1. Geo-statistical Prediction of Spatial Distribution of Salt-affected Soils of Meki-Zeway agricultural areas: Actionable baseline information for practical implementation of precision agriculture in similar salinity/sodicity prone areas in EthiopiaSalinity and sodicity-induced soil degradation are major soil property related environmental constraint with severe negative impacts on productivity and sustainability of both rainfed and irrigated agriculture in arid and semi-arid lowlands of Ethiopia. The spatial prediction, data bases creation and preparation of actionable digital soil salinization/sodiciation pattern maps has a special importance to enable site-specific management system leading to the establishment and execution of Digit...

2. Leveraging Precision Agriculture Education for Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture in Sub-saharan AfricaImproved agricultural productivity and access to safe and nutritious food is critical to meeting south Saharan Africa (SSA)’s growing food demand and for improving incomes for smallholders in the region. This has to be done in ways that do not compromise natural capital but secure ecosystem functions and services. With almost 60 percent of the region’s population under the age of 25, Precision Agriculture (PA) education for SSA youth is crucial. PA offers the potential to transfor... K.A. Frimpong |
