While there has been progress in our understanding of the origin and history agriculture sub-Saharan Africa, a unified perspective is still lacking on where how major crops were domesticated region. Here, we investigated domestication African yam (Dioscorea rotundata), key crop early agriculture. Using whole-genome resequencing statistical models, show that cultivated was from forest species. We infer expansion started Niger River basin. This result, alongside with origins rice pearl millet,...
Cattle farming is directly impacted by climate change (CC), as it utilizes resources whose seasonality and productivity are strongly climate-dependent. Farmers respond to the negative influence of CC implementing different adaptation strategies, where choices informed many factors. This study aims at analyzing strategies cattle farmers in dry tropical zone (DTZ) sub-humid (STZ) Benin with regard change, well determinants for choice these strategies. For that matter, 360 were surveyed. Data...
Abstract This article estimates how storage losses from mold, insects, and other pests, combined with liquidity constraints, influence a smallholder farm household's decision to store maize on after harvest. We analyze panel data 309 smallholders in Benin covering the 2011 2013 harvest seasons. Results suggest that are driven sell at time for different reasons, depending their motivation storing. In households report direct consumption as primary goal storing maize, not losses, reduce amount...
La faible capacité de résilience certaines catégories sociales les rend plus vulnérables au changement climatique. Ces développent des mécanismes d’adaptation pour réduire leur vulnérabilité. L’étude vise à analyser la vulnérabilité populations climatique afin d’appréhender développés par Nord-Bénin. L’âge, le sexe, moyens et modes d’existence, activités économiques, évènements climatiques, pratiques nature, cetera ont été collectés dans village Woria (Tchaourou) lors assemblées...
Clonal propagation is a particular reproductive system found in both the plant and animal kingdoms, from human parasites to clonally propagated crops. diversity provides information about evolutionary history, i.e. how clones spread, or age of clone. In plants, this could provide valuable agrobiodiversity dynamics more broadly history crop. We studied yam, Dioscorea rotundata. Africa, Yam cultivated by tuber clonal propagation.We used 12 microsatellite markers identify intra-clonal yam...
Une fausse perception du changement climatique peut entraîner une absence d’adaptation ou mauvaise adaptation, augmentant ainsi la vulnérabilité à ce changement. Cependant très peu d’études se sont intéressées cette question, surtout chez les éleveurs. Cette étude compare des éleveurs de bovins zones tropicales sèche et subhumide Bénin avec données climatiques 40 dernières années. À cet effet, 360 ont été interrogés dans ces zones. Les collectées relatives aux caractéristiques...
Women economic potential can be used to reduce household's food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. This study analyzed the influence of gender on security through income North-Benin. We selected 300 households using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected questionnaire during direct interviews. included households' socioeconomic characteristics, their experiences-based Food Insecurity Scale, women and men level. descriptive statistics generalized structural equation modeling. The...
L'utilisation accrue des pesticides chimiques couplée au boom agricole à laquelle on assiste ces dernières années soulève interrogations sur la vulnérabilité ressources naturelles, en particulier les hydrologiques zones cotonnières du Bénin. Cette étude vise analyser pratiques de gestion agricoles l'échelle « paysan » afin comparer aux normes recommandées. Les données analysées ont été collectées dans commune Gogounou auprès cent cinquante (150) producteurs tous répartis six (6) villages. Il...
Maize is the most important cereal in Sub Saharan Africa; however, yields are significantly lower than those possible with improvements cultivars and management. breeding programs need to produce material improved resistance increasing environmental stresses incorporate man women farmer preferred traits that relate yield, postharvest, nutritional, processing qualities. This research uses gender-disaggregated data recorded during participatory on-farm maize trials by Stress Tolerant Program...
Since the Convention on Biological Diversity, evaluation of varietal richness and its inherent management practices have become prerequisite tasks for in situ conservation. The participative method we are implementing Sori village (Benin) cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L) is consistant with such expectations. Basing estimation landrace their local names, approach used this study made it possible to inventory 14 landraces Sori. Ten mega-practices contributing maintaining and/or enhancing pool were...
This study aimed at contributing to the sustainable management of yam (Dioscorea sp.) diversity. It was carried out in northern Benin on 220 farms and 8 villages. The main hypothesis considers that varietal diversity is influenced by ethnic market. Results show remains high with 182 landraces observed fields. underlines major role cultivation practices socio-cultural determinants depend history each group. In relationship this point, Bariba, Nago Gando, who have cultivated yams since...
Soil degradation and low crop productivity negatively affect the food security of smallholder farmers in West Africa. Various agricultural techniques have been developed as components interventions, but their effectiveness addressing insecurity part depends upon farmers’ abilities to adopt these techniques. In this paper we present results a social network analysis that tracked flow information on fertilizer microdosing from our Project Research team (PRs) Demonstration Farmers (DFs), DFs...

<p>Various agricultural techniques have been developed as components of food security interventions, but their effectiveness in addressing insecurity part depends upon the these fulfilling farmers’ objectives. This paper presents results research that examined constraints limit adoption microdosing by farmers northwest Benin. The farmer field trials indicate on average, produced lower yields and proved less profitable than recommended levels. In addition to reduced profitability,...
The advice to family farms is increasingly considered as a promising alternative in West Africa where the Training and Visits System has been cornerstone of extension systems since 1980s. This paper presents comparative analysis between for based on Benin experience. With regard its principles approach, many similarities with which widely accepted directing system. Future criticisms against farm enterprises developing countries may be similar those Visits.
