Phytonematodes in Integrated Crop-livestock Systems of Tropical Regions
Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2019The integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) is a model of sustainable cultivation that allows the recovery of degraded pastures and the intensification in pasture and grain production. However, the presence of pathogens in the production fields has hampered the employment of these systems.

Agroecological principles for the redesign of integrated crop–livestock systems
European Journal of Agronomy, 2014Combining crops and livestock within integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) represents an opportunity to improve the sustainability of farming systems. The objective of this paper is to analyse how agroecological principles can help farmers to redesign and improve the resilience, self-sufficiency, productivity, and efficiency of ICLS. Relying on case

Integrated Irrigated Crop–Livestock Systems in Dry Climates
Agronomy Journal, 2007Arid and semiarid landscapes are often fragile and, thus, vulnerable to both natural weather extremes and human activities. Climate change and increasing demands for food to meet needs of a growing global population will place greater stress on these environments.

Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems in the U.S. Corn Belt
Agronomy Journal, 2007Agricultural production systems in North America have become increasingly specialized. The lack of diversification has had negative economic, biological, and environmental consequences. One alternative approach to diversify agricultural production is to integrate cash grain cropping with ruminant livestock production.

Crop–Livestock Integration in the Urban Farming Systems of Yaoundé
2010As a result of rapid rates of urban growth, especially in the larger centres of Douala and the capital, Yaounde, about half the Cameroon’s population lives in urban areas (World Bank 2003). Yaounde’s population increased at the rate of about 10 percent per annum from 0.64 million in 1987 to 1.5 million in 2000 (DSCN 2000), and is projected to be as ...

Gender and Agricultural Change: Crop-Livestock Integration in Senegal
Society & Natural Resources, 2000In this article we evaluate stabling, a farm technology now being adopted by house holds in southern Senegal. We use data from southern Senegal to analyze the decision to adopt stabling and the impacts of adoption on family members. Our analyses use insights from several frameworks such as bargaining models and the transaction cost approach, models ...
