Providing climate and weather services to help farmers plan production operations (e.g. select varieties, determine planting dates) is an important approach to climate-smart agriculture (CSA). These services refer to a broad set of information and products that help farmers understand the impacts...

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA)
CSA programs aim to help smallholder farmers increase productivity while also building resilience and mitigating climate change. Agroforestry—the integration and use of trees in crop fields, farms and across agricultural landscapes—can support CSA in many ways, including: building resilience by b...

Overview of Integrated Manure Management
Integrated Manure Management is the optimal handling of livestock manure from collection, through storage and treatment up to application (crops and aquaculture). Through this process it is possible to prevent nutrient losses to a large extent under the si...

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women has been ratified by more countries than any other UN convention (Gabizon, 2016). The United Republic of Tanzania is one such country that hopes to fully utilize its human resources, both men and women, for socio-econo...
The early studies of the ASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins stratified the domain for study into stages of a generic transition pathway that suggested a strongly non-linear trajectory of change. In this scheme, a phase of degradation of aboveground vegetation, based on over-logging o...

Agroforestry and other tree-based systems (wood lots, afforestation) can contribute to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) in two ways: 1) as part of REDD+ under certain forest definitions; and / or 2) as part of a strategy for achieving REDD+ in landscapes. In th...
