National and Regional Livestock Markets: Opportunities for Growth in SADC
The last forty years has seen a continuous rise in the demand for meat, milk, and other livestock products worldwide. Fueled by trends
such as increased urbanization, growing populations, and income growth in the urban ...
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 ...
Maize–mucuna rotation: An alternative technology to improve water productivity in smallholder farming systems
Rain-fed crop production systems in the semi-arid tropics of Zimbabwe are characterized by low water productivity (WP), which is partly attributed to inherent low soil fertility, and further exacerbated by continuous ...
Improving food security, nutrition and incomes: the contribution of small stock
Despite years of work, the development indicators relating to subSaharan
Africa (SSA) often disappoint. For example, the highest
incidence of undernourishment in the world occurs in SSA where one out of every three people ...
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 ...
Optimizing Livelihood and Environmental Benefits from Crop Residues in Smallholder Crop-Livestock Systems in Southern Africa
Sustainable forms of intensification are needed to address the low and stagnant production of farming systems in southern Africa. More
efficient use of croplivestock
interactions can contribute to this; in this context the ...
