Five institutions including ILCA/ILRI, collaborated on the joint Vertisol Project (JVP) starting in 1986 for the sustainable use of Vertisol soils in Ethiopia. The improved soil drainage from the use of the broadbed maker (BBM) plough is one component of a technology package, that together with i...

Traditional farming systems and conservation of local cultivars and associated indigenous knowledge are under threat and growing pressure resulting in genetic erosion of crop diversity. These systems are an essential component of sustainable crop production, household income and human nutrition f...

Increasing populations in West and Central Africa leads to intensification of land use and reduced fallow periods. Agricultural intensification in turn, results in degradation of soil fertility, erosion, spread of diseases, pests and weeds. Leguminous plants, integrated into existing cropping sys...

Integration of woody species with annual crops in agroforestry (AF) systems can enhance sustainability of production systems in the humid and subhumid tropics under low-input conditions. Agro-forestry has short and long-term protective and socioeconomic benefits. The various agroforestry systems ...
