Throughout much of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), maize production is characterized by low productivity due to the scarce availability and use of external inputs and recurrent droughts exacerbated by climate variability. Within the integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) framework, there is thus a...

Poverty, low crop and animal productivity and large scale resource degradation are major problems in the agriculture sector in the East African highlands. Among others, integration of forage legumes in cereal based cropping systems has been proposed as a promising strategy to improve the sustaina...

Trypanosomosis, a cattle disease transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a major constraint to increased meat and milk production and rural incomes in mixed crop-livestock systems of more humid areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Trypanosomosis affects roughly 10 million square kilometres in 37 African countr...

Adoption of animal traction in sub-Saharan Africa has historically been slow and stagnant. This is despite considerable efforts by researchers and development planners to introduce the technique among smallholder semi-subsistence farmers in a large number of countries. Based on a simulation model...

The profitability of different wheat production systems in Arsi Zone was investigated by comparing farmers' practices in the 1994 crop season with on-farm demonstrations led by both Sasakawa-Global 2000 and Kulumsa Research Center of the Institute of Agriculture Research. Overall, yields on the d...

Irrigated fodder production can be vitalised as a useful strategy to sustainably intensify subsistence livestock production owned and managed by smallholders and to diversify farm income through linkages to commercial livestock systems. However, uncertainty about the production and market environ...
