The impact of site-specific soil-test-based extension advice on farm management in Malawi
Open AccessChristone J Nyondo, Joyce Minofu et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2025Cited by: 1
Rotational complexity increases cropping system output under poorer growing conditions
Open AccessK Ann Bybee‐Finley, Katherine Muller et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024
Growing multiple crops in rotation can increase the sustainability of agricultural systems and reduce risks from increasingly adverse weather. However, widespread adoption of diverse rotations is limited by economic uncertainty, lack of incentives, and limited information about long-term outcomes. Here, we combined 36,000 yield observations from 20 North American long-term cropping experiments (434 site-years) to assess how greater crop diversity…

Strategies Steering Intensification Pathways of Farmers in Central Malawi
Open AccessCarl J Timler, J C J Groot et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2023
Smallholder farmers face many challenges to improve their livelihoods and food security. Intensification of agricultural production can help to achieve these goals. Yet farmers are highly heterogenous in their strategies towards intensification, potentially following unsustainable intensification pathways. Using Q Methodology, we ascertain different strategies regarding farm improvement and intensification of smallholder farmers in the Dedza and …

Spatially differentiated nitrogen supply is key in a global food–fertilizer price crisis
Open AccessSieglinde S Snapp, Tek B Sapkota et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Cited by: 2References: 4
A regional geopolitical conflict and sudden massive supply disruptions have revealed vulnerabilities in our global fuel–fertilizer–food nexus. As nitrogen (N) fertilizer price spikes threaten food security, differentiated responses are required to maintain staple cereal yields across over- and underfertilized agricultural systems. Through integrated management of organic and inorganic N sources in high- to low-input cereal production systems, we …
Research priorities for global food security under extreme events
Open AccessZia Mehrabi, Ruth Delzeit et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022
Extreme events, such as those caused by climate change, economic or geopolitical shocks, and pest or disease epidemics, threaten global food security. The complexity of causation, as well as the myriad ways that an event, or a sequence of events, creates cascading and systemic impacts, poses significant challenges to food systems research and policy alike. To identify priority food security risks and research opportunities, we asked experts from …
The relationship between farmer demographics, social identity and tillage behavior

The role of active soil carbon in influencing the profitability of fertilizer use
Open AccessJudith Chamberlin, T S Jayne et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021
We use recent plot‐level panel data from Tanzanian smallholder farmers to investigate maize yield responses to inorganic fertilizer under variable soil carbon conditions. Unlike many prior studies which consider total carbon measurements, we focus on active soil carbon, which is a component strongly related to key soil functions, such as nutrient cycling and availability. Active soil carbon is found to be a strong predictor of maize yield respons…
Nitrogen efficiency by soil quality and management regimes on Malawi farms
Open AccessWilliam Burke, William J Burke et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2021Cited by: 4References: 7
Maize is the primary economic and dietary staple crop for most poor farmers in Southern Africa, yet low yields have persisted in the region for decades. Intensifying maize production in a sustainable way using the same land will be increasingly important as virgin land becomes scarcer and fallowing becomes less common. This study investigates the sustainability of intensification underway in the African smallholder sector using a uniquely detaile…
Documentation of farmer perceptions and site‐specific properties to improve soil management on smallholder farms in Tanzania
Open AccessAlison Nord, Sieglinde S Snapp et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2020
Identifying sustainable land management practices within smallholder agriculture is a challenge. This is partly driven by the challenge of documenting farmers' perspectives and practices in an integrated manner with site‐specific scientific soil assessment. Smartphone applications such as LandPKS provide new approaches to quantify site‐specific soil degradation and fertility but are untested with African farm management. We surveyed 578 household…

A Multiscalar Approach to Mapping Marginal Agricultural Land
Brad G Peters, B G Peter et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2018References: 48
Marginal agricultural lands are defined here by suboptimal biophysical conditions and historically variable or low agricultural production. We characterize these areas using remotely sensed information to disentangle the biophysical and possible social factors driving marginality. Considering both the modifiable areal unit problem and the ecological fallacy problem, the heuristic we propose is generalizable across geographies and scales and provi…
