Strategies help farmers cope with climate change. استراتيجيات تساعد المزارعين على التكيف مع التغير المناخي
This project aims to make research results rapidly available to resource-poor farmers and policy makers. This will help them better understand climate change and how to deal with it, and give them access to a range of ...
Seed networks help farmers to boost crop yields. شبكات البذار تساعد المزارعين على زيادة غلات المحاصيل
This project aims to improve food security in Palestine by helping farmers to access seed that provides high crop yields under harsh local conditions. It works with farmers to produce, conserve, and improve locally adapted ...
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 ...
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.
Middle East Water and Livelihoods Initiative (WLI)
This will ensure more sustainable ecosystems and improved rural livelihoods. Emphasis is given to building on local knowledge by using existing data, social capital, research linkages, partnerships and proven methodologies ...
ICARDA-European Commission partnership (1990-2011)
This brief highlights cooperation between the European Commission and ICARDA for programs over the past two decades to improve food security and the livelihoods of rural populations in the world’s dry areas.
Eco - physiological behaviour of two woody oak species to combat desertification in the east Mediterranean-a case study from Lebanon
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios as well as other global assessments have revealed that factors like climate change, land use changes, biotic interferences and atmospheric CO2 will be the major drivers of ...
QTLs for chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in barley under post-flowering drought
Drought is one of the major factors limiting barley yields in many developing countries worldwide. The identification of molecular markers linked to genes controlling drought tolerance in barley is one way to improve ...
Rehabilitation and Integrated Management of Dry Rangelands Environments with Water Harvesting
The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate ...
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 ...
