Alemayehu, M.Amede, TilahunPeden, Donald G.Kumsa, T.Böhme, M.H.Peters, Kurt J.[Assessing livestock water productivity in mixed farming systems of Gumara watershed, Ethiopia]Assessing livestock water productivity in mixed farming systems of Gumara watershed, Ethiopia

The impacts of climate change are expected to be generally detrimental for agriculture in many parts of Africa. Overall, warming and drying may reduce crop yields by 10–20% to 2050, but there are places where losses are likely to be much more severe. Increasing frequencies of heat stress, drought...

This paper evaluates the effect of livestock intensification through crossbreeding for dairying in Bhutan, where crossbreeding policies aim to improve smallholder livelihoods. It is also expected that crossbreeding will reduce dairy imports, and will reduce the environmental impact on forests and...


Samdupa, T.Udo, H.M.J.Eilers, C.H.A.M.Ibrahim, Mohamed N.M.Zijpp, A.J. van der[Crossbreeding and intensification of smallholder crop-cattle farming systems in Bhutan]Crossbreeding and intensification of smallholder crop-cattle farming systems in Bhutan

Agricultural mechanization in developing countries has taken at least two contested innovation pathways—the “incumbent trajectory” that promotes industrial agriculture, and an “alternative pathway” that supports small-scale mechanization for sustainable development of hillside farming systems. Al...

Typologies may be used as tools for dealing with farming system heterogeneity. This is achieved by classifying farms into groups that have common characteristics, i.e. farm types, which can support the implementation of a more tailored approach to agricultural development. This article explored p...

In Malawi, population growth has reduced opportunities for farmers to expand and cultivate new land. The country's primary farming population is comprised of smallholders, many who cultivate monocultures of maize (Zea mays). To reduce negative outcomes from this practice, intercropping maize with...
