Intensive silvopastoral systems (ISS) typically farm livestock, often cattle, using intensively programmed rotational systems. In subtropical regions, silvopastoral systems may be conducted using a leguminous understory (e.g. leucaena) as a fodder crop. These systems are land-use efficient, producing livestock, livestock feed, trees, timber and ecosystems services in the same landscape, while also conducive to high animal welfare. Evidence suggests that ISS have considerable production benefits and greenhouse gas emissions

*Position Title: *PhD in Empowering Phosphorous and Smart irrigation Role
in building Climate-Smarter Agriculture in Africa

*Description:*

Climate change already affects agricultural productivity, especially of
poor smallholder farmers. On the African continent scale, only 6% of
agricultural land is currently irrigated. In the years to come, the demand
for water in African agriculture will continue to grow to support the
increase in productivity. Input’s supply is a key factor for increased
agricultural productivity; fertilizers, as one of the main agricultural
inputs, plays important role in tackling climate change in addition to
improving the farming value chain.
