Thorne, Peter J.Thornton, Philip K.Kruska, R.L.Reynolds, L.Waddington, S.R.[Maize as food, feed and fertiliser in intensifying crop-livestock systems in East and Southern Africa: an ex ante impact assessment of technology interventions to improve smallholder welfare]Maize as food, feed and fertiliser in intensifying crop-livestock systems in East and Southern Africa: an ex ante impact assessment of technology interventions to improve smallholder welfare

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 ...


Jones, Peter G.Thornton, Philip K.[Spatial modeling of risk in natural resource management]Spatial modeling of risk in natural resource management

The WISE3.1 database provides a homogenized set of primary profiles soil data relevant for a wide range of environmental studies including assessments of crop production. Soil texture is frequently measured to estimate characteristics related to water holding parameters and plant available water....


Chaves, B.Hoogenboom, GerritThornton, Philip K.[Variability in maize yield due to differences in soil texture and the effect of water and nitrogen]Variability in maize yield due to differences in soil texture and the effect of water and nitrogen

The impacts of climate change on agriculture may add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty. We show the possible impacts on maize production in Africa and Latin America to 2055, using high-resolution methods to generate characteristic daily wea...


Jones, Peter G.Thornton, Philip K.[The potential impacts of climate change on maize production in Africa and Latin America in 2055]The potential impacts of climate change on maize production in Africa and Latin America in 2055

There is general consensus that the impacts of climate change on agriculture will add significantly to the development challenges of ensuring food security and reducing poverty, particularly in Africa. While these changes will influence agriculture at a broad scale, regional or country-level asse...

An analysis of the effects of climate change on 22 critical agricultural commodities and three important natural resources in the developing world reveals a number of cross-cutting themes: The world’s agricultural systems face an uphill struggle in feeding a projected nine to ten billion people b...
