This paper assesses the potential impact of planting of eucalypt trees as a strategy to reduce poverty in a less-favoured area of the highlands of Ethiopia. Results from simulations with a bio-economic model for a less-favoured case study area in the highlands are combined with survey data at com...

Climate change is expected to impact global food supply and food security by affecting growing conditions for agricultural production. Process-based dynamic growth models are important tools to estimate crop yields based on minimum inputs of climate, soil, crop management, and crop cultivar param...

Maize became increasingly important in the food
security of Ethiopia following the major drought and famine
that occurred in 1984. More than 9 million smallholder house-
holds, more than for any other crop in the country, grow maize
in Ethiopia at present. Ethiopia has doubled its maize produc-
