Identifying target groups for livestock improvement research: the classification of sedentary livestock producers in western Niger

Autor: Williams, Timothy O.

Classification constitutes an essential step in any realistic evaluation of the constraints and opportunities that exist within a farming system. In this study, cluster analysis was used to classify crop-livestock producers in three villages in western Niger into recommendation domains using a co...

Traditional strategies and adaptive resource use by crop-livestock producers in the Sahel

Autor: Williams, Timothy O.

This presentation concerns the key property rights issues arising in the West African Semi-Arid Tropics (WASAT). The WASAT contains three main agro-climatic zones: Sahel (300–600 mm of annual rainfall falling in 2.5–4 months); Sudanian (600–900 mm, 4 to 6 month rainy season); an...

Effective dimensionality and factors affecting crop-livestock integration in West African savannas: A combination of principal component analysis and Tobit approaches

Autor: Manyong, Victor M. Okike, I. Williams, Timothy O.

Crop-livestock integration (CLI) to improve natural resource management for increased productivity is evolving in Nigeria and West Africa. Processes in the evolution and factors that influence it still need to be well understood. This article proposes and tests a new framework for measuring the m...

Trends and prospects for livestock systems in the semi-arid tropics of sub-Saharan Africa

Autor: Williams, Timothy O. Thornton, Philip K. Fernández Rivera, S.

In semi-arid sub-Saharan Africa as in many dryland areas, livestock are an integral part of the farming systems. Livestock offer opportunities for risk coping, farm diversification and intensification and provide significant livelihood benefits to the poor. The ability of livestock systems to con...

Classification and description of the major farming systems incorporating ruminant livestock in West Africa

Autor: Fernández Rivera, S. Okike, I. Manyong, Victor M. Williams, Timothy O. Kruska, R.L. Tarawali, Shirley A.

A classification of the major ruminant livestock production systems in West Africa is proposed. The proposed typology has two major classes of systems-sole livestock and crop-livestock. The sole livestock class has two systems (rangeland-based and landless) and the crop-livestock class has three ...
