Mixed method survey of vegetable farming and rural farmers’ livelihood in Enugu State, Nigeria

Assessment of pond and integrated aquaculture (IAA) systems in six districts of Tanzania
(2021-06-04)
Integrated agriculture and aquaculture systems (IAA) are well known for their ability to improve the overall farm productivity and profitability. This is through recycling of on-farm resources, such as nutrient rich fish pond water and agriculture remains that would otherwise be considered as wastes. The present study explores the existing and potential IAA systems in Tanzania. It also examines management strategies and their influence on fish yield and the economic returns between IAA and non-IAA fish farming. The ...

Choice of savings instruments among rural women maize farmers: evidence from Uganda
(2021-05-25)

In particular, the paper focuses on the choice between formal cash saving instruments like commercial banks, village savings and loans associations ...

Demonstration of improved feed trough for efficient feed utilisation by small ruminants in Southern Mali
(2021-12-21)
The ruminant feeding systems of smallholder farmers in mixed crop and livestock systems in Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa are characterised by waste. To promote efficient feed use, the use of improved feed trough for small ruminants was demonstrated in Sirakele, Zanzoni and M’Pessoba in Koutiala district in southern Mali in the late (March/April 2019) and early dry (February 2020) seasons. Forty-five farmers were selected randomly in the study sites and were each provided with one improved feed trough which was ...
