Despite higher labour requirements, strip cropping and single-row intercropping lead to higher nutrition & economic benefits than monocrops. Thus, important for #smallholders who rely on their produce for food and income. Enjoy: authors.elsevier.com/c/1i87ZcA-Inxzm #UUInitiative #MFS #SIFAZ

Excited to share this research output showing how maize-legume rotations in Malawi’s smallholder farms are not just increasing maize yields but also boosting nutrition and maximizing land use efficiency. Thanks to Donald Nyamayevu and João Vasco Silva sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Agronomy matters & big data analytics can inform pathways for sustainable crop intensification in the future - see our new study Nature Communications led by harisankar nayak. With thanks to @ScalingAgronomy for the support and to CIMMYT IRRI 🌾 Cornell CALS Indian Council of Agricultural Research. for the partnership.

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.
