Conservation of blue/green water resources for intensification
Water scarcity is one of the major factor for low crop productivity in rainfed semi-arid tropics (SAT). Studies have indicated that one or two lifesaving irrigations can substantially enhance crop productivity. Enhancing ...
Implementation report on Cropping system intensification and resilience building
Cropping system intensification and resilience building
Farm typology specific intensification and diveriscation options including agro-silvi-horticulture with traditional rainwater harvesting systems
Based on farm typology analysis integrated farming system interventions were prioritized in participatory mode. A total six large agri horti units has been established and linked with RWHS (Rain water harvesting structures) ...
Diversification for Income and Nutrition
Low productivity and cultivation of low-value crops in the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is major cause for poor farm-based livelihoods. In this scenario, proper nutrition for children and women is also a rampant problem ...
Fodder resource development
Most of the farmers engaged in crop cultivation in semi-arid tropics (SAT) also rear cattle which is a major source of income. However, due to inadequate and low nutritious fodder resources, cattle productivity is very ...
Report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
Preliminary report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
Climate variability risk analysis, WUE and NUE for cropping systems based on historical as well as future climate change scenarios
Water is the most crucial input for agricultural production. Globally, agriculture accounts for more than 80% of all freshwater used by humans, most of that is for crop production. Currently most of the water used to grow ...
Harnessing green/blue water for agricultural intensification/diversification
Harnessing green water and blue water and Farm typology specific intensification and diversification options (like crops for Rainy season fallows, horticulture, etc)
NRM and institutional options for sustainable management of silvipasture systems on community and private lands for enhanced eco-system services
A key component of this project is the capacity development of all concerned stakeholders. In particular agro-pastoral communities with emphasis on woman. Research activity is developed with community involvement to insure ...
