Management of Vertisols in sub-Saharan Africa. Proceedings of a conference
In Montane Southeast Asia, deforestation and unsuitable combinations of crops and agricultural practices degrade soils at an unprecedented rate. Typically, smallholder farmers gain income from “available” land by replacing fallow or secondary forest by perennial crops. We aimed to understand how ...
The growing population and the increasing food demand in sub-Saharan Africa require comprehensive land use intensification. Land scarcity and soil degradation are some consequences that necessitate enhanced land use management by using remote sensing data. This study presents the analyses of aeri...

Land provides a host of ecosystem services, of which the provisioning services are often considered paramount. As the demand for agricultural products multiplies, other ecosystem services are being degraded or lost entirely. Finding a sustainable trade-off between food production and one or more ...

Inadequate feed and nutrition are major constraints to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. National and international research agencies, including the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), have developed several feed production and utilisation technologies. However, adoption ...

Adapting aquifer storage and recovery technology to the flood-prone areas of northern Ghana for dry-season irrigation
Expansion of crop production into high-altitude native grasslands is occurring in the Peruvian High-Andes due to climate change and agricultural intensification, with little understanding of the consequences to the ecosystem. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of land-use cha...
