Chickpea is one of the most important food grains in the diets of Ethiopian
people. Ethiopia is the largest producer of chickpea in Africa, and the sixth
largest producer in the world, with over 200,000 hectares under ...

Adapatbility of vetch (Vicia spp)
The farming system of the North Gondar zone is predominantly a crop– livestock mixed farming system; Most ruminant livestock in the zone rely on the local grasses and crop residues for their roughage and much of their ...
Using magnetite tracer to evaluate a novel plot experimental design for the assessment of soil and water conservation impacts of stone bunds in Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian highlands the removal of native forests and rangelands for crop cultivation dramatically increased
the vulnerability of the soils for rainfall driven soil erosion. Overlaid with intensive rainfalls occurring ...
Assessment of forest cover change and its environmental imacts using multi-temporal and multi-spectral satellite images
Ethiopia has a large number of species of flora and fauna in general and forest resources in particular with a significant rate of endemism. Ethiopian forest cover once was 40 per cent of the country’s land area. Reduction ...
Stove-For-Work: An Approach to Reduce Vulnerability to CC and Improve Livelihoods
