Tropical forest area is disappearing at the rate of 13.5 million ha each year, due mainly to clearing for agriculture and shifting cultivation. Timber harvesting results in more than 5 million ha of tropical forest annually being transformed into degraded, poorly managed, logged-over forests. The...

Evaluation of natural Stylosanthes germplasm leading to the release of 8 commercial cultivars began in South America in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Perceived deficiencies in existing germplasm, including anthracnose susceptibility, led to the initiation of Stylosanthes breeding projects as ea...

Despite the large numbers and importance of adapted indigenous sheep and goats in the tropics, information on sustainable conventional breeding programmes for them is scarce and often unavailable. This paper reviews within-breed selection strategies for indigenous small ruminants in the tropics,...

Idealisation is the process of finding simple representations of the real-world whilst conceptualising a model. There are three ways to limit complication in a model of a complex real-world: by focussing the scope of the modelling process onto a clearly defined issue; by idealising elements of th...

Livestock and crop-livestock systems are usually more complex than single cropping systems and are thus more difficult to "improve". The International Livestock Centre for Africa outlines experiences with systems research in projects in Nigeria and in the Ethiopian highlands.

In this study, the task of evaluating research projects’ relevance and scientific quality is addressed, and a pilot study is executed for five Danish food and agricultural research programmes. Literature reviewed emphasises the importance of context, of consistency and transparency and of the cos...
