Agricultural livelihood systems typology for coping with diversity in smallholder farming system research: A demonstrative case in South-western Burkina Faso
Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the ...
How to keep it adequate: A protocol for ensuring validity in agent-based simulation
There has so far been no shared understanding of validity in agent-based simulation. We here conceptualise validation as systematically substantiating the premises on which conclusions from simulation analysis for a ...
Long-Term Impact of Soil and Water Conservation Measures on Soil Erosion in a Tunisian Semi-Arid Watershed
Understanding and long-term assessment of the efficacy of soil and water conservation (SWC) techniques is essential for sustainable watershed management. There have been few studies measuring the long-term impact of SWC ...
Provisional analytical procedures for mapping MFS, their socio-ecological context, and system performance
A methodological approach for mapping mixed farming systems (MFS) and typologies at national and sub-national levels is proposed and described, with concrete system-based analytical pathway and suggested data sources. The ...
Coupling crop diversification, soil and water conservation, soil fertility management, and pest and weed control in Lentil-Chickpea zones of Ethiopia
The study aims at understanding factors determining concurrent farmers' strategies for sustainable intensification such as crop diversification, soil and water conservation, soil fertility management, and pest and weed ...
MASSAI: Multi-agent system for simulating sustainable agricultural intensification of smallholder farms in Africa
The research and development needed to achieve sustainability of African smallholder agricultural and natural systems has led to a wide array of theoretical frameworks for conceptualising socioecological processes and ...
Economic Evaluation of Soil and Water Conservation Practices and Forage Mixtures Cropping Under Different Agroecosystems in Northern and Central West Tunisia
Soil erosion and land degradation are critical challenges in Northern and Central West Tunisia. This report assesses the profitability of different forage mixtures used as a key rotation practice to mitigate these challenges. ...
Potential Use of Forage Mixtures for Soil and Water Conservation, Agricultural Sustainability, and Climate Change Adaptation in Northern and Central West Tunisia
This policy brief provides empirical evidence on the profitability of soil and water conservation (SWC) practices and forage mixtures, implemented to mitigate soil erosion and land degradation in Northern and Central West Tunisia.
Criteria and Indicators for Sustainability of Agricultural Livelihood Systems: Ethiopian Stakeholders' Perspectives. Multi-stakeholder Workshop Report
The workshop was initiated in the frame of the Project GLDC-FP3: Integrated Farm-Household Management under the Activity 3.3.6: Criteria & Indicators of ALS Sustainability. This workshop aimed the farmer’s self-exploration ...
Geoinformatics Options by Contexts for Sustainable Livestock Management (GeOC4SLiM) - An User Manual with Focus on Interfaces and Operational Functions
Sustainable Livestock Management (SLiM) are required to interrelated UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on poverty alleviation, achieved food security, improved nutrition, promoted sustainable agriculture and land ...
