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 ...
Nutrient flow modelling for assessing the resource criticality of heterogeneous agricultural systems: A case study in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Despite the many advantages of sustainable intensification (SI), the level of adoption of SI practices in African smallholding farms is still very low, posing the need for adequate methods for monitoring farm sustainability. ...
The role of responsive heterogeneity in sub-Saharan smallholder farming sustainability: socio-economic and biophysical determinants of mineral and organic fertilizers used in South Western Burkina Faso
Sustainable soil nutrient management (SNM) is important for improving soil resources and food security in sub-Saharan African countries. Inherent livelihood diversity may lead to differences in household behavior in the ...

This report recaps and overviews the result of the participatory consolidation of the Curriculum of the New Master-level Subject Titled “Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems ...
Farm level production efficiencies and their drivers in cereal-based heterogeneous smallholder systems in western Burkina Faso
The present study analysed farm level crop production efficiency for cereal-oriented agricultural livelihood system (ALS) types in the Satiri sub-district, western Burkina Faso. The typological results of a previous study ...
Multi-agent system for integrating ecological processes at multiple scales with human decision-making: Solutions and lessons learned from a modelling framework applied in different landscape ecosystems
Modelling socio-ecological systems, in which social and ecological systems interact each other and co-evolve, are useful for supporting decisions in managing landscape ecosystems. Inter-linking socially interactive ...
Farm soil nutrient flows and balances in cereal-based heterogeneous smallholder systems in western Burkina Faso
The present study analysed farm soil nutrient flows and partial balances for cereal-oriented agricultural livelihood system (ALS) types in the Satiri sub-district, western Burkina Faso. The results showed that main inflows ...
Criteria and Indicators for Sustainability of Agricultural Livelihood Systems: Stakeholders' Perspectives - The 2nd Workshop.
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 is the second workshop, as a follow-up of ...
Integrated Methods for Analysis and Assessment of Agricultural Livelihood Systems Toward Sustainability – A Report on Curriculum Development for a Master-Level Subject
Agricultural systems and rural livelihoods continuously evolve as a result of interactions between the local farming systems and global, regional and national driving forces. Agricultural technologies and agricultural, ...
