Mechanization of transplanting shrubs seedlings and contours laser guiding for Vallerani system
In relevance to the project objectives and expected outputs, the reported research aimed at introducing a mechanized transplanting technique to the WH system to reduce costs and time of establishment of fodder shrubs, thus ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
The use of the microcatchment water harvesting for fodder shrub production
The Badia constitutes about 90% of the total land area of Jordan, which is 89 342 km2. Its average annual rainfall is < 200 mm. The area with annual rainfall of 100–200 mm is considered the promising rangeland for ...
Jordan: In search of new benefit - sharing practices through participatory plant breeding
Of Jordan’s 8.93 million hectares, only 7.8% is arable land. However, the agricultural sector plays an important role through its contribution to national income and employment. Agriculture contributes 7.5% to gross national ...
Rainfed Agriculture and Food Security in Dry Areas
The world’s ability to produce enough food to feed the growing population is further constrained by water scarcity, particularly in dry areas. Water is an increasingly scarce resource and the FAO estimates that nearly 1.8 ...
Selection and Characterization Of the Badia Benchmark research site
How suitable an area is for WH depends on local society, farming practices, and whether the area meets the basic technical requirements of the WH system in question. When planning such systems, appropriate data must be ...
Microcatchment water harvesting systems for fruit trees and shrubs
This report will focus on results of 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons in which the conventional handmade microcatchment was compared to the mechanized one through research done at the Jordan University of Science and Technology site.
Food security in changing Arab environment
The Arab region has the largest food deficit in the world, due to the strained natural resource base and vulnerabilities to climate change implications, which put tremendous pressure on achieving food security. During the ...
