Pathways for sustainable intensification and diversification of cocoa agroforestry landscapes in Cameroon
IITA developed alley cropping (also called hedgerow intercropping by ICRAF) in the mid 1970s to alleviate the problems of reduced soil fertility, reduced yields and soil erosion that were associated with population growth and reduced fallow periods. In the early 1980s this technology was adapted ...

This study evaluated the performance of tree legumes and other soil fertility management innovations
used by farmers. The objectives of the study were to: examine the extent that farm attributes, typology of
farmers and field management practices have affected the adaptation and use of agroforest...

On-farm assessment of legume fallows and other soil fertility management options used by smallholder farmers in Southern Malawi
Planted fallow systems under slash and mulch management were compared with natural fallow systems at two farms (BM1 and BM2) in the Colombian Andes. The BM1 site was relatively more fertile than the BM2 site. Planted fallow systems evaluated included Calliandra calothyrsus CIAT 20400 (CAL), Ind...

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...

Why Promote Improved Fallows as a Climate-Smart Agroforestry Technology in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Persistent food insecurity accompanied by low and declining farm household incomes are a common feature of many small holder maize and bean producers in western Kenya. This has been largely attributed to soil nutrient depletion, among other factors. One way of addressing soil fertility problems i...
