Speargrass is a serious weed in many farming systems of West Africa. Participatory research and extension approaches were used to promote farmer testing of alternative speargrass management options in yam, cassava and soybean in Nigeria. Treatments were paired plots with a farmers' control and at...

The focus of climate-smart agriculture CSA) research is often on creating technological solutions to climate problems. Yet female and male farmers differ in terms of their vulnerability to climate change and the ways in which they benefit from technical interventions. We believe that targeting wo...

Varietal preference is a carefully weighed balance between consumption and production characteristics. Farmers not only select the high yielding varieties but prefer landraces because of their taste, nutritional value and the ability to grow with fewer inputs. Differences in temperatures, rainfal...

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has three goals—productivity, resilience and mitigation. Rarely are these accounted for in CSA programming or the scientific evidence that supports it. Here, we evaluate the climate smartness of CSA-based agroforestry practices in Tabora and Dodoma, Tanzania using ...

Men and women interact with water resources and landscapes in different ways, and there are frequent criticisms that little research is undertaken across disciplines to address this issue. Biophysical scientists in particular struggle with how to integrate “gendered” water uses into models that a...
