Dickens, Chris[Ecosystem services mapping as a framework for integrated resource management]Ecosystem services mapping as a framework for integrated resource management

A project proposal whose aim is to promote more appropriate resource management on smallholder crop-livestock farms in East Africa is described. Prototypes of mixed farming systems will be developed to characterise farming systems according to their management objectives. These prototypes will th...


Booltink, H.W.G.Thornton, Philip K.[System prototyping and simulation modelling in mixed farming systems]System prototyping and simulation modelling in mixed farming systems

Livestock are an important component of farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. They are raised mainly for meat, milk and skin and provide a flexible financial reserve in years of crop failure. They also play a critical role in the agricultural intensification process by providing draft power and ...

Ethiopia has a well-established Plant Genetic Resources Centre in recognition of the importance of conserving plant biodiversity. The same has not been done for animal biodiversity, although the country maintains large and diverse livestock resources. Recently the Ethiopian Agricultural Organizat...

Reasons for the accelerating loss of animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity include indiscriminate crossbreeding, breed substitution, natural disasters and civil strife. The mechanisms through which these factors impact AnGR diversity are identified together with indigenous AnGR management prac...

Integrated natural resource management (INRM) is considered in the context of evolving crop-livestock systems in West Africa and recent Developments in approaches for INRM research. The major crop-livestock systems, ranging from extensive grazing, through integrated crop-livestock farming to inte...


Tarawali, Shirley A.Keatinge, J.D.H.Powell, J.M.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Lyasse, O.Sanginga, Nteranya[Integrated natural resource management in West African crop-livestock systems]Integrated natural resource management in West African crop-livestock systems

High population growth and consequent pressure for food is driving agriculture towards greater intensification in West Africa. However, due to inadequate use/availability of farm manure and fertilisers, there is a continuous decline in soil fertility and overall crop productivity. This trend must...


Singh, B.B.Larbi, AsamoahTabo, RamadjitaDixon, Alfred G.O.[Trends in development of crop varieties for improved crop-livestock systems in West Africa]Trends in development of crop varieties for improved crop-livestock systems in West Africa

This paper addresses issues related to the roles and actions that the different partners in livestock research and Development can take to increase co-operation, ensure more effective technology transfer and increase impact. The focus is on Africa, because this region, while not being unique in f...
