Sustainable Development of Rainfed Agriculture
On identifying the rainfed districts in the country with less than 30% dependable irrigation, it was found that as many as 326 of the 631 districts studied were rainfed. Various indicators were studied from the latest data as available between rainfed and irrigated districts under arid, semi-arid and humid climatic regimes.

ABSTRACT This study investigates farmers' willingness to pay for a reliable irrigation water supply in Zimbabwe's Tawona irrigation scheme, where intermittent water supply caused by funding shortages threatens irrigation sustainability. Using contingent valuation and logit regression analysis, data were collected from 313 farmers during the 2016/2017 ...

This study demonstrates that explainable deep learning models can skilfully predict short‐term agricultural drought using standardized drought indices, capturing hydroclimatic memory and seasonal persistence. The integration of uncertainty quantification and SHAP‐based interpretability reveals the dominant role of antecedent moisture and climate ...

ABSTRACT Background and aim Conservation agriculture (CA) is rapidly gaining traction to promote sustainable crop production, focusing on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and strategic crop rotation. Moreover, hydrogel is increasingly being used to improve water retention, including in combination with CA, particularly in water limited ...
