Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phase...


Ocimati, W.Ntamwira, J.Groot, Jeroen C.J.Taulya, G.Tittonell, Pablo A.Dhed’a, B.Asten, Piet J.A. vanVanlauwe, BernardRuhigwa, B.Blomme, Guy[Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands]Banana leaf pruning to facilitate annual legume intercropping as an intensification strategy in the East African highlands

Creating typologies is a way to summarize the large heterogeneity of smallholder farming systems into a few farm types. Various methods exist, commonly using statistical analysis, to create these typologies. We demonstrate that the methodological decisions on data collection, variable selection, ...


Álvarez, S.Timler, Carl J.Michalscheck, M.Paas, W.Descheemaeker, KatrienTittonell, Pablo A.Andersson, Jens A.Groot, Jeroen C.J.[Capturing farm diversity with hypothesis-based typologies: An innovative methodological framework for farming system typology development]Capturing farm diversity with hypothesis-based typologies: An innovative methodological framework for farming system typology development

Typologies are often used to understand and capture smallholder farming system heterogeneity, and may be derived using different approaches and methods. This article aims to compare a quantitative, statistical typology based on a survey dataset and multivariate analysis, with a qualitative partic...

Frazão, JoanaGoede, Ron G.M. deBrussaard, LijbertFaber, Jack H.Groot, Jeroen C.J.Pulleman, Mirjam[Earthworm communities in arable fields and restored field margins, as related to management practices and surrounding landscape diversity]Earthworm communities in arable fields and restored field margins, as related to management practices and surrounding landscape diversity

Livestock productivity in East Africa, and especially in Tanzania, remains persistently low, while greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensities are among the highest worldwide. This mixed methods study aims to explore sustainable livestock intensification options that reduce agro-environmental trade...


Paul, BirtheGroot, Jeroen C.J.Birnholz, Celine A.Nzogela, BeatusNotenbaert, An Maria OmerWoyessa, KassahunSommer, RolfNijbroek, RavicTittonell, Pablo A.[Reducing agro-environmental trade-offs through sustainable livestock intensification across smallholder systems in Northern Tanzania]Reducing agro-environmental trade-offs through sustainable livestock intensification across smallholder systems in Northern Tanzania

Assessing progress towards healthier people, farms and landscapes through nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) requires transdisciplinary methods with robust models and metrics. Farm-household models could facilitate disentangling the complex agriculture-nutrition nexus, by jointly assessing per...


Estrada Carmona, NataliaRaneri, Jessica E.Álvarez, S.Timler, Carl J.Abe Chatterjee, S.Ditzler, L.Kennedy, G.Remans, R.Brouwer, Inge D.Borgonjen-van den Berg, Karin J.Talsma, E.F.Groot, Jeroen C.J.[A model-based exploration of farm-household livelihood and nutrition indicators to guide nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions]A model-based exploration of farm-household livelihood and nutrition indicators to guide nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions

Formal seed systems aim to provide farmers with high-quality planting material that meets evolving demands and cultivation challenges. East African banana (Musa sp.) systems rely strongly on informal seed exchange. For seed system interventions to have a larger and more sustainable impact in such...

Banana production landscapes in the African Great Lakes Region (AGLR) have been under immense pressure from Xanthomonas wilt (XW) disease over the past two decades. XW, first reported on banana in central Uganda and eastern DR Congo in 2001, has since spread to the entire AGLR. XW is currently sp...

This eco-type map presents land units with distinct vegetation and exposure to floods (or droughts) in three villages in the Barotseland, Zambia. The knowledge and eco-types descriptions were collected from participatory mapping and focus group discussions with 77 participants from Mapungu, Lealu...
