Sudan's vulnerable to climate change;
Food security is dependent on rainfall, particularly in rural areas where >70% of population lives.
Majority of land is vulnerable to changes in temperature and precipitation.
Rainfall erratic and high variability
Problems facing: – Inappropriate faming practices,
– inadequate skills and knowledge on agricultural water and nutrient management (irrigation and fertilizer).
Introduction

Optimizing Coping Strategies Using
Nuclear Techniques
• Irrigation water management
(Using Soil Moisture Neutron Probe)
• Fertilizer management
(Using Nitrogen Labeled Fertilizer-N15)
