The concept of crop yield is generally used to represent the average amount of produce obtained per unit of the crop area. In case of tree crops, the concept of yield covers the average...

Cereal-legume intercropping has been traditionally practiced across West Africa by farmers and provides resilience of agriculture to climate variability. Intensification of these extensive intercropping systems...

Purpose The first purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of climate-caused cereal productivity changes on food security, welfare and GDP in South Asian countries. The second purpose is to assess...

Highlights: Cassava and cattle-meat (beef) yields are declining significantly, while rice yields are on the increase in Nigeria. Dwindling cassava yields are expected to significantly...

Highlights: CSA is positively associated with land productivity. CSA is also positively associated with food security. The bundled use of CSA practices offers greater land productivity...

Climate change, poverty, and low environmental education have contributed to increasing vulnerability of poor farmers in Mali. This study was done to determine the impact of low-cost adaptation...

Many African governments have been implementing inputs subsidy programmes (ISP) in order to turn around the low-input low-yield agricultural systems dominated by resource- constrained...

Highlights: This study investigates impact of membership in agricultural cooperatives on tomato yield. The Endogenous Treatment Linear Regression model was used to analyze the data. Agricultural cooperative...
