Achieving climate smart agriculture depends on understanding the links between farming and livelihood practices, other possible adaptation options, and the effects on farm performance, which is conceptualised by farmers as wider than yields. Reliable indicators of farm performance are needed in o...

Nutritional studies of cassava have shown that in high-P acid laterite soils, there was no response to P application during four years of consecutive cropping. In low-P soil, even though cassava initially responded to 100 kg P2O5/ha, the response gradually declined. The optimum economic dose of P...

Improving productivity of sheep and goats (i.e. small ruminants- SR) under smallholder
farming systems faced with challenges of unfavourable climatic events has been identified as
one means of enhancing livelihoods of communities living in these areas. Interventions are
targeted through clusters ...
