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...

The role of the broadbed maker plough in Ethiopian farming systems: an ex post impact assessment study
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...

Maize as food, feed and fertiliser in intensifying crop-livestock systems in East and Southern Africa: an ex ante impact assessment of technology interventions to improve smallholder welfare
The research reported here has the potential for contributing to a real improvement in the livelihoods of mixed crop-livestock farming households in the dry savannah zone of West Africa through widespread uptake of improved dual-purpose cowpea (IDPC). This technology offers opportunities for the ...
