Across East , TNC works with smallholder farmers to tailor the application of regenerative practices to the local environment and its specific needs. When done correctly, regenerative agriculture practices can aid in carbon sequestration, improve the ’s essential nitrogen and phosphorus content, and increase moisture.
Classic sons-of- civil war appears to be surprisingly rare , given sub-Saharan ’s high levels of ethnic heterogeneity and the high prevalence of civil war. 3 In SSA’s densely settled, ethnically heterogeneous zones, even SoS conflict on scales of magnitude and intensity that fall well below F&L’s operational definition ...
Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on the three principles of minimum disturbance, surface crop residue retention and crop rotations, and is one of the available options. In Southern , CA has been intensively promoted for more than a decade to combat declining fertility and to stabilize crop yields.
The sub-Saharan (SSA) region bears the blunt of pollution mainly due to-haphazard disposal and gross mismanagement of a wide assortment of pollutants generated from within and outside the region. Pollution of agricultural soils in the region is so intense that out of the 80 countries substantially affected by land degradation ( pollution, inclusive) in the world, 36 are found ...
ABSTRACT We lack an understanding of nitrogen (N) cycles in tropical forests of , although the environmental conditions in this region, such as type, vegetation, and climate, are distinct when compared with other tropical forests. Herein, we simultaneously quantified N fluxes through precipitation, throughfall, and 0-, 15-, and 30-cm solutions, as well as litterfall, in two ...

Agriculture is the mainstay of the economies of sub-Saharan as it employs 60% of the active population and contributes up to 35% of the GDP (AGRA 2014). Yet, agri-food systems remain weak regardless of the unrelenting efforts made by the Agricultural Research and development and the flagship agricultural programs initiated by governments of the sub-region. Agriculture in SSA is ...
