Cattle manure management in East Africa: Review of manure quality and nutrient losses and scenarios for cattle and manure management

, 2009
Manure is an important source of nutrients for many smallholder farmers in East Africa, with cattle manure being the dominant type. Information on nutrient losses between excretion and application of manure is still limited under smallholder conditions in the tropics, due to the wide variation in farming conditions and variation in livestock and manure

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.
