1. Cooking banana farming system in rural Uganda : a comparison between agroforestry systems and non agroforestry systems
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologySammanfattning : The demand for food, feed, fibre and fuel has increased in Uganda over the past 50 years due to population growth. Recurring extreme climate events such as drought and flooding, in combination with large-scale land degradation, have led to declining crop yields. Lack of equipment, money and socio-economic issues has contributed to low yields. LÄS MER
2. Soil carbon in small-holder plantain farms, Uganda : a comparison between agroforestry and non-agroforestry
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : Smallholder farmers in Uganda suffer from declining productivity.

4. The influence of water proximity on land cover, tree species and tree funtionalities in a small-holder agroforestry system : a minor field study in Trans Nzoia County, NW Kenya
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : A large and rapidly growing population in Kenya together with increasing demands put heavy pressure on the country’s resources.

5. Demand and perception of fertilizer : among small-holder farmers in Kenya
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : Hunger is a problem in some parts of the world (www, FAO 1, 2012). The lack of food is often a result of insufficient knowledge in soil fertility management (Röing de Nowina, 2012). Ongoing hunger and malnourishment are quite prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa and are often combined with poverty (www, FAO 1, 2012). LÄS MER
