The crop-fallow cycle is currently being disrupted by increasing population pressure and demand for land. Fallow periods have become shorter, raising the prospect that this practice may eventually disappear. Alternative methods to fallow land have been proposed. The objective of the "Fallow Land" project (1994-2003) was to carry out a program to study, improve, and manage fallow land at the village level in tropical African countries. The aim was to integrate the crop-fallow cycle-or alternative practices to fallow where it has disappeared-into a sustainable development strategy. The results of the Fallow Project have been the subject of numerous scientific and technical publications. A "peer review" was conducted to identify findings that could be transferred to rural settings and to examine the conditions for such transfer. This document summarizes these agro-sylvo-pastoral research findings obtained in five West African countries: Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Senegal. Thus, the conditions and processes of innovation in sub-Saharan agriculture were identified.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
