   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Veronika Widengren; [2022]
   Nyckelord :WaPOR; remote sensing; evapotranspiration; crop water productivity; irrigation scheme; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; paddy rice; humid tropical climate; WaPOR; fjärranalys; evapotranspiration; vattenproduktivitet; bevattningssystem; AquaCrop; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; ris; fuktigt tropiskt klimat;

   Sammanfattning : With a changing climate and an increased competition over water resources for agricultural irrigation, the need to improve crop water productivity using time and cost-efficient methodologies have become critically important. The Malwathu Oya river basin in Sri Lanka is struggling with water scarcity, which threatens food security and the income of farmers. LÄS MER

5. 4. Growing crops or growing conflicts? : Climate variability, rice production and political violence in Vietnam

   Master-uppsats, Försvarshögskolan

   Författare :William Sundelin; [2021]
   Nyckelord :climate change; climate variability; security; agriculture; food security; political violence; Vietnam;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to research on climate change and violent conflict by testing the theory of a causal relationship between climate variability, agricultural production and political violence in the case of Vietnam 2010-2019. Climate-related negative shocks to agricultural production in developing countries are expected to lower the opportunity cost of violence through an income effect. LÄS MER

7. 5. Can Smartphones be used as an information delivery tool in post-conflict context? : exploring possibilities of using smartphones to deliver agricultural advisory services in Afgooye district -Somalia

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Författare :Abdikadir Jimale; [2020]
   Nyckelord :agricultural advisory service; farmers; information and communication technology; post-conflict; security; smartphone; vegetables; Somalia;

   Sammanfattning : In areas where reaching out to rural farmers is difficult, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as mobile smartphones may offer an opportunity to share timely information on weather, markets, farm inputs, and research results to the farmers. Access to this type of information could potentially enhance farmers' farm productivity and their ability to make crucial decisions related to farm management in the face of climate variability.
