From yield impacts to just transformation of food systems
The case for history in planning future food systems transformations
Diversification Under Climate Variability as Part of a CSA Strategy in Rural Zambia
Climate change is posing an increasingly severe challenge to agricultural livelihoods due to increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Livelihood diversification can play an important role in decreasing food insecurity and vulnerability under these challenges. This paper contributes to the literature on livelihood diversification and vulnerability under climate change to assess the role of diversification as part of a Climate-S…
Smallholder productivity and weather shocks
Adoption and intensity of adoption of conservation farming practices in Zambia
Sustainable intensification
The ‘sustainable intensification’ (SI) approach and ‘climate-smart agriculture’ (CSA) are highly complementary. SI is an essential means of adapting to climate change, also resulting in lower emissions per unit of output. With its emphasis on improving risk management, information flows and local institutions to support adaptive capacity, CSA provides the foundations for incentivizing and enabling intensification. But adaptation requires going be…
Transaction costs of carbon offset projects
Capturing synergies between rural development and agricultural mitigation in Brazil
Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption
This article evaluates the impact of adoption of improved pigeonpea technologies on consumption expenditure and poverty status using cross-sectional data of 613 households from rural Tanzania. Using multiple econometric techniques, we found that adopting improved pigeonpea significantly increases consumption expenditure and reduces poverty. This confirms the potential role of technology adoption in improving household welfare as higher incomes tr…
Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare
Reconciling biodiversity conservation and food security
Biodiversity and agricultural sustainagility
Payments for ecosystem services and poverty reduction
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…
