Implications of sustainable agricultural intensification for family farming in Africa: anthropological perspectives
In this paper, we will explore the ways in which sustainable intensification interventions

the underlying social, political and environmental contexts that affect farmers’ land-use
decisions. While there are numerous initiatives to promote a Green Revolution for Africa,
many tend to be dominated by technical fixes that fail to understand rural farmers’ condi

Implications of trends in land use change for livestock systems evolution in East Africa: lessons from the LUCID project
This report summarizes over 20 years of research on land use change patterns and processes in case study sites across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to provide information on the evolution of livestock in the systems. Many of the case study sites cross-ecological gradients, from the Highlands to the lowland savannas, and offer a glimpse of how the mixed crop–livestock, the agro-pastoral and the pastoral systems have evolved in relation to each other.

Implicit prices of indigenous cattle traits in central Ethiopia: Application of revealed and stated preference approaches
The diversity of animal genetic resources has a quasi-public good nature that makes market prices inadequate indicator of its economic worth. Applying the characteristics theory of value, this research estimated the relative economic worth of the attributes of cattle genetic resources in central Ethiopia. Transaction level data were collected over four seasons in a year and choice experiment survey was done in five markets to generate data on both revealed and stated preferences of cattle buyers. Heteroscedasticity efficient estimation and
