Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers of household food availability in sub-Saharan Africa based on big data from small farms
Romain Frelat,Romain Frelat,Santiago Lopez-Ridaura,Ken E. Giller,Mario Herrero,Sabine Douxchamps,Agnes Andersson Djurfeldt,Olaf Erenstein,Ben Henderson,Menale Kassie,Birthe K. Paul,Cyrille Rigolot,Randall S. Ritzema,Daniel Rodriguez,Piet J.A. van Asten,Mark T. van Wijk +15 more
TL;DR: There is a strong need for multisectoral policy harmonization and incentives and improved interconnectedness of people to urban centers and diversification of employment sources rather than a singular focus on agricultural development of smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental evaluation of transfer and treatment of excess pig slurry by life cycle assessment.
Santiago Lopez-Ridaura,Santiago Lopez-Ridaura,Hayo M.G. van der Werf,Jean-Marie Paillat,Bertrand Le Bris +4 more
TL;DR: The overall environmental performance of transfer is better than that of treatment, as it involves less acidification, eutrophication and non-renewable energy use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ladha,Santiago Lopez-Ridaura,SP Nandrajog,Shashi Paul,A Ritter,Parbodh C. Sharma,Rajbir Singh,D. K. Singh,Rohini Somanathan +28 more
TL;DR: The case of crop residue management in northwestern India does not appear to fit this pattern and provides lessons that may be useful elsewhere, and synthesize emerging evidence on alternatives to burning, clarify the business case for alternative practices, identify remaining uncertainties, and discuss approaches to increase their widespread adoption.
Journal ArticleDOI
On farm assessment of rice yield variability and productivity gaps between organic and conventional cropping systems under Mediterranean climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the main factors affecting yield variability and the farmer management strategies used to sustain crop productivity while reducing input use were identified and categorised using classification and regression trees to describe management strategies under conventional and organic systems and to identify and categorise the main variables associated with rice yield variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate smart agriculture, farm household typologies and food security: An ex-ante assessment from Eastern India
Santiago Lopez-Ridaura,Romain Frelat,Romain Frelat,Mark T. van Wijk,Diego Valbuena,Timothy J. Krupnik,Mangi L. Jat +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that compared to livestock interventions, CA may hold considerable potential to boost HH PFA, though primarily for wealthier and medium-scale cereal farmers, while providing a robust methodology to vet the implications of agricultural interventions on an ex ante basis.
