1. SIMULATION OF CASSAVA YIELD UNDER DIFFERENT CLIMATIC SCENARIOS IN KILEMBWE, SOUTH-KIVU PROVINCE EASTERN DR CONGOClimate 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. FARMER CHARLIE: PRECISION AGRICULTURE AT SMALLHOLDER FARMERS’ SERVICEPreliminary research and an ongoing project in Nigeria showed that agriculture is a crucial activity in the country. It is mainly carried out in small, family-owned farms: in fact, 88% of Nigeria farmers work on less than 0.5 ha. Lack of resources, of readily available information and the impact of climate on agricultural activities lead to low yields and high-cost farm inputs (FAO, 2020). The availability of agricultural data and weather forecast information could play an essential role in improving... B. Bonnardel, G. Cursoli |
