Center for International Forestry Research[Resumen de la estrategia de CIFOR 2008-2018: Marcando la diferencia para bosques y comunidades]Resumen de la estrategia de CIFOR 2008-2018: Marcando la diferencia para bosques y comunidades

The effects of leucaena hedgerows, mulching with leucaena foliage (0.50 and 100 percent of harvested foliage), cowpea intercropping and addition of dairy cattle slurry (55 t ha-1 per maize crop) on the yield of maize from a sandy soil were assessed. The four-year results from five maize crops are...

Most of the population in sub-Saharan Africa depends on agriculture for livelihood, which is mainly practiced by resource-constrained smallholder farmers. Due to persistent low crop yields, food and nutrition insecurity, farmers have been opening new lands through deforestation or encroachment in...

In West Africa, crop-livestock mixed farming is emerging from the currently predominant nomadic pastoralism. It is hypothesized that competitiveness between crop and livestock enterprises may be an important determinant of the pace of this evolution. A field study in the derived savanna of southw...

Background: The call for use of improved Soil Fertility Management (SFM) technologies is a prerequisite to increase agricultural productivity among farmers. This study assessed farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for selected financially rewarding biofertilizer technologies/packages for legume prod...
