Jayashree, B.[Contour bunding preserves soils and boosts farmers' incomes by 20% in Mali]Contour bunding preserves soils and boosts farmers' incomes by 20% in Mali

Conservation agriculture (CA)—the simultaneous application of minimum soil disturbance, crop residue retention, and crop diversification—is a key approach to address declining soil fertility and the adverse effects of climate change in southern Africa. Applying the three defining principles of CA...


Thierfelder, ChristianBaudron, FrédéricSetimela, PeterNyagumbo, I.Mupangwa, W.Mhlanga, B.Lee, N.Gerard, Bruno G.[Complementary practices supporting conservation agriculture in southern Africa: A review]Complementary practices supporting conservation agriculture in southern Africa: A review

Sustainable intensification (SI) is a viable pathway to increase agricultural production and improve ecosystem health. Scaling SI technologies in locations with similar biophysical conditions enhance adoption. This paper employs novel extrapolation detection (ExeDet) algorithm and gridded bioclim...


Muthoni, Francis K.Baijukya, Frederick P.Sseguya, H.Bekunda, Mateete A.Hoeschle-Zeledon, IrmgardOuko, E.Mubea, K.[Geospatial approach for delineating extrapolation domains for sustainable agricultural intensification technologies]Geospatial approach for delineating extrapolation domains for sustainable agricultural intensification technologies

Cattle ranching in Brazil is a key driver of deforestation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Brazilian government plans to reduce national GHG emissions by at least 36%, partly by reducing emissions in the livestock sector through strategies such as intensification, pasture improvement, and...


Bogaerts, MeghanCirhigiri, LoraRobinson, IanRodkin, MikaelaHajjar, ReemCosta Junior, CiniroNewton, Peter[Climate change mitigation through intensified pasture management: Estimating greenhouse gas emissions on cattle farms in the Brazilian Amazon]Climate change mitigation through intensified pasture management: Estimating greenhouse gas emissions on cattle farms in the Brazilian Amazon

Studies that quantify nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from African tropical forests and adjacent managed land uses are scarce. The expansion of smallholder agriculture and commercial agriculture into the Mau forest, the largest montane forest in Kenya, has caused large-scale land use change over the l...


Wanyamaa, I.Pelster, David E.Arias-Navarro, CristinaButterbach-Bahl, KlausVerchot, Louis V.Rufino, Mariana C.[Management intensity controls soil N2O fluxes in an Afromontane ecosystem]Management intensity controls soil N2O fluxes in an Afromontane ecosystem

Cash crops are developing in the once forested areas of Indonesia in parallel with market and economic improvements. Perennial crops such as coffee, cocoa, and rubber were first planted in estates by private or public companies. Local people then integrated these crops into their farming systems,...


Feintrenie, L.Schwarze, S.Levang, P.[Are local people conservationists? Analysis of transition dynamics from agroforests to monoculture plantations in Indonesia]Are local people conservationists? Analysis of transition dynamics from agroforests to monoculture plantations in Indonesia

Introduction: Ethiopia has made efforts to tackle the challenges of low crop and livestock productivity and degradation of land resources through various rural development strategies. However, increasing demands for food, animal feed, fuel, and income-generating activities are putting pressure on...


Mekuria, WuletawMekonnen, KinduThorne, Peter J.Bezabih, MelkamuTamene, LulsegedAbera, Wuletawu[Competition for land resources: Driving forces and consequences in crop-livestock production systems of the Ethiopian highlands]Competition for land resources: Driving forces and consequences in crop-livestock production systems of the Ethiopian highlands

There is an ongoing debate on what constitutes sustainable intensification of agriculture (SIA). In this paper, we propose that a paradigm for sustainable intensification can be defined and translated into an operational framework for agricultural development. We argue that this paradigm must now...

To determine the symbiotic, phenotypic, and genetic diversity of rhizobia nodulating lentil in Ethiopia, 48 lentil-nodulating rhizobia were isolated from soil samples collected from diverse agro-ecological locations, and characterized based on 76 phenotypic traits. Furthermore, 26 representative ...
