportunities for innovation: a case study from the northern region, Ghana
The threat of water scarcity in Sub-Saharan Africa is real, due to the expanding agricultural needs, climate variability and inappropriate land use. Livestock keeping is the fastest growing agricultural sector, partly because of increasing and changing demands for adequate, quality and diverse fo...

Harnessing benefits from improved livestock water productivity in crop-livestock systems of Sub-Saharan Africa: synthesis
Impact studies of catchment management in the developing world rarely include detailed hydrological components. Here, changes in the hydrological response of a 200-ha catchment in north Ethiopia are investigated. The management included various soil and water conservation measures such as the con...
