Diversion of flashy floods for agricultural use and its effect on nutrition in Ethiopia
Farmers in rural Ethiopia live in a climate-related shock-prone environment. The major source of climate shock is the persistent variation in the amount and distribution of rainfall. The dependence on unreliable rainfall increases farmers? vulnerability to shocks while also constraining farmers? ...
The Ethiopian part of the Nile basin is dominated by a mixed crop-livestock rainfed agriculture constrained by temporal and spatial variations in climate, relief, soil, and sever land degradation exacerbated by lack of appropriate technologies.
