Vanlauwe, BernardBarrios, E.Robinson, Timothy P.Asten, Piet J.A. vanZingore, ShamieGerard, Bruno G.[System productivity and natural resource integrity in smallholder farming: Friends or foes?]System productivity and natural resource integrity in smallholder farming: Friends or foes?

This article presents the results of a methodology based on an extensive sociological fieldwork in three different sites settled along a gradient of aridity in Nigerien Sahel. This fieldwork led to build a set of rules for the behaviour of individuals in non-pastoralist villages. We implemented t...

Conservation agriculture (CA)—the simultaneous application of minimum soil disturbance, crop residue retention, and crop diversification—is a key approach to address declining soil fertility and the adverse effects of climate change in southern Africa. Applying the three defining principles of CA...

We tested the often reported hypothesis that the dispersion of farmers’ fields around the village territory helps mitigate agro-climatic risk by increasing yield stability from year to year. We also wished to evalu...
