The project has as its overall aim to increase climate resilient agricultural productivity and food security, with a specific objective to increase the water productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers in Mozambique, prioritizing small (family sector) farmers to increase food and nutritional security. This project will demonstrate what the best combinations are of adoption strategies ...
Institut des Sciences Agronomiques du Burundi (ISABU) is a government institution under the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in Burundi. The institution is an umbrella under which various laboratories operate offering services in different agri-sectors. Its vision is to contribute to the establishment of a dynamic agricultural sector based on innovative technologies, knowledge and approaches ...
Carbon sequestration is a critical component of ensuring sustainable soil and water management, promoting biodiversity, fostering greener food supply chains, and enhancing resilience against climate extremes. However, putting carbon farming into practice to achieve that frequently, requires further investments; such as buying new equipment, devoting time and resources to soil analysis ...
” Planning and resource allocation for the progress of the agricultural sector mainly rely on data on crop area, yield, and production. The planners and policymakers are incharge of formulating effective agricultural policies and making critical decisions on procurement, storage, public distribution, import, export, and other similar ...
Behavioural science is a relatively new approach to understanding agricultural policy in the EU, which has traditionally relied on modelling and other analysis to pre-test the impact of different policy options. ...
In order to meet the needs of agricultural fertilizer, the government should encourage some organic fertilizer equipment manufacturers to become the main production body of their own operation, so as to gain profits in the whole chain and make the service organizations grow rapidly. ...

Particularly for rice, the combination of factors such as surging demand and per capita consumption, low yield resulting from less land under cultivation and irrigation, and high import bill, necessitates policy actions to remove constraints on domestic production. The paper, therefore, suggests policy actions to increase domestic rice production and to minimise ...
It is based on continuous observations and experiences of local farmers who have dedicated themselves to organic agriculture for a significant period of time. It is found that family–led organic farming can contribute significantly to the sustainable use of local agricultural resources. ...
To this end, a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model is used, which is based on data from LEADER+ provided by the Ministry of Agriculture. In particular, the DEA method is used for measuring the relative efficiency of local actions and for the investigation of the inputs and outputs and to show how the maximisation of their relative efficiencies could be achieved through its use. ...
