Sustainable intensification in African agriculture (2011, background): “Such fodder (perennial legumes, shrubs and grasses) has been carefully introduced into the typically small farms of East Africa in such a way that maize production has not been negatively affected, and now some 200,000 farmers cultivate new fodder crops.”
Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, background): “In some cases, biological control agents have been introduced where pesticides were not being used at all, or habitat design has led to effective pest and disease management (Royal Society, 2009; Khan et al., 2011).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “…in Africa Researchers worked in East Africa for the last 15 years to develop an agroecological pest-management solution for stem borers and striga weed, two major pests of maize and sorghum, crops on which millions of the poorest people in eastern and southern Africa rely (Khan et al. 2011).”
