Independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991 presented the republics of Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, with severe challenges for land management with ensuing economic, social, and environmental crises. Driven by the historic development of irrigation projects, often unsupportable increases in livestock numbers on rangelands, and...
Food production in Kenya is suffering from low yields, partly due to land and soil degradation caused by poor land management practices. Sustainable land management practices can potentially improve yields, for example, for cereal production. In this research we worked with smallholder farmers in three counties in Western Kenya (Bungoma...
The Kelka forest in the Mopti region of Mali is important for the provision of ecosystem services like carbon sequestration and maintenance of the hydrological cycle. The Kelka forest area occupies more than 300, 000 hectares with 15 villages within and around its boundaries. The forest resources and soil fertility of the forest are in continuous decline...
Kenya’s soils are being degraded through suboptimal land management practices, causing declining yields and deterioration of land quality. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices can improve soil quality and enhance crop yields. Increasing evidence from the literature highlights the benefits from SLM, but for land users to adopt these practices requires...
A combination of anthropogenic and climatic factors, particularly traditional burning of crop residues, are reducing agricultural yields in an important food producing region of Georgia. There are a number of private and public costs and benefits associated with two scenarios reducing the incidence of burning in the agricultural sector. For both...
