Addressing conflict and weather shocks in agrifood value chains
Does small-scale irrigation affect women’s time allocation? Insights from Ethiopia
Farmer personality and community-based extension effectiveness in Tanzania
Do changes in maize prices and input prices affect smallholder farmers’ soil fertility management decisions? panel survey evidence from Kenya
Soil fertility management (SFM) practices such as maize-legume intercropping and organic fertiliser, particularly when used jointly with inorganic fertiliser, have the potential to increase yields and yield response to inorganic fertiliser, improve soil health, and contribute to sustainable intensification (SI). However, relatively little is known about the drivers of adoption of these practices, especially for joint use. Moreover, it has been su…
Do government zoning policies improve buyer-farmer relationships? Evidence from Rwanda’s coffee sector
Does smallholder maize intensification reduce deforestation? Evidence from Zambia
Lead-farmer extension and smallholder valuation of new agricultural technologies in Tanzania
Dis-incentivizing sustainable intensification? The case of Zambia’s maize-fertilizer subsidy program
The effects of voice with(out) punishment
We investigate the effect of comment-based participation on public goods provision. • Comments are tested with and without exogenous sanctioning. • Comments increase public goods provision in the short-run but not in the longer-run. • Comments with sanctioning generate the highest contributions to the public good. • Rule-makers who receive comments choose significantly higher contribution rules. We investigate the effect of voice exercised throug…
Hybrid Seed and the Economic Well-Being of Smallholder Maize Farmers in Zambia
The development and diffusion of hybrid maize in Zambia since the 1970s is a major achievement in African agriculture, but other than profitability studies, analyses of how this process has affected the economic well-being of smallholder farmers have been few. We test the relationship of hybrid seed use with six indicators of economic well-being. After using the control function/instrumental variables approach to test for the endogeneity of hybri…
Disrupting Demand for Commercial Seed
Putting the 2007/2008 global food crisis in longer-term perspective
Widows' Land Security in the Era of HIV/Aids
In areas of Africa hard hit by HIV/AIDS, there are growing concerns that many women lose access to land after the death of their husbands. However, there remains a dearth of quantitative evidence on the proportion of widows who lose access to their deceased husband's land, whether they lose all or part of that land, and whether there are factors specific to the widow, her family, or the broader community that influence her ability to maintain rig…
