Livestock and water interactions in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa: interventions for improved productivity by Descheemaeker, Katrien K., Amede, Tilahun, Haileslassie, Amare

“…However, for the LWP concept to be widely applicable, knowledge gaps have to be filled, in terms of methodologies for quantifying water productivity and integrating animal, herd, farm, water catchment and basin scales. This paper suggests approaches for the integration of technological, policy and institutional interventions that would contribute to making the LWP concept operational.…”
