Brief on Mechanized Raised Bed Farming System (MRBFS) to Drive a Process for Fertilizer Subsidy Reform in Egypt
Methodology for Assessing Adoption, Efficiency and Impacts of Mechanized Raised Bed Technology
Mechanized raised bed technology (MRBT) has been recognized as an important component of integrated water management to achieve higher productivity in intensive irrigated systems such as in the Nile delta. Effective ...
How to scale-up greywater reuse in Jordan and Egypt
Greywater – wastewater generated by household water use, excluding toilet water – is a potentially valuable resource. Studies show that between 50-70% of the total wastewater produced by a household can be treated and ...
Dynamics of groundwater use in the central part of the Nile Delta
The increasing demand for water resources along with the degradation of water quality due to
urbanization in the Nile Delta have put enormous pressure on water resources management. The
Nile delta aquifer is one of the ...
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 ...
Less water, more food
In Egypt, a desert country that gets almost all its water from the Nile, the scarcity of water has become a challenge in agriculture. Climate change is worsening the problem through rising temperature and loss of agriculture ...
Improving food security and nutrition in Africa
Few regions present bigger development challenges than the African drylands – home to nearly 300 million people, and the vast majority of Africa’s poor. Food security and rural welfare in these areas are limited by a range ...
