Rapid growth of the human and livestock populations in sub-Saharan Africa is creating unprecedented increases in food and feed demands. These population pressures on a fixed landbases are likely to promote severe competition for resources and drive agriculture progressively towards intensificatio...

Integrated crop-livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: An option or an imperative?
A study was conducted in the humid-forest, forest-savanna, and Guinea savanna zones of West Africa from 1993 to 1999 to examine the effect of managing crop residues from cereal-legume cropping systems for mulch and fodder for sheeIncreasing the proportion of total crop residues produced from a un...

Forage and seed yields of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) are considered to be joint products by crop-livestock farmers, but forage yield and quality are not currently part of selection criteria in groundnut improvement programs in West Africa. Variations in forage and seed yields of 38 late-maturin...
