Index-based insurance for income stabilization for smallholder farms in Central Asia
Climate change is one of the major challenges for agricultural producers worldwide. In Central Asian countries,
climate-driven irrigation water variability is a major source of risk. Future projections indicate even ...
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
Moroccan oases as other Saharan oases are a highly artificial ecosystem that have proved to be capable
of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions for centuries, though it has suffered a strong
degradation ...
Wheat breeding for multiple stress tolerance at ICARDA: Achievements and prospects
Wheat is the principal food crop in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region with average consumption of 200 kg/capita/year. The productivity of wheat in the region is very low (2.5 t/ha) principally due to ...
Recent status of Moroccan faba bean landraces: collection, characterization and utilization
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important food and feed legume crop in Morocco with a multitude of uses. Morocco is known to be an important center for diversity for faba bean. However, the erosion of faba bean genetic ...
Opportunities and limitations of multidimensional crop improvement in grain legumes to support increased productivity in mixed crop livestock systems
While rising demand for animal sourced food (ASF) in emerging and developing countries increases feed demand, shrinking natural resource base particularly arable land and water limit feed production. Consequently crop ...
Overlooked benefits and services of grasslands to support policy reform
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance, Mediterranean grasslands continue to receive limited scientific, political and media attention. Grasslands are typically viewed as underutilized space, able to be ...
A Web-based Platform for Enhancing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) in Research for Development - Toward Achieving Development Outcomes
Achieving efficiency in large and complex research for development programs (R4D) is a significant
challenge. In 2015, as a response to the lack of a shared monitoring and evaluation system for CGIAR
Research Programs ...
Innovation platforms: A novel tool for improving food legume productivity and farmer’s livelihood, and enhancing food security in Morocco
Food legumes (Faba bean, lentils, chickpea and pea) are important crops that come in rotation with
cereals in the rainfed regions of Morocco where the cereal/food legume cropping system predominates.
While these crops were ...
Phenotypic and genotypic diversity for tolerance to environmental stresses in rhizobia nodulating lentil and chickpea in Morocco
Growth and productivity of lentil and chickpea in most of the growing areas is usually affected by different environmental stresses such as drought, extreme temperatures, soil pH, salinity and heavy metals in soils. These ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
