In the farming systems approach to technology development, trials are carried out on a limited number of farmers’ fields. Results of these trials are extrapolated to the entire target area and used either to identify directions for further research or to develop recommendations for farmers. Extra...

This paper describes a research stratery for the inland valleys which are flat-bottomed and vary in size from a few to hundreds of hectares. Most of the valleys are not presently cultivated. Where cultivated, rice is the most important crop grown in the wet season followed usually by a cultivatio...

The Projet Recherche Appliquée en Milieu Réel is situated on the Adja Plateau, Southwest Benin. The project is responsible for a FSR&D programme that aims at sustainable use of the so-calledTerres de barre. Technologies tested in this context include seasonal fallowing, usingMucuna pruriens cv. g...

Understanding the level of adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies and practices and its drivers is needed to spur large-scale uptake of CSA in West Africa. This paper used the Average Treatment Effect framework to derive consistent parametric estimators of the potential adoption...

Many assessments of climate change impacts on global crop yields project declines as early as the 2020s. Losses are projected to increase with time, up to 50% by the 2080s. We carry out a systematic global review and compare published projections of climate change impacts from 34 studies and ∼450...
