The fact that expansive soils are a major engineering problem makes their study an
important research aspect due to the accruing cost involved in terms of economic
loss when construction is undertaken without due consideration to the probability
of their presence. Tho...
CIAT’s research showed that coffee production is highly sensitive to climate change and that by 2050 coffee growing areas will move approximately 300 meters up the altitudinal gradient and push farmers at lower altitudes out of coffee production, increase pressure on forests and natural resources...

Working in partnership with national research institutions, IRRI has developed the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) rice management practice. The practice reduces water use by up to 30% and methane emissions by 48% without impacting yield. With efficient nitrogen use and application of organic ...
