      Des études antérieures ont prédis que le maïs deviendra une culture commerciale et assurera la sécurité alimentaire mieux que toute autre culture. Dans le Nord du Bénin par exemple, il vient en deuxième position après le coton en tant que culture de subsistance et de rente. Selon le Ministère de l’Agriculture, de l’Élevage et de la Pêche (1997-2005), les superficies emblavées ont augmenté de 583254 ha en 1997 à 714155 ha en 2004. Malheureusement, les rendements moyens ont stagné entre 1100 et 1250 ...

For examining the determinants of adoption, the project undertook the following four major tasks: (i) Large-scale household (HH) survey (2500 households from the ...

    • Testing alternative methods of varietal identification using DNA fingerprinting: results of pilot studies in Ghana and Zambia 

      Maredia, Mywish K.; Reyes, B.A.; Manu-Aduening, J.A.; Dankyi, Ansong A.; Hamazakaza, P.; Muimui, K.; Rabbi, Ismail Y; Kulakow, P.A.; Parkes, E.; Abdoulaye, Tahirou; Katungi, E.; Raatz, B. (Michigan State University, 2016-10)
      Varietal adoption based on household surveys has mostly relied on farmers’ response to varietal identification. This method can give biased estimates if farmers are unable to identify improved varieties as a group or by name, or give names that do not match with the released variety list. To tackle these potential problems other innovative methods have been suggested that require time and resource intensive data collection such as including follow-up questions in the survey instrument to gather ...

      Lamanna, Christine; Namoi, Nictor; Kimaro, Anthony A.; Mpanda, Mathew; Egeru, Anthony; Okia, Clement; Ramírez Villegas, Julián; Mwongera, Caroline; Ampaire, Edidah L.; Asten, Piet J.A. van; Winowiecki, Leigh A.; Läderach, Peter; Rosenstock, Todd S. (2016-10-03)
      Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is being widely promoted as a solution for food insecurity and climate change adaptation in food systems of sub-Saharan Africa, while simultaneously reducing the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Governments throughout Africa are writing policies and programs to promote CSA practices despite uncertainty about the ability for practices to meet the triple CSA objectives of CSA. We conducted a systematic review of 175 peer-reviewed and grey literature studies, to ...
