Research for development approaches in mixed crop-livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands
This study presents processes and success stories that emerged from Africa
RISING’s Research for Development project in the Ethiopian Highlands. The
project has tested a combination of participatory tools at multiple ...
Enclosures in West Pokot, Kenya - Transforming land, livestock and livelihoods in drylands
n
populations and associated pressure on water and land. Based on a combination of social and natural science
methods, we studied a 30-year transformation process from pastoralism to a livestock-based agro-pastoral system
in ...
Restoration of Degraded Lands in Mali: a review on lessons learnt and opportunities for scaling
The rapid growing population and the need of economic development is leading to a number of environmental issues, notably forest and degradation of land, resource depletion (water, mineral, forest), environmental degradation, ...
Grazing Exclosure for Watershed Management and Livelihoods in Amhara National Regional State of Ethiopia
This document provides a draft strategy for the regional up-scaling of grazing exclosure in the highlands of Amhara National Regional State of Ethiopia, proposed by International Livestock Research Institute

Applying the Research in Development Approach to Scale Land Restoration and Achieve the LDN targets
Successful land restoration – which must be undertaken to achieve the SDGs and UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration goals – needs to be taken to scale by reaching large numbers of people in farming communities and by covering ...
Advances in knowledge of processes in soil–tree–crop interactions in parkland systems in the West African Sahel: A review
The ‘parklands’ that form the most widespread farming systems in the Sahelian zone of West Africa are
farming systems in which annual crops are grown under scattered trees preserved from the natural
vegetation by farmers ...
Crop production under different rainfall and management conditions in agroforestry parkland systems in Burkina Faso: observations and simulation with WaNuLCAS model
Traditional agroforestry parkland systems
in Burkina Faso are under threat due to human
pressure and climate variability and change, requiring
a better understanding for planning of adaptation.
Field experiments were ...
Assisting smallholder farmers in mixed crop-livestock systems to understand the potential effects of technologies and climate change through participatory modeling
Smallholder farming systems in the semiarid
areas of Zimbabwe are characterized by low production. This low production is not solely
due to lack of technologies but also due to a lack of integrating a diversity of viewpoints ...
Effects of burning on soil macrofauna in a savanna-woodland under different experimental fuel load treatments
In West African savanna-woodland, the use of prescribed burning as a management tool has ecological
implications for the soil biota. Yet, the effects of fire on soil inhabiting organisms are poorly understood.
The aim of ...
Role of international research centers' soil laboratories in agricultural development
The worldwide network of 16 research centers of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) focuses on research, training, education, and capacity-building with the goal of poverty alleviation ...
