Impact of climate change on African agriculture: focus on pests and diseases
This presentation starts with a discussion on the need of this study and outlines its framework. It then assesses in detail how to attack poverty, and tries to answer the question where do livestock and their diseases fit in? Then it presents the study design and how it is achieved. It then prese...

Approaches for targeting small farmers: application to fodder technologies and some lessons learned
Climate change science has been discussed and synthesized by the world's best minds at unprecedented scales. Now that the Kyoto Protocol may become a reality, it is time to be realistic about the likelihood of success of mitigation activities. Pastoral lands in the tropics hold tremendous sequest...

Is it possible to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in pastoral ecosystems of the tropics?
We describe the development of an open-source mapping and query utility. The impetus for its development came originally from the need to be able to locate, spatially, target populations of resource-poor livestock keepers in the developing world, and to identify livestock management interventions...
