Research was done in the upper part of the Genale River basin in the Sidama Zone, Ethiopia. The research focussed on answering the question whether coffee-based agroforestry could ve an impact on the local hydrology. Discharge data, land use data and soil data was collected in the field and from literature and together put into a SWAT model to investigate the hydrological cycle of the basin. Several scenarios were created in which the amount of coffee in the area was altered.

The purpose of this study is to help build a clear picture of grazing in an agriculture region of China, to find out why farmers buy supplemental feed which is used in winter when their farmland is abandoned and covered by weeds. To meet this goal, I used the case of a village where farmers not only supplied but also bought supplemental feed to see how they used farmland. I discovered the following : The land fragmentation causes them to abandon arable field and borrow farmland from others by their relationship. So they don't have enough farmland to plant feed.

Our study focuses on pasture reform in Azerbaijan within the context of transition and pasture reform in Central Asian and Caucasian countries. Despite the rapid emergence of individualised rights for pasture plots, which is an exceptional development in this region, pasture reform in Azerbaijan has received little attention in the scientific literature.
