Herrero, Mario T.Suttle, N.F.McKlean, K.[Nematode infections can cause Sodium deficiency in Finnish Landrace lambs]Nematode infections can cause Sodium deficiency in Finnish Landrace lambs

In communal areas of NE Zimbabwe, feed resources are collectively managed, with herds grazing on grasslands during the rainy season and mainly on crop residues during the dry season, which creates interactions between farmers and competition for organic resources. Addition of crop residues or ani...


Rufino, Mariana C.Dury, J.Tittonell, Pablo A.Wijk, Mark T. vanHerrero, Mario T.Zingore, ShamieMapfumo, PaulGiller, Ken E.[Competing use of organic resources, village-level interactions between farm types and climate variability in a communal area of NE Zimbabwe]Competing use of organic resources, village-level interactions between farm types and climate variability in a communal area of NE Zimbabwe

Research and practice are increasingly demonstrating the environmental benefits of pastoralism and the opportunity for sustainable development of pastoral communities through a combination of livestock and biodiversity-related business. To take full advantage of the potential biodiversity-pastora...


Notenbaert, An Maria OmerDavies, J.Leeuw, Jan deSaid, Mohammed YahyaHerrero, Mario T.Manzano, P.Waithaka, M.M.Aboud, A.A.O.Omondi, S.[Policies in support of pastoralism and biodiversity in the heterogeneous drylands of East Africa]Policies in support of pastoralism and biodiversity in the heterogeneous drylands of East Africa

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 ...

Tarawali, Shirley A.Mude, Andrew G.Leeuw, Jan deHerrero, Mario T.Silvestri, SilviaMacMillan, Susan[Options for enhancing resilience in pastoral systems]Options for enhancing resilience in pastoral systems

Lack of accurate maps on the extent of global cropland, and particularly the spatial distribution of major crop types, hampers policy and strategic investment and could potentially impede efforts to improve food security in an environment characterized by continued market volatility and a changin...

Livestock provide many benefits to society, but at the same time, they generate considerable pressure on land, water and biomass resources and are responsible for 18 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. The total demand for livestock products may almost double by 2050, mostly in the develop...

The livestock sector accounts for 30% of global land area and is a major driver of land use change (Geist and Lambin 2002). Steinfeld et al (2006) calculated that deforestation due to the expansion of pasture and feed crops was responsible for 8% of total anthropogenic Co2 emissions. In addition,...

The focus of the great majority of climate change impact studies is on changes in mean climate. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability. By concentrating on changes in climate means, the full impacts of climate change on biological and h...

100-year Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) are used almost universally to compare emissions of greenhouse gases in national inventories and reduction targets. GWPs have been criticised on several grounds, but little work has been done to determine global mitigation costs under alternative physics-...
