Conservation agriculture and smallholder farming in Africa: The heretics' view
Ken E. Giller,Ken E. Giller,Ernst Witter,Marc Corbeels,Marc Corbeels,Pablo Tittonell,Pablo Tittonell +6 more
TL;DR: Conservation agriculture is claimed to be a panacea for the problems of poor agricultural productivity and soil degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It is actively promoted by international research and development organisations, with such strong advocacy that critical debate is stifled as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The largest maize crop model intercomparison to date, including 23 different models, is presented, suggesting that using an ensemble of models has merit and there was a large uncertainty in the yield response to [CO2 ] among models.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Nutrient Use in Animal and Cropping systems -Efficiencies and Scales (NUANCES) framework as mentioned in this paper offers a structured approach to unravel and understand the complexity of African farming to identify what we term "best-fit" technologies, targeted to specific types of farmers and to specific niches within their farms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of long-term effects of conservation agriculture on maize grain yield under rain-fed conditions
Leonard Rusinamhodzi,Leonard Rusinamhodzi,Marc Corbeels,Mark T. van Wijk,Mariana C. Rufino,Justice Nyamangara,Ken E. Giller +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of long-term tillage and residue retention on maize grain yield under contrasting soil textures, nitrogen input and climate was assessed by stability analysis, which showed an increase in maize yield over time with conservation agriculture practices that include rotation and high input use in low rainfall areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maize-grain legume intercropping is an attractive option for ecological intensification that reduces climatic risk for smallholder farmers in central Mozambique
TL;DR: The suitability of maize–legume intercropping to alleviate the biophysical and socio-economic constraints faced by smallholder farmers in Ruaca and Vunduzi villages, central Mozambique is evaluated and it is concluded that maize–pigeonpea intercropped may improve productivity and help reduce the area cultivated.
