This book focuses on the status quo and the latest information on
the water-soil-agriculture nexus in the MENA countries. It presents
several case studies and applications from e.g. Morocco, Algeria,
Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan, while also sharing and discussing the
latest findings. The content includes a range of
agriculture-related topics that focus on: water resources
management, impacts of climate change, and wastewater treatment for
reuse in agriculture sectors; in addition, sustainable approaches
to agricultural-based industry, organic crop production, crop water
requirements, and soil environment are discussed in an updated and
comprehensive review. In turn, the book discusses the applications
of GIS and remote sensing as a new technology for better
agriculture management, as well as its use in Egypt as a
representative country. In closing, it considers the implementation
of an environmental information system in data-scarce MENA
countries from the standpoint of the water-food nexus, and
addresses the question of climate justice in the MENA region.
Exploring various dimensions of MENA country-based case studies on
achieving sustainable agriculture, the book offers an invaluable
source of topical information for agricultural
sustainability-related stakeholders in the region, researchers and
graduate students alike.
This book focuses on monitoring and assessing various environmental
processes in Tunisia using state-of-the-art remote sensing and GIS
technologies. In addition to addressing the diversity of Tunisian
landscapes and providing spatial analysis of natural, cultivated
and urbanized environments. It presents and discusses several case
studies on integrated RS / GIS approaches for mapping, modeling,
monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, in this volume authored by
experts in the topic from Tunisia and other countries, authors
assess the agro-environmental applications from Tunisia and offer
different methods and applications to environmental processes and
risks including drought, degradation, flood, planning, Yield
estimation, dust storm detection, dry land vulnerability, wetland
dynamics and others. The material presented here will help
decision-makers plan sustainable landscape and agricultural
management policies that preserve biodiversity and contribute to
achieving sustainability goals and for researchers, it will expose
methodological approaches used in different fields of research.
Graduate students and Practionioner engineers working in the field
of RS/GIS will also benefit from the book. The book ends with a set
of conclusions and recommendations to support researchers
underscoring the need for further research in this area.
This book highlights recent efforts to sustain agricultural
productivity in Tunisia under a stressed environment and aridity
conditions. This book's authors gathered a unique set of
applications and approaches, including techniques applied to
increase yield and preserve the environment, such as organic
farming and using biochar amendment and its effects on soils'
physicochemical properties. This book also presents water resources
management and water management practices for sustainable soil
production, diagnosis, and new farming technologies to enhance
water-use efficiency. The book also addresses current livestock
strategies intended to maintain production sustainability, increase
fish productivity, and initiatives for sustainable tourism
development. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for
policy planners, decision-makers, stakeholders, researchers, and
graduate students in Tunisia and neighboring countries with
similarly stressed environmental conditions.
