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. Monitoring Grazing Goats' Behavior Using Sensors and Satellite Remote SensingThe recent development of new methods for remotely observing animal behavior using electronic sensors such as global positioning systems (GPS) and three-axis accelerometers to monitor and record behavior at different spatial and temporal scales presents real opportunities for better understanding and interpreting the behaviors of grazing animals. The goal of this study was to distinguish different behavioral categories of grazing goats by combining GPS collars, accelerometers, and satellite remote... Y. Chebli, S. El otmani, J. Cabaraux, M.
