The Emissions Gap Report 2013 from the United Nations Environment Programme restates the claim that changing to no-till practices in agriculture, as an alternative to conventional tillage, causes an accumulation of organic carbon in soil, thus mitigating climate change through carbon sequestratio...

Limited potential of no-till agriculture for climate change mitigation
The dynamics of crop genetic diversity need to be assessed to draw up monitoring and conservation priorities. However, few surveys have been conducted in centres of diversity. Sub-Saharan Africa is the centre of origin of sorghum. Most Sahel countries have been faced with major human, environment...

Livestock feed as a component of smallholder systems: Tradeoffs in biomass/crop residues use
Groundnut haulms along with cowpea hay
are major crop residues used for animal fattening in the West African Sahel. In traditional sheep fattening,feeds are always provided ad-hoc and in an unregulated
fashion, which is rather wasteful. As a preliminary study to establish the optimal feeding leve...

Constraints to supply of high quality feed to smallholder livestock producers in Ethiopia - some reflections
Farmers in mixed crop-livestock systems produce about half of the world’s food. In small holdings around the world, livestock are reared mostly on grass, browse, and nonfood biomass from maize, millet, rice, and sorghum crops and in their turn supply manure and traction for future crops. Animals ...
