Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties
Five varieties of faba bean (four improved released varieties and one local variety) were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the ...
Farmer-led approaches to drylands farming: crop - livestock conservation agriculture
The video depicts a successful story of crop-livestock integration in areas with scarce natural resources and land degradation such as Tajikistan, Tunisia and Algeria. While zero till seeding is an efficient technique to ...
Project Information Sheet template
Estimates suggest that 8 million Afghan households are dependent on incomes derived from crop
production and livestock rearing. Livestock provide a source of income and nutrition, as well as an
economic asset which can be ...
Assessing the potential of dual-purpose maize in southern Africa: A multi-level approach
This paper explores the potential and challenges of increasing production of food and feed on existing maize fields in mixed crop-livestock systems in the semi-arid areas of southern Africa. It integrates results from ...
Feeding Trial: Goat
In Afghanistan, goats are an essential element in the mixed crop-livestock farming under irrigated and rainfed production systems and the livelihoods of rural communities with a total number of 7.3 million goats that ...
Integrated crop-livestock production for marginal and favorable ecosystems
The main purpose of this course is to train participants in sustainable integrated livestock management in dryland production systems. Major topics addressed included rangeland ecology and rangeland grazing management, ...
Public-Private-Producers Partnership for Strengthening Seed Certification in Afghanistan: Project Inception Workshop
War, drought and social collapse have greatly undermined the agricultural production systems in Afghanistan. Reconstruction or development is needed to create a stronger commercial agricultural sector, including seed. The ...
Livelihood Strategies in KVIRS
This poster describes the livelihood strategies in KVIRS as a part of study for the Khanasser Valley Integrated Research Site (KVIRS) project: Livelihoods analysis survey.
Cultivar-dependent variation in lentil (Lens culinaris L.) and implications for selecting food-feed varieties
Lentil straw is one of the extensively used livestock feed in mixed crop-livestock systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. To identify the importance of varietal and environmental sources of variation in the nutritive value of straw ...
Towards Conservation Agriculture in Central Syria: Developmental insights from innovation driven research
In this paper, we report on early outcomes from Conservation Agriculture (CA) benchmark sites located within the marginal rainfed environment of agro-ecological zone 4 (rainfall 200-250 mm) in pre-conflict Central Syria; ...
