ABSTRACT
Improvements of rain-fed agriculture are required to ensure global food security. Improved rain-fed agriculture also contributes to the global poverty reduction as the majority of the world’s rural poor depend on rain-fed agriculture for livelihoods. It is also beneficial for environment, e.g., to reduce soil erosion. Yet, a proper understanding of trade-offs resulting from such interventions is essential too (e.g., CAWMA 2007; Rockström et al. 2010).
