Water management practices such as water harvesting yield important environment and socio-economic benefits by reducing environmental risks, improving soil
health and increasing crop yields, particularly in dry areas. Several types of water harvesting practices can be implemented depending on soil type, geology, material
and labour force availability: floodwater harvesting practices, micro and macro catchment water harvesting, and roof-top or courtyard rainwater harvesting. These are

This is the presentation of Dr. Badabate Diwediga during the workshop "Sustainable Land Management to Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality: Options-by-Context Approach and Tool", final workshop for the project "Impact Evaluation of SLM Options to Achieve Land Degradation Neutrality", held in Tunis on the 24th October 2017. This presentation is a landscape dynamics analysis in Tunisia.

National discussion and negotiation workshop report with:
­Overview of the current situation of the rangelands in the country and related laws within the current forestry regulations (forest code and implementing texts),
­Review of ongoing actions, visions and perspectives of national and international partners,
­Testimony of selected rangeland users (GDA, Management Councils),

Extreme weather conditions such as drought and floods, a changing and more variable climate, and the unsustainable use of the natural resources are amongst
complex factors that drive land degradation. This in turn negatively affects land productivity, food security, socio-economic stability, health and wellbeing, and the
provision of other ecosystem goods and services for billions of people worldwide. In drylands, these negative effects are felt ever more strongly given the already
limited natural resources that characterize these regions.

Urmila Pujari belongs to the Bhumia tribe of eastern state of Orissa in India, a culturally rich and one
of the largest tribes in India. The tribe relies on farming for livelihood, but very few farmers cultivate
pulses (food legumes). Urmila’s village of Bhejaguda is one the 28 tribal villages that has been brought
into the folds of ‘Pulses Panchayat’, a bold and innovative movement that aims to revolutionize India’s
pulses production.

What are the factors that hinder or support publishing interdisciplinary research? What does a successful

Presentation about data entry on the online form of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) option by context. The presentation took place the 5th of November, inside the "Monitoring Evaluation and Learning, Data Management and Geo-informatics Option by Context – Learning Week" In Tunis, Tunisia (1-7 November, 2019).

Rice is one of the major crops cultivated predominantly in flooded paddies, thus
a large amount of water is consumed during its growing season. Accurate paddy rice maps
are therefore important inputs for improved estimates of actual evapotranspiration in the
agricultural landscape. The main objective of this study was to obtain flooded paddy rice
maps using multi-temporal images of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) in the Krishna River Basin, India. First, ground-based spectral samples collected
