A review of integrated surveys for resource inventory and monitoring of pastoral production systems in sub-Saharan Africa
Reviews various approaches and techniques used in a number of sub-Saharan African countries to collect and analyze data on large-scale ecological changes with particular reference to remote sensing and monitoring techniques in resource inventory; suggests ways to build more effective data bases.
Agriculture and climate change mitigation in the developing world
Agricultural activities in the developing world directly contribute about 4.23 GtCO2eq/y to the current anthropogenic forcing of the global climate, and indirectly a further approximately 3.93GtCO2eq/y through forest clearing and degradation. Together they constitute a quarter of the total global climate forcing from all sources. Many proven agricultural practices and policies can reduce this impact on the global climate without compromising food production, or reduce the climate impact per unit of agricultural production.
Africa RISING in Mali: Concept note and work plans for 2013
Agricultural biodiversity to manage the risks and empower the poor. Proceedings of the International Conference 27-29 April 2015, Rome, Italy.
An International Conference was held in Rome, Italy 27-29 April 2015 to launch the IFAD and EU supported Project ‘Linking agrobiodiversity value chains, climate adaptation and nutrition: Empowering the poor to manage risk’. The event brought together people with different expertise to discuss the role of agricultural biodiversity in fostering more resilient livelihoods and solicit their guidance to refine the methodological framework for the Project.
Adjustment and Sensitivity Analyses of a Beta Global Rangeland Model
G-Range is a global model that simulates generalized changes in rangelands through time,
created with support from the International Livestock Research Institute. Spatial data and a set
of parameters that control plant growth and other ecological attributes in landscape units
combine with computer code to represent ecological process such as soil nutrient and water
dynamics, vegetation growth, fire, and wild and domestic animal offtake. The model is spatial,
with areas of the world divided into square cells.
