De nombreux pays en Afrique ont intégré
l’utilisation des engrais, la gestion de la fertilité
des sols et les intrants agricoles dans leurs
contributions déterminées au niveau national à
l’Accord sur le climat de Paris. Bien
que les engrais azotés (N) contribuent dans une
large mesure aux émissi...

Towards developing scalable climate-smart village models: approach and lessons learnt from pilot research in West Africa
In the literature, a lot is discussed about how agroforestry can achieve the mitigation,
adaptation and productivity goals of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). However, this may be relatively
too broad to assess the trade-offs and synergies of how specific agroforestry technologies or practices
ac...

How does institutional embeddedness shape innovation platforms? A diagnostic study of three districts in the Upper West Region of Ghana
An in vivo digestibility trial was conducted to evaluate the digestibility of six forages. These were selected indigenous browse species and groundnut haulms in Lawra and Jirapa Districts of the Upper West Region of Ghana. Groundnut haulms served as a control due to its known good digestibility i...

Background: In search of options to cope with climate change and variability, a trial combining fertilization and
improved varieties of millet and cowpea (intercropped or as sole crop) was conducted on three sites (Lemnogo,
Tibtenga and Ramdolla) in the northern region of Burkina Faso. The applic...
