  Agricultural interventions and investment options for climate change in drought and saline - flood prone regions of Bangladesh

  Bioforsk / Norwegian Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research, 2014

  Rice is the staple food in Bangladesh and crucial for the food security in the country. The alluvial soil deposits, through an extensive river network across Bangladesh, have contributed to a fertile land with high rice productivity potential. However, the frequent occurrence of floods, salinity and drought has repeatedly threatened the food security especially in the rural areas.

  Opportunities for support to System of Rice Intensification in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi

  Noragric, Department of International Environment and Development Studies, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2014

  There is a great potential for increasing the production of rice in Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi. Many of the constraints on rice production are similar for the three countries. Common problems are low quality of seeds, lack of access to inputs, poorly functioning irrigation schemes, poor soil fertility management, weed infestation, low yields and low technical capacity.

  Learning the hard way? Adapting to climate risk in Tanzania

  Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 2014

  We use recent panel data on Tanzanian farm households to investigate how previous exposure to weather shocks affects the impact of a current shock. Specifically, we investigate the impact of droughts on agricultural outcomes and investments in children’s health, measured by their short- and long-term nutritional status.

  On-farm treatment options for wastewater, greywater and fecal sludge with special reference to West Africa

  International Water Management Institute, 2014

  This paper focuses on the on-farm treatment of waste water, particularly in West Africa, and argues that while although it can hardly replace conventional treatment, it can contribute to risk reduction, especially if combined with other barriers such as safe irrigation practices and post-harvest crop washing.
