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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agro-Ecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate
and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are
highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and
up-to-date information on ...
Assessment of wheat yield gap in Central Asia: Case studies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
Wheat is by far the most important grain cultivated and consumed in Central Asia. It is therefore an important crop for food security in this region. As a result of increased population growth and food demands, sustainable ...
Remote sensing based assessment of the dynamics of crop productivity and spatial production pattern across the Fergana Valley, Central Asia
Agricultural production systems are a vital lifeline of the rural farming community in Central Asia. However, shrinking natural resource base, increased land degradation and severe irrigation water scarcity render current ...
