1. Evolving Potentials for Precision Climate-smart Agriculture in Sub-saharan African Countries Progressively, there is increasing awareness on the significance of agriculture in both adaptation and mitigation to climate change. While adaptation has been typically highlighted in the most vulnerable countries, especially in Africa where the failure to adapt have been noted to exacerbate the dangers of food insecurity, there is limited effort at emphasizing mitigation as the ultimate resolution of the debacle. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is critical to achieving development irrespective... M.G. Ogunnaike, O.D. Onafeso Download paper
2. Rainwater Harvesting and Nutrient Intensification in Maize-Legume Farming Systems in Semi-Arid Zimbabwe Agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe is declining mainly due to climate change and inherently poor soil fertility. The situation is worsened by the high cost of fertilizers beyond the reach of many smallholder farmers. In response to these challenges, most smallholder farmers are implementing either rainwater harvesting (RWH) or integrated soil fertility management (ISFM). This study sought to investigate the role of integrating the tied-contour RWH (TC-RWH) technique and ISFM on soil moisture,... E. Mutsamba-magwaza, D. Nyamayevu, G. Nyamadzawo, R. Mandumbu, I.

3. Optimizing Maize Production Through Minimum Tillage in Conservation Agriculture Systems: Evidence from Malawi's Lowlands Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems has been implemented and promoted across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a strategy for addressing low crop productivity often resulting in widespread food and nutritional insecurity. This study sought to assess the productivity potential of conservation agriculture (CA) cropping systems and associated crop establishment techniques in terms of grain, protein and energy yield. An on-station trial was implemented at Chitala Research Station in Malawi... D. Nyamayevu, I. Nyagumbo, W. Liang , R. Li Download paper
