Understanding farmers’ adaptation to water scarcity: a case study from the western Nile Delta, Egypt by Ghazouani, Wafa, Molle, Francois, Swelam, A., Rap, Edwin, Abdo, A.

“…These additional factors include food security of the family, risk management, social capital and history of farmers, and most unexpectedly the collective dimension of crop choice. The findings of this study expose the limitations of projects, modeling exercises or policy recommendations that are too often based on the oversimplified view of profit maximization as the basis of farming system dynamics.…”

CIAT SOC APP by Sommer, Rolf, Koech, Nicholas, Godiah, David

“…This web application provides a platform where users can visualize the organic carbon content of a soil of their choice, as well as the quantitative impact of soil conserving management practices on sequestration, how such sequestration would unfold over time and what would be the magnitude of SOC sequestration if the anticipated practice (to foster SOC seq.) would be scaled out to countries, sub-continents or the entire world. …”
