Impact Lite Dataset
Standard methods are needed to collect data to evaluate the performance of agricultural systems. Standardization allows comparisons across systems, and potentially the extrapolation of recommendations to similar development domains. The Integrated Modelling Platform for Mixed Animal Crop Systems ...

Developing generic tools for characterizing agricultural systems for climate and global change studies (IMPACTlite - phase 2). Report to CCAFS
What are the key factors that contribute to household-level food security? What lessons can we learn
from food secure households? What agricultural options and management strategies are likely to benefit female-headed households in particular? This paper addresses these questions using a unique d...

Households and food security: lessons from food secure households in East Africa
Agricultural water management (AWM) strategies have been extensively studied and promoted in Burkina Faso during the past four decades. However, rainfall variability and water access continue to limit agricultural production of most of the smallholder farming systems of the country. Our goals in ...

Taking stock of forty years of agricultural water management interventions in smallholder systems of Burkina Faso
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...

Linking agricultural adaptation strategies, food security and vulnerability: evidence from West Africa
Smallholder crop–livestock farming systems have an important role to play for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they have to cope with the effects of climate variability and change. In this study, we test the impacts of different interventions in two contrasting mixed farms in Northern Bur...
