Book Synopsis Dryland Husbandry in Uganda by : E. N. Sabiiti
Download or read book Dryland Husbandry in Uganda written by E. N. Sabiiti and published by OSSREA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pastoral communities in Uganda face shrinking grazing resources, chronic water shortages, livestock diseases, frequent droughts and gender inequity in access to resources. It is a sector that contributes significantly to the national economy: 95% of the livestock under pastoral production contributing about 17% of GDP, besides providing food security; however in the past, there has been little provision for research. Hence this welcome initiative of the Dryland Husbandry Project. The project carries out research and development involving pastoralists in the management and conservation of their resources. This book represents the compilation of ten research papers ensuing from the project, tackling different aspects of the rangelands. It concludes with a series of recommendations for government interventions in order to sustain the utilisation and managements of the drylands in Uganda.

Book excerpt: Crop production in the drought-prone tropics has been relatively neglected by research and development workers, largely due to its poor potential for commercial exploitation. Despite this, a considerable amount of information is available on this subject, but there have been few attempts to draw it together and to relate it to the needs of subsistence and small farmers, and to the particular set of constraints under which they labour.

It adopted a grassroots, bottom up and participatory approach, and intends to further economic and social change in the area. Subjects addressed include indigenous knowledge systems, rangeland resources, range improvement through closure and reseeding trials; veterinary practices, water harvesting, forage trails, sorghum transplanting trials, fruit tree trails and participatory vegetable trials.
Book Synopsis Rebounding from the brink of extinction by : Niemi, Ernie
Download or read book Rebounding from the brink of extinction written by Niemi, Ernie and published by CTA. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in climate that intensify drought and accelerate the spread of livestock parasites and diseases darken the economic future for sub-Saharan pastoralists. Already stressed, as industrial and urban development narrow their access to pastures and water for their animals, many pastoralists face a bleak choice: abandon their livestock and their cultural heritage or die. In Uganda, however, the outlook for pastoralists is becoming much brighter. Thousands of pastoralists in Uganda point the way toward a better option: commercial milk production.
Book Synopsis Dryland Opportunities by : Michael Mortimore
Download or read book Dryland Opportunities written by Michael Mortimore and published by World Conservation Union. This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drylands cover 41 percent of the earth' s terrestrial surface. The urgency of and international response to climate change have given a new place to drylands in terms both of their vulnerability to predicted climate change impacts and their potential contribution to climate change mitigation. This book aims to apply the new scientific insights on complex dryland systems to practical options for development. A new dryland paradigm is built on the resources and capacities of dryland peoples, on new and emergent economic opportunities, on inward investment, and on the best support that dryland science can offer.

Book Synopsis Confronting Drought in Africa's Drylands by : Raffaello Cervigni
Download or read book Confronting Drought in Africa's Drylands written by Raffaello Cervigni and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drylands are at the core of Africa’s development challenge. Drylands make up about 43 percent of the region’s land surface, account for about 75 percent of the area used for agriculture, and are home to about 50 percent of the population, including a disproportionate share of the poor. Due to complex interactions among many factors, vulnerability in drylands is high and rising, jeopardizing the long-term livelihood prospects for hundreds of millions of people. Climate change, which is expected to increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, will exacerbate this challenge. African governments and their partners in the international development community stand ready to tackle the challenges confronting drylands, but important questions remain unanswered about how the task should be undertaken. Do dryland environments contain enough resources to generate the food, jobs, and income needed to support sustainable livelihoods for a fast growing population? If not, can injections of external resources make up the deficit? Or is the carrying capacity of drylands so limited that outmigration should be encouraged? Based on analysis of current and projected future drivers of vulnerability and resilience, the report uses an original modeling framework to identify promising interventions, quantify their likely costs and benefits, and describe the policy trade-offs that will need to be addressed. By 2030, economic growth leading to structural change will allow some of the people living in drylands to transition to non-agriculture based livelihood strategies, reducing their vulnerability. Many others will continue to rely on livestock keeping and crop farming. For the latter group, a number of “best bet†? interventions have the potential to make a significant difference in reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience. This report evaluates the opportunities and challenges associated with these interventions, and it draws a number of conclusions that have important implications for policy making.

Book Synopsis Challenges and Strategies of Dryland Agriculture by : S.C. Rao
Download or read book Challenges and Strategies of Dryland Agriculture written by S.C. Rao and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world has made remarkable progress in maintaining adequate food supplies during the past quarter century by introducing yield-increasing technologies such as better genetics, crop protection products, and more efficient use of fertilizers and irrigations. Far more people depend on irrigation in the modern world than during the times of ancient Sumeria. The spread of irrigation has been the key factor in increasing global crop yields. But future scarcity present the single biggest threat to future food production. The shift of water from agriculture to the growing cities and industry almost certainly will impact global food production. This means that dryland agriculture will be increasingly important in meeting food requirement for the growing population. Advaces in plant genetics and agronomic conservation technologies, when considered in concert, continue to provide the greatest opportunities to achieve sustainability and profitability in dryland agriculture and will continue to be the focus of the ARS research program. The ARS is please to join the crop Science Society of America and international center for Agriculture Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) in sponsoring a symposium “Challenges and strategies for Dryland Agriculture” at the Trisocieties Annual Meeting in November 2002 at Indianapolis, IN. This special publication contains an impressive series of paper by international group of experts on dryland agricultural production, conservation, and policy. The principles, philosophies, and technologies presented in this publication have the potential to contribute to improve food security and livelihoods for the people in dryland regions of the world.
