Index-based insurance for income stabilization for smallholder farms in Central Asia
Climate change is one of the major challenges for agricultural producers worldwide. In Central Asian countries,
climate-driven irrigation water variability is a major source of risk. Future projections indicate even ...
Delivery FAIR Impact in agricultural and Food Security
In recent years research and development organizations aligned with donors and own frameworks for accountability. Such frameworks embedded indicators to ensure measurement of impacts. However the availability of impact ...
Tracking the dynamics of paddy rice planting areas through analysis of time series Landsat images
Paddy rice agriculture affects food supply, climate, water, biodiversity, and ecosystems. It varies substantially over time and space, for example, continuous expansion in northeastern China and rapid loss in southern China ...
Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
Development of Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan
The main objective of this study is to introduce the first consistent long term land cover database for Jordan. The Jordan National Land Cover Database (JNLCD) consists of four land cover maps for the years 1984, 1991, ...
Remote Sensing for Inclusive Agro-Ecosystems and Development Alternatives for Sustainable Living
Inclusive agricultural development by reducing yield and nutritional gaps while safeguarding the ecosystem health and services is the keystone action for overall development for sustainable living. However, information on ...
Quantification of cropping pattern and productivity of agro-ecosystems in Central Asia
Agricultural production systems in Central Asia have been evolving in response to changes in climate, land use and policies. The cropping pattern and productivities of irrigated and rainfed agro-ecosystems as well as grazing ...
Geoinformatics and Genetic Resources under Changing Climate
Each species requires minimum/optimum area for its survival, evolution and gene exchange. Analysis of
habitat condition, function, composition, fragmentation, patchiness, interspersion and juxtaposition has an
impact on ...
Spatial big data analytics for sustainable intensification of pulse crops in South Asia
Sustainable intensification has become a foremost goal of agricultural research and development in the
recent years. The mono-crop based production systems in South Asia retains nearly 30 percent of
cultivated area left ...
Exacerbated degradation and desertification of grassland in Central Asia
Grassland desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and
gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies generally did not separate the ...
