Goat value chains as platform to improve income and food security: the case of imGoats in Inhassaro district, Mozambique
Innovation platforms are increasingly used as spaces for interaction between actors in value chains to overcome barriers to development. It involves continuous learning and capacity building – both in terms of innovation ...
Using SWAT model to evaluate the impact of community-based soil and water conservation interventions for an Ethiopian watershed
Extensive land degradation in the Ethiopian highlands forces the rural communities to prevent further soil erosion to ensure sustainable land management in the endangered regions. Soil conservation measures are continuously ...
Water Harvesting techniques and strategies of soil and water conservation in Libya
Land degradation in massive scale and water scarcity become serious problems which are beyond the farmer’s capacity to solve in Libya. In order to plan an adequate land management, ICARDA introduces some new water techniques ...
Critical Assessment of Groundwater Management Instruments in Tunisia: Current and potential instruments for better regulation of groundwater extraction
Groundwater is very important in Tunisia, where 43% of water currently used for irrigation is pumped from deep and shallow aquifers. Groundwater resources have been intensively mobilized in many parts of the country since ...
Soil sorption of cesium on calcareous soils of Iran
The adsorption behaviour of Cs on two selected calcareous soils (clay and silty clay loam) with contrasting
physical and chemical characteristics was studied by means of a batch method. Cs sorption characteristic was ...
Genus Vigna and Cowpea (V. unguiculata [L.] Walp.) taxonomy: current status and prospects
Since the mid-nineties, thanks to DNA sequence studies, phylogeny of Phaseoleae,
Phaseolinae, and genus Vigna has been greatly improved. Genus Vigna is now reduced
to a monophyletic group including five reorganized subgenera: ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
Performance of Anatolian Merino and Akkaraman lambs fed triticale, Hungarian vetch or a mixture of the two forages
Forages from Hungarian vetch and triticale monocultures
or mixtures that can be produced with relatively low cost
are important feed sources for ruminants in spring particularly
in the arid and semiarid regions. The feed ...
Adapting SWAT model for the evaluation of water harvesting systems in an arid environment: a case from Jordan
Water scarcity and land degradation are widespread problems that affect agricultural productivity, food security and environmental quality in several parts of the world, particularly in the dry areas. Sustainable management ...
The influence of geo-morphological landscape patterns on vegetation characteristics in Tajikistan grasslands
Grassland ecosystems are affected by a combination of physical and environmental factors, as well
as by grazing and human induced activities. The primary objective of this study was to examine the influence
of geo-morphological ...
