1. VALIDATION OF CLIMATE SMART AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMPROVED CROP YIELDS IN SEMI-ARID LANDS IN KENYAKenya’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 |
2. Strengthening the Knowledge Base for Sustainable Management of Inland Valleys in West Africa: Two Pilot Case Study Sites from Benin.Inland valleys offer a unique opportunity for increasing food security in West-Africa, but their potential is constrained by poor water management and a limited hydrological understanding. Increasing the hydrological understanding of inland valleys should be based on long term and detailed validated observations of hydrological fluxes in the different components of the inland valleys. We present in this study, two new pilot case study sites which aim observing the long-term dynamics of water... M.A. Tidjani, P.G. Tovihoudji, I.P. Akponikpe, M. Vanclooster |
