This field study examined fundamental questions about the role of home gardens in conservation, namely how the dynamic nature and mutliple uses of home gardens affect the stability of this micro-system and its role as a viable conservation unit. The results presented here should contribute to the...

New agricultural development pathways are required to meet climate change adaptation and mitigation needs in the food systems of low-income countries. A research and policy agenda is provided to indicate where innovation and new knowledge are needed. Adaptation requires identifying suitable crop ...

The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk production, we address six basic nut...

The purpose of this working paper is to provide insight into how we can use novel approaches to scale up research findings on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) to meaningfully address the challenges of poverty and climate change. The approaches described include those based on value chains and priv...

Widespread land degradation has serious negative ecological, social, and economic consequences. This is particularly true for smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa, which are crucial for the livelihoods of the majority of the population and the national economies. Sustainable land man...

This paper outlines a general framework for analysing the distributional impact of commodity and factor price changes on the welfare of disaggregate households. The impact may be decomposed into an average effect and the departures from that average. The latter departures may be attributed to int...
