TL;DR: The African Conservation Tillage Network (ABACO) as discussed by the authors is an initiative that brings together scientists and practitioners from West, East and Southern Africa coordinated through the ABACO initiative, which relies on agro-ecologically intensive measures for soil rehabilitation and increased water productivity in semi-arid regions.

TL;DR: It was concluded that management of soil fertility gradients to increase crop productivity on smallholder farms hinges on increasing the capacity and efficiency with which organic matter is generated and utilized by different farmer weaclth groups across temporal scales.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used participatory action research (PAR) methodology, characterised by iterative planning-actionreflection cycles, coupled with a new concept of field-based farmer learning centres to build adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers to climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the nature and sources of vulnerability of smallholder farmers to climate variability and change, and interviewed farmers individually and in groups in Makoni and Hwedza districts in eastern Zimbabwe.

TL;DR: A 2-year study was conducted in three rainfall zones of Zimbabwe to explore opportunities for harnessing biological nitrogen fixation of non-cultivated herbaceous legumes, which hitherto have been regarded simply as weeds, in order to improve soil productivity on smallholder farms as mentioned in this paper.
