Carbon Footprint Assessment and Mitigation Options of Dairy under Chinese Conditions
Farmer involvement in agriculture climate mitigation is essential if projects are to be sustainable and if we are to ensure projects do not compromise farmer livelihoods and food security for agriculture climate mitigation. Climate mitigation projects that involve smallholder farmers may provide ...
Over the last decade, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) has explored the use of fecal sludge (FS) in combination with other organic waste sources to optimize FS treatment and composting for the production of a safe organic fertilizer, which can – depending on demand – be enriche...

Considering projected population trends, food requirements in East Africa will drastically increase in the coming decades (van Ittersum et al., 2016). One way to ensure supply will meet demand is by raising crop yields in the region. In East Africa, agricultural yields still have large potential ...

Developing a running prototype of a bio-economic farm model for a trade-off analysis of different nutrient management options for maize cultivation in East-Africa
From 2010 to 2012, climate finance in the agricultural sector shifted
dramatically to increase public funds for adaptation (USD 155 to 314
million) and decrease private funds for climate change mitigation
(USD 289 to 48 million), primarily due to declining carbon prices in
2010 and 2011 and count...
