Building Community-Based Models for Climate Resilient Agriculture and Fisheries Across Landscapes within the Municipality of Ivisan, Capiz by International Institute of Rural Reconstruction

“…Climate resilient or smart agriculture (CRA/CSA), as a climate change response, provides an option for resource poor farmers in rural areas through its three- tiered objectives, which are: (a) increasing agriculture productivity and income in a sustainable, environmentally sound manner; (b) building capacity of households and food systems to adapt to climate change; and (c) reducing emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG’s) while increasing carbon sequestration of agro-ecosystems. …”

Improved cropping systems for higher productivity in the dry savannas of West Africa by Singh, B.B., Ajeigbe, Hakeem A.

“…We evaluated four cereal- cowpea intercropping row arrangements involving cereals: one cowpea, one cereal: four cowpea, two cereal: four cowpea intercrops, and sole crops of improved and local varieties of millet, cowpea, and sorghum with selective application of two sprays of insecticides on cowpea only and 100kg/ha fertilizer (N.P.K. 15:15:15) basal and 20kgN/ha top-dressed to cereals only. The results indicated sole crop improved cowpea to be most profitable followed by the two cereals: four cowpea intercrop system. …”
