Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation: MIT emiter (photo credti ICARDA)
January 15, 2020

Ultra-Low-Energy Drip Irrigation helps small farmers save water, energy, and money!

Water scarcity issues in arid areas of the MENA region make efficient irrigation systems, like drip irrigation, a great investment for farmers. Unfortunately, drip irrigation is not as widely implemented as it could be.

Crop rotation known as spatial and temporal alternation of crops with different root geometry and secretion of exudates is believed to break life cycle of soil born diseases and pests and largely influence the rizhosphere and the microorganisms

The economic advantages of legume-based rotations over cereal mono-cropping in dry areas

Current land use trends show an increasing preference for monocropping – mostly a consequence of policies and incentives aimed at enhancing the intensification of cereals. This shift has caused some to question whether legume–cereal rotations can remain economically viable options for farmers, particularly in the dry areas.

 Land suitability map for faba bean var. Doshaas established in the present study
December 09, 2019

Faba bean seed system landscape in the highlands of Ethiopia

Successful scaling of agricultural technology requires a spatial explicit framework for targeting the right variety at the right place. This entails a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) approach, using a set of determining factors to delineate the scaling domains for faba bean (Vicia faba L.) varieties in and identify potentially suitable land area in a specific region, and zone in Ethiopia. Meeting this challenge will require a solid spatial framework.

Vallerani micro water harvesting

Desertification has resulted in significant loss of ecosystem processes and services. The techniques and processes to restore degraded watersheds are not linear and integrated watershed management (IWM) must address physical, biological and social approaches to achieve Sustainable Land Management (SLM) objectives.
