This study modeled the introduction of new early cultivars of millet and cowpea, higher cowpea densities, and various fertilization strategies. Model results were then compared with farmer behaviour before and after the availability of these new technologies. The model correctly identified the tw...

For a long time, farmers in Nyanza and Western provinces in Kenya have had to deal
with the
Striga
problem. To most of them
Striga
had become a way of life and they had
given up hope.
Striga

The extent to which agricultural technologies have had an impact in the humid forest zone remains questionable as adoption levels have been low. The technologies developed emphasized on maintaining soil fertility and crop yields in short fallow systems. This chapter defines the problems and oppor...

Despite population pressure and the urgent need for dairy production to be doubled by 2050, there is still a significant deficit in milk production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Lack of quantity and quality feed is one of the major factors causing unsatisfactory milk yields. This Working Paper ass...

This report examines the new Treaty and its ramifications for the Future Harvest Centres (p. 5). It also covers two of the crucial elements of developing a global system, the costing studies (p. 14) that supply part of the rationale for the Global Crop Diversity Trust, and the launch of the Trust...
Ensuring an adequate food supply in systems that protect environmental quality and conserve natural resources requires productive and resource-efficient cropping systems on existing farmland. Meeting this challenge will be difficult without a robust spatial framework that facilitates rapid evalua...
