Uptake of Climate-Smart Agricultural Technologies and Practices: Actual and Potential Adoption Rates in the Climate-Smart Village Site of Mali by Ouédraogo, Mathieu, Houessionon, Prosper, Zougmoré, Robert B., Partey, Samuel T.

“…Results showed significant differences in the observed and potential adoption rates of the CSA technologies and practices (drought tolerant crop varieties, micro-dosing, organic manure, intercropping, contour farming, farmer managed natural regeneration, agroforestry and climate information service). The most adopted technology was the organic manure (89%) while the least adopted was the intercropping (21%). …”

Biomass production and management practices in mixed crop-livestock systems in the west African Sahel: Opportunities and constraints by Ouédraogo, I., Ayantunde, Augustine A.

“…Some of the best practices are mulching, soil and water conservation techniques, composting, farmer managed natural regeneration, agroforestry, etc. These practices have overall contributed to increase agricultural productivity, ecosystem services provisioning and have sometime deepened the difference between men and women, rich and poor, young and old people. …”

Soil organic carbon in agricultural systems of six countries in East Africa – a literature review of status and carbon sequestration potential by Namirembe, Sara, Piikki, Kristin, Sommer, Rolf, Söderström, Mats, Tessema, Bezaye Dr., Nyawira, Sylvia Sarah

“…Short-term SOC sequestration (t C ha–1 year–1) in the 0–30 cm layer as a result of BMPs was 19.7 ± 3.9 from crop residues, 14.8 ± 8.7 from farmyard manure, 3.5 ± 4.5 from inorganic fertilizers, 2.7 from agroforestry, and 2.5 from improved fallow. However, the studies reviewed were mostly short-term and concentrated to a few locations. …”

Soil health and ecosystem services: Lessons from sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) by Kihara, Job Maguta, Bolo, Peter Omondi, Kinyua, Michael, Nyawira, Sylvia Sarah, Sommer, Rolf

“…Here, practicing conservation agriculture (CA) and Integrated Soil fertility management (ISFM) have overall positive benefits on increasing infiltration (>44), reducing runoff (>30%) and soil erosion (>33%) and increases soil biodiversity. While ISFM and Agroforestry increase provisioning of fuelwood, fodder and food, the effect of CA on the provisioning of food is unclear. …”

Towards low carbon agriculture: Systematic-narratives of climate-smart agriculture mitigation potential in Africa by Weniga Anuga, Samuel, Chirinda, Ngonidzashe, Nukpezah, Daniel, Ahenkan, Albert, Andrieu, Nadine, Gordon, Christopher

“…As limited experimental evidence exist on the GHG mitigation potential for some of the CSA alternatives including agroforestry, rotational farming, improved livestock breed and intensification of ruminants' diet, we recommend further experimental studies into these alternatives in more locations/contexts in Africa. …”
