Adapting the CROPGRO model to simulate biomass production and soil organic carbon of Cayman grass in East Africa
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132215
Abstract
Biophysical models are key to inform management activities that can restore degraded soils and ultimately improve biomass production and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Within East Africa several studies have been conducted to evaluate models in annual cropping systems, and to quantify the impacts of different agronomic management options on soil organic carbon and…

Urochloa grass and biofortified maize rotation improve zinc uptake: A promising strategy to fostering human health
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132213
Abstract
Biofortification of crops is a promising strategy for addressing micronutrient deficiencies in populations with limited access to diverse diets. Zinc is a critical trace element for human health, and therefore, more equitable food systems. Zinc deficiency in soil can affect plant growth and yield. The capacity of Urochloa grasses to biologically inhibit nitrification (BNI) and…

Seed credit model in Uganda: Participation and empowerment dynamics among smallholder women and men farmers
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132269
Abstract
Seed is life and can be a source of empowerment and disempowerment for women and men farmers. In this study, to close the gender gaps in seed, the Community Enterprises Development Organization, the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT and the National Agricultural Research Organization developed a seed credit model available to men and women belonging to farmer groups. A mixed method was…

Connected Conservation: Rethinking conservation for a telecoupled world
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131141
Abstract
The convergence of the biodiversity and climate crises, widening of wealth inequality, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the urgent need to mobilize change to secure sustainable futures. Centres of tropical biodiversity are a major focus of conservation efforts, delivered in predominantly site-level interventions often incorporating alternative-livelihood provision or poverty-alleviation components.…

Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/131463
Abstract
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses. Recognized ILA design principles provide guidance for implementation, yet application remains challenging, and a strong performance evidence-base is yet to be formed. Through a critical literature review and focus group…

The status of knowledge, attitudes, and practice in the cultivation and usage of improved forages in Kenya and Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132276
Abstract
There is a scarcity of published literature about farmers’ level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding improved forage varieties in East Africa, particularly among the populations where development projects have been and continue to be implemented. This study was carried out to address this knowledge gap and strengthen future scaling activities. We rely on cross-…

Assessing the mitigation potential of nutrient blocks made of tropical trees and legumes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132271
Abstract
Fruits and leaves of tropical trees and legumes are highly nutritious and serve as a valuable source of essential nutrients for animal feed. Additionally, since trees and legumes are native to many tropical regions, they can be grown and maintained with fewer resources and lower costs than other feed options. Nutrient blocks are important for providing supplemental nutrition to ruminants when grazing…
