Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN and LAC Countries – Progress Highlights: Year (3) - April 2020 to March 2021
The brief highlights the most important achievements of the IFAD funded CLCA Project in North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria) and LAC (Mexico & Bolivia) countries during its third year (April 2020 – March 2021). The brief presents ...
Economic efficiency measures and its determinants for irrigated wheat farms in Tunisia: a DEA approach
The objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, we aim to measure the technical,
scale and economic efficiencies for a sample of 170 cereal farmers in Chebika region
(Central Tunisia) using Data Envelopment Analysis ...
Performance evaluation of ground water management instruments: The case of irrigation sector in Tunisia
Around 27% of aquifers in Tunisia are being overexploited. Groundwater extractions is mainly for the irrigation sector, where more than 40% of the water used for irrigation comes from GW sources. The objective of this study ...
Integrating Agroecology and One Health: A Path to Sustainable Food Systems and Improved Health
Agroecology is increasingly gaining importance around the world, including in Tunisia: It is defined as a holistic approach to redesign food systems in the purpose of concurrently achieving ecological, economic, and social ...
Farmers’ Adaptation to Groundwater Shortage in the Dry Areas: Improving Appropriation or Enhancing Accommodation?
The objective of this paper is to identify farmers’ strategies to adapt to groundwater shortage in vulnerable arid areas of south Tunisia.
In the selected area, the potential of rainfed agriculture is very limited and ...
Toward Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Tunisian Citrus Sector: Impact of Pricing Policies on Water Resources Reallocation
This study aims to analyse Tunisian farmers’ ability to pay (ATP) in a citrus area and
propose a penalising price strategy based on the block‐pricing process to decrease over‐irrigation
without affecting farmers’ incomes. ...
ICARDA and SAHARA & Sahel Observatory: Building Resilient Pastoral Systems
ICARDA scientists recently met with The Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) team of experts to discuss the potential of collaboration in research on pastoral systems and adaptation to address climate change impacts on rural ...
technical report - “Research on the effective scaling of soil and water conservation technologies under different agroecosystems in North and Central West Tunisia” (SWC@Scale)
The objective of this project agreement is to inform the development ProSol project (led by DGACTA – Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture, Hydraulic Resources and Fisheries) on the best scaling pathways for enhanced Soil and ...
Analysis of the competitiveness of wheat and orange in Tunisia under water shortage scenarios
Increasing water shortage results in higher food prices which may affect the competitiveness of small irrigated farming systems. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of water shortage on the competitiveness ...
Impact and adoption of SWC techniques: research progress and preliminary results
The main objective of this research is to model the impact of soil and water conservation
(SWC) structures on runoff and erosion processes at the watershed scale, by means of
watershed-based modelling (SWAT software). ...
