SLM CoP Presentation given by Tatenda Lemann at the SKIM Regional Workshop in Rabat, Morocco November 14th, 2019.

This is a presentation on the functionally context socio-ecological type (fCSET) approach to support out-scaling of agricultural innovation options, and empirical analysis across three Maghreb countries (Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco). As the result, distinguished fCSETs on rain-fed and grass/herbaceous-based land were defined, characterized and mapped.

This explanatory video illustrates the higher crop yields and increased water efficiency as a result of the raised-bed agriculture component of the project.

Opening presentation of the Monitoring Evaluation and Learning, Data Management and Geo-informatics Option by Context - Learning Week in Tunisia, the 1st and 2nd of November.
The presentation discuss the importance of proper data curation from an institutional point of view.

Cet ouvrage de Omar Bessaoud aborde des thèmes cruciaux et des problématiques qui émergent ces derniers mois dans les débats publics, au sein des associations et des divers cercles et think tank nationaux (sécurité alimentaire du pays, compétitivité de l’agriculture, effets du changement climatique, foncier rural…).

Rangelands are recognized for their importance and value in providing society with valuable products and ecosystem services. In such ecosystems, effective management is needed for sustainable plant growth and survival in a context characterized by rainfall unreliability, poor soil nutrient status and high uncontrolled grazing.

ICARDA continued to play a critical role in the development, improvement, and dissemination of climate-resilient crop varieties last year. The varieties strengthened food and nutritional security and provided a critical defense against extreme temperatures, water scarcity, and the emergence of new pests and diseases.

Presentation on Major Recent ICARDA Water & Land Management Research Initiatives in Morocco.

Tunisia, like many other countries, suffers from land degradation. Conservation agriculture is among the proper solutions to overcome this issue. The objective of our investigation is to determine the factors that influence the adoption of CA in Siliana, one of Tunisia’s most affected regions by erosion.
