Cereal yield response to conservation agriculture practices in drylands of West Africa: A quantitative synthesis
To address the decline in crop productivity in the drylands ofWest Africa, many initiatives have focused on
combating soil degradation. Various practices including (1) parkland trees associated with crops, (2)
coppicing ...
GLDC-FP3-3.13 REPORT - Analyzing the impacts of GLDC innovations on the food and nutrition security in DRYDEV sites in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger
Dietary diversity (DD) was found to be significantly affected by households’ ethnicity, demography, garden ownership, poultry keeping, and project support. The study also revealed that respondent diversified the consumption ...
Parklands for buffering climate risk and sustaining agricultural production in the Sahel of West Africa
In the Sahelian zone of West Africa, crops grown under a
discontinuous cover of scattered trees dominate many
landscapes and constitute the so-called parklands. These
systems reflect the ecological knowledge of the farmers ...
Reactions of Adansonia digitata L. provenances to long-term stress at seedling stage
The effects of drought stress on growth parameters and dry matter partitioning of seven provenances (six from West Africa and one from East Africa) of Adansonia digitata L. were assessed in a seedling experiment in Burkina ...
Soil organic carbon stocks in semi-arid West African drylands: implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation
In the West African drylands, SOC sequestration is seen as one of the prominent strategies to both enhance the resilience of agro-ecosystems and mitigate global greenhouse effects. However, there is a dearth of baseline ...
Advances in knowledge of processes in soil–tree–crop interactions in parkland systems in the West African Sahel: A review
The ‘parklands’ that form the most widespread farming systems in the Sahelian zone of West Africa are
farming systems in which annual crops are grown under scattered trees preserved from the natural
vegetation by farmers ...
CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2021
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
