Substantial model variability exists regarding the likely meteorological impact of climate change on Kenya, particularly with respect to future precipitation levels.
On the role of water resources management to transform water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary river basins
The program NEXUS Gains addresses key challenges of transforming water, energy, food and ecosystem (WEFE) systems in transboundary bread-basket basins in East and Southern Africa (Blue Nile and Limpopo basins), Central (Aral Sea basin) and South A
Changing demand for animal source foods and their effects on the provision of ecosystem services
Higher incomes in developing countries are associated with dietary shifts away from traditional staples towards highly processed foods and foods with higher nutritive value, such as animal source foods (Popkin 2004; Delgado et al. 2001).
Empirical evidence on the link between agrobiodiversity and dietary diversity appears to be inconclusive.
Integrating gender into small-scale irrigation
Small-Scale Irrigation (SSI) interventions, like other development interventions, need to take into account men’s and women’s context-specific roles in agriculture and their related gender-based preferences and challenges.
Measuring trust and commitment in collective actions
Agricultural productivity in Ethiopia’s highlands, the country’s breadbasket, is threatened by severe land degradation.
Producing adequate food to meet global demand by 2050 is widely recognized as a major challenge, particularly for Africa south of the Sahara, including Tanzania (Godfray et al. 2010; Alexandratos and Bruinsma 2012; van Ittersum et al. 2016).
This study used geospatial analysis to delineate sustainable recommendation domains (SRDs) for scaling improved crop varieties and good agronomic practices in Tanzania
