Market-oriented urban and peri-urban dairy systems por Tegegne, Azage, Tadesse, M., Yami, A., Mekasha, Yoseph

“…They contribute to overall development through income and employment generation, food security, asset accumulation, poverty alleviation and improving human nutrition and health. A study on market-oriented urban and peri-urban dairy production systems in the Addis Ababa milk shed was undertaken, to test a conceptual framework, developed by ILRI for general characterisation of dairy systems, characterisation of specific sub-systems and identification of major constraints. …”

Crop-livestock interactions in the West African drylands por Powell, J.M., Pearson, R.A., Hiernaux, Pierre H.Y.

“…Many semiarid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are experiencing vast increases in human population pressure and urbanization. These augment the demand for agricultural products and have led to the expansion, intensification, and often closer integration of crop and livestock production systems. …”

T cell epitope identification for bovine vaccines: An epitope mapping method for BoLA A-11 por Groot, A.S., Nene, Vishvanath M., Hegde, N.R., Srikumaran, S., Rayner , J., Martin, W.

“…Computer-driven algorithms that facilitate the discovery of T cell epitopes from protein and genome sequences are now being used to accelerate preclinical studies of human vaccines. Similar tools are not yet available for predicting T cell epitopes for animal vaccines, but there may be sufficient data available to begin the process of compiling the algorithms. …”

Analysis of flow and baseflow trends in the Usangu Catchment, Tanzania por Shu, Yunqiao, Villholth, Karen G.

“…These phenomena may be partially explained by climate factors (including rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (ET)) as well as human activities (e.g. deforestation, irrigation, and groundwater abstraction) taking place in the lower as well as upper parts of the catchment.…”

Dynamics of births and juvenile recruitment in Mara-Serengeti ungulates in relation to climatic and land use changes por Ogutu, Joseph O., Piepho, Hans-Peter, Dublin, H.T., Bhola, N., Reid, Robin S.

“…Recruitment rates declined for all species but giraffe, likely due to habitat alteration and increasing vulnerability of animals associated with recurrent severe droughts, rising temperatures, unprecedentedly strong and prolonged El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) episodes, expansion of settlements, cultivation and human population growth in pastoral ranches adjoining the reserve. …”

Participatory conservation tillage research: An experience with minimum tillage on an Ethiopian highland Vertisol por Astatke, A., Jabbar, M.A., Tanner, D.

“…The minimum tillage system was characterized by a much lower level of soil manipulation relative to the traditional flat seedbed system, and, as a consequence, markedly reduced the total human labor and draft oxen requirements for wheat production. …”

The impacts of climate change on tropical and subtropical horticultural production por Mathur, P.N., Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Jarvis, Andy

“…Agriculture contributes to a considerable extent to increases of GHGs (~12% contribution globally), and therefore to climate change (IPCC 2007), but it is also one of the most (if not the most) sensitive human activities to changes in climates. An increase of 2°C in temperatures will pose a strong pressure on existing crop varieties (temperature thresholds could be exceeded in highly niche-specific and/or temperaturesensitive crops), whilst shifts in rainfall patterns could significantly alter harvests by altering fruit filling periods and delaying vegetative growth, to not speak about the effects of increased CO2 concentrations, the effects on agricultural pests and diseases, and on soil quality, most of which are still highly uncertain and remain under- or unexplored.…”
