Can smallholder farmers buffer rainfall variability through conservation agriculture? On-farm practices and maize yields in Kenya and Malawi

Reduced tillage, permanent ground cover and crop diversification are the three core pillars of Conservation Agriculture (CA).We assess and compare on-farm effects of different practices related to the three pillars ofCA on maize yields under ENSO-driven rainfall variability in Kenya and Malawi. Redu...
