In many African cities urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) plays a major role in creating jobs and contributing to food security. However, many small-scale UPA systems are characterised by excessive nutrient inputs to the livestock unit and poor handling of manure. To assess the impact of impr...

Increasing nutrient use efficiency through improved feeding and manure management in urban and peri-urban livestock units of a West African city: A scenario analysis
Adaptation options that address short-term climate variability are likely to lead to short-term benefits and will help to deal with future changes in climate in smallholder cropping systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this study we combined field experimentation and long-term rainfall analyse...

The systems addressed in this chapter and in the CGIAR Research Program on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics (Humidtropics) broadly include natural systems comprising biophysical, resource and climate realities; social systems made up of people, societies and their institutions; and, what ...
