Africa RISING offers demand-driven, locally tailored, and resource-saving agricultural innovations for sustainable intensification to improve household welfare and at the same time enhance sustainability.
Animal-source foods—such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy—are important components of diverse diets and provide high-quality proteins and other essential nutrients that promote optimal growth and development.
Public private partnerships (PPPs) have the potential to bring much-needed financial, technical, and managerial resources to the irrigation sector in Africa south of the Sahara and are explicitly identified in the food security and irrigation stra
Nearly 93% of agriculture in Africa south of the Sahara is currently rainfed and a large share of the rural population is subject to the vagaries of climate to grow crops and support livestock production.
Water is a shared resource, which requires coordination between resource users, but in many cases the necessary collective action to manage water does not emerge.
The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Small-Scale Irrigation (ILSSI) project aims to benefit farmers of Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania by improving effective use of scarce water supplies through
International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) is a network of linked economic, water, and crop models.
The benefits of irrigation go beyond impacts on yields, with large potential benefits for nutrition security, health, and women’s empowerment.
Land-based resources generate most of the income and subsistence goods for the poor in developing countries.
The project provides an integrated irrigation-energy planning framework to identify groundwater irrigation development potentials in Ethiopia under three energy solutions: grid-connected electricity, off-grid solar PV, and diesel.
Climate change is already affecting the livelihoods of small farmers around the globe, particularly in marginal environments where farmers lack resources to address the climate challenges they face.
