Food and income contributions of root, tuber, and banana crops in South-Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Root, tuber, and banana (RTB) crops are key staples that support food and income security for smallholder farmers in South-Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This study explored the production, consumption, and trade dynamics of RTB crops in South-Kivu using a survey of 626 farming households, selected through random sampling across diverse agro-ecological zones (AEZs), and secondary data from the Provincial Inspectorate of Agricul…
How Visible Are the Valley Slopes in the City? A Viewshed Analysis in the Urban Agglomeration of Liège
Valley slope is a cultural and ecological resource of many cities that has gained attention in recent decades. Even if valley slopes are the background of numerous cities, they are scarcely considered by viewshed analysis. In urban areas, the focus is on the visibility of individual biotic or abiotic elements, such as trees or buildings, assessing the impact of isolated components rather than understanding the place’s topography. This contributio…
Climate-smart agronomic practices and their appraisal among smallholder sorghum farmers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo wetlands
Utilizing scientometric analysis to evaluate indicators of quality research at the institutional level
The recognition and reputation of scientists and academic institutions are well-established in the field of scientometrics. However, these aspects face criticism in regions with limited information access and considered underdeveloped. In this study, we aimed to discuss the research performance of young universities (YU) in these challenging contexts. Despite financial, socio-economic, and political struggle, research in these YU has not stagnate…
Utilization of non-timber forest products as alternative sources of food and income in the highland regions of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
In developing countries, studies on sustainable preservation of forests (including non-timber forest products NTFPs) have been poorly carried out for promoting alternative income generating activities (IGA) to alleviate pressure on praised resources by local communities living close by protected areas. This study aimed at (1) inventorying NTFPs exploited by local communities around the Kahuzi Biega National Park (KBNP), (2) assessing their therap…
Forest cover affects gully expansion at the tropical watershed scale
This study aimed at assessing the land use and land cover change and its effect on the gully expansion in an agricultural and woodland tropical watershed. We used the case study of Luzinzi watershed in South-Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where gullies are in development. We used very high-resolution (VHR) images downloaded from Google Earth and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) images. ArcGIS 10.7 software helped for spatial analy…
Suitability for agroforestry implementation around Itombwe Natural Reserve (RNI), eastern DR Congo
The choice of appropriate land use suitability based on specific environmental and socio-economic factors could ensure sustainable land resource management in rural areas. Different land use suitability assessment approaches exist and have been successfully applied for agroforestry systems, natural or semi-natural ecosystems. In this study, different land use suitability levels for agroforestry were assessed around the Itombwe Natural Reserve (RN…
