Rapid expansion of irrigated agriculture in the Senegal River Valley following the 2008 food price crisis
The expansion of irrigated croplands throughout the 20th century boosted global agricultural productivity, yet limited improvement occurred in sub-Saharan Africa where many irrigation schemes and policies under-delivered. We mapped the distribution of croplands under active irrigation between 1986 and 2020 for one of Africa’s largest and most important transboundary river basins—the Senegal River Valley; using Landsat imagery with a random forest…
Performance of large-scale irrigation projects in sub-Saharan Africa
Weather dataset choice introduces uncertainty to estimates of crop yield responses to climate variability and change
Weather shocks, such as heatwaves, droughts, and excess rainfall, are a major cause of crop yield losses and food insecurity worldwide. Statistical or process-based crop models can be used to quantify how yields will respond to these events and future climate change. However, the accuracy of weather-yield relationships derived from crop models, whether statistical or process-based, is dependent on the quality of the underlying input data used to …
