Radical improvement of low-yield pastures by strip placement of perennial drought-resistant grasses in the conditions of the foothill-semi-desert zone of south-eastern Kazakhstan
This technology promotes gender-responsive sustainable land management in Origo Maje, Ogun State, through agroforestry, soil conservation, and climate-smart agriculture practices that empower women and men equally to enhance land productivity, restore degraded ecosystems, and improve livelihoods
In response to changing environmental conditions, it can be valuable to adopt new plant varieties that offer benefits such as drought tolerance. The technology described covers one such response in Switzerland.
Production of cassava (Manihot esculenta) helps to address drought and improves food security.
Jawahir, an improved durum wheat variety, serves as a resilient solution to the challenges of climate change in dry areas by offering disease and pest resistance, drought tolerance, higher grain and straw yields, as well as cost savings, thereby enhancing farmers' income and sustainability.
The introduction of 'Kounouz,' a drought-tolerant barley variety, has significantly enhanced farm income and reduced production risks for small-scale farmers in Tunisia.
Introduction of sustainable water usage to prevent impacts of seasonal droughts in Barind region, Bangladesh
The technology utilizes a drought-tolerant native forage legume, Hedysarium coronarium, to restore degraded soils by covering the soil, fixing nitrogen, improving biodiversity and increasing water infiltration while fodder quality and availability is improved.
Drought-resistant fruit seedlings are being produced by vulnerable, women-led households in backyard nurseries. These will be planted out in agroforestry plots within the dry agrolandscapes of Southern Tajikistan.
Desert fodder plants cultivation in rainfed conditions provides adaptation to drought, creates feed reserves for livestock and prevents the water erosion development
Digging ponds on farms to harvest rain water used for irrigating crops during drought provides a means for addressing a lack of water at the start of crop cultivation, both before the start of the rainy season and after the end of the rainy season. The main objective of this practice is to increase the duration of the potential growing seasons for crops. A pond with a storage capacity of 2,412 cubic meter of water can potentially irrigate crops year-round in an area of at least 1.6 hectares, including during the dry-season.
