Global rice production systems face two opposing challenges: the need to increase production to accommodate the world's growing population while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Adaptations to drainage regimes are one of the most promising options for methane mitigation in ...

Agricultural research for development has made important contributions to poverty reduction and food security
over the last 40 years. Nevertheless, it is likely that both the speed of global change and its impacts on natural and
socio-economic systems are being under-estimated. Coupled with the m...

Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. The growing global population is putting pressure on agricultural production systems that aim to secure food production while minimising GHG emissions. In this study, the GHG emissions associated with the production of majo...

Plantain (Musa spp.) is among the most preferred foods in Cameroon,especially in towns and the forest zones. Almost 40% of production is for homeconsumption. Plantain production is an income generating activity for poor farmers,thus constituting an important component of food security in the coun...

Most current approaches to landscape scale ecosystem service assessments rely on detailed secondary data. This type of data is seldom available in regions with high levels of poverty and strong local dependence on provisioning ecosystem services for livelihoods. We develop a method to extrapolate...

Food security and dietary quality are broadly supported development goals, yet few studies have addressed how agricultural subsidy policies and promotion of modern crop varieties impact smallholder farm production and household diet. Crop intensification through subsidies could have indirect impa...

Development partners and public investors assume that spate irrigation reduces household poverty and malnutrition. This article examines whether the poverty profiles of smallholder farmers and the nutritional outcomes of their children have improved as a result of using spate irrigation. The stud...
