Food security in a world of natural resource scarcity: The role of agricultural technologies by Rosegrant, Mark W., Koo, Jawoo, Cenacchi, Nicola, Ringler, Claudia, Robertson, Richard D., Fisher, Myles, Cox, Cindy M., Garrett, Karen, Perez, Nicostrato D., Sabbagh, Pascale

“….: International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). https://ebrary.ifpri.org/digital/collection/p15738coll2/id/128023 Feeding the world in the decades leading up to 2050—decades that will see an increase in food demand spurred by population and income growth and stronger impacts of climate change on agriculture—will require increased and more sustainable agricultural production. To determine how to achieve such production, the authors of the study Food Security in a World of Natural Resource Scarcity used a groundbreaking modeling approach to assess the yield and food security impacts of a broad range of agricultural technologies under varying assumptions regarding climate change and technology adoption. …”

Varietal Interventions and Their Significance in Rice-Based Cropping Systems of Drought-Prone Ecologies in Odisha by Nayak, Swati, Nath, Anirban, Hossain, S.K. Mosharaf, Singh, Varsa, Mohapatra, Subhasmita

“…The deployment of early maturing rice varieties ensures a second crop in otherwise dry-season fallow areas, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices. Finally, in order to ensure a steady supply of seeds for the rice and non-paddy crops, robust varietal and seed system interventions for drylands, carry potential for creating resilient model for combating the drought and its effects among the smallholders.…”

Effect of tillage, fertilizer and sorghum/desmodium intercrop cultivation on soils quality and yield of sorghum in an alfisol of a Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria by Chidowe, O.A., Joshua, T.M., Sunday, A., Dawi, T.B., Oluoch, M., Zeyaur, K.

“…Results show that the soils were initially acid (pH 5.0 to 6.0), had low organic carbon (2.3 to 2.5gkg-1), total nitrogen (0.05gkg-1) and low to moderate available phosphorus (6.7 to 8.5mgkg-1) and needed restoration to support sustainable agricultural production. Tillage, sorghum/Desmodium and N and P fertilizer managements imposed showed that No Till practice (SDNT) sequestered significantly (P<0.05) higher organic carbon value (6.9 gkg-1), followed by Conservation tillage with incorporated and relayed D. …”
