1. Exploring Crop Suitability in Senegal Across Global Warming Scenarios: an In-silico ApproachFood production systems in Africa are fragile and vulnerable to climate change. In this context, rising temperatures are the primary cause of the anticipated negative climate change impacts on crop yields. Future yield reductions poses a challenging setting for smallholders to attain self-sufficiency, but new opportunities for managing the risk via implementationof decisions towards mitigate these negative effects from an economic, nutritional, and productive standpoint. Therefore, the object... A. Carcedo, I. Ciampitti |
2. Drone Use Extension and Demonstrations Support Management of Riparian Areas, Grazing Land, and Water QualityAgricultural and natural resource managers have explored a variety of ways in which drones might be used to aid in decision-making. One of the most useful ways may be the production of orthorectified aerial photography which can have very high spatial and temporal resolution. Such photography offers new opportunities for visualizing and measuring features on the landscape. Not just measuring the two-dimensional characteristics of landscape features, but also measuring three-dimensional charac... W. Boyer |
3. Potential for Improving African Smallholder Cereal Farming Using Sentinel-2A Spectral ReflectanceCereal crops are critical for African smallholder farmers seeking to improve regional food availability, yet many struggle with low productivity from non optimal practices. This present study evaluated the possibility of using the satellite Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument data to inform management techniques tailored to African small-scale cereal farms’ local conditions. Improved practices maize, wheat, and rice plots were established respectively in Togo, Tunisia, and Tanzania... A. Biaou, S. Phillips |
4. Sugarcane Yield Mapping Using an On-board Volumetric SensorFew alternatives are available to the sugarcane sector for monitoring crop productivity. However, in recent years, research has been dedicated to developing methods ranging from estimation based on engine parameters to using sensors and artificial intelligence. This study aims to present a new tool for monitoring productivity applied to sugarcane cultivation, which utilizes a volumetric optical sensor, in contrast to other methods already used for this measurement, and is recently being intro...
