Enteric methane production, yield, and intensity in smallholder dairy farming systems in peri-urban areas of coastal West African countries: case study of Benin

Enteric methane (eCH4) is a major environmental pollutant emitted by ruminants. To target mitigation measures, it is necessary to accurately estimate GHG emissions from livestock farming. Until now, milk-producing farms in the peri-urban areas of South Benin are pasture-based systems,...

The role of cross-border transhumance in influencing resident herders’ cattle husbandry practices and use of genetic resources

The cross-border mobility has been shown to play an important role in ensuring the productivity of the transhumant herds through adequate late dry season access to pastoral resources. Yet, its effects on the traditional agro-pastoral production systems that are encountered...

Horizontal flows of nitrogen, potassium, and carbon in urban vegetables gardens of Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

Little is known about matter flows in intensive small scale production systems of urban agriculture in West Africa as an important criterion to assess their sustainability and environmental externalities. This study therefore investigated nutrient management practices in six selected urban...
