Sillero |Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable intensification of production will rely [...]Article
Agricultural water appropriation has undergone rapid changes in recent decades, but estimates of global water appropriation have not been updated with the latest data and consistent methods. Documenting these changes is challenging given the het[...]Article
Previous studies have shown that enhancing adaptive capacity can reduce vulnerability of farmers to water scarcity and improve their resiliency against environmental changes in the Social-Ecological Systems (SES). The present study aims to evalu[...]Article
