What induced farmers to protect and manage on-farm tree natural regeneration in Nigerien Dryland?
During the second half of the 20th century the Sahel experienced one of the most striking shifts in climate known globally since instrumental records began to be kept-from anomalously abundant rains in the 1950's and 1960's ...
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 ...
Training on Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration
This formation is part of research and scaling-out activities of the CCAFS regarding the Regeneration Naturally Assisted. A diagnostic made during the campaign, which took place between 2014 and 2015, has highlighted tthe ...
Sustainable intensification in drylands: What resilience and vulnerability can tell us
The challenge to increase food production is greater than ever,
as the world’s population is set to increase to a predicted nine billion
by 2050 (United Nations, 2008), requiring a 70 to 100% increase in
global food ...
Analyse des liens entre régénération des arbres, revenu et sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des petites exploitations agricoles en zone semi-aride dans l’Ouest du Burkina Faso
Dans un contexte marqué par les changements climatiques et une forte croissance démographique, les petites exploitations agricoles en Afrique subsaharienne restent confrontées au défi d’une production alimentaire suffisante ...
Population structure and regeneration status of Vitellaria Paradoxa (C. F. Gaertner) under different land management regimes in Atacora department

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 ...
