This is one of a series of documents that summarises information relating to the livestock sector in the three PCSL countries (Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda). Prevailing livestock systems and their baseline performance in Kenya are summarised first, followed by a summary of what is known about the i...

Small wetlands increasingly become important agricultural production niches in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the diversity of these households may help to develop guidelines for their future use. In this study a typology of households in small wetlands was developed using case studies of 275 ...

The extent and implications of under nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa have catalyzed political action and programs on the ground. For example, the United Nations has declared a decade of action (2016-2026) and the Sustainable Development Goals have set ambitious targets to end hunger and undernutr...

Bioenergy crops are often classified (and subsequently regulated) according to species that have been evaluated as environmentally beneficial or detrimental, but in practice, management decisions rather than species per se can determine the overall environmental impact of a bioenergy production s...

In this article, we discuss the ongoing Data Revolution in relation to climate action in agriculture. Data are highly relevant for climate action, as climate change makes current local knowledge increasingly irrelevant and requires smarter management of agricultural systems. We discuss five dat...

Reducing the gap between water-limited potential yield and actual yield in oil palm production systems through intensification is seen as an important option for sustainably increasing palm oil production. Simulation models can play an important role in quantifying water-limited potential yield, ...
