Enhancing Smallholder Access to Agricultural Machinery Services
Resource poor smallholders in developing countries often lack access to capital goods such as farm machinery.

Profiling the lead farmers can th…

A cross sectional data set of 325 cotton farmers was collected to estimate the impact of farmer field schools on the adoption of IPM practices as well as cotton yield an…
