Tangka, F.K.L.Ouma, Emily A.Staal, Steven J.[Women and the sustainable development of market-oriented dairying: evidence from the highlands of East Africa]Women and the sustainable development of market-oriented dairying: evidence from the highlands of East Africa

The subhumid and semi-arid zones of West Africa are one of the subregions reputed to hold Africa's greatest potential for expansion of animal agriculture. Within this region livestock are affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis-a disease that severely constrains productivity, thus hampering...


Kamuanga, M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.Tano, K.Mugalla, C.Pokou, K.Swallow, B.M.[Improving the productivity of crop-livestock systems under trypanosomosis risk in West Africa: Potentials and opportunities in the next decade]Improving the productivity of crop-livestock systems under trypanosomosis risk in West Africa: Potentials and opportunities in the next decade

The use of legume-legume mixtures to alleviate limitations of individual species in legume based technologies was investigated in subhumid Nigeria. The results indicate the potential of legume mixtures, through processes of complementation and compensation, to reduce the risk of legume establishm...


Peters, MichaelTarawali, Shirley A.Schultze-Kraft, RainerMusa, A.[Legume-legume complementarity for sustainable pasture development in the tropics]Legume-legume complementarity for sustainable pasture development in the tropics

Demands for food and fiber are increasing at a faster rate than supply in the medium and high altitude zones of Eastern Africa, while the productivity of the land is apparently declining. In many cases, productivity is constrained primarily by insufficient nutrient supply. To meet future demands ...


Wortmann, Charles S.[Research for sustainable agricultural production systems in high altitude zones of Eastern Africa]Research for sustainable agricultural production systems in high altitude zones of Eastern Africa

This paper addresses considerations for agricultural technology evaluation at various levels. At the research level, considerations include the information need, the resources required to conduct the research and the probability of research success. At the field-level, agronomic feasibility and t...

Mixed farming systems, combining crop and livestock activities, hold considerable promise for improved agricultural productivity and environmental conservation in semi-arid West Africa. Increasing population pressure and climatic changes have combined to render long-fallow periods less feasible a...


Williams, Timothy O.Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Fernández Rivera, S.Turner, M.[Livestock production and sustainable agricultural Development in semi-arid West Africa]Livestock production and sustainable agricultural Development in semi-arid West Africa

Africa is well-endowed with a diverse range of livestock breeds and strains of various species which are vital to the subsistence and economic Development of the continent. They provide year-round flow of essential products, sustain the employment and income of millions of people and contribute d...

Ensuring that farming in the moist savannas of Africa is maintained, despite increasing population pressure and agricultural demands, necessitates the sustainable integration of crop and livestock enterprises; a role that forage legumes can fulfill. The potential of eleven herbaceous and two shru...


Muhr, L.Tarawali, Shirley A.Peters, MichaelMerkel, U.Schultze-Kraft, RainerBerner, D.[Multiple uses of tropical forage legumes for sustainable farming in the moist savannas of Africa]Multiple uses of tropical forage legumes for sustainable farming in the moist savannas of Africa

The question of whether the contentious situation at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania, engendered by human population growth, agricultural intensification and perceptions of proper and sustainable land use, is a prevalent problem on a broader continental scale is addressed.
