Assessing policy options for sustainable water use in India’s cereal production system
In India, the production of rice and wheat account for more than 80% of its total agricultural water use. As farming is highly dependent on water availability, rapidly receding water levels require urgent measures to manage withdrawals.
Increasing the adoption of conservation agriculture: A framed field experiment in Northern Ghana
Conservation agriculture techniques have the potential to increase agricultural production while decreasing CO2 emissions, yet adoption in the developing world remains low—in part because many years of continuous adoption may be required to realiz
Africa, a continent of immense potential, stands at a crucial juncture.
The potential for profitable groundwater irrigated area development in Nigeria is 5.04 million hectares (ha), almost all of it located in the country’s central and northern states.
In less than one year the Niger Basin Authority, an intergovernmental body tasked with the sustainable development of the Niger waters and associated resources, passed the first ever nexus policy in a transboundary river basin, contributing to a t
The pulse sector in Myanmar has emerged as a crucial income source for farmers during the triple crisis, driven by increased export demand and domestic consumption, as well as reduced production costs and irrigation requirements.
Mali is home to 22 million people, 12 million of whom live in rural areas and work mostly in agriculture.

Community-based conservation of freshwater resources: Learning from a critical review of the literature and case studies
Freshwater resources (FWRs) are under enormous stress due to human activities and climate change.
Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses.
Nutrition-sensitive agriculture programmes have the potential to improve child nutrition outcomes, but livestock intensification may pose risks related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions.
Getting ahead of the game: Experiential learning for groundwater governance in Ethiopia
The goal of this study is to assess the potential of game-based experiential learning in raising awareness and stimulating discussions about groundwater resource systems, the social dilemma in groundwater management, and the need for institutional
