Really nice study on mixed crop-livestock systems in semi-arid Zimbabwe: large farm diversity, very low levels of production, and huge scope for targeting interventions. Thanks Frédéric Baudron for leading this study.

Happening now!!! RAIZ Research actions feedback & capacity building for farmers in AE Region 3 & 4 at Nyamukwere Hotel in Mutoko District with support from Government Departments & Local Leadership. Insightful reflections & lessons learnt from previous cropping seasons.

Similar to results reported in Hawassa, Ethiopia, cgiar.org/news-events/ne… the team of #MixedFarmingSystems ILRI.org CIMMYT CGIAR Jimma University Jimma Zone Agricultural Office, Jimma Agr. Research Centre, recently visited the field - resilience, systems intensification, intercropping.

Strategies to quantify and reduce N2O emissions from crops focus on N fertilizer management. Here we show that ~40% of N2O emissions from the most extensive cropping system in North America (maize/soybean rot) occur during the unfertilized soybean phase rdcu.be/dY9Hf .

Happening Now!!! RAIZ in Capacity Building of ARDAS Personnel from Murehwa & Mutoko Districts on understanding yield differentiation & farmer field monitoring to understand limiting factors to high yields among smallholder farmers - weeds & pests, CIS etc

Our coordinator Marc Corbeels (Cirad) participated as a keynote speaker at the @tropicalsummit in Lisbon, and showcased CANALLS activities in his speech on “Agroecology as a Key Approach to Climate Resilience: Policy and Institutional Support for Agroecology”.

📢Souleymane DIOP Souleymane DIOP RAIZ CLand Cirad will defend his PhD "Impact of #albedo change on the climate benefit of #conservationagriculture in sub-humid Zimbabwe" on Nov 28, 2024, at 1:30 pm CET. Link below (defense in French): inrae-fr.zoom.us/j/95979216106

RAIZ Coordination Team appraising the Project Steering Committee Members on key project achievements and direction of the remaining project actions. Many thanks to the team for the much needed support.

Insights from the recent Steering Committee with CIMMYT, CIRAD, UZ & EU, led by Prof. O. Jiri: 👉 Engage policymakers with science that works for farmers 👉 Bridge indigenous knowledge + climate science 👉 Govt support is key 👉 Research rooted in farmers’ realities #RAIZ

The RAIZ is fully geared for the season. We have established two Demonstration sites (Learning Centres) in Murewa where stakeholders will be learning different farming systems; crop biodiversity, diferent soil fertility programs among others.

It's official! Souleymane DIOP successfully defended his PhD thesis. His knowledge, self-assurance, & fortitude were demonstrated throughout his PhD defense. We at RP-PCP consider it an honor to have supported his academic endeavors. Best wishes & congratulations, Souleymane DIOP.

Congratulations, Dr. Armwell Shumba, on your remarkable achievement! The RP-PCP is proud to have supported your Ph.D. journey in soil science, and we celebrate your success and future endeavors.

#ResilienceBuilding RAIZ. Despite the dry spells at the beginning of the 2024-25 rain season, sorghum crop seems to be doing well especially in red soils than in sandy soils in Agroecological 3 & 4 in Mash East Province of Zimbabwe. #FoodSecurityEverywhere,Everyday
