Role of climate change awareness in sustainable soil nutrient management by smallholder farms in Burkina Faso
Climate change effects are threats to the livelihood of Sub-Saharan smallholder farms. Farmers’
response and readiness to take adaptive measures depend on how they perceive (perception) and
moreover understand and recognize ...
A framework for priority-setting in climate smart agriculture research
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted as an approach for reorienting agricultural development under the realities of climate change. Prioritising research-for-development activities is crucial, given the need ...
Investing in resilience: addressing climate-induced displacement in the MENA region
Climate change threatens the viability of agriculture, ecosystems, and rural livelihoods in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In a region where agriculture is a critical source of employment and income, environmental ...
Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP): A new approach for economically sustainable pollinator protection in Low and Middle Income Countries
Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP; Christmann and Aw-Hassan 2012; Christmann et al. 2017) is a new agricultural approach protecting pollinators and predators without rewards for farmers. The farmers get higher net ...
Genome Wide Association Mapping of Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Barley Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) in India
Barley stripe rust is caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei, (Psh), occurs worldwide, and is a major disease in South Asia. The aim of this work was to identify and estimate effects of loci underlying quantitative ...

Adoption level, yield and constraints in Indian barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivation: Insights from baseline data for identifying livelihood prospects
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important nutritious cereal in India with growing demand for malt preparation, brewing and food industries. Over years, declining acreage along with distorted production becomes a major ...
Legume-maize rotation or relay? Options for ecological intensification of smallholder farms in the Guinea Savanna of northern Ghana
Soil nutrient constraints coupled with erratic rainfall have led to poor crop yields and occasionally to crop failure in sole cropping in the Guinea savanna of West Africa. We explored different maize-grain legume ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A promising Climate-Smart Practice for Dryland Agriculture
Supplemental irrigation - the addition of
limited amounts of water to essentially
rainfed crops to improve and stabilize
yields when rainfall fails to provide
sufficient moisture for normal plant
growth - is an effective ...
