Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use and Soil Fertility in NEN and LAC Countries
Start date
13 Apr 2018 End date
30 Jun 2022 The project has been designed to combine an adaptive research program, including integrated capacity development, with the active development of a delivery mechanism for CLCA systems to serve as impact accelerators in both targeted regions. The adaptive research component will include a subcomponent, which involves extensive socioeconomic and market data collection to be used for optimizing adapted CLCA packages for different agroecologies and socioeconomic contexts.

Geoinformatics for designing inclusive cropping systems for sustainable agriculture in Madhya Pradesh
Start date
01 Apr 2018 End date
31 Mar 2020 Agroecosystems in Madhya Pradesh host an enormous variety of biophysical environments with extremely contrast socio-economic, demographic, and unique cropping systems. However, there is lack of systematic and timely (near-real time) information on the cropping system dynamics, crop diversity, rotation, intensity, granularity and options for sustainable interventions at multiple scales. Addressing agricultural development challenges faced by smallholders and strategic decision makers without...

Social Stabilization through Comprehensive Agricultural Support for Refugee Host Communities in Lebanon
Start date
01 Mar 2018 End date

Reversing Land Degradation in Africa through Scaling-up Evergreen Agriculture
Start date
01 Jan 2018 End date
31 Mar 2020 Land and soil degradation are the major challenges for sustainable development. The ELD Initiative, through economic evaluation, provides reliable and scientifically robust information on the economic implications of the loss of terrestrial ecosystem services and economic benefits of relevant investments. Transfer of this knowledge into the countries is thus highly relevant and important in order to enhance the countries’ efforts to address land degradation issues.

Enhancing Water Productivity by Improving On-Farm Irrigation Management in Minya and Fayoum, Egypt
Start date
27 Nov 2017 End date
31 Jul 2020 The productivity and sustainability of water use in agriculture in Egypt depend on efficient water use, at both the farm and basin levels. It is widely agreed that technical and political efforts to improve water use efficiency in irrigated areas are top priorities to mitigate water scarcity in the country. The most effective way to improve use efficiency of irrigation water is to provide better solutions which show farmers how to optimize distribution uniformity and application efficiency.
