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....

Variability in maize yield due to differences in soil texture and the effect of water and nitrogen
This paper looks briefly at ecoregional research: what is commonly meant by the term and how it may be carried out. ILRI's involvement in various ecoregional consortia is discussed, together with problems and constraints that have been faced to date. The paper ends by listing a number of issues t...

Multi-actor scenarios to build capacity for food systems governance at the sub-continental level
In this paper we focus on the issue of how climate change affects the way that agricultural systems
and the people that manage and govern them need to change in the next 20 years in order to
achieve food security, and how FAO and CGIAR can support that change. We build on a huge body
of lit...
