Various authors have identified the potential relevance of innovation system approaches for inclusive innovation, that is, the means by which new goods and services are developed for and by the poor. However, it is still ...
Extractable soil nutrient effects on feed quality traits of crop residues in the semiarid rainfed mixed crop–livestock farming systems of Southern India
In the mixed crop–livestock systems, while general relation among feed
quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the
effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) ...
From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is characterised by diverse and heterogeneous environments
(World Bank, 2009), languages, cultures, institutions and histories (Hopkins, 2009)
and farming systems (Giller et al., 2011b; Tittonell et al., ...
Empirical evaluation of sustainability of divergent farms in the dryland farming systems of India
The present study argues that there are heterogeneous farm systems within the drylands and each farm
system is unique in terms of its livelihood asset and agricultural practice, and therefore in sustainability.
Our method ...
Farm typology analysis and technology assessment: An application in an arid region of South Asia
The design and diffusion of context-specific technologies is centrally important in the multi-dimensional, complex farming systems in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper uses a mixed-method framework to characterize the ...
Evaluation of fodder yield and fodder quality in sorghum and its interaction with grain yield under different water availability regimes
Sorghum is widely grown as a failsafe crop in semi-arid regions particularly in post rainy season. Though the
effect of drought on crop performance is studied widely there are few studies illustrating the association of ...
