Measuring sustainable intensification in smallholder agroecosystems: A review
The performance, expansion and contribution of tree lucerne has not reached to its full
potential due to a number of factors. An action on-farm research was conducted with men and women farm households to (a) compare survival and growth of tree lucerne across contrasting sites and growing niches,...
