Summary of Hydrological modeling of sustainable land management interventions in the Mizewa watershed of the Blue Nile Basin por Schmidt, Emily, Zemadim, Birhanu

“…The effectiveness of the simulated conservation practices (terraces, bunds, and residue management) are evaluated using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model taking into account investment decisions on different terrain types. Simulations compare the limited investments that currently exist with increases in terracing and residue management activities within the watershed. …”

Conceptual framework and research methods por Birner, Regina, Gupta, Surupa, Sharma, Neeru

“…Since most policy recommendations derived from the studies quoted above are generic, few strategies have been proposed for identifying the most relevant political obstacles to reform or devising specific reform strategies.

Integrated economic-hydrologic water modeling at the basin scale: the Maipo River Basin por Rosegrant, Mark W., Ringler, Claudia, McKinney, Daene C., Cai, Ximing, Keller, Andrew, Donoso, G.

“…Increasing competition for water across sectors increases the importance of the river basin as the appropriate unit of analysis to address the challenges facing water resources management; and modeling at this scale can provide essential information for policymakers in their resource allocation decisions. This paper introduces an integrated economic-hydrologic modeling framework that accounts for the interactions between water allocation, farmer input choice, agricultural productivity, nonagricultural water demand, and resource degradation in order to estimate the social and economic gains from improvement in the allocation and efficiency of water use. …”

Understanding the links between agriculture and health: Agricultural technology and health por Lipton, Michael, Sinha, Saurabh, Blackman, Rachel

“…The adoption of these techniques has benefited nutrition, largely through boosting crop productivity, thereby providing employment and income to rural populations and increasing local and global food supplies... for the health needs of small farmers and laborers—as well as poor consumers—to influence research decisions, governments need to develop (1) institutions and incentives to promote such people’s participation and communication with the formal research community; (2) competition among private research providers; and (3) public research in activities that respond to farmers’ needs but are unlikely to attract formal private research.…”
