Multipurpose trees (MPTs) improve the utilization of poor quality roughages. In addition to their feed value, MPTs contribute to the environment, e.g. by conserving soil. However, some MPTs contain anti-nutritional factors which reduce their nutritive value. Trials in which gas production and rum...

Soil carbon stocks in planted woodlots and Ngitili systems in Shinyanga, Tanzania.
A regional workshop was held in Ethiopia (Eastern Africa) to assess the status, future needs, and methodological issues of soil fertility research for bean cropping systems on the continent. Traditional forms of soil fertility maintenance, diagnosis of soil fertility constraints, nutrient require...

Over the past several decades, DPR Korea has suffered from extensive land degradation leading to the loss of livelihoods causing increased food insecurity. To restore degraded sloping land, the Ministry of Land and Environmental Protection of DPR of Korea (MoLEP), the Swiss Agency for Development...
Discusses the integration of livestock, particularly West African Dwarf sheep & goats & cattle into agro-forestry systems of humid West African zones, describing current management practices & possibilities of grazing in forests, plantations & alley cropping systems so as to overcome constraints ...

This paper considers the economic prospects for reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon storage in the habitable drylands of Africa. Particular attention is paid to the semi-arid and drier sub-humid agro-ecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa. Crop and animal agriculture are the main sour...

Agroforestry systems and tree cover on agricultural land make an important contribution to climate change mitigation, but are not systematically accounted for in either global carbon budgets or national carbon accounting. This paper assesses the role of trees on agricultural land and their signif...

The first part of this paper looks into what agroforestry is; the need for agroforestry and its benefits. Then the paper outlines and discusses the basic systems in agroforestry including simulataneous agroforestry systems; linear agroforestry systems; alley cropping (hedgerow intercropping); seq...
Agroforestry practices and systems for supporting pastoral and agropastoral livestock production in Africa range from the preservation of trees to more intensively planted and managed systems. In the extensive traditional practice of tree conservation, use strategy is geared towards biomass maint...
