  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Sammanfattning : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Nexus Assessment of Ethiopia

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Energisystem

    Författare :Pegah Atarian; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in northeast Africa with a predominantly rural population dependent on rainfed agriculture and traditional biomass. The Ethiopian economy is growing fast and as it continues to grow, so does the demand for water, food, and energy. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Weathering Climate Uncertainty - A case study on factors influencing the use of Weather and Climate Information Services (WCIS) by smallholder farmers in Tattaguine District, Senegal

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

    Författare :Johannes Kurt Becker; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Tattaguine; Senegal; WCIS use; Livelihood assets; Innovation adoption; Traditional forecasting systems; Gender; Gender norms; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This research investigates how Weather and Climate Information Services (WCIS) have been used by farmers in the Tattaguine district of Senegal, where rainfed agriculture faces challenges due to increasing climate variability. The study employed qualitative methods, including structured interviews, key informant interviews, and a focus group discussion. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Assessing the suitability of using Sentinel-1A SAR multi-temporal imagery to detect fallow periods between rice crops

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Lukasz Langowski; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Geography; Geographical Information System; GIS; Remote Sensing; Fallow; Detection; Sentinel-1A; Synthetic-aperture radar; SAR; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Fallow, understood as a period where no crop is cultivated during a growing season, is an important crop management practice. Fallow plays an important role in pest and disease management, and monitoring the presence and duration of fallow can have implications for understanding the extent and effectiveness of this agricultural practice.
