Since 2014, drought has been strongly affecting Central Highlands’ agriculture, particularly coffee production. The drought leads to changes in flowering, ripening and thus harvesting times of coffee. Coffee productivity has reduced about 50 percent. Ultimately, coffee quantity and quality is jeopardized which endangers coffee farmers who occupy 90 per cent of population and their livelihoods mainly rely on coffee. Most of coffee farmers have had to develop alternative strategies to respond to the drought. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from 50 coffee households in a community in the Central Highlands, this research has indicated that farmers had to find the ways to adapt as well as to cope with drought. The ways of adaptation and coping were diverse, including short, medium and long-term plans. To strengthen the adaptation and coping strategies of farmers with drought in the short term, it is recommended that authorities provide more technical and financial support to farmers. Furthermore, longer term strategies need to focus on land use planning, investment in irrigation schemes, and consolidated afforestation schemes in appropriate areas.","PeriodicalId":106503,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, this study was aimed to mitigate the effect of these droughts on yield. Surveys have been done during August 2017 in three lowlands and at the extension services of the Ministry of Agriculture. Climatic data for the last 30 years have been analyzed by using Franquin method versus rice water need in Houet lowland area, Burkina Faso. The results show, that small holder farmers use five improved varieties with cropping cycle varies from 95 to 120 days. The sowing period is between midJune to mid-July. And Yields in this lowland have depended strongly by rainfall. Analyse of climate data versus rice water’s need show that, 97 % over this period, rice water needs were not met at 100%. To mitigate the effects of drought on the productivity of lowland rice, for direct seeding, the periods of 20 to 25 June and 20 to 25 July are suitable for rice varieties with 120 day and 90 days of cropping cycle respectively.","PeriodicalId":106503,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126103532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Burkina Faso, the share of the agriculture sector to the real GDP is the largest historically and represented 44% in 2016. Furthermore, this sector remains heavily dependent on climatic conditions. With regard importance to these facts, the objective of the present study is to analyze the vulnerability of the agricultural sector, mainly the production of maize, millet, sorghum and rice in Burkina Faso to the effects of climate change. To test the hypothesis whether \"climate variables, such as rainfall and temperature have a positive impact on cereal production,\" a linear model was estimated by the stepwise method on panel data. The results show that increased precipitation would result in an increased production of maize, millet and sorghum and decreased that of rice. While an increase in temperature contributes to a decrease of the latter. Thus, the impact of climate change on agriculture is real in Burkina Faso and the adoption of effective adaptation and mitigation is of great importance.","PeriodicalId":106503,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128244649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different strategies are then put in place in various areas of activity to reduce environmental impacts and improve environmental performance. This study then aims to analyze the relationship between environmental efficiency and the economic performance of cotton production in Benin. The study was conducted with 355 cotton producers (175 conventional and 180 organic) randomly selected in northern Benin. Indicators to measure economic performance are s are gross margin per hectare, capital and labor productivity. Data analysis were performed by using the Spearman correlation coefficient and linear regression. Findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between environmental efficiency and economic performance indicators listed above. Results provide insightful information to producers and policy-makers regarding the importance of integrating environmental objectives into production decisions. In addition, improvement in capacity building of producers through environmental awareness and education is then essential for a better integration of sustainable technologies that reduce the level of pollution in the production process in order to promote sustainable development.

FAO framework was used as a guide in selecting variables for the land evaluation. An Analytical Hierarchical Process was used to assign weights to the selected factors with respect to their relative importance, while pairwise comparison was used to rank the factors. The priority generated was used to assign weights in ArcGIS 10.5 weighted overlay toolset in spatial analyst tool. The resulting weights are based on the principal eigenvector of the decision matrix. From the priority value derived from the pairwise comparison result, the criteria were reclassified according to their suitability level and weighted overlay toolset was used to merge the criteria from which the results were obtained. The study area was classified into three categories based on rice cultivation suitability, namely: Highly suitable-S1, moderately suitable-S2, marginally suitable- S3. The result indicates that that 18% (79.925 sq.km) of the total land area is highly suitable for cultivating rice, 70% (326.019 sq.km) is moderately suitable while 12% (57.725 sq.km) is marginally suitable.
