With adverse impacts of climate change growing in number and intensity, there is an urgent need to reduce emissions from food systems to net zero.
Water is an essential resource for all life, but is extremely difficult to manage productively, sustainably and equitably.
Climate change will have an impact on natural resources, water being one of them, affecting the availability of water including increasing the intensity of floods and droughts.
Burkina Faso reformed its water management institutions and adopted integrated water resources management (IWRM) for more than two decades, yet the country still suffers from weak institutions and ineffective implementation of water management ref
Geography of plant breeding systems, agroclimatic similarity, and agricultural productivity: Evidence from Nigeria
Agricultural productivity & technical efficiency at the agricultural household level is positively affected by similar agroclimatic conditions between locations of agricultural households & major plant breeding institutes.
Water, sanitation, & hygiene practices mediate the association between women's empowerment and child length for‐age z‐scores in Nepal
Empowered women show better WASH practices than nonempowered women in Nepal, which translates into better child nutrition outcomes.
Farm diversity, maize stock in the household, household asset index, & agro‐ecological zone were the main predictors of hemoglobin and anemia among children & adolescents in Ghana.
Water and nutrition are linked in multiple ways, but few of these interlinkages are well understood. What is, for example, the exact relationship between water pollution and health or between water resource management and nutrition?
Weather risk: How does it change the yield benefits of nitrogen fertilizer and improved maize varieties in sub‐Saharan Africa?
How does it change the yield benefits of nitrogen fertilizer and improved maize varieties in Africa south of the Sahara?
Quantifying the sustainability of water availability for the water‐food‐energy‐ecosystem nexus in the Niger River Basin
Water, food, energy, and the ecosystems they depend on interact with each other in highly complex and interlinked ways.
