ThIRST: Targeted IRrigation Support Tool for sustainable coffee production
The Central Highlands of Vietnam is an important Robusta coffee growing region. However, the region is facing climate change impacts from rising temperatures and irregular rainfall, while Vietnamese coffee farmers predominantly rely on irrigation from heavily depleted aquifers. To continue productiv...

| description | The Central Highlands of Vietnam is an important Robusta coffee growing region. However, the region is facing climate change impacts from rising temperatures and irregular rainfall, while Vietnamese coffee farmers predominantly rely on irrigation from heavily depleted aquifers. To continue productive and sustainable growth, this system requires an innovative approach to meet this hydrological challenge. Here we propose a user-friendly tool, which aims to support coffee farmers’ irrigation decisions, through the Targeted Irrigation Support Tool or ThIRST. ThIRST combines seasonal forecasts, on-farm metrics, and farmer’s expertise. The research comprises baseline ( n = 400) and endline ( n = 237) surveys of coffee farmers in Đắk Lắk and Lâm Đồng Provinces. Through the surveys, farmers’ irrigation needs and the applicability of the tool are evaluated. Despite low smartphone usage for farming advisory, the results show the tool allows coffee farmers to continually achieve water-use efficiency and adapt to climate variability. Involving farmers in the design, production and evaluation of climate services can improve the trust and uptake of agro-advisories and the way this information is communicated. |

Cette étude a examiné les facteurs qui influencent la décision du paysan de produire la banane à cuire pour le marché dans le sud-est du Nigéria. Les résultats de l'étude montrent qu'environ 80% de paysans interrogés produisent la banane à cuire à la fois pour l'autoconsommation et pour la vente. La part destinée au marché varie entre 10% et 90% avec une moyenne de 45%. Ces résultats suggèrent que la banane à cuire sert autant de nourriture que de source de revenu monétaire pour le paysan. Les résultats de l'analyse de régression indiquent que la décision de produire la banane à cuire pour le marché dépend surtout du prix, de la présence d'intermédiaires dans le circuit de commercialisation ainsi que du stade de maturation du fruit au moment de la vente. Ceci signifie que le paysan répond positivement aux forces du marché dans la production de la banane à cuire. L'âge et le sexe du propriétaire de la banane à cuire influencent également la proportion de la production destinée au marché. Une intervention accrue des grossistes et des transformateurs dans le circuit de commercialisation de la banane à cuire contribuerait à accroître l'importance commerciale de cette culture dans la région. 2023-10-25 2023-11-13T09:53:57Z 2023-11-13T09:53:57Z Journal Article https://hdl.handle.net/10568/134463 en Open Access application/pdf Frontiers Media Nguyen, K.T.; Craparo, A.; Nguyen, P.M.; Turreira-García, N.; Talsma, T.; Deniau, A.; Bossolasco, L.; Le, T.D.; Bosselmann, A.S.
