Rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia: a systematic review of green water management pathways to improve water and food security by Ermias Teferi, Ermias Teferi, Tibebu Kassawmar, Tibebu Kassawmar, Woldeamlak Bewket, Woldeamlak Bewket, Gete Zeleke, Gebiaw T. Ayele, Greg O’Donnell, Claire Walsh

“…The analysis reveals a large yield gap and water productivity gap for major crops like maize, sorghum, and wheat in Ethiopia’s rainfed agriculture. Increasing crop yields through better soil, water, and crop management practices can significantly improve water productivity, offering “windows of opportunity” to enhance food and water security. …”
