Developing farming systems towards sustainability and diversification and value chain development. Vietnam Baseline report.
Conducted a baseline of farming households that are members of 07 Diet Health Clubs and 02 Vegetable Value Chain Groups. The household survey assessed the current situation at farm level including crop diversity and practices related to production, soil, water and pest management, and food consumption.
Stakeholder Engagement Report: The Development of a National Framework for Weather, Water and Climate Services for Zambia (NFWCS-ZM)
The Ministry of Green Economy and Environment (MGEE) through the Zambia Meteorological Department (ZMD) hosted a three-day national Stakeholders’ Consultation Workshop at Urban Hotel in Lusaka, Zambia from 14 to 16 November 2023 to develop a National Framework for Weather, Water and Climate Services (NFWWCS) for Zambia.
A guide for soil biology training
Nature positive agriculture initiative offers sustainable food production system that meet the demands of growing population as well as facilitating the necessity of environmental restoration, biodiversity conservation thereby improving soil, land and water by scientifically supported solutions.
Bringing new focus on groundwater irrigation in Nepal’s irrigation policy​: Potential policy opportunities and pathways​
The last irrigation policy of Nepal (2003) acknowledged that the traditional focus of irrigation development in Nepal has been on run-off river-based surface water irrigation. To counter the problems of seasonal low flows of rivers, groundwater resources were regarded mostly as a supplementary or conjunctive irrigation source that could extend irrigation year-round.
Integrated effect of saline water irrigation and phosphorus fertilization practices on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth, productivity, nutrient content and soil proprieties under dryland farming
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most common and oldest crop in Morocco and MENA region countries, cultivated both for human and animal nutrition. In Morocco, the irrigated perimeter of Tadla is the major wheat growing area affected by soil and groundwater salinity problematic.
Gender and Climate Change Vulnerability Hotspot Mapping in Agriculture, Water and Energy Sector for Decision Support in Uganda
The granular gender and climate change vulnerability hotspot mapping for decision support study in Uganda reveals sub-national level gendered climate vulnerabilities that require policy intervention to build community resilience to the impacts of climate change in the three sectors of agriculture, water and energy.
Cocoa irrigation in southern Nigeria: A Technical Report of the IITA irrigated cocoa farm
Cocoa production is a major export crop in West African countries such as Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, and Nigeria. These countries collectively contribute to 70% of global cocoa production. Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, and Togo are leading economies and significant hubs for cocoa production.
Development of an environmental flow implementation and monitoring tool: enhancing the usability of the PROBFLO e-flows framework in the Limpopo Catchment
This study presents an innovative tool and approach developed to facilitate the adaptive testing or monitoring of e-flow frameworks and environmental flows (e-flows) implementation using digital tools and real-time data to ensure sustainable water resource management.
Food safety in Bangladesh: Market characterization and food safety awareness of food vendors and customers
Access to enough safe and nutritious food is a key to sustaining life and promoting good health. Food can however also be a vehicle of disease transmission if contaminated with harmful microbes (bacteria, viruses, or parasites) or chemicals/toxins.
Current trends in River Bathymetry using UAV-borne technology to inform E-flow assessments in Southern Africa
Freshwater, constituting a mere 2.5% of Earth's total water, is a critical resource facing escalating competition due to an anticipated global population surge to 9.7 billion by 2050. Southern Africa is characterized by uneven water distribution and quality challenges which exacerbates these issues.
Development of an environmental flow implementation and monitoring approach: using digital technology to construct accurate 3D hydrodynamic models of a river reach to monitor the implementation of environmental flows
This study presents a comprehensive approach to developing an effective monitoring system for e- flow implementation in river ecosystems using high-resolution 3D modeling and modern sensor technology. The research focuses on the Limpopo and Incomati basins in Southern Africa.
