Efficiency of Crop–Livestock Production Systems Under Conservation Agriculture: Scope for sustainable system transformation to Achieving Food Security in Rain-Fed Drylands of Tunisia
The objective of this study is to evaluate the technical efficiency of farmers engaged in mixed crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture (CLCA) in Tunisian rainfed areas who are using Resource-Conserving ...
North-Africa-ICARDA Partnership on Food Legumes Research for Development: Present Status and Future Strategy
Food legumes are important crops for human food,
animal feed and services for sustainable agriculture.
They are the rich sources of protein and micronutrients,
thus contributing significantly to the health and
nutritional ...
Innovation platform, farmers’ organization and market to empower small farmers benefit from an autochthonous meat sheep value chain under low input production systems
Regional development in Tunisian livestock has been based mainly on segments rather than on an integrated system approach and a value chains concept. Even though efforts were made to improve production, livestock productivity ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
Coping Strategies and Perceived Effects in Response to Climate Shock Exposure: Household resiliency toward food insecurity related to drought in central Tunisian rural communities
Climate change exacerbated droughts by making them more frequent that increased risks of food insecurity faced by rural families in arid areas. Adopting coping mechanisms are necessary to reduce the vulnerability of rural ...
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 ...
Integration of molecular markers and doubled haploids for wheat breeding in the North Africa Region
Wheat is the major staple food crops of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and grown
mainly under rainfed conditions. Biotic stresses such as yellow rust, leaf rust and the Hessian
fly and abiotic stresses mainly drought constrains ...
Locally Adapted Machinery Solutions For Sustainable Intensification Of Crop-livestock Systems In Tunisia
Small crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African
ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and
sustainability. Machinery being ...
