Climate-Induced Agricultural Productivity Shocks Undermine Child Nutritional Outcomes
Climatic change threatens agricultural productivity and food security of smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa, yet evidence on how climate-induced declines in agricultural productivity affect child nutrition remains limited. By merging nationally representative household-level panel data with long-term changes in temperate and precipitation, and using two-stage fixed effects econometric models, we examined the effect of climate-induced agricultural…
Climate change, income sources, crop mix, and input use decisions
Demand and supply constraints of credit in smallholder farming
Credit constraint is often considered as one of the key barriers to the adoption of modern agricultural technologies and low agricultural productivity in low- and middle-income countries. Past research and much of the policy discourse associate agricultural credit constraints with supply-side factors, such as limited access to credit sources or high costs of borrowing. However, demand-side factors, such as risk-aversion and financial illiteracy a…
Land tenure security and preferences to dispute resolution pathways among landholders in Nigeria
Treatment of organic resources before soil incorporation in semi-arid regions improves resilience to El Niño, and increases crop production and economic returns
The use of limited organic resources to build resilience to drought in semi-arid regions was investigated using systems modelling. The study focused on Halaba in Ethiopia, drawing on biophysical and socio-economic data obtained from a survey of farms before, during and after the 2015/16 El Niño event. Using a simplified weather dataset to remove noise from weather fluctuations, a ten yearly El Niño was demonstrated to cause significant long-term …
Modeling Smallholder Farmers' Preferences for Soil Management Measures
Trees, soils, and warthogs – Distribution of services and disservices from reforestation areas in southern Ethiopia
Conservation projects have often been criticised for creating global benefits while causing negative impacts on local livelihoods. Ecosystem services approaches have been seen as one way to change this by focussing explicitly on maintaining ecosystems for human well-being of stakeholders at various scales. However, ecosystem services approaches have often ignored trade-offs between groups of people and issues of power and do not automatically lea…
