Know what drives the adoption of climate-smart agriculture across different scales
The issue of scale is examined in the context of a watershed development policy (WSD) in India. WSD policy goals, by improving the natural resource base, aim to improve the livelihoods of rural communities through increased sustainable production. It has generally been practiced at a micro-level ...

Through time, interactions between physical and biotic factors contribute to emerging landscape patterns. The dynamics among social and cultural groups influence the human-mediated contribution to this process. This paper explores the cultural, historical, and socioeconomic differences among peop...

Recent studies show that carbon
sequestered by trees on agricultural
land is not well accounted for. If it was,
researchers argue in a new study: “Global

The importance of cassava relative to other crops in the cropping system was almost total; cassava was present in 70% of arable fields; maize and beans or peas were each present in 13% of arable fields and all other crops were present in 4%. Cassava was produced mostly for sale, yet it was not as...
