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 Ethiopia Salinity 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. Public Financing in Agricultural Research Development and Rural Poverty Alleviation: Evidence from West African Economic and Monetary Union States The paper examines the effects of public financing for agricultural research and development on rural poverty based on the variable farm income in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) States. To conduct this analysis, a dynamic panel comprising seven (07) WAEMU States has been built based on secondary data from World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) databases for the period 2000 to 2016. To correct the endogeneity generated ... O. Dah, T. Bassolet
3. Mapping the Spatial Variability, Status and Magnitude of Soil Acidity in Semen Ari District of South Omo, Southwestern Ethiopia Soil acidity is one of the major constraints to cropping systems in the vast highlands of Ethiopia. A common strategy for ameliorating soil acidity is the application of agricultural lime. However, formulation of measurement strategy was hampered by the lack of information on magnitude, extent and status of soil acidity and, high resolution soil acidity map. Therefore, this study was investigated to assess the magnitude and status of soil acidity, map its spatial variability in ... A.H. Hemacho
4. A Suitability Approach for Land Assessment of New Reclamation Areas Using Geomatics The study aims to develop a system to assess land suitability for agriculture use in the Arid Western Fringes of the Nile Delta. This is based on the fact that the selection of optimal sites for agricultural use is a prerequisite for productive operation and economic feasibility. This is especially true in arid regions due to the scarcity of such suitable land. New approach was implemented to use environmental and terrestrial factors; i.e., criteria of soil characteristics, climate and salini... A.M. saleh, S.M. Arafat, M.A. Abdelrahman
5. Comparative Assesement of Interpolation Techniques in Predicting Soil Properties on a Sloping Pasture Land Under Fallow in a Ferralsol in Uganda Soil variability is a major challenge in application of mineral fertilizers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Use of soil fertility maps can effectively guide the use of mineral or organic fertilizers or fertilizers. Interpolation techniques are widely used in the formulation of these fertility maps. The precision of spatial interpolation techniques for predicting unmeasured values have been reported by various researchers but there are cconflicting findings regarding the relative performance of t...

6. Use of Earth Observation Imagery, Advanced Modelling Algorithms and Other Monitoring Systems to Produce Operational Agricultural Annual Crop Inventories for Morocco. African farmers are facing the challenges of a changing climate, increased temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent extreme weather events and reductions in water availability. The digital transformation of the agricultural sector is one of the opportunities that can promote good practices of the African agricultural through the sharing of information and tools for decision-making, thereby, boost economic growth of our African country. The shift to digital technologies ... M. Choukri, A. Laamrani , V. simonneaux , B. Gerard , S. Belaqziz, A. Chehbouni, K. Misbah, H. Mcnairn
