Research and technology transfer for livestock development
Dissemination or extension of technologies among the farmers is a complex issue. More often than not the scientists, having developed and tested the technologies, are not able to transfer these to the farmers widely. W hy the farmer is not ready to adopt the new technology is an issue that haunts...
The major thrust of the West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) has been on the development of early and extra-early maize varieties and associated agronomic practices. Adoption of these varieties and, to some extent, the complementary agronomic practices by farmers...

In an assessment of the possible benefits to consumers and producers from snap bean research, four different technologies are proposed and their impact analyzed. Benefits are measured by using a welfare analysis and calculating the internal rate of return under different assumptions. The range of...
Animal agriculture can add to agricultural development through income generation, intensification, foreign exchange earnings and non-agricultural development. The primary justification for being concerned with animal agricultural in sub-Saharan Africa at present is the need to increase farmer inc...
