More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...

Questions as to whether public investment in international agricultural research is a `Good Thing' or not may best be addressed using two arguments: (1) justifications based on whether or not past investments have yielded substantial benefits to societies and the resource-poor; and (2) that futur...

In southwestern Ethiopia, recent chaotic events, changes in land tenure and introduction of tsetse fly [Glossina tachinoides] control have precipitated changes in the use of land and other natural resources. In turn, these changes have initiated shifts in rangeland biodiversity. Unexpectedly, sma...
