Tekinolojia hii ilitengenezwa kwa mfumo wa utafiti wa Afrika katika uimarishaji maendeleo endelevu kwa kizazi kijacho. Mradi wa Africa RISING umelenga kuwasaidia wakulima wadogowadogo kuondokana na njaa, uhaba wa chakula, Utapiamlo na umaskini. Hapo awali, kazi kubwa ilifanyika kukuza mazoea ya matumizi ya mbinu bora za kilimo kama vile mchanganyiko wa mbinu za utunzaji rutuba ya udongo (ISFM) ambazo zimeongeza tija ya mahindi kwa mafanikio mazuri.Item type: Item , Mbili-Mbili technology: Increasing legume production in East Africa(Brief, 2022-08) Kihara, Job Maguta; Kinyua, Michael WanjohiMbili-Mbili is a cereal-legume intercropping strategy involving three crops with different growth patterns spatially configured within a field. It was developed within the Africa Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation (Africa RISING) Program to get smallholder households out of hunger, food insecurity, malnutrition and poverty. Previously, significant work has been done to develop practices such as integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) that increase maize (Zea mays) productivity with success. However, legume productivity remains low, e.g., < 250 kg/ha for beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and < 400 kg/ha for pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). Recognizing this, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), a partner in the Africa RISING Program, developed and validated legume-based interventions in Babati, Tanzania, amongst which was Mbili-Mbili.Item type: Item , How does access to agricultural markets relate to yield, food security, and poverty in northern Ghana?(Brief, 2022-06-30) Azzarri, Carlo; Haile, Beliyou; Castaing, P.; Glover, Jerry; Kizito, FredItem type: Item , Animal traction-based maize–legume conservation agriculture(Brief, 2021-10-20) Thierfelder, Christian L.Item type: Item , Optimal spacing for groundnuts in smallholder farming systems(Brief, 2021-03-15) Abdul Rahman, Nurudeen; Kotu, Bekele Hundie; Kizito, Fred; Hoeschle-Zeledon, IrmgardItem type: Item , Cowpea living mulch for food security and soil health(Brief, 2021-03-15) Abdul Rahman, Nurudeen; Kizito, Fred; Hoeschle-Zeledon, IrmgardItem type: Item , Nutrient-rich beans for improved nutrition, incomes, and soil fertility(Brief, 2021-03-15) Chirwa, Rowland; Mankhwala, ChifuniroItem type: Item , Conservation agriculture in maize–legume systems(Brief, 2021-02) Thierfelder, Christian L.Item type: Item , Feed and health package for improved small ruminant production(Brief, 2021-02) Ayantunde, Augustine A.; Salifu, Sadat; Konlan, Solomon Pigangsoa; Dembélé, ThéophileItem type: Item , Doubled-up legumes technology(Brief, 2020-04-15) Chikowo, Regis; Snapp, Sieglinde S.; Vanlauwe, BernardItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Zambia(Brief, 2019-03-15) International Institute of Tropical AgricultureItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Malawi(Brief, 2019-03-15) International Institute of Tropical AgricultureItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Mali(Brief, 2019-03-15) International Institute of Tropical Agriculture; International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid TropicsItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Tanzania(Brief, 2019-03-15) International Institute of Tropical AgricultureItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Ghana(Brief, 2019-03-15) International Institute of Tropical AgricultureItem type: Item , Africa RISING in Ethiopia(Brief, 2019-03) International Institute of Tropical Agriculture; International Livestock Research Institute
