Monitoring of spatiotemporal dynamics of Rabi rice fallows in South Asia using remote sensing. In: Geospatial Technologies in Land Resources, Mapping, Monitoring and Management, Geotechnologies and the Environment
Cereals and grain legumes are the most important part of human diet and
nutrition. The expansion of grain legumes with improved productivity to cater the
growing population’s nutritional security is of prime importance and ...
Conservation of blue/green water resources for intensification
Water scarcity is one of the major factor for low crop productivity in rainfed semi-arid tropics (SAT). Studies have indicated that one or two lifesaving irrigations can substantially enhance crop productivity. Enhancing ...
Pathways to Sustainable Intensification: Participatory Designing of Adapted Farming System Innovations
Most farmers in Western Rajasthan, India face an uncertain, impoverished future. The region is affected by frequent droughts, overexploitation
of groundwater, deteriorating soil and water quality, low productivity, weak ...
Farm typology specific intensification and diveriscation options including agro-silvi-horticulture with traditional rainwater harvesting systems
Based on farm typology analysis integrated farming system interventions were prioritized in participatory mode. A total six large agri horti units has been established and linked with RWHS (Rain water harvesting structures) ...
Diversification for Income and Nutrition
Low productivity and cultivation of low-value crops in the Indian semi-arid tropics (SAT) is major cause for poor farm-based livelihoods. In this scenario, proper nutrition for children and women is also a rampant problem ...
Farm level rainwater harvesting across different agro climatic regionsof India: Assessing performance and its determinants
tRainwater harvesting and its utilization have a very important role to play in harnessing the productionpotential within dryland systems. This study assesses the performance of small rainwater harvestingstructures ...
Characterization of the main chickpea cropping systems in India using a yield gap analysis approach
Chickpea is an important livelihood option and nutritious food source for many subsistence farming communities in the developing world. Although India is the biggest chickpea producing nation, the demands of its growing ...
Potential of farm level rainwater harvesting for enhancing resilience of dryland farming systems in India
The farm level rainwater harvesting which has huge potential for enhancing dryland farming systems resilience is yet to be fully harnessed. Here we have assessed the performance of small rainwater harvesting structures in ...
Monitoring Changes in the Cultivation of Pigeonpea and Groundnut in Malawi Using Time Series Satellite Imagery for Sustainable Food Systems
Malawi, in south-eastern Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. Food security in the country hinges on rainfed systems in which maize and sorghum are staple cereals and groundnut and pigeonpea are now major ...
Identifying Low Emissions Development Pathways – Synergies and Trade-offs: A Case Study of Mahbubnagar District, Telangana, India
This case study examines the opportunities for obtaining synergies between agricultural productivity, wholefarm profitability and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and highlights where trade-offs exist. We explore how ...
