A study in Tunisia explored the factors that influence the adoption of new agricultural technologies. Lessons learned will enhance the performance of the country’s extension services and raise farmer`s/agricultural productivity.

In post-revolution Tunisia a new initiative is harnessing ICT to overhaul the country’s outdated and under-resourced extension system—enhancing farmer access to new innovations and technologies.

ICARDA conducted a land suitability mapping for selected varieties of chickpea, faba bean and malt barley in Ethiopia in order to identify where and how much potentially suitable land for a crop and crop variety exists in the country. Land...

A south-south collaboration is initiating the manufacture of locally-produced direct seeders to facilitate the scaling-up of conservation agriculture in Algeria and Tunisia. Significantly cheaper than imported models, the seeders could be a game-changing innovation for North Africa’s smallholder farmers.

Dr. Filippo Bassi was interviewed by Joseph Opoku Gakpo, Ghana Correspondent for the Cornell Alliance for Science blog

Rangelands in Jordan form around 80% of the land area. Severe land degradation exists due to natural and anthropogenic factors. Restoration attempts to reduce and mitigate rangeland degradation by using the micro-water harvesting techniques coupled with out-planting of native species on hill-slope areas, have been introduced and adopted in Jordan.

10 out of 12 of Jordan’s underwater basins are overpumped. A new NGO, the Watershed and Development Initiative (WADI), was launched to engage local communities in land management and rehabilitation.

This approach offers an opportunity to characterize complex causalities and attribute realistic weights to specified causal linkages, as is relevant for the study of natural resource governance.
