Baseline GHG emissions from the agricultural sector and mitigation potential in countries of East and West Africa por Brown, S., Grais A, Ambagis S, Pearson T

“…To address this question, we first estimated the business-as-usual emissions of greenhouse gases from the agricultural sector using the IPCC framework and land cover datasets based satellite imagery for the base year 2006 for four East African countries— Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, and five West African countries—Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. We found the total emissions to be in the order of about 129 million t CO2e/yr., with emissions from activities related to livestock dominating (84% of the total). …”

Food- and feed-based nutrient flows in two West African cities por Karg, H., Akoto-Danso, Edmund K., Drechsel, Pay, Abubakari, A.H., Buerkert, Andreas

“…We therefore examined the linkages between food and animal feed supply, their places of production and nutrient flows through the urban system in the two West African cities of Tamale (Ghana) and Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). Using primary data on food and feed flows, and secondary data to assess the transformation of these flows into nutrient terms, we show that, besides urban consumption, the function of the two study sites as trade hubs significantly determines nutrient flows. …”
