Abstract:

The high-altitude geographical characteristics and unique climate types of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have dictated an agricultural and pastoral development path for the region, which, after a series of evolutionary developments, has culminated in the current model of agro-pastoral integration. However, the economic and ecological benefits brought by the development of agriculture and animal husbandry are accompanied by serious issues such as land degradation and overgrazing, making the exploration and practice of sustainable agro-pastoral integration models for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau an urg

Abstract:

Being subject to climate change and human intervention, the land-use pattern in the agro-pastoral ecotone of Northern China has undergone complex changes over the past few decades, which may jeopardize the provision of ecosystem services. Thus, for sustainable land management, ecosystem services should be evaluated and monitored. In this study, based on Landsat TM/ETM data, we quantitatively evaluated the losses of ecosystem service values (ESV) in three sections of the agro-pastoral ecotone from 1980–2015. The results were as follows: (1) the main characteristic of the land conversions was th

The reproductive performance parameter of dairy cattle like age at first serves (AFS), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), Day opens (DO) and number of service per conception (NSPC) under different production system was quite different. Age at first calving was in Pastoral (43.5±1.5) months, Agro-pastoral (43.5±1.5) and Urban (33.2±0.79) months. Days open, for local breeds were in Pastoral (141±7 days), Agro-pastoral (141±7 days) and urban (185&

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors influencing adoption of African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) into the agro-pastoral farming systems aiming at improving livelihoods. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based upon the diffusion theory which is linked to the random utility theory. A survey of 205 agro-pastoral households obtained through multistage sampling technique was used. Factors influencing adoption of AIVs were estimated using a logit model. Findings Findings indicate that the acreage under AIVs was still very low compared to other crop enterprises with t

Abstract:

The impact of climate variability on societies around the world is increasingly evident. A vast majority of communities in Eastern Africa depend on agro-pastoralism for their livelihoods, however climate variability threatens a vast majority of these communities. Kenya is one of the most vulnerable countries and economic sectors and livelihoods frequently experience the manifestations of the problem. Climate variability therefore, affects provision of ecosystem services, especially those depended on by agro-pastoral farmers in Laikipia West sub-County, Kenya. This study determined the effects

Abstract:

Saving is a crucial tool for enhancing the livelihoods of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities, but due to a number of factors, its status and intensity are still in their infancy. Because of this, the current state of saving practices, their causes, and the size of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities are all examined in this study. A multi-stage sampling process was used to determine the 600 typical selected households. In order to assess the data, a double hurdle model was used. From the descriptive analysis result, only 35% of pastoral and agro-pastoral groups were savers. In compariso

Climate change and its variability threaten food security globally, making life uncertain, especially among agro-pastoral communities living in fragile semi-arid areas. This trend has necessitated the exploration of the potential designed and developed pathways and the emerging challenges which reduce the adaptive capacity of agro-pastoralists. This study investigates innovative pathways and challenges facing agro-pastoral communities in adapting to climate change and variability effects on crops and livestock production in semiarid areas of Kiteto and Kilindi Districts.

Tree species are the main component of the agro-forestry system because they provide farmers with direct benefits and play a vital role in mitigating climate change, stabilizing slopes, and ecological balance. The list of tree species used in different agro-forestry practices shows 110 tree species belonging to 42 families. Tree species belonging to the family Moraceae are widely used in agro-forestry practices, followed by Liguminosae, Rosaceae, Rubiaceae, and so on. There are approximately 44 species of trees suitable for single use, such as forage, fruit, fuelwood, and timber production. Si

Abstract:

Social innovation has emerged as a prominent strategy in development practice, attracting substantial scholarly attention. In Ethiopia’s pastoral and agro-pastoral areas, characterized by vulnerability and persistent development challenges, non-governmental organizations have begun implementing social innovations as alternatives to traditional interventions. However, the empirical understanding of the uptake of these innovations and the degree to which communities perceive ownership is limited. This study aims to investigate the adoption patterns of social innovations and evaluate community ow

Abstract:

In the outskirts of the northern periphery of Mbam and Djerem National Park, agro-pastoral conflicts have become very frequent in recent years. The resulting damage is so surprising that it leaves no one indifferent. Unfortunately, many writings analyze the causes of these agro-pastoral conflicts without, however, dwelling on the fodder resources which constitute not only the staple food of cattle but also one of the primary factors of these antagonisms. To overcome this knowledge gap, the authors adopted the survey method in order to identify, on the one hand, the attributes of agro-pastoral

In the Tibetan agro-pastoral ecotone, which has an altitude of 4000 m above sea level, small-scale cropland tillage has been exploited on the grassland surrounding the houses of farmers and herdsmen. However, knowledge of the effects of land change from grassland to cropland on soil nutrients and microbial communities is poor. Here, we investigated the structure and assembly mechanism of bacterial communities in cropland (tillage) and grassland (non-tillage) from an agro-pastoral ecotone of Tibet. Results indicated that soil nutrients and composition of bacterial communities changed dramatical

Rangeland suitability analysis is a critical step in rangeland management. The study sought to analyze the feasibility of rangelands for livestock production in agro-pastoral areas of Afar, Ethiopia’s pastoral regions. Natural pasture was the predominant feed source for animals, and feed shortage was the primary obstacle to livestock productivity, followed by drought in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems, respecti
