Modeling Farmers' Response to Uncertain Rainfall in Burkina Faso: A Stochastic Programming Approach
Farmers on the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso in West Africa cultivate under precarious conditions. Rainfall variability is extremely high in this area, and accounts for much of the uncertainty surrounding the farmers’ decision-making process. Strategies to cope with these risk are typically dynamic. Sequential decision making is one of the most important ways to cope with risk due to uncertai...
متن کاملLand Use/Cover Response to Rainfall Variability: A Comparing Analysis between NDVI and EVI in the Southwest of Burkina Faso
A comparative analysis of the sensitivity of NDVI and EVI to rainfall indicators has been carried out for different land use/covers in the Southwest of Burkina Faso. Three classified land use/covers maps for 1999, 2006 and 2011 were produced and change detection was applied to locate persistent areas. Thereafter monthly vegetation indices of plots of 750 × 750 m2 were extracted from 2001 to 201...
متن کاملVariability of Rainfall in a Semi-Arid Catchment in Burkina Faso
s The climate in the Sahel is marked by the spatial and temporal variability of rainfall. As the agriculture is mainly rainfed in Burkina Faso, the information about rainfall is crucial to help the farmers in their decisions. A network of wireless sensorscope stations is installed in the catchment of the Singou River (in the Gourma region of Burkina Faso) and monitor at a time step of 5 minutes...
متن کاملTechnical and Economic Efficiency of Rice Production in the Kou Valley (burkina Faso): Stochastic Frontier Approach
The present paper seeks to deal with the issue of technical and economic efficiency of rice producers in the Kou valley, located in the region of the high basins in the western part of Burkina Faso. The stochastic frontier approach was used to estimate the production function, from a CobbDouglas stochastic frontier function and its dual which allow the estimation of the technical, allocative an...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso is one of the Subsaharan African nations. No national services for monitoring of antibiotic resistance are available, so the number of reports of resistance patterns among hospital pathogens are inconsistent. In order to evaluate antibiotic resistance, a total of 1998 valuable microrganisms were analysed during 2000 at the Medical Centre St. Camille of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso's c...
