In developing countries, drought can cripple communities. Its impact is often long-lasting, especially if smallholders have to sell off farming equipment in order to survive the loss of crop income. And in the developed world, drought in a major food-producing region can push up food prices world...

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...

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...
