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.
Agricultural and Livestock Technology Transfer Preferences in Tunisia
The objective of this research study was to assess the sources of information on two improved agricultural and livestock technologies (barley variety and feed blocks) as well as the ecacy of numerous agricultural technology diffusion means introduced in the livestock–barley system in semi-arid Tunisia.
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.
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.
