International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), 2019, "Irrigated Fodder Production for Sheep Fattening", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/DQGTMP, Harvard Dataverse, V2, UNF:6:+//XP9AKnfA7dhMleOZf7w== [fileUNF]
Feed shortage and poor quality of available feeds are major constraints for livestock production in the highlands of Ethiopia. A trial was conducted to assess if producing irrigated oat-vetch fodder during the dry period could adequately supplement the diet of fattening sheep and generate additional income for smallholders. For this purpose, a grou... |
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), 2019, "Faba Bean Forage Intercropping Practices to Meet Food-Feed Demands in Land-Constrained Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems of Southern Ethiopia", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/JAOXFJ, Harvard Dataverse, V3, UNF:6:PVlFAmiWtormcw6rvhbzSQ== [fileUNF]
Small land holdings are among the main constraints for smallholders to produce enough food and feed to meet household demands. During the main cropping season, when all the land is covered by stable crops, feed is critically in short supply. Africa RISING’s diagnostic surveys showed that during such times weeds growing with faba bean crop are used... |
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), 2021, "Effect of Feed-Health Intervention for Improved Small Ruminant Production on Gender and Household Nutrition in Northern Ghana", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/CA4J4K, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Nc65gaGlyG+Twmfbld+44w== [fileUNF]
Under the feed and health intervention study for improved, small-ruminant production in nine intervention communities in three regions of Northern Ghana, data has been collected on animal performance (average daily gain, flock dynamics), manure production (both quantity and quality), and cost and benefit, which covers the productivity, environmenta... |
International Water Management Institute (IWMI); International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), 2021, "Effect of Wetting Front Detector Irrigation Scheduling on Yield and Water Productivity of Pepper in the Upper East Region of Ghana", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U9MZZV, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:NtGtEtQf6MtRI0+JMOY6EQ== [fileUNF]
This dataset is generated from the research study that was conducted to understand and compare water use and agricultural productivity following the use of wetting front detectors (WFDs) against farmers' standard practice. The study was conducted in Nyangua and Tekuru communities in the Upper East Region of Ghana for 2 years (2017/2018 and 2018/201... |
World Agroforestry (ICRAF), 2021, "Simulated Productivity of Gliricidia-Maize System in Selected Dryland Areas of Dodoma Region in Tanzania", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/F1CNKY, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:VWuuEQ8kw3wuY7EU51kvPw== [fileUNF]
The database contains six simulated datasheets, namely: The MaizeDailyReport datasheet contains soil data including soil water and minerals at 10cm, 30cm and 50cm depths of the soil profile. Additionally, it contains data on maize phenology. The MaizeHarvestReport datasheet contains data on plant population per meter squared, grain weight, size and... |

Wageningen University and Research (WUR); International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI); International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), 2021, "Combined GIS and Africa RISING Baseline Evaluation Survey (ARBES) Farm Household Data for FarmMatch, Tanzania", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/Z8WXQM, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:M/UrywTZ/We2EUjzS1zJ0Q== [fileUNF]
GIS grid cells differ in biophysical conditions (soil, rainfall, etc.) and socio-economic circumstances (e.g. distance to market, population density). Moreover, within these cells we have households sampled within the Africa RISING Baseline Evaluation Survey (ARBES) database collected by IFPRI. For each household, we analyze in particular the main,... |

International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), 2021, "Are Smallholder Farmers Interested in Practicing Sustainable Intensification? A Choice Experiment on Farmers’ Preferences for Sustainability Attributes of Maize Production in Ghana", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/GNPZYH, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:Gv/yWqnUSG3Psd7+xnwmNA== [fileUNF]
This study aims to address the following objectives: Identify important attributes associated with maize production technologies including improved varieties and agronomic practices) as perceived by farmers. Assessing the differences in the technology preferences among farmers with respect to gender and farmer typologies. Refining technology target... |
Michigan State University (MSU), 2021, "Assessing the Medium to Long-Term Impacts of Sustainable Intensification Technologies on Crop Productivity", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/BUPNF4, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:uUMYD7WoK+H1r9uUa3hPhw== [fileUNF]
Integrating more grain legumes as intercrops or rotational system can allow farmers to achieve high and stable yield under varying rainfall, with modest fertilizer investments. This is critical for resource poor farmers who have limited access to mineral fertilizers. In these experiments that were initiated in 2012, we investigate soil organic carb... |
