We calculated a simple indicator of food availability using data from 93 sites in 17 countries across contrasted agroecologies in sub-
Saharan Africa (>13,000 farm households) and analyzed the drivers of variations in food availability. Crop production was the major source of energy, contributing...

Drivers of household food availability in sub-Saharan Africa based on big data from small farms
To guide soil fertility investment programmes in sub-Saharan Africa, better understanding is needed of the relative importance of soil and crop management factors in determining smallholder crop yields and yield variability. Spatial variability in crop yields within farms is strongly influenced b...

Cotton expansion and biodiversity loss in African savannahs, opportunities and challenges for conservation agriculture : A review paper based on two case studies
Strong gradients of decreasing soil fertility are found with increasing distance from the homestead within smallholder African farms, due to differential resource allocation. As nutrient use efficiency varies strongly along these gradients, such heterogeneity must be considered when designing soi...
