Dryland cereals and legumes are important crops in farming systems across the world. Yet they are frequently neglected among the priorities for international agricultural research and development, often due to lack of information on their magnitude...
This article develops new estimates of historical agricultural productivity growth in Jordan. It investigates how public policies such as agricultural research, investment in irrigation capital, and water pricing have contributed to agricultural...
Conservation Agriculture (CA) have a large potential for enhancing cereal yields in the semi-arid areas through
better management of soil moisture. The objective of the current paper is to quantify, at national level, the impact
of CA adoption in...
Deforestation of native forests for crop production in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, located in the Lake

Plant biomass is usually assumed to be positively correlated with canopy cover. Measurements of
canopy cover can now be easily and precisely made through image processing of high-resolution
digital photography. This study aims to determine rapid...
The main objectives of the current study are to quantify the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth of durum wheat sector in Tunisia and to identify its main determinants. The Malmquist index approach was applied for the calculation of TFP growth...
