Seasonal and inter-annual variability of soil moisture stress function in dryland wheat field, Australia
It is assumed that the ratio of actual evapotranspiration (AET) to potential evapotranspiration (PET) is mostly controlled by the soil water content available for ET. This control is formulated using the soil moisture ...
Multivariate time series modeling of short-term system scale irrigation demand
Travel time limits the ability of irrigation system operators to react to short-term irrigation demand fluctuations that result from variations in weather, including very hot periods and rainfall events, as well as the ...
Everfarm ® − Climate adapted perennial-based farming systems for dryland agriculture in Southern Australia
Australian dryland agriculture will be affected by climate change in a number of ways. First,
higher temperatures and changes to rainfall are likely to create greater variability of crop
yields and livestock productivity. ...
Value Chains and Diet Quality: A Review of Impact Pathways and Intervention Strategies
Low and middle-income countries increasingly face a triple burden of malnutrition encompassing undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and excessive energy consumption contributing to overweight and obesity. Food systems ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
The Practical Implementation of Conservation Agriculture in the Middle East
This publication is designed to help innovative farmers, machinery manufacturers, extension specialists, and researchers learn more about conservation agriculture (CA) in the Middle East, especially the practicalities of ...
Biofortification through breeding interventions in lentil
Micronutrient deficiency affects more than two billion population worldwide especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The deficiency in human body is commonly described as “hidden hunger” leading to a range of health ...
Farm typology analysis and technology assessment: An application in an arid region of South Asia
The design and diffusion of context-specific technologies is centrally important in the multi-dimensional, complex farming systems in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper uses a mixed-method framework to characterize the ...
Ties that Bind: Australia and ICARDA
Australia has traditionally been a strong supporter of agricultural research, both at home and abroad. Total Australian funding for ICARDA research amounted to US$ 575,000 during the 2001 financial year, a 53% increase ...
A Multi-Model Systems Approach for Identifying Low Emissions Development Pathways– Analyzing Synergies and Trade-offs in Semiarid Agriculture in India
Food security in the face of changing climate has pushed governments and development actors to focus efforts on improving adaptation, however, going forward besides adaptation, mitigation efforts to reduce GHG emissions ...
