Adoption of small ruminants’ fattening package in agropastoral areas, Mieso Wereda, Eastern Oromia
Many studies were conducted to identify determinants of adoption of crop base technologies and practices and improved seeds, and while few studies concerned on evaluation of extension services in terms of the clients’ need and interest or adoption of livestock technologies in agropastoral and pastoral context In fact, livestock extension services in general in developing countries are less prioritized and thus livestock based technology services are rarely extended Common livestock technologies which are promoted to livestock raisers are focused on feed, veterinary services, and improved ma

Agriculture, food security and climate change: Outlook for knowledge, tools and action
Agriculture and food security are key sectors for intervention under climate change. Agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2C (lowend) predictions for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for rural poverty and for both rural and urban food security. Agriculture also presents untapped opportunities for mitigation, given the large land area under crops and rangeland, and the additional mitigation potential of aquaculture.
Agricultural knowledge management: Case of dairy production improvement Bure Woreda, West Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region
The government of Ethiopia gives great attention to agriculture and rural development for the country’s economy development. Dairy development is one of the components of agricultural development. To improve dairy production in certain locality, dairy producers should able to access and use appropriate knowledge for the particular problem at the right time.

Examines the consequences for cattle husbandry of livestock-crop integration as practiced in an agropastoral production system in the sub-humid zone of Nigeria - based on a study of herding practices and cattle grazing behaviour.
Agricultural Adaptation and Institutional Responses to Climate Change Vulnerability in Ethiopia
Climate change is a major development challenge to Ethiopia. Climate change is expected to
adversely affect all economic sectors, eco-regions, and social groups. Agriculture is one of the
most vulnerable sectors as it is highly dependent on rainfall. This report synthesises four case
studies focusing on the impacts, vulnerabilities and local adaptation practices in Ethiopia‘s
agricultural sector, including policy and institutional responses. The case studies were carried
Agrobiodiversity conservation and use in Asia, Pacific and Oceania
The Asia, Pacific and Oceania (APO) region is the centre of diversity of many important species of crops, animals and livestock. Most of its resource-poor farmers depend on this agrobiodiversity for food security and livelihood. Agrobiodiversity in APO has served as the source of genetic materials that propelled the Green Revolution in the region. It has enabled continuous growth in productivity, allowing agriculture to cope with declining yield, emergence of pests and diseases and occurrence of abiotic stresses like drought and floods.
