Evaluating the cost of malaria elimination by Anopheles gambiae precision guided SIT in the Upper River region, The Gambia
Mosquito control has successfully reduced the burden of malaria globally, but current vector control technologies cannot achieve malaria elimination. Precision guided sterile insect technique (pgSIT) is one of the most promising interventions being developed for malaria elimination. Mass release of genetically sterile males can act as a chemical-free species-specific insecticide. Before translating pgSIT from the bench to the field, however, it i…
Emerging outsource agricultural services enable farmer adaptation in agrifood value chains: A product cycle perspective
Outsource agricultural service enterprises emerged a century ago in high-income countries and in the past several decades in developing regions. • These services help farmers adapt to international and domestic agrifood value chains in the commoditization and product differentiation phases of the Product Cycle. • We provide grain and horticulture cases in Africa, Asia, Europe. Latin America, and the US. • These services addressed farmers’ shortfa…
Algae-Based Two-Stage Supply Chain with Co-Products
Agri-food Value Chain Revolutions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Agri-food value chains (AVCs) intermediate the flow of products between largely rural farmers, fisherfolk, or herders and increasingly urban consumers. The theoretical models that historically structured research on the economic development process assumed away AVC functions, however, and AVC firms and workers were necessarily omitted from the household data that generated most empirical findings in the agricultural and development economics lite…

Agricultural Biotechnology: The Promise and Prospects of Genetically Modified Crops
For millennia, humans have modified plant genes in order to develop crops best suited for food, fiber, feed, and energy production. Conventional plant breeding remains inherently random and slow, constrained by the availability of desirable traits in closely related plant species. In contrast, agricultural biotechnology employs the modern tools of genetic engineering to reduce uncertainty and breeding time and to transfer traits from more distant…
On market-mediated emissions and regulations on life cycle emissions
Economic Factors Affecting Diversified Farming Systems
In response to a shift toward specialization and mechanization during the 20th century, there has been momentum on the part of a vocal contingent of consumers, producers, researchers, and policy makers who call for a transition toward a new model of agriculture. This model employs fewer synthetic inputs, incorporates practices which enhance biodiversity and environmental services at local, regional, and global scales, and takes into account the s…

Payments for ecosystem services and poverty reduction: Concepts, issues, and empirical perspectives
Paying for the provision of environmental services is a recent policy innovation attracting much attention in both developed and developing countries. This innovation, referred to as ‘payments for ecosystem services’ (when the emphasis is on enhancing ‘nature’ services) or ‘payments for environmental services’ (when amenities provided by the built environment are also included) is referred to here as PES. PES programs aim to harness market forces…
The impact of agricultural biotechnology on yields, risks, and biodiversity in low-income countries
This paper shows that the current generation of transgenic crop varieties has significant potential to improve economic welfare in low-income countries. These varieties might increase crop yields in low-income countries in cases when pesticides have not been used. They will reduce negative health effects of chemicals when they replace them. With low transaction costs, appropriate infrastructure, and access to intellectual property, multiple varie…
Challenge of biofuel: Filling the tank without emptying the stomach
Biofuels have become a leading alternative to fossil fuel because they can be produced domestically by many countries, require only minimal changes to retail distribution and end-use technologies, are a partial response to global climate change, and because they have the potential to spur rural development. Production of biofuel has increased most rapidly for corn ethanol, in part because of government subsidies; yet, corn ethanol offers at most …
