Feedlot systems and sheep dietary imbalance in the Jordan Badia
Sheep and goats’ production is a mainstay of the agricultural production systems in the
Jordan Badia. Overgrazing and poor governance of communal grazing areas are very often
pointed out as being the major causes of the ...
Exploring the Jordanian rangeland status transition merging the restoration experiment with modeling
Due to recurring droughts and severe overgrazing, Jordan’s dry rangelands are exceptionally prone to degradation. Establishing both restoration and sustainable rangeland management practices are crucial to reverse the ...
Managing Scarce Water Resources in Agriculture; Towards a paradigm change
Water scarcity intensifying as many countries with chronic water scarcity, in addition the water for agriculture in dry areas is declining and Climate change adds to the problem.
Catalyzing Adoption of Agricultural Technologies
What do we mean by catalyzing? And why do we need to catalyze it? It is not a natural occurrence….. It doesn’t happen automatically. Change is possible but often difficult especially among farmers. And what we are aiming ...
ICARDA-CASP agreement Goals, progress, next steps
Presentation on ICARDA-CASP agreement Goals, progress and next steps.
Efficiency Change, Technological Progress and Sources of Long Term Agricultural Productivity Growth in Selected MENA Countries
We investigate the factors that affect total factor productivity growth in MENA countries. To this end, we start first by examining levels and trends in agricultural outputs and productivity growth using Torqnovist Indexes ...

The wild ancestral form of Oat, Avena sterilis L., collected from the oat diversity center, is a valuable source for gene enrichment in oat crop improvement. This study is aimed at assessing the extent and the pattern of ...
Farm-Centered Integrated Modelling for the Design of Sustainable Agricultural Systems
Farm modelling has been widely used over the past ten years for the assessment of agricultural systems in face of policy changes, technological innovation, economic and climate changes. Beyond the various modelling methods ...
Modeling Producer Responses with Dynamic Programming: A Case for Adaptive Crop Management
Past research found agricultural producers’ conditional responses during the growing season are important adaptations to weather and other stochastic events. Failing to recognize these responses overstates the risks ...
