Abstract:
Climate change is having profound and complex impacts on the agricultural sector, posing major risks to food security and sustainable agriculture. Agricultural extension services improve farmers’ capacity to adapt to climate change by increasing their knowledge and skills, and thus play a role in ensuring the sustainability of agricultural production and food security. In this study, the benefits of agricultural extension in teaching climate-smart agricultural techniques to farmers and in the implementation of these techniques are emphasised. In the light of case studies and current research, the contributions of agricultural extension to farmers in areas such as efficient use of water, soil health protection, increasing crop diversity and integration of digital tools are discussed. The results emphasise the importance of agricultural extension services in adapting to climate change and reveal the need to expand and improve the quality of these services. Expanding the scope and improving the quality of agricultural extension services can be recommended to increase the adaptive capacity of farmers to climate change and increase the sustainability of agricultural production.

Abstract:
AbstractProviding information at scale about improved agricultural practices to smallholder farmers remains a challenge in most developing countries. Traditional dissemination methods like in-person meetings or radio programming can be costly to scale or offer too generic information. Moreover, while most agronomic recommendations focus on maximizing crop yields, farmers weigh multiple other factors when making farming decisions, such as the profitability of investments and risks. The proliferation of mobile phones has shifted these trends. Mobile agriculture extension can cost-effectively provide tailored suggestions to farmers and improve their use of information. This case study describes the use of digital extension technologies to support farmers in a number of contexts. We draw insights from various studies and the experience of Precision Development on the importance of human-centered design, monitoring, and continuous experimentation. The chapter also discusses the ecosystem of stakeholders for digital agriculture, concerns relating to privacy and financing, and how mobile services can be used to facilitate social learning.

Abstract:
Abstract Conservation Agriculture (CA) is an important component in addressing food insecurity, biodiversity degradation and water scarcity challenges. Its adoption in Africa has lagged behind other continents. One major area of need to enable the acceleration of the adoption of CA in Africa relates to building the necessary cross-sectoral institutional and human capacity across the education-research-extension-enterprise axis along the value chain. This study was conducted in order to contribute to the discussions about the need to create sustainable institutions: specifically, Conservation Agriculture Centres of Excellence (CA-CoEs) in Africa. The CA-CoEs model includes a stakeholder team, a shared facility or an entity that provides leadership, best practices, research, support and/or training in CA, with linkages to service providers along the value chain. This literature-based research involved systematic identification, collection, analysis and documentation of data to identify and address the unique roles these CA-CoEs play in the promotion and adoption of CA and their level of performance. It employed a CA quality assurance self-assessment tool to measure the performance of the CA-CoEs against predetermined performance descriptors. Although the CA-CoEs are facilitating and catalysing adoption of CA, their capacity in providing the CA-related programmes, training and research is not optimal. CA-CoE quality assurance of services can be helpful in identification and design of measures for addressing the challenges faced. To be impactful, CA-CoEs need well-coordinated, participatory and demand-driven CA-based agricultural practices, information services and knowledge for farmers and other stakeholders such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), CA service providers and CA equipment manufacturers.

Abstract:
Abstract Rain-fed and irrigated agriculture are key to economic growth, job creation, food security, and livelihoods across Africa. Agriculture in Mali is mainly rain-fed and thus vulnerable to the country’s fluctuating climate, which undermines crop production and productivity. The PRISMA protocol and SPIDER framework were used to systematically review Mali’s irrigation development and agricultural water management. Mali invested in irrigated agriculture across scales to decouple agriculture from unreliable rainfall, but the potential for expansion still exists. The Malian government also developed several policies to create an enabling environment that promotes agricultural water management (AWM). Farmers employ various agricultural water management practices to control and conserve water and soil. In line with the African Union irrigation development and agricultural water management (AU-IDAWM) framework, there exists operationalization challenges in Mali. These challenges include weak implementation of policies by authorities and lack of awareness among farmers, to mention a few. Farmers lack access to inputs, technology, extension services and credit. The government lacks the financial capacity to rehabilitate irrigation schemes such as Office du Niger, wherein it politically allocated land to foreign large-scale investors without the involvement of the farmers and the management agency, and this may affect the sustainability of irrigated agriculture. Wastewater irrigation suffers from non-recognition, lack of support from all spheres, and risks to human health and the environment. Thus, the government must revamp policy implementation and utilize alternative financing models to rehabilitate irrigation infrastructure, such as private–public partnerships (PPPs). There is a need to minimize political interference in the allocation of agricultural land in the Office du Niger. Subsidies are needed to support farmers with technology and inputs for irrigation and AWM. Farmers, extension workers, and equipment suppliers must be trained to build their capacity. Wastewater irrigation contributes to food supply, income generation, and livelihoods in peri-urban and urban areas. Thus, this practice must be formalized and supported by policies, guidelines, regulations, standards, and technologies for on-site water treatment and safer irrigation practices.

Abstract:
Abstract Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a gateway technology intended to build both the productivity and resilience of smallholder farmers. Since 2010, the Ireland-based NGO Concern Worldwide has been promoting CA with extremely poor farmers in Malawi and Zambia. In the context of the specific regions within both countries, similar conditions of limited labour capacity, low financial capacity, poor soil health and constrained agriculture extension services were the primary barriers to the poorest farmers. Initial CA projects utilized broad, standardized approaches to CA with subsidized inputs that led to yield increases, but saw limited non-subsidized adoption. As a result, Concern has adapted its approaches to CA to better accommodate and embrace innovation by lead farmers, understanding different adoption strategies for follower farmers and working to improve input supply systems to meet farmers' needs. However, major constraints to adoption remain for the poorest and, going forward, CA projects will need to incorporate robust strategies for household financial stability such as the graduation model; fostering greater innovation by lead farmers within CA principles to meet local contexts; and integrating seed selection and saving for non-commercialized food crops to spur large-scale adoption of CA by the poorest farmers.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction of Conservation Agriculture (CA) and associated climate-resilient agriculture practices within an innovation system approach, and using farmer-level experimentation and learning groups as the primary learning and social empowerment processes, has created a sustainable and expanding farming alternative for smallholders that is improving their resilience to climate change substantially. Through a knowledge co-creation process, smallholder farmers in the programme have adapted and incorporated a wide range of practices into their farming system, including minimum soil disturbance, close spacing, improved varieties, judicious use of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides, crop diversification, intercropping and crop rotation as well as fodder production and livestock integration. They have organized themselves into learning groups, local savings and loan associations, water committees, farmer centres and cooperatives and in so doing have created innovation platforms for local value chain development. They have built ongoing relationships with other smallholders, NGOs, academic institutions, government extension services and agribusiness suppliers, and have promoted CA tirelessly within their local communities and social networks. To date, this is the most successful model for implementation of CA in smallholder farming in South Africa and, through networking and upscaling activities, is being promoted nationally as a strategic approach to smallholder adaptation and mitigation programming, in line with the Africa climate smart agriculture (CSA) Vision 25×25 (NEPAD, Malabo, June 2014).

Abstract:
Abstract Since its introduction into the Southern Highlands of Tanzania by researchers 25 years ago, Conservation Agriculture (CA) has been well received, researched and the concept proven to be increasing productivity and incomes, enhancing resilience of livelihoods and contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. CA research, as defined by the three interlined principles, was introduced into the Southern Highlands by the Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) Uyole, formerly Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) Uyole around 1995. Research results showed a labour saving of up to 70% in CA compared to conventional tillage, yield increases of 26%-100% and 360% for maize and sunflower, respectively, partly attributed to higher moisture content (18%-24%) in CA systems. CA was also found to be much more effective in mitigating dry spells and increasing productivity in maize production in areas where average annual rainfall is less than 770 mm. Economic analysis of maize production showed that profits in CA were three times more than in conventional tillage production at US$526.9 ha<sup>-1</sup> and US$ 176.6 ha<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Profits were twice as much for beans under CA at US$917.4 ha<sup>-1</sup> compared to US$376.3 ha<sup>-1</sup> for conventional practice. Studies confirm that 5% of farmers in the Southern Highlands have adopted CA. Increased uptake requires addressing challenges including resistance to change in mindset, inaccessibility of appropriate mechanization and cover crop seeds, traditions of free-range communal grazing of livestock (which makes it difficult for farmers to retain crop residue in their farms) and shortage of investment capital. A holistic value chain approach is recommended in CA interventions, bringing together various stakeholders including scientists, trainers, extension workers, administrators, policy makers, agro-inputs and machinery dealers, machinery service providers, agro-processors and financial institutions. The innovations adaptation set-up brings service providers closer to farmers for co-innovation. Long-term CA programmes are recommended, with farmers being taken through the complete learning cycle in testing CA technologies under their own farm environments. This should be complemented by entrepreneurial CA machinery hire services provision to increase the availability of farm power to smallholders unlikely to have the capital or skills to buy and manage their own machinery. The proof of application of the CA concept in the Southern Highlands has set the stage for further scaling the adoption of CA through support from national policies and programmes.

Abstract:
In modern agriculture, farmers face certain problems in obtaining necessary information and improving agricultural production. This paper aimed to reveal the standpoints of farmers related to the role of agricultural extension services (AES) as a source of information and farmers’ opinion on the quality of work of extension officers. In order to examine this goal, two municipalities were selected, Alibunar and Kruševac. A total of 65 farmers were included in the research and a survey of their attitudes was conducted. The analysis of farmers’ attitudes indicates that some of them are still not

Abstract:
Increasing production per unit area or expanding the existing agricultural land are important to meet the food demand of the rapidly growing population. To address the challenge, digital agricultural technologies have been used to increase access to agricultural information such as weather forecasts, provide agricultural extension services and reduce the cost of project implementation as well as shorten the time-of-service delivery. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the available and easily accessible CSA digital technologies that contribute to at least two pillars of Climate-Smart Agr

Abstract:
Ethiopia has set agricultural commercialization as one of the policy priorities to transit from subsistence-oriented agriculture to commercialized one, which could ensure stable livelihoods for both producers and consumers. Despite this, much of the country's crop production, particularly tuber crops, is still subsistence-based. Potato is the leading tuber crop in Ethiopia in terms of its production capacity, productivity, and market demand, and its commercialization could significantly impact the policy. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the determinants and prospects of the intensity of pota

Abstract:
Communal forests occupy one million hectares in the Northern of Portugal and Galicia. Since centuries ago, “Baldios” and “Montes Veciñais en Man Común” (MVMC) played an essential function in the economy of their owner communities. This role was lost all through the last century due to the enormous afforestation and the decrease of agriculture. The restitution of democratic regimes returned the communal forests tenure to the communities. Given the extension and high average area, our paper aims to research its potentialities and limitations of contribution to rural development. Two case studies

This paper analyzes the impact of the Farm Modernization and Development Program (PREDEG) on the technology uptake and productivity of Uruguayan farmers. Using a unique panel dataset, the authors combine propensity score matching techniques and fixed effects models to estimate the program's impact. Although the results vary according to the crops, the authors find consistent evidence that the program increased the rate of adoption of certified varieties and the density of plantation. However, there is only limited evidence of its effects on productivity, mostly derived from helping producers t

Abstract:
Many years of significant investment into the production and adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies and practices in agriculture have not yielded the desired results. Most smallholder farmers in Africa remain trapped in poverty. Having realised that addressing production challenges alone is not enough to impact the lives of poor smallholder farmers, resources and attention have now shifted to the marketing side of agriculture. Organising farmers into farmer producer organisations (FPOs), like clubs, associations and cooperatives, has been one of the strategies aimed at commercialising
