Objective
THE PROJECT WILL PRODUCE A SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY IN TIGRAY AND A SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL PLANNING WHILE DEVELOPING A RESEARCH AT A LANDSCAPE LEVEL FOR REHABILITATION OF DEGRADED AND DEGRADING AREAS. THE RESEARCH STEPS ARE AS FOLLOWING:
1) SURVEY 0F THE LANDSCAPE FEATURES 0F THE SELECTED AREA: CLIMATE, VEGETATION, SOIL, GEOMORPHOLOGY, CROPS AND AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS, HUMAN POPULATION, WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS. ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF CROPS AND PLANTS SUITABLE FOR REFORESTATION AND SOIL PROTECTION.
2) IDENTIFICATION OF THE AREAS WITH ACTIVE EROSION PROCESSES AND SUITABLE FOR RECOVERY. IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST SUITABLE PLANTS FOR REFORESTATION AND SOIL PROTECTION AND THEIR PROPAGATION BY THE TECHNIQUE 0F TISSUE CULTURE. IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST SUITABLE ENVIRONMENT AND AREAS FOR EACH IMPORTANT CROP.
3) DEVELOPING A SOFTWARE SYSTEM CONTAINING THE INFORMATION ON TOPOGRAPHY AND TERRAIN ASPECTS, VEGETATION, CLIMATE, LAND USE ETC. AND MODELS FOR PLANNING THE REHABILITATION OF DEGRADED AND DEGRADING AREAS FOR PLANNING SUITABLE AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS. THE SOFTWARE WILL INCLUDE A GIS AND MODELS FOR WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, WATERSHED EROSION AND CROP PRODUCTION. THE PROJECT WILL BE AN OCCASION TO TRAIN ETHIOPIAN SCIENTISTS AND TECHNICIANS ON SCIENTIFIC TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES BOTH FOR DEVELOPING A PROBLEM ORIENTED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM, THAN CAN ASSIST IN THE DESIGN AND COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES OF CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION SCHEMES, AS WELL AS IN THE FIELD OF BIOTECHNOLOGY USEFUL FOR AGROECOLOGICAL RESTORATION. THE EUROPEAN SCIENTISTS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT WILL HAVE A FRUITFUL OCCASION To BECOME MORE EXPERT IN TROPICAL AGRICULTURE AND TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT.
