Drylands cover some 40% of the world’s land area and contain some of the most severely degraded landscapes on Earth. They are also home to a third of the world’s population including a disproportionate number of the poorest people, along with unique ecosystems and biodiversity. And these issues are more acute in Africa than in any other continent. This compilation of knowledge on dryland restoration focuses on the Sahel and the Greater Horn of Africa where levels of poverty, land degradation and out-migration are acute. It collates 36 contri- butions, including interviews from distinguished experts, and many examples of success and hope. These include long-term analyses of remarkable increases in tree cover and improved agricultural yields over large areas of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Senegal that have never before been pub- lished, examples of landscape restoration in Ethiopia, and related experiences from Cameroon, Djibouti, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. This work provides new insights into what has led to the clear successes in these regions, summarizes the 'top ten' key findings, and recommends pointers to progress. Large-scale projects have played a role, private sector investments are limited but expanding, but the overriding story is that farmer and community-led initiatives are the main driver of dryland restoration at scale, and at low cost. Simple water harvesting techniques and natural regeneration, combined with locally-managed control over resources have been rapidly adapted and adopted. Key factors to this include bylaws made with and enforced by local institutions and communities, the inclusion of women and youth, and effective national and international policy support. If the global community are to meet the ambitious commitments by African countries to Land Degradation Neutrality targets, the Bonn Challenge, the African Forest Landscape Initiative and the Great Green Wall amongst others, there

Agroforestry may improve food security by increasing soil fertility, crop production, and livelihoods. Agroforestry simulation models can be useful for predicting the effects of tree management on crop growth when designing modifications to these systems. The Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) agroforestry tree-proxy model was used to simulate the response of maize yield to N fertilizer applications and tree pruning practices in the parkland agroforestry system in the Central Rift Valley, Ethiopia. The model was parameterized and tested using data collected from an experiment conducted under trees and in crop-only plots during the 2015 and 2016 growing seasons. The treatments contained three levels of tree pruning (100% pruned, 50% pruned, and unpruned) as 1 the main plots, and N fertilizers were applied to maize at two rates (9 or 78 kg N ha− ) as sub-plots.

A lot of the contacts, information about Burkina Faso and support were given to us by Anders Andén and Olle Wendt who are friends with our supervisor in Yaho. The major part of the work on this thesis has been performed in Burkina Faso and in the village Yaho. We are very grateful that we were given the opportunity to combine studies with getting to know the friendly and generous Burkinabé and their country. The Mayor of Yaho as well our local supervisor Zounkata Tuina has been encouraging in our work and arranged all practicalities whenever needed.

  • Biochar and Climate Change
    Biochar and climate change Standard Note: SN/SC/5144 Last updated: 03 September 2009 Author: Oliver Bennett, Environment Specialist Section Science and Environment Summary • This note briefly introduces biochar as a measure to tackle climate change. • Biochar is created by burning organic material to produce a charcoal-like substance. • When buried in soil the carbon contained within biochar may be isolated from the atmosphere for long periods. • Some commentators believe that biochar will have an extremely important role in reducing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases—helping to avoid dangerous climate change and improving agricultural productivity. • Other commentators believe that the benefits are overstated and that there could be negative environmental impacts. • Some countries are seeking biochar mitigation to be included in the international climate change framework being negotiated in 2009.
