Per capita consumption of milk and meat products in developing Asia (including China) grew by 2.4 percent and 5 percent respectively between 1975-79 and 1990-94. This growth can be attributed to high growth rate in income and rapid urbanization. For Latin America, per capita milk and meat consump...

Economic constraints and opportunities for improving small ruminant production systems in sub-Saharan Africa must be understood as the basis for developing interventions. However, most national agricultural research systems (NARS) face a shortage of livestock economists, and biological scientists...

With a limited number of cash cropping areas, sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest level of mechanization including animal-driven implements and use of tractors. In this paper previous research is reviewed to evaluate the economic and ecological constraints to animal draft cultivation. Results of pa...

This paper examines the factors contributing to decline in ownership of various types of livestock and availability and quality of grazing lands in the northern Ethiopian highlands since, 1991. It also examines the factors contributing to changes in utilisation of various feed resources. Increase...

Agricultural intensification involving greater crop-livestock interactions and integration is emerging as the most promising strategy for improving agricultural production and productivity in much of sub-Saharan Africa. In West Africa, where this process is at various stages of evolution, 559 far...

In this paper, we test the hypothesis that land held under varying configurations of property rights will be farmed at different levels of production efficiency. Production data were collected from 477 plots in a fairly productive, mixed farming system in the Ethiopian highlands. Interspatial mea...

Although the question of relative production efficiency of indigenous land rights is central to a discussion of land reform in sub-Saharan Africa, there is relatively little rigorous empirical research because of a lack of adequate disaggregated data with the exception of few studies, the subject...
