Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence farming but also for rural an

Data from 3 irrigation schemes in Mozambique reveal patterns consistent with water inefficiency.  A feedback tool could visually communicate ways to conserve by varying water applications at each stage of the crop cycle.

Land degradation is a pressing global challenge, with three billion people residing in degraded landscapes.

This paper provides a quantitative impact assessment of the community-based integrated natural resources management project (CBINReMP) in the Lake Tana region in Ethiopia during 2011-2019.

Low-cost and sustainable agricultural management practices are being promoted in many countries but continue to face low adoption among farmers.

Using a household and plot-level survey conducted in Ethiopia, this study analyzes the difference in farmers’ adoption of sustainable land management (SLM) practices between their rainfed and irrigated plots.

This data set contains GIS source data files showing breakeven installed costs for solar PV system (unit: US$/Wp) over Africa South of Sahara calculated in a study that compares the economic cost of groundwater pumping for irrigation powered by so

The countries sharing the Niger River suffer from poor access to clean water and energy as well as food insecurity.

Many smallholder farmers, especially women and other marginalized groups, face difficulty in accessing loans and other forms of credit.

Small-scale irrigation is expanding rapidly in parts of the world, especially sub-Saharan Africa, offering smallholder farmers an opportunity to improve their livelihoods, diets, and resilience to climate change among other benefits.

The variety of demands that people place on water resources, coupled with the dynamics of the natural system, make water resource management highly complex.

Increasing population pressure and population density in many African countries are inducing land scarcity and land constraints.

We study production practices of larger and more capital-intensive farmers (“horti-preneurs”) in horticultural commercial clusters in the central Rift Valley of Ethiopia.
