1. 1. Increasing crop yields under climate change scenarios in Nigeria

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Imogen O'Keefe; [2020]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Agriculture; Climate Change; Crop Yields and Management Strategies; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to the population.

3. 2. Small-scale biogas production from organic waste and application in mid-income countries – a case study of a Lebanese community

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Sebastian Huber; [2019]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Lebanon; small-scale; biogas production; organic waste; liquid digestate; anaerobic digestion; feasibility study;

   Abstract : The controlled anaerobic digestion of organic waste in a biogas facility aggregates advantages of waste treatment, energy recovery and nutrient recycling and is a promising technology to deal with contemporary issues of waste management and energy recovery. Small-scale biogas production units can be simply designed and successfully operated even in settings where means for advanced technology equipment are low and institutional capacities limited.

6. 5. Climate change impacts on crop yields and adaptive measures for agricultural sector in the lowlands of Lesotho

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Maoela Malebajoa; [2010]
   Keywords : climate change; A2 and B2 SRES; MAGICC SCENGEN; CROPWAT; Crop Yields; adaptive measures; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Summary: Climate change has emerged as the most outstanding of the environmental challenges and there is a necessity to evaluate its impacts on the vulnerable development sectors such as agriculture. In this study, spatially adjusted general circulation models and crop models were used to simulate climate change scenarios and the associated cereal crops yields for the western lowlands of Lesotho for the year 2030-2050 and 2080-2100.
