Really nice study on mixed crop-livestock systems in semi-arid Zimbabwe: large farm diversity, very low levels of production, and huge scope for targeting interventions. Thanks @FBaudron for leading this study.
🚨📷#JustPublished by @CIMMYT @Cirad @ICRISAT @BiovIntCIAT_eng & @ILRI. We applied an innovative method combining statistical typologies & stochastic frontier analysis to mixed #crop-#livestock systems in #Zimbabwe to target interventions. #OpenAccess 👉

Agronomy matters & big data analytics can inform pathways for sustainable crop intensification in the future - see our new study @NatureComms led by @1996harisankar1. With thanks to @ScalingAgronomy for the support and to @CIMMYT @irri @CornellCALS @icarindia for the partnership.
Combining large-scale surveys & predictive modeling, Nayak et al. identify pathways for achieving rice productivity gains alongside economic & environmental goals. @irri @CornellCALS @ScalingAgronomy @icarindia @RiceIcar @jvasco323 @CIMMYT @1996harisankar1.
