Ethiopia is one of the developing countries in which agriculture is the primary source of its
economy. Being dependent mainly on rainfall, this sector has been adversely affected by
climate change and variability.The ...
Crop diversification is believed to be essential for reducing risk. This study
investigated the extent and determinant factors that affect farmers’ decision for crop
diversification in Kutaber District characterized by ...
One of the numerous factors contributing to soil degradation, both chemically and physically, has long been thought to be land use change. This study was conducted to analyze land use/cover change over 31 years (from 1990 ...
A field experiment was conducted on the Vertisols of Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center (DZARC) and Chefe Donsa experimental sites, central highlands of Ethiopia to evaluate the effects of nutrient omission on yield ...
The potential of the land or its productivity has deteriorated from time to time due to run off,
topographic variations, slope of the land, intensive cultivation, farming on steep slopes and
deforestation. This study ...
Climate variability poses a significant threat to many sectors of the economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Agriculture is one of the most climate-sensitive sectors as it relies on rain-fed agriculture. Therefore this study ...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are essential for climate change
mitigation and agricultural production. The study was conducted in 2022 to evaluate SOC and
TN stocks variation under different ...
To determine the soil's primary potentials and constraints, soil characterization and
pedological classification are crucial. However, much of Ethiopia’s documented soil
information is scanty and inadequate relative to ...
Irrigation Agriculture plays an important role to maintain sustainable food security by improving agricultural production. Uneven distribution and rainfall shortage resulted in unsustainable food production leading to food ...

ABSTRACT
Despite widespread reports concerning the role of agroforestry in rural livelihood,
sustainable development, environmental protection, and recently in climate change
mitigation and adaptation, not much is known ...
Conserving woody species in parkland agroforestry in many landscapes of the Amhara region,
Ethiopia plays a vital role in not only conservation but also production and productivity.
Womberima is among the districts in ...
Soil erosion by water is one of the major threats to soils in the Northwestern Ethiopian
highlands. Soil erosion not only decreases agricultural productivity, but also reduces the
water availability. The objectives of ...
services, market and introducing new technologies are forwarded as recommendations. Ethiopia is one of the most vulnerable countries of the world to the impacts of climate variability and socio economic factors that makes ...
Climate change is happening and perceived as a worldwide environmental issues. It is a
major threat to people's lives and livelihoods. This study identifies the major methods used by
farmers to adapt climate change in ...
The adoption of improved cook stoves is critical performance parameters of the cooking system that must be monitored. No stove program can achieve its goals unless people initially accept the stoves. In Ethiopia agricultural ...
Gully erosion in the Ethiopian Highlands dissects vital agricultural lands with the eroded materials adversely impacting downstream resources, such as siltation of reservoirs. While gully expansion and rehabilitation have ...
Information on Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes and the driving forces behind
such modifications underpin a proper understanding of the dynamics of LULC changes.
This study aimed to analyses the dynamics of LULC ...
Freshwater is very vital for the endurance of all living organisms, it is becoming a scarce
resource in terms of quantity and quality. Because it is exposed to physical, chemical, and
bacteriological contaminants emanating ...
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence the adoption and effectiveness of
irrigation practices in the small-scale irrigation scheme(SSI) of Arefa and Babicha. SSI is one of the
most useful ...
