Guidelines for Facilitating Women’s adoption of Improved Cereal Varieties in Sex-segregated Cultures
Women in the Global South play significant roles in farming but face inequalities in access to resources, land and extension support (3,4,5). Their roles in farming cereals, often perceived as male crops, are especially ...
Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN and LAC Countries – Project Progress Report: Year I - April 2018 to March 2019
The CLCA project goal is to sustainably increase production and enhance climate resilience of small farmers’ communities and their crop-livestock production systems in drylands. To develop in participation with smallholder ...
Seed Info no. 57
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication between seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Where in the value chain are we losing the most food? The case of wheat in Jordan
Efforts to increase global food supply through increased productivity and intensity of cropping are well documented. However, the literature on measurement of food losses and wastage and techniques to reduce them is scanty. ...
Collaborative work of ICARDA on climate-resilient technologies for improved land and water productivity in Central Asia
Presentation on collaborative work of ICARDA on climate-resilient technologies for improved land and water productivity in Central Asia.
Multi-dimensional evaluation of response to salt stress in wheat
Soil salinity is a major threat to crop production worldwide. The global climate change is further accelerating the process of soil salinization, particularly in dry areas of the world. Increasing genetic variability of ...
Developing new wheat varieties tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses to improve food security under climate change in Central Asia
Presentation on "Developing new wheat varieties tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses to improve food security under climate change in Central Asia"
Global Journeys of Adaptive Wheat Genes
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is grown across a wide range of environments having been selected in part for a complex of genes controlling adaptive response. As a major determinant of crop yield, adaptation is central ...
Wheat-mungbean crop rotation improves soil health and increases income on small farms in Uzbekistan
Long-term adoption of cotton-wheat and wheat-wheat crop rotations is an important constraint to soil
health in Central Asia. Crop diversification by including leguminous crops in crop rotation can help
improve soil health ...
Raised-Bed Farming System Technology (RFST) in Egypt: Qualities and Determinants of Adoption in Different Agricultural Livelihood Conditions.
Mechanized raised-bed technology (MRBT) has been recognized as an important component of integrated water management to achieve higher productivity in intensive irrigated systems, such as those found in the Nile Delta. ...
