EverGreen Maize for Africa project report
This project report is based on the EverGreen Maize for Africa (EMA)project - an initiative between the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and DuPont Pioneer to promote the use of fertilizer trees as part of integrated soil ...
Planting basin (Soil and water conservation) planned comparison protocol
Agricultural productivity in arid and semi-arid areas,such as Kitui and Makueni counties of Kenya,
is limited by several challenges. These include water scarcity resulting from unpredictable and
unreliable rains, and land ...
Achieving Food Security and Reducing Poverty through Land Restoration
Land restoration and avoiding further degradation can be a key pathway to achieving food security and exiting poverty for some of the most vulnerable people living in Africa’s drylands. Achieving the UN’s SDGs requires ...
Assessment of beneficiaries and benefits from ecosystem services of tree-based farming systems in the semi-arid Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Optimization of tree cover is frequently mentioned in the context of agroforestry research and advocacy. While there have been several, mostly modeling, attempts to study the optimization of agroforestry systems, there ...
Influence of putative forest refugia and biogeographic barriers on the level and distribution of genetic variation in an African savannah tree, Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss
Phylogeographic studies of tropical and subtropical
tree species provide an ideal method to study the role of forest
refugia in the structuring of genetic diversity in contemporary
populations. To date, most studies have ...
EverGreen Maize for Africa Project Fact Sheet
EMA is part of wider EverGreen Agriculture (EGA) practices being implemented in Zambia to increase farmers’ opportunities to improve and sustain maize yields using locally available resources.

The project website is designed to operate through bringing key partners from the public and private sectors, across research, extension, market, and governance institutions to work together in an iterative co-learning ...
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 ...
Treesilience: An assessment of the resilience provided by trees in the drylands of Eastern Africa Edited
This book is the result of a consultative process, which brought together experts from
Eastern Africa and beyond to synthesize and compile existing information on the role
of trees in building resilience in the region’s ...
