Institutional innovations in community-based watershed management – exploring lessons for scaling from an Inter Aide Programme in Southern Ethiopia by Yihenew Zewdie, Ebrahim, Mohammed, Getamesay Demeke

“…Pursuing a purpose-tailored and well-timed technical and organisational training at different levels, using carefully selected and sufficiently motivated farmer technical leaders (commonly known as Peer Educators), putting premium on technical excellence and well-timed sequencing of interventions, and employing a planning-in-action approach to inform the type and pace of implementation of interventions, the project has helped register the following major watershed development benefits: (i) facilitated access for farming families to fodder grasses; (ii) engendered effective soil and water conservation through the establishment of erosion control structures and appropriate management of these structures at the level of entire watersheds; (iii) promoted agroforestry through a decentralised system of nursery operation and dissemination of planting materials; (iv) strengthened on-farm crop diversification, including adding value to the local livestock economy; and (v) enabled direct project beneficiaries to generate higher household disposable income. …”

Climate change and ecological intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa – A systems approach to predict maize yield under push-pull technology by Alexandridis, Nikolaos, Feit, Benjamin, Kihara, Job, Luttermoser, Tim, May, Wilhelm, Midega, Charles, Öborn, Ingrid, Poveda, Katja, Sileshi, Gudeta W., Zewdie, Beyene, Clough, Yann, Jonsson, Mattias

“…Our review suggests variable impacts of climate change on PPT components in SSA by the end of the 21st century, including reduced soil fertility, increased weed and arthropod pest pressure and increased prevalence of crop diseases, but also increased biological control by pests' natural enemies. Extrapolating empirical evidence of climate effects to predict responses to projected climate conditions is mainly limited by a lack of mechanistic understanding regarding single and interactive effects of climate variables on PPT components. …”
