Application of earth observation products for hydrological modeling of the Oum Er Rbia river basin
The increasing water demand over recent decades together with the climate change impacts on water resources lead to a growing shortage of water availability. Investigating and developing novel strategies to assess and ...
Quantification of the Terrestrial Phytomass and Carbon in the Mountainous Forest Ecosystem Using Remote Sensing and In-Situ Observations
The aim of this research was to develop an understanding of how mountainous forests function in relation to forest phytomass and
carbon accumulation in the terrestrial vegetation pools which will help develop options for ...
Assisting smallholder farmers in mixed crop-livestock systems to understand the potential effects of technologies and climate change through participatory modeling
Smallholder farming systems in the semiarid
areas of Zimbabwe are characterized by low production. This low production is not solely
due to lack of technologies but also due to a lack of integrating a diversity of viewpoints ...
Calibration of hydrological models based on remotely sensed soil moisture and evapotranspiration
The increasing water demand over recent decades together with the climate
change impacts on water resources may lead to growing problems with water availability.
Investigating and developing novel strategies to assess and ...
Goat value chains as platform to improve income and food security: the case of imGoats in Inhassaro district, Mozambique
Innovation platforms are increasingly used as spaces for interaction between actors in value chains to overcome barriers to development. It involves continuous learning and capacity building – both in terms of innovation ...
The economics of soil erosion and benefits of sustainable land management in Asia and Africa
The economic costs of soil erosion and associated nutrient loss and benefits of sustainable land management are examined in 44 Asian and 42 African countries using an integrated biophysical and econometric modelling approach ...
Youth groups sheep-fattening entrepreneurship as a springboard to enhancing sustainable farming and livelihoods in Ethiopia
The primary objective of this study was to promote collective entrepreneurship via the formation of sheep fattening groups and cooperatives by public and private engagement co-opted through coordination committees to improve ...
Harnessing Chat GPT (generative pretrained transformer) to engage youth and women in climate-smart and sustainable livestock farming
This literature review on harnessing Chat GPT focusses on how Chat GPT guides youth and women on feed production. least cost formulation, forecasting feed balance. It highlights advances, gaps and opportunities in literature.
Genome Wide Association Mapping of Net Form Net Blotch resistance in Barley reveals multiple disease resistance loci for resistance to biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens
The net form net blotch (NFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) is an emerging barley
disease in several countries. It causes severe yield and quality losses due to infection of leaves, kernels,
and stems. Owing ...
Impact of market reforms on the low rainfall areas in West Asia and North Africa
This paper summarizes results obtained from research activities conducted in the Mashreq/Maghreb Project (M&M). The specific objective is to look at the impact of market liberalization in the context of structural adjustment ...
