  • Why we should rethink ‘adoption’ in agricultural innovation: Empirical insights from Malawi

    Open AccessThirze Hermans, Stephanie Whitfield et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    The challenges of land degradation, climate change and food insecurity have led to the introduction of conservation agriculture (CA) aimed at enhancing yield and soil quality.

  • Billy Graham, un pasteur américain en politique

    Stephen J Whitfield, Stephanie Whitfield et al.ARTICLEVingtième Siècle Revue d histoire2007References: 1

Graham lui-même a joui d'une relation personnelle avec d…
