Read here a recent interview with our Postdoc Yuhao Zhu and scientist Sonja Leitner on our South-South collaboration between African and Chinese scientists to reduce #GHG emissions in Kenya's smallholder farms. ILRI.org Claudia Arndt CGIAR TAHMO chinaglobalsouth.com/2023/09/04/qa-…

A new Food and Agriculture Organization report offers a comprehensive assessment of options to reduce methane emissions from livestock & rice systems. Methane accounts for about 20% of GHG emissions and is 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. fao.org/newsroom/detai…

Global temperatures in 2023 are extraordinary. The various different datasets available all agree on this. We are breaking records by shocking amounts. Graphic by micefearboggis

We're hiring a postdoc to work on pasture #biodiversity, #SoilHealth, #GHG emissions and grazing management in mixed smallholder farms in Kenya! Joint position between Bangor University and ILRI.org.

Tropical grasslands support livestock. And the soils they grow on influence their resilience and productivity. But who is monitoring the soils? At #Kapiti research station, it's scientists from Lancaster University, TU München & ILRI on a 'soil safari'. ilri.org/news/soil-safa…

🌱Healthy soils = healthy pastures = well fed livestock! Check out our latest research on easy indicators for degraded tropical soils! Habtamu W. Sibilu from TU München ILRI.org w/ Mariana Rufino Sonja Leitner is finding simple methods communities can use mazingirailri.wordpress.com/2024/06/27/sea…

New paper out in GBC by Daniel Wasner from Soil Resources Group at ETH Zurich on the changing importance of major soil C fractions for #soilcarbon storage along pegenetic and geoclimatic gradients. Microaggregates matter, in particular in high SOC and more developed soils! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

We're looking for a motivated postdoc to work with us in Kenya on sustainable manure and soil management for smallholder farmers & pastoralists in Africa! See the job advert here: ilri.org/join-us/jobs-c…

Exciting postdoc opportunity at Agroscope Switzerland that includes collaboration with us at ILRI.org Mazingira Centre to look at #sustainability of smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems in #Kenya and #Uganda!

🌍✨ The 9th Global Greenhouse Gas and Animal Agriculture (GGAA) Conference will be held from 5-9 October 2025, in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 🔬💡 Submit your abstracts by 15 December 15 2024 👉 ggaaconference.org/abstract-submi… #GGAA2025 #CallForAbstracts

Manure management plays a crucial role in addressing climate change. Properly managed manure can be valuable for sustainable agriculture. If mishandled, it can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, like methane, nitrous oxide (N20), potent greenhouse gases. #CIRNAproject

Potential role for #CIRNAproject Research and evidence generation - Data collection for effective manure management Capacity building: Engage local stakeholders in co- developing applicable solutions to manure management Policy recommendations: Providing evidence based insight

We launched our #CIRNA project #CIRcularity of Nutrients in #AgroecoSystems and co-benefits on animal and human #health in #Uganda yesterday, to develop #manure management practices for #smallholder pig farms for better organic #fertilizer, #sanitation, and #livelihoods. ILRI.org

Happy #WorldSoilDay! How much #carbon is stored in Kenya's #rangeland #soils? Find out what the team at Mazingira Centre is doing in the #CarboGrass project and the CGIAR #LivestockClimateInitiative to find the answer! ILRI.org @LutzMerbold Claudia Arndt ilri.org/news/how-much-…

Before starting a new project with farmers, it's critical to meet local decision-makers, inform them of your plans, and address their needs and expectations. Read more about the recent inception workshops for our CIRNA project in Kenya & Uganda here: ilri.org/news/cirna-pro…
