Five institutions including ILCA/ILRI, collaborated on the joint Vertisol Project (JVP) starting in 1986 for the sustainable use of Vertisol soils in Ethiopia. The improved soil drainage from the use of the broadbed maker (BBM) plough is one component of a technology package, that together with i...

Mapping of poverty and likely zoonoses hotspots
Livestock production systems in Africa are experiencing rapid changes in structure and function due to increased demands for livestock products from a more prosperous and ever-increasing human population. Some of these changes could lead to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. This paper expl...

Systems dynamics and the spatial distribution of methane emissions from African domestic ruminants to 2030
The world’s climate is continuing to change at rates that are projected to be unprecedented in recent human history. Some models are now indicating that the temperature increases to 2100 may be larger than previously estimated in 2001. The impacts of climate change are likely to be considerable i...

Many research and development agencies are committed to halving the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Knowledge of where the poor are, and what characterises them, is patchy at best. Here we describe a global livestock and poverty mapping study designed to assist in targeting re...

Locating poor livestock keepers at the global level for research and development targeting
This study produces a set of maps and tables that locate significant populations of poor livestock keepers and has broadly assessed how poor livestock keeping populations are likely to change over the next 3-5 decades. The outputs of the study are based on innovative analysis using new global dat...

A myriad of agricultural and livestock production systems co-exist in the developing countries. Agricultural research for development should therefore aim at delivering strategies that are well targeted to the heterogeneous landscapes and diverse biophysical and socioeconomic contexts the agricul...
