With the potential threat of more frequent climate extremes putting semi-arid crop production in jeopardy, there is a need to establish more resilient cropping systems. Intercropping is often practised by farmers in such regions, but to what extent and how can it be a viable option for future con...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted as an approach for reorienting agricultural development under the realities of climate change. Prioritising research-for-development activities is crucial, given the need to utilise scarce resources as effectively as possible. However, no framewo...

One of the strategies for helping smallholder farmers cope with climate variability and change is the provision of climate services that better decision making around the planning and management of agricultural systems. However, providing such services with location specific timely and actionable...

Climate variability and change will have far reaching consequences for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of whom depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Crop modelling can help inform the improvement of agricultural productivity under future climate. This study applies ...

In low rainfall cropping systems, understanding the water balance and in particular the storage of soil water in the rooting zone for use by crops, is considered as critical information for devising risk management strategies for grain-based farming. Crop-soil modelling approaches remain a cost-e...
