- W1711558369 abstract "The paper reviews the role of forage crops in improving the productivity of smallholder farming systems and breaking the cycle of poverty and resource degradation. It reviews the contributions of forage crops to increasing farm incomes, intensifying farm production, and contributing to better human nutrition. Several case studies are presented, including mucuna in Central America and West Africa, the forage peanut in Colombia, a forage legume in China, forage crops in Costa Rica and the production of forage crop seed in Bolivia. The paper also describes a strategy for farmer participatory research for identifying suitable forage crops in Southeast Asia. Research findings • Improved forages in pastures help increase land use efficiency. • High-yielding cut-and-carry systems enhance year-round animal productivity and reduce labour requirements. • Leguminous forages used as cover crops can reduce weeding costs and lower the need for chemical fertiliser. • The introduction of improved legumes and grasses can help reclaim severely degraded lands. Policy implications • Research needs to emphasise market opportunities for rural poverty reduction, and livestock production can play an important role. • Forages are a versatile resource and more research is needed to identify appropriate species for different farming systems. • Participatory approaches are essential for developing forage crop options for smallholders." @default.
