A significant increase in the global demand of animal products is expected in the near future, because of evolving food consumption patterns in emerging countries. To fulfil the needs, a “Livestock Revolution” should occur and it will have to target in priority smallholder farms in...

Beaucoup d’agriculteurs, comme les opérateurs des filières aval qui transforment leur production, dépendent aujourd’hui des ressources en eau souterraine. Or, dans de nombreuses régions du monde, en climat aride comme tempéré, les nappes souterraines sont surexploitées et les...

The objective of this work is to analyze the effects that an increase in the price of the water delivered to the agriculture sector to promote the conservation of this resource would have on the efficiency of the consumption of water and the possible reallocation of water to the remaining...

Global climatic changes and water scarcity are attracting major concerns in the recent literature. These issues are particularly important in a country like Sudan, where agriculture contributes over 31% to GDP and the bulk of agricultural production depends on rainfall. Similar to several...

Climate variability, the short-term fluctuations in the weather and agriculture affect each other. Climate variability affects the agroecological and growing conditions of crops and livestock, and is recently believed to be the greatest impediment to the realisation of the first Millennium...

Water resources become increasingly scarce, scarcity that will become acute in the coming years due, among others, to a reduction in water supply, as a result of climate change, and the increase in demand, accentuated by the population increase and the requirements of economic growth and...

Effects of climate change in Turkey, which is already a water stressed country, are expected to be significant. The aim of this paper is to quantify the effects of climate change on overall economy by using an integrated framework incorporating a computable general equilibrium model and a crop...
