Module 18: Assessment, monitoring and evaluation
Livestock provide many benefits to society, but at the same time, they generate considerable pressure on land, water and biomass resources and are responsible for 18 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. The total demand for livestock products may almost double by 2050, mostly in the develop...

Future Climate Projections in Africa: Where Are We Headed?
Trade-off analysis has become an increasingly important approach for evaluating system level outcomes of agricultural production and for prioritising and targeting management interventions in multi-functional agricultural landscapes. We review the strengths and weakness of different techniques av...

Methods for environment: productivity trade-off analysis in agricultural systems
A major characteristic of pastoral systems has been their endurance through time (1). The same cannot be said about many other agricultural land-use systems. A considerable literature exists on their evolution, rooted in the location geography developed by von Thu¨ nen in the early nineteenth cen...
