Maize and beans are a vital component of human diets and culture in Central America. More than a million smallholder families grow these crops for subsistence, producing 70% of the maize and 100% of the beans consumed locally. Average yields are low, however – 1.5 t/ha for maize and 0.7 t/ha for ...

During the months of April and May 2014, vegetation structure was measured on the 150 selected plots. The altitude and plot boundary coordinates were recorded using Garmin eTrex GPS. Plot size was calculated based on plot boundary coordinates in R Statistics (R Core Team, 2014) using the sp packa...

Liberia is one of the world’s poorest countries. Efforts to rebuild its economy after several years
of internal conflict were partially set back by the 2014–5 Ebola crisis. The country’s lowland
humid climate and land-use history suggest a potential to increase the production of cocoa

Research shows that climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is beneficial in increasing productivity, promoting resilience and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Achieving benefits in all three dimensions is difficult, and so necessary choices among competing investments and objectives must be made.
