This article aims to explore how cities can do better in reducing the risk ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate alternative drought management strategies for their effects on beef cowcalf enterprise profitability based on early detection of drought. A bioeconomic model was parameterized to represent a range-based cow-calf production system in the Northern Great Plains...
Keeping livestock supplied with ample, clean wateris essential for their survival during droughts like the one we’ve been going through. It’s also apowerful tool for pasture management year-round. Studies have shown thatas long as cattle are within 800 feet of water, they graze more efficien...
Climate changes leading to increasingly longer seasonal drought periods in large parts of the world increase the necessity for breeding drought-tolerant crops. Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum), the third most important vegetable crop worldwide, is regarded as drought-sensitive due to its shallow r...
Breaking the Hydro-Illogical Cycle: Progress or Status Quo for Drought Management in the United States This paper reviews recent progress in the United States toward a more risk-based approach to drought management and the formulation of a national drought policy.

This study measured the impacts of drought tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) on productivity, welfare, and risk exposure using household and plot-level data from rural Nigeria. The study employed an endogenous switching regression approach to control for both observed and unobserved sources of heterogen...
