Katunga Musale, DieudonnéMuhigwa, BJB[Assessing post-conflict challenges and opportunities of the animal-agriculture system in the Alpine region of Uvira district in Sud-Kivu Province, D. R. Congo]Assessing post-conflict challenges and opportunities of the animal-agriculture system in the Alpine region of Uvira district in Sud-Kivu Province, D. R. Congo

This paper considers the possible impacts of climate change on livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa. It examines in particular the impact of increased climate variability on the livestock assets of pastoralists. The paper concludes with a summary of some of the options for dealing with these types o...

We carried out a nationwide survey to morphologically characterize and identify the geographic distribution of Ethiopian donkey populations. Here we re-evaluated some of the donkey populations previously identified and explored new ones from which we confirmed the existence of six distinct donkey...

The doubling of global food demand by 2050 is driving resurgence in interventions for agricultural intensification. Globally, 700 million people are dependent on floodplain or coastal systems. Increased productivity in these aquatic agricultural systems is important for meeting current and future...

To date, silage adoption has been low in the tropics, particularly under smallholder conditions. Innovation and adoption processes of silage technologies were promoted in drought-constrained areas of Honduras using a flexible, site-specific and participatory research and extension approach. A tot...

Despite the importance of livestock to poor people and the magnitude of the changes that are likely to befall livestock systems, the intersection of climate change and livestock in developing countries is a relatively neglected research area. Little is known about the interactions of climate and ...

We implemented a cross-sectional study in Tana River County, Kenya, a Rift Valley fever (RVF)-endemic area, to quantify the strength of association between RVF virus (RVFv) seroprevalences in livestock and humans, and their respective intra-cluster correlation coefficients (ICCs). The study invol...

Pigs in Lao People’s Democratic Republic are important for income and food security, particularly in rural households. The majority of pigs are reared in smallholder systems, which may challenge the implementation of any disease control strategies. To investigate risk factors for pig production d...

Brachiaria grass is an emerging forage option for livestock production in Kenya. Kenya lies within the center of diversity for Brachiaria species, thus a high genetic variation in natural populations of Brachiaria is expected. Overgrazing and clearing of natural vegetation for crop production and...
