Agricultural productivity and growth in Mali are under threat from erratic rainfall, resulting more frequent dry years. The national economy is vulnerable to climate change due 50% of the gross domestic product coming agricultural sector 75% population living rural areas. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) concept arises a need provide innovative solutions towards complex integrated goals increasing yields, improving resilience, promoting low emissions sector. A major challenge for policymakers...
Connecting science with policy has always been challenging for both scientists and policymakers. In Ghana, Mali Senegal, multi-stakeholder national science-policy dialogue platforms on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) were setup to use scientific evidence create awareness of climate change impacts advocate the mainstreaming CSA into agricultural development plans. Based platforms' operations achievements, we used semi-structured questionnaire interviews reviewed technical reports produced by...
Cereal-cowpea intercropping has become an integral part of the farming system in Mali. Still, information is lacking regarding integrated benefits whole system, including valuing biomass for facing constraints animal feedings. We used farmers’ learning networks to evaluate performance systems millet-cowpea and sorghum-cowpea southern Our results showed that under intercropping, grain yield obtained with wilibali (short maturing duration) variety was significantly higher than sangaranka (long...
Abstract Small-scale, rain-fed subsistence agriculture and pastoralism represent the major activity for Africa. For Mali, this represents about 80% of population employed by agricultural sector contributes to 42% Gross domestic product (GDP). The overreliance on rainfall, competing most valuable lands, increasing scarcity water, lack innovative technologies infrastructure has made vulnerable climatic non-climatic risks including an increase in number land conflicts. In addition, inadequate...
A participatory plant breeding project has been initiated to understand the poor adoption of improved varieties pearl millet in soudano-Guinean zone Mali. prospection and a diagnostic cultivars was carried out 5 villages Sikasso region 2007. trial comprised two planting dates (18 June 16 July 2007) at agricultural station Sotuba. The cycles 29 local were measured. All tested photosensitive. Their decreased with delayed planting. new proposed farmers are early-maturing type. researchers...

The international scientific conference on genetic resource management in savanna zones of West Africa, organized Bamako from 15 to 18 May 2007, attracted an audience researchers and farmers (a third the audience) accompanied by NGO technicians. Three roundtables were organized. aims give floor producers encouraging exchanges differing points view between members brainstorm learning around three themes. This paper examines major which interventions parts. first concerns methodology depicts...
