Crop diversification is one way of improving the profitability small-scale irrigation schemes. The 25 de Setembro scheme an ideal site to analyze diversification, as it influenced by markets in Maputo and South Africa. This study uses information gathered from observations, discussions with irrigators irrigator survey. Results identified seven types different crop strategies predominantly resource constraints. Most produce traditional crops, although there are opportunities for growing crops...
Abstract Calling on the concept of environmental justice in its distributive, procedural and recognition dimensions, we implemented a coelaborative scenario building approach to explore sustainable livelihoods pathways four sites belonging two Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) southern Africa. Grounded participation transdisciplinarity, as foundation for decolonised anticipatory action research, aimed at stimulating knowledge exchange providing insights future local engaging experts...
Bridging the water infrastructure gap has become a major policy concern. In rural areas of Africa, access to is as much constrained by territorial coverage it poor conditions points due difficulty in mobilizing communities for repairs. This paper examines equity considerations and sanitation programme district Mozambique, their impacts on achievement programme's objectives. Our analysis underlines contradictions conceptualization design, planning implementation programme. Even an explicitly...
Abstract Boosting the productivity of smallholder farming systems continues to be a major need in Africa. Challenges relating how improve irrigation are multi‐factor and multisectoral, they involve broad range actors who must interact reach decisions collectively. We provide systematic reflection on findings from research project EAU4Food, which adopted transdisciplinary approach for food security five case studies Ethiopia, Mali, Mozambique, South Africa Tunisia. The EAU4Food experiences...
Abstract Large‐scale irrigation schemes, which are often developed in flood plains, overvalue technical expertise and the control of natural hazards particularly vulnerable to flooding, but there has been limited study on impact floods functioning. Using a transdisciplinary approach Chokwe Irrigation Scheme during 2013 post‐flood recovery period, we analysed flooding scheme with focus maintenance. We argue that crisis provided windows opportunity reconsider maintenance procedures by...
Summary Africa has managed to conserve an exceptional mammal diversity but is also facing increasing demand for agricultural land address a booming human population. Conserving natural resources while producing food in landscapes challenge that requires ecosystem health and social-ecological systems thinking. A logo of the company Pro SuLi.

ABSTRACT Improving the performance and, therefore, profitability of expensive irrigation schemes is only possible with dissemination innovations for irrigated crop systems. As a social issue, technical can be examined from different points view, e.g., agronomists are studying how references proposed by research changed into agricultural practices. Working case study based on analysis establishment phase rice systems in Lake Alaotra, Madagascar, we show action models used to explain...
We describe how three models, for sustainable change, human agency in collective resource management, and socio-environmental systems, have been used to design a protocol the tools large scale (1500 participants, 35 villages) multi-level participatory process held Africa Integrated Natural Resource Management, through European Project Afromaison.The especially combines common action model support proposals by stakeholders, an integration matrix build coherent plans, role playing game...
Abstract In large‐scale irrigation schemes built in flood plains the state of drainage systems not only affects performance but also quality life population. However, maintenance infrastructure is often neglected. This paper draws from two transdisciplinary interventions dealing with Chokwe Irrigation Scheme Mozambique: one tested an experimental intervention that called on farmers and experts to solve local issues. The other used a participatory mapping, modelling simulation approach...
To address the challenges associated with under-utilised smallholder irrigation schemes located in former homeland areas South Africa, strategic partnerships between black farmers and white, established commercial have been implemented by Limpopo Provincial Department of Agriculture since 2000s. This article aims to explain adoption, then resilience over time, this policy instrument, despite its failure meet objectives. We first demonstrate that instruments rarely result from an objective...

The development of mega-cities exerts an increasing pressure on water resources in their peri-urban areas. Rapid changes land use these areas, characterised by the specific hydrologic functions they provide for city, has resulted increased pressures availability and quality. In past, traditional dual (urban/rural) focus institutions, preference sectorial legislation, end-to-pipe technological responses have not been able to deal with tensions metropolitan region Sao Paulo, context high...
