Agricultural stakeholder panels and lead farmer visits: Evidence from Malawi
Pathways linking Wash access and women's empowerment: Evidence from Zambia and Honduras
Bottom-Up Approaches and Decentralized Extension Structures for Improving Access to and Quality of Extension Services and Technology Adoption: Multi-level Analysis from Malawi
Information interventions and willingness to pay for Pics bags: Evidence from Sierra Leone
This study investigates the different impact of informational interventions on smallholder farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bags in Sierra Leone. Despite the proven efficacy of PICS bags in reducing post-harvest losses and maintaining crop quality, their adoption rates remain extremely low in Sierra Leone. Through a field experiment with random assignment involving 436 households, this research investigate…
Assessing gendered impacts of post-harvest technologies in Northern Ghana: Gender equity and food security
Post-harvest loss of grains contributes to food insecurity, high food prices, and climate change.Several post-harvest technologies are used in Northern Ghana to reduce post-harvest loss, yet research on the subject rarely considers the gendered impacts of the introduction of technologies.The social and cultural context must be considered when introducing agricultural technologies into a community to avoid exacerbating inequality.The authors used …
Agroforestry as a pathway to agricultural yield impacts in climate-smart agriculture investments: Evidence from southern Malawi
Yield effects of climate-smart agriculture aid investment in southern Malawi
Understanding the adoption of climate-smart agriculture: A farm-level typology with empirical evidence from southern Malawi
Demands, responsibility, and influence in Malawi's participatory agricultural extension services
Participatory governance offers the potential to deliver responsive and accountable services. This article tests this expectation by looking at how members of participatory extension platforms in Malawi understand the meaning of “demand-driven” services, and allocate responsibility and influence in service provision. Results show that most respondents agree on bottom-up extension services that respond to expressed farmers’ needs (86% of responden…
Poverty indicators and mental health functioning among adults living with HIV in Delhi, India
Poor mental health functioning among persons living with HIV (PLHIV) has gained considerable attention particularly in low-income countries that disproportionately carry the global HIV/AIDS burden. Fewer studies, however, have examined the relationship between poverty indicators and mental health among PHLIV in India. Based on this cross-sectional study of 196 HIV-seropositive adults who received medical services at Shalom AIDS Project in Delhi, …
The impact of food assistance on weight gain and disease progression among HIV-infected individuals accessing Aids care and treatment services in Uganda
Given the widespread overlap of HIV and malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa, FA programs have the potential to improve weight and delay disease progression, especially among HIV-infected individuals not yet on ART. Additional well designed prospective studies evaluating the impact of FA are urgently needed

The gap between food intakes and the Pyramid recommendations: Measurement and food system ramifications
This paper measures the current gap in food consumption between dietary guidelines and estimated food intakes. Information on the adherence of the US diet to the guidelines comes from two sources: the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) and the USDA's annual Food Supply Data (FSD) Series. We review previous studies and supplement these with our own analysis of the 1994 CSFII and Food Supply data with Food Guide Pyramid servin…
