Cultivating alternative crops reduces crop losses due to African elephants

Journal of Pest Science, 2015
Throughout the sub-Saharan African countries, in which populations of the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) exist, farmers come into conflict with these pachyderms. Attracted by nutritious crops on the fields they destroy substantial amounts of harvest by crossing through the plantations and feeding on the crops.

Alternative crops for sustainable agricultural systems

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1992
Abstract The lack of suitable and appropriate crops has been a poorly recognized obstacle to the application of sound agroecological practices in some temperate and tropical regions. Cultivation of traditional hybrid crops in inherently hostile environments forces increased managerial and economic expenditures.

Multiattribute Assessment of Alternative Cropping Systems

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1995
AbstractMultiattribute rankings of seventy‐two alternative midwestern cropping systems involving corn, soybeans, and alfalfa hay are analyzed from profitability and environmental quality perspectives. Environmental consequences are simulated using EPIC and GLEAMS, and profitability is based on budget analysis.
