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 application of cat...

Combining soil fertilization, cropping systems and improved varieties to minimize climate risks on farming productivity in northern region of Burkina Faso
Background: The most limiting factors for sustainable maize production in smallholder farming systems of subSaharan
Africa, especially the savanna agro-ecological zone, are erratic rainfall pattern and low soil fertility.
Methods: Research was conducted with smallholder farmers in 2013 and 2014 i...

Climate information is recognized as a powerful tool to reduce the effect of climate
risk and uncertainty on crop production and increase the resilience and the adaptive capacity of
farmers in semi-arid zones. This paper estimates farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for climate
information within c...

Greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer usage in sub-Saharan Africa are currently low due to low application rates of nitrogen fertilizers. As African countries begin to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement, there is an opportunity to improve crop productivi...

Climate change impacts on agriculture have become evident, and threaten the achievement of global food security. On the other hand, the agricultural sector itself is a cause of climate change, and if actions are not taken, the sector might impede the achievement of global climate goals. Science-p...
