Cattle rearing in humid West Africa was nearly impossible in the past owing to the prevalence of trypanosomiasis. However in recent times, with population pressure, jungle clearance, crop cultivation and tsetse control measures, the challenge has been reduced. Consequently there has been an influ...

The Multi-purpose Tree (MPT) species have the ability to fit into the farming systems of the East African region where low agricultural productivity, widespread land degradation and hence a diminishing capacity to support the growing human and livestock population are major problems. GIS has been...

Alley cropping was developed by IITA as a technology to solve soil fertility, erosion and low crop yield. Although crops overwhelmingly dominate the farming system in humid west Africa, livestock, particularly small ruminants, are an integral component of the system accounting for 10-20 percent o...
