Soil moisture stress is one of the major problems that affect the growth and yield of sorghum crops during the main season in arid and semi-arid areas of East Hararghe. In such an area, integrated in-situ water conservation ...
Soil Organic carbon (SOC) is vital to the soil’s ecosystem functioning as well as improving soil
fertility. Slight variation in C in the soil has significant potential to be either a source of CO2 in
the atmosphere or ...
Increasing heat stress threatens livestock production especially lactating dairy cows across the world. Therefore this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of heat stress on physiological parameters, adaptation and ...
Climate smart agriculture is an approach that minimizes the adverse effects of climate change by increasing production, strengthening adaptation, and providing mitigation to smallholder farmers. This study was initiated ...

Ethiopia's adaptive capacity to climate change is limited by limited livelihood options and insufficient ability to withstand it. Pastoralists are extremely impacted by climate change and variability. Therefore, this study ...
Many smallholder farmers in the developing world live in adverse poverty, and rely on agriculture as their primary source of income and household food. In Zambia agriculture production is the main activity for people in ...
Soil fertility depletion in smallholder farms is the fundamental biophysical root cause for
declining per capita food production in Sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change exacerbates the
problem of poor soil health. The ...
Maize is an important food security crop in the central rift valley of Ethiopia. Applying a Nitrogen
fertilizer in maize production entails costs to smallholder farmers and results in nitrous oxide emission to
the ...
Maize productivity under irrigation is affected by several factors including climate, soil and water management, quality of water and soil, and levels of irrigation and fertilizer application. This study consisted of four ...
The adverse impact of climate change on agricultural productionand productivity is increasing
over time in Ethiopia. Smallholder farmers are the most vulnerable group of the society to the
effects of climate change in ...

Maize is the second most important cereal crop in eastern Ethiopia. However, climate change
and variability is affecting its productivity in the region. Thus, studies that included survey,
climate data analysis, and ...
The effects of climate change have hit the agriculture sector in Africa hard. Making adjustments
to adapt to the changing environment is critical for countries like Ethiopia, whose primary
source of income is subsistence ...
