- Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2015, background): “In particular, the removal of residue from the soil combined with the low use inorganic fertilizer and minimal return of manure increases the potential erosion and nutrient depletion of already fragile and poor soils (van Keulen and Breman, 1990; Breman et al., 2001; Haileslassie et al., 2005).”
- The development and climate nexus: the case of sub-Saharan Africa (2003, background): “) needed for agricultural intensification (Breman et al., 2001), while the limited financial resources of the relevant governments often preclude re-establishing ecological balance and adopting more rational systems of agricultural production.”
- Safeguarding food security in volatile global markets. (2011, background): “Yields thus hide the costs of falling input efficiency to farmers (Walker & Young, 1986; Bremen et al., 2001).”
- Agricultural production and soil nutrient mining in Africa: implications for resource conservation and policy development. (2006, background): “This has caused depletion of soil fertility, which is becoming a significant biophysical cause of low per capita food production in the Sahelian and other regions in Africa (Pieri, 1989; Rabbinge, 1995; Breman et al., 2001; Sanchez, 2002).”
- Risk analysis and economic viability of water harvesting for supplemental irrigation in semi-arid Burkina Faso and Kenya (2005, background): “In addition, research indicates that soil nutrient deficiency is often equally or more limiting to crop growth than water in semi-arid farming systems (Klaij and Vachaud, 1992; Breman et al., 2001; Fox and Rockstr€ om, 2003).”
