Application of advanced Wflow_sbm Model with the CMIP6 climate projection for flood prediction in the data-scarce: Lake-Tana Basin, Ethiopia [Abstract only]
Abstract: Flood-attributed damages to infrastructure and public safety are expected to escalate in the future due to climate change, land use change, and associated hydrologic changes. In recent years, the reliability of flood forecasts has increased due to the availability of meteorological and hydrological data and advancements in flood prediction science.
Sustainable livestock production: A systematic review of different constraints associated with sustainable livestock production
Agriculture in general and ranches contribute significantly to the sustainability of poor and marginalized farmers. To meet the future requirements of an increasing population, animal productivity must be significantly increased. Animal production is increasingly influenced by a variety of external factors.
How to assess client creditworthiness: client credit assessment
How to develop demand-driven capacity strengthening programs.
Demand-driven capacity strengthening programs prepare skills and competencies for the young labor force to work in the private sector, filling the gap of suitable workforce.
How to assess client creditworthiness
Creditworthiness assessment tool helps input suppliers, financial institutions and other service providers to identify farmers (clients) who fit and credit-and-trustworthy for their business.
Accelerating climate adaptation in the Zambezi River Basin through digital innovations
The Zambezi River Basin (ZRB) in southern Africa connects eight riparian countries—Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The population there mostly reside rurally, and over 80 percent of agriculture is attributed to smallholder farmers facing the brunt of the climate crisis.
How good is the data for tracking countries’ agricultural greenhouse gas emissions? Making use of multiple national greenhouse gas inventories
Tracking agriculture and land-use greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is necessary to inform global climate policy, yet UNFCCC country-reported data and three independent global databases show inconsistent estimates of countries’ emissions. Data for developing countries are particularly inconsistent, yet also collectively the largest source of emissions.
Indicators of site-specific climate-smart agricultural practices employed in Ethiopia
Indicators of CSA practices/technologies are crucial to measure the performance of CSA practices/technologies and use as a guideline for data collection on the evaluation of CSA practices and technologies.
The emergy-data envelopment analysis (EM-DEA) approach handbook
Emergy-Data Envelopment Analysis (EM-DEA) is a methodological approach for achieving complete environmental-economic accounting of different production systems.
Priority Agricultural Commodities for Expanding and Diversifying Intra-Regional Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa
This report explores the potential to diversify intra-regional trade in Eastern and Southern Africa countries (Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and Burundi), with special reference to the COMESA regional market. More specifically, three critical issues were analyzed.
Soil conservation and smallholder welfare under cassava-based systems in Thailand
Land degradation, declining soil fertility, and erosion continue to plague agricultural production in many developing countries. In response to these farm production constraints and environmental challenges, a range of soil conservation technologies and practices have been developed and disseminated to tackle soil nutrient and fertility declines.
