Wijk, Mark T. vanHammond, JamesFrelat, RomainFraval, SimonTeufel, NilsTavenner, KatieHenderson, Benjamin B.[Smallholder farmers, food security, and livelihoods: Exploring trade offs and synergies using farm household characterization data]Smallholder farmers, food security, and livelihoods: Exploring trade offs and synergies using farm household characterization data

Livestock provides an important source of income and nourishment for around one billion rural households worldwide. Demand for livestock food products is increasing, especially in developing countries, and there are opportunities to increase production to meet local demand and increase farm incom...


Mayberry, D.Ash, Andrew J.Prestwidge, D.Godde, Cécile M.Henderson, Benjamin B.Duncan, Alan J.Blümmel, MichaelRamana Reddy, Y.Herrero, Mario T.[Yield gap analyses to estimate attainable bovine milk yields and evaluate options to increase production in Ethiopia and India]Yield gap analyses to estimate attainable bovine milk yields and evaluate options to increase production in Ethiopia and India

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...

The mixed crop-livestock systems of the developing world will become increasingly important for meeting the food security challenges of the coming decades. The synergies and trade-offs between food security, adaptation, and mitigation objectives are not well studied, however. Comprehensive evalua...


Thornton, Philip K.Rosenstock, Todd S.Förch, WiebkeLamanna, ChristineBell, PatrickHenderson, Benjamin B.Herrero, Mario T.[A Qualitative Evaluation of CSA Options in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in Developing Countries]A Qualitative Evaluation of CSA Options in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in Developing Countries

In this study we estimate yield gaps for mixed crop–livestock smallholder farmers in seven Sub-Saharan African sites covering six countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Senegal and Burkina Faso). We also assess their potential to increase food production and reduce the GHG emission intensi...


Henderson, Benjamin B.Godde, Cécile M.Medina-Hidalgo, D.Wijk, Mark T. vanSilvestri, SilviaDouxchamps, SabineStephenson, E.Power, B.Rigolot, CyrilleCacho, O.Herrero, Mario T.[Closing system-wide yield gaps to increase food production and mitigate GHGs among mixed crop–livestock smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa]Closing system-wide yield gaps to increase food production and mitigate GHGs among mixed crop–livestock smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa

This study provides estimates of the net GHG mitigation potential of a selected range of management practices in the world’s native and cultivated grazing lands. The Century and Daycent models are used to calculate the changes in soil carbon stocks, soil N2O emissions, and forage removals by rumi...


Henderson, Benjamin B.Gerber, Pierre J.Hilinski, T.E.Falcucci, A.Ojima, D.S.Salvatore, M.Conant, Richard T.[Greenhouse gas mitigation potential of the world’s grazing lands: Modeling soil carbon and nitrogen fluxes of mitigation practices]Greenhouse gas mitigation potential of the world’s grazing lands: Modeling soil carbon and nitrogen fluxes of mitigation practices

The livestock and environment nexus has been the subject of considerable research in the past decade. With a more prosperous and urbanized population projected to grow significantly in the coming decades comes a gargantuan appetite for livestock products. There is growing concern about how to acc...

Macleod, M.J.Vellinga, T.Opio, C.Falcucci, A.Tempio, G.Henderson, Benjamin B.Makkar, H.Mottet, A.Robinson, Timothy P.Steinfeld, H.Gerber, Pierre J.[Invited review: A position on the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM)]Invited review: A position on the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM)

The authors discuss the main climate change impacts on pastoralist societies, including those on rangelands, livestock and other natural resources, and their extended repercussions on food security, incomes and vulnerability. The impacts of climate change on the rangelands of the globe and on the...


Herrero, Mario T.Addison, JaneBedelian, ClaireCarabine, ElizabethHavlík, PetrHenderson, Benjamin B.Steeg, Jeannette van deThornton, Philip K.[Le changement climatique et le pastoralisme : effets, conséquences et adaptation, Cambio climático y pastoreo: efectos directos, repercusiones y adaptación][Climate change and pastoralism: impacts, consequences and adaptation]Climate change and pastoralism: impacts, consequences and adaptation

Smallholder crop–livestock farming systems have an important role to play for food security in Sub-Saharan Africa, but they have to cope with the effects of climate variability and change. In this study, we test the impacts of different interventions in two contrasting mixed farms in Northern Bur...


Rigolot, C.Voil, P. deDouxchamps, SabinePrestwidge, D.Wijk, Mark T. vanThornton, Philip K.Rodríguez, D.Henderson, Benjamin B.Medina, D.Herrero, Mario T.[Interactions between intervention packages, climatic risk, climate change and food security in mixed crop–livestock systems in Burkina Faso]Interactions between intervention packages, climatic risk, climate change and food security in mixed crop–livestock systems in Burkina Faso
