TL;DR: In this paper, a robust and operational definition of Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) is developed, based on detailed knowledge of African farming systems, their inherent variability, and optimal use of nutrients.

TL;DR: Two sustainable farming systems that greatly enhance the productivity and sustainability of integrated livestock systems have been developed and implemented in the dry savanna of Nigeria and economic analysis of these systems shows already an increase of 50–70% in the gross incomes of adopting farmers compared to those still following the current practices, mainly continuous maize cultivation.

Biological nitrogen fixation in trees in agro-ecosystems
TL;DR: The integration of trees, especially nitrogen fixing trees (NFTs), into agroforestry and silvo-pastoral systems can make a major contribution to sustainable agriculture by restoring and maintaining soil fertility, and in combating erosion and desertification as well as providing fuelwood as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of biological nitrogen fixation in legume based cropping systems; a case study of West Africa farming systems
TL;DR: The Nbenefit of grain legumes to non-legumes is small compared to the level of N fertilizer use in more intensive cereal production systems but is nevertheless significant in the context of the low amounts of input in subsistence farming.
