CONTEXT: India's agricultural systems are increasingly affected by climate change's adverse effects.

CONTEXT

CONTEXT: On-farm water application in Ethiopia, as in much of Sub-Saharan Africa, is dominated by furrow irrigation, which resulted in inefficient water uses and related economic and environmental problems.

Climate-resilient agriculture projects can enhance sustainable ag by improving soil health, increasing grain yields, & building ag systems' resilience to climate change & extreme weather shocks.

CONTEXT

Improving adaptive capacity of crop systems through minimum mechanical soil disturbance, permanent soil organic cover, and crop species diversification.

Initial impacts & resilience of China's food systems during the pandemic and the government's responses & long-term efforts to promote resilience.

Chicken & eggs make important contributions to food & nutrition security of low-income households in Myanmar. What are the impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar's poultry sector?

COVID-19 induced significant economic and social disruptions in India. Rural households, including smallholders, were affected by loss in migrant income, livelihood and farm and non-farm incomes.

Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season.

Agricultural research spending in Vietnam has increased steadily since 2000.

Malaysia’s total agricultural research spending remained stagnant in the decade leading to 2017, averaging around 0.9 to 1.0 billion ringgit per year (in constant 2011 prices).

Agricultural research investment in Thailand rose gradually during 2013–2017, largely driven by increased spending by the country’s livestock, forestry, and rice departments.

Indonesian agricultural R&D spending declined steadily in the decade leading to 2017 (in inflation-adjusted terms).

Despite a considerable increase in agricultural research spending in recent years, Cambodia is still grossly underinvesting.

Recent agricultural transformation in Asia and Africa has witnessed the gradual spread of mechanization in agricultural areas that are still largely made up of smallholder farming.
