During the 1990s, a soils database was developed by the International Soil Reference and Information Centre in The Netherlands for the project “World Inventory of Soil Emission Potentials” (WISE). Using this database, we converted 1125 soil profiles from around the world into a format that can be...

Using the WISE database to parameterize soil inputs for crop simulation models
Despite the fact that many smallholder farming systems in developing countries revolve around the interactions of crop and livestock enterprises, the modelling of these systems using combinations of detailed crop and livestock models is comparatively underdeveloped. A wide variety of separate cro...

A project proposal whose aim is to promote more appropriate resource management on smallholder crop-livestock farms in East Africa is described. Prototypes of mixed farming systems will be developed to characterise farming systems according to their management objectives. These prototypes will th...

Making decisions in natural resource management involves an understanding of the risk and uncertainty of the outcomes, such as crop failure or cattle starvation, and of the normal spread of the expected production. Hedging against poor outcomes often means lack of investment and slow adoption of ...
