Agricultural credit’s role in overcoming barriers to sustainable intensification of bovine livestock production in Colombia por Díaz, Manuel Francisco, Hurtado, Angie, Enciso, Karen, Triana Ángel, Natalia, Burkart, Stefan

“…The study proposes elements for the mitigation of these failures, such as a limitation of substitute credits (used for purposes other than agricultural activities) and their reorientation towards sustainable intensification (e.g. with silvo-pastoral systems and appropriate extension services), as well as the promotion of cooperative credits, among others.…”

Potential for biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) to reduce nitrification and N2O emissions from pasture-crop-livestock systems por Subbaraoa, Guntur V., Rao, Idupulapati M., Nakahara, K., Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Hash, C.T., Ando, Yasuo, Kawashima, T.

“…The ability of the BNI function in Brachiaria pastures to suppress N2O emissions and soil nitrification potential has been demonstrated; however, its potential role in controlling N2O emissions in agro-pastoral systems is under investigation. Here we present the current status of our understanding on how the BNI functions in Brachiaria pastures and feed-grain crops such as sorghum can be exploited both genetically and, from a production system's perspective, to develop low-nitrifying and low N2O-emitting production systems that would be economically profitable and ecologically sustainable.…”

Scaling out Climate Smart Agriculture: Strategies and Guidelines for Smallholder Farming in Western Kenya por Schaller, Michaela, Barth, Elena I., Blies, Darinka, Röhrig, Felicitas, Schümmelfeder, Malte

“…Of the 38 million people in Kenya, 4.7 million are primarily engaged in small-scale agriculture and pastoral activities. The Kenyan population is unevenly distributed, with densities substantially higher in the central region around Nairobi and in Western Kenya (Wiesmann et al., 2014).…”

Udder health inflammatory markers in camel milk (Camelus dromedarius) and milk yield por Tinggren, Sofie

“…As CMT is an easy and cheap way of detecting udder quarters with subclinical mastitis, it could be used as a measurement to improve udder health and camel milk quality in pastoral camel herds in Kenya.…”

Assessing potential locations for flood-based farming using satellite imagery: a case study of Afar region, Ethiopia por Gumma, Murali K., Amede, T., Getnet, M., Pinjarla, B., Panjala, P., Legesse, G., Tilahun, G., Akker, Elisabeth van den, Berdel, W., Keller, C., Siambi, M., Whitbread, Anthony M.

“…We concluded that Afar has a huge potential for flood-based technology implementation and recommend further investigation into the investments needed to support new socio-economic opportunities and implications for the local agro-pastoral communities.…”

Integrating crop pollination management, native beekeeping, and silvopastoral systems to improve the cattle sector’s sustainability in Latin America por Narjes, Manuel Ernesto, Cardoso, Juan Andrés, Burkart, Stefan

“…One solution is the inclusion of forage legumes (fabaceae) in cattle production systems, for example as forage banks or within silvo-pastoral systems (SPS), which are mostly pollinated by insects, in particular bees. …”

Population, biomass, and economic value of small ruminants in Ethiopia por Jemberu, Wudu T., Yin Li, Asfaw, Wondwosen, Mayberry, Dianne, Schrobback, Peggy, Rushton, Jonathan, Knight-Jones, Theodore J.D.

“…Small ruminants are held across the country mainly managed under two major production systems: the crop-livestock mixed system and the pastoral system. The small ruminant population has grown in the past 10 years with an average annual growth rate of 4.6% for sheep and 6.7% for goats. …”

Information exchange patterns and technology adoption behavior of cattle farmers in the Colombian Amazon por Lienert, Anja, Lippert, Christian, Burkart, Stefan

Feasibility of improved silvopastoral systems in the Caribbean region of Nicaragua por Hoek, Rein van der, Mena, Martin, López, Marlon, Wiegel, Jennifer Rebecca

“…FAO requested a feasibility study of different scenarios (Business as Usual-BAU versus silvo-pastoral interventions-SPS) of investments in silvopastoral components (such as Iive fences, fodder banks, regeneration of trees in pastures) and improved pastures of small and medium livestock farms. …”

Economic benefits of sustainable, forage-based cattle systems in Colombia and Nicaragua por Burkart, Stefan, Enciso, Karen, Díaz, Manuel Francisco, van der Hoek, Rein

“…Our evaluations show that, despite higher establishment and management costs, integrating improved forage technologies (and management practices) in sustainably intensified cattle systems, either as monoculture, grass-legume associations, silvo-pastoral systems, or in combination with improved management strategies (e.g., intensive, or rotational grazing), not only make sense from the environmental and productive perspectives but also in terms of economic viability. …”

The imperative of policy research for scaling improved forages in the tropics por Burkart, Stefan, Sandoval, Danny

“…By engaging with stakeholders across the value chain, policymakers can devise context-specific strategies that promote equitable access to forage resources and ensure the inclusion of marginalised groups, such as smallholder farmers and pastoral communities. Importantly, policy research serves as a mechanism for evidence-based decision-making, helping policymakers navigate trade-offs and prioritise interventions that maximise societal benefits while minimising trade-offs. …”
