Closing system-wide yield gaps to increase food production and mitigate GHGs among mixed crop–livestock smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa por Henderson, Benjamin B., Godde, Cécile M., Medina-Hidalgo, D., Wijk, Mark T. van, Silvestri, Silvia, Douxchamps, Sabine, Stephenson, E., Power, B., Rigolot, Cyrille, Cacho, O., Herrero, Mario

“…In this study we estimate yield gaps for mixed crop–livestock smallholder farmers in seven Sub-Saharan African sites covering six countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Senegal and Burkina Faso). We also assess their potential to increase food production and reduce the GHG emission intensity of their products, as a result of closing these yield gaps.We use stochastic frontier analysis to construct separate production frontiers for each site, based on 2012 survey data prepared by the International Livestock Research Institute for the Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security program. …”

Heterosis and combining ability of elite maize inbred lines under northern corn leaf blight disease prone environments of the mid-altitude tropics por Abera, W., Hussein, S., Derera, J., Worku, M., Laing, M.

“…The hybrids, parents and three standard check varieties were evaluated using an alpha lattice design with two replications across seven environments in the mid-altitude sub-humid agro-ecologies in Ethiopia. The new top ranking hybrids displayed up to 250 % high-parent heterosis and mid-parent heterosis for grain yield and up to −25 % high-parent mid-parent heterosis for NCLB reaction. …”

Crop residue allocation to livestock feed, soil improvement and other uses along a productivity gradient in Eastern Africa por Duncan, Alan J., Bachewe, Fantu Nisrane, Mekonnen, Kindu, Valbuena, Diego, Rachier, Gideon O., Lule, D., Bahta, Mesfin, Erenstein, Olaf

“…In this study we used a household survey to quantify crop residue allocation patterns across a gradient of productivity in Eastern Africa focusing on two sites in Ethiopia and one in Kenya. We assessed the underlying determinants of crop residue allocation patterns with a view to understanding how productivity increases through intensification will influence biomass allocation in Eastern Africa and how livelihood and natural resource management objectives could be optimized. …”

Small holders managed manure nutrient losses and their implications on environment por Alemayehu, N., Masafu, M.M., Ebro, A., Tegegne, Azage

“…The total carbon equivalent (CO2e) gas emitted per household per annum was estimated at 11, 276 kg CO2e (i.e. 8 200 kg CO2e came from methane directly released by livestock plus their manure, 2 694 CO2e came from N2O emissions from manure management and 381.48 kg CO2e came from CO2 released from manure burning) that is about 2 tons CO2e per capita per year, twice the value reported for Ethiopia emission in 2005. The largest emissions were from methane (72.6%), nitrous oxide (24%) and carbon (3.4%), this result appeal for a need to improve livestock and manure management systems under smallholders' agriculture in order to curb the challenges of global carbon release.…”
