Vegetables are increasingly recognized as essential for food and nutrition security. Vegetable production provides a promising economic opportunity reducing rural poverty unemployment in developing countries is key component of farm diversification strategies. mankind's most affordable source vitamins minerals needed good health. Today, neither the nor nutritional power vegetables sufficiently realized. To tap vegetables, governments will need to increase their investment productivity...
Most African countries are far from self-sufficient in meeting their rice consumption; eight the production: consumption ratio, ranged 0.16 to 1.18 2012. We show that for year 2025, with population growth, diet change and yield increase on existing land (intensification), cannot become fully rice. This implies future, a mixture of area expansion imports will be needed top gap closure. Further research is identification most suitable new areas should protected.
Abstract The low water use efficiency of irrigated lowland rice is partly due to loss by percolation. Mechanisms percolation losses were studied in a puddled field with permeable subsoil using simulation models and experiments. Inclusion small nonpuddled areas (1.5 m 2 per 100 soil) within the 5‐cm ponding depth (PWD) increased from 2.7 mm d −1 15 . Under‐bund rate (lateral movement ponded into bunds, then vertically down table) was about 10 25 field. A one‐dimensional mechanistic soil‐water...
