1. Digital platforms for boosting farmer knowledge: Two case studies in Kenya and UgandaApproximately 80% of all farms in Africa, or 33 million farms, are two hectares or less in size. Many of these smallholder farmers do not have access to resources, including extension services, to improve their farms. Lack of knowledge of Good Agronomic Practices (GAPs) causes farmers to fail to reach their full yield potential. Extension workers responsible to provide these GAPs to farmers are spread thin. For example, as of March of 2019, there was one extension worker for every 1,800 coffee... E. Bakirdjian, T. Harigaya, M. Osia, J. Zhu, J. Abuli |
2. Improving Phosphorus Use Efficiency by Chickpea Crop Using Electromagnetic Induction, Soil Properties, and Crop Yield Data Under Semi-arid ConditionsUnder arid and semi-arid conditions, the agricultural sector faces many challenges related to the use of water and mineral resources for crop production and food security for an exponentially growing population. The impact of climate changes on water resources availability and soil quality is more and more emphasized under the Mediterranean basin, mostly characterized by drought and extreme weather conditions. The present study aims to investigate how electromagnetic induction technique and soil... M. Chtouki, A. Oukarroum, F. Nguyen |
