1. SIMULATION OF CASSAVA YIELD UNDER DIFFERENT CLIMATIC SCENARIOS IN KILEMBWE, SOUTH-KIVU PROVINCE EASTERN DR CONGO

Climate variability and change are projected to significantly impact agricultural production across Africa. This study assessed the effects of climate variability and change on cassava yield in Kilembwe, South-Kivu province Eastern DR Congo. The assessment relies on the DSSAT crop model simulation of cassava under current and future climate. The period 1980–2010 was used to represent the baseline, while future projection covers three periods including the near future (2010–2039), mid-century... A.B. Yamungu, A. Egeru, M.J. Majaliwa, B.M.

2. VALIDATION OF CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMPROVED CROP YIELDS IN SEMI-ARID LANDS IN KENYA

Kenya’s Vision 2030 economic strategy identifies agriculture as one of the key sectors to drive the Country’s economy. However, the agricultural sector faces various challenges. For instance, the sector is predominantly rain-fed due large coverage of arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) which is approximately 84% of the total land area. Due to challenges associated with rain-fed agriculture in Kenya, the ASALs have the lowest development indicators and the highest incidence of... A.O. Esilaba
