Is newer better? The effect of varietal age on real-world maize yield in Kenya
Maize varietal turnover is widely promoted across Sub-Saharan Africa to improve crop productivity and increase food security, yet its impact on yields remains poorly understood amid heterogeneous agroecological and socioeconomic conditions. This study quantifies the yield effects of varietal age in Kenya using a three-wave panel survey (2023-2024) of 4,160 smallholder households across Kenya. Using entropy balancing and weighted regression models…
Climate risk management and rural poverty reduction
Climate variability is a major source of risk to smallholder farmers and pastoralists, particularly in dryland regions. A growing body of evidence links climate-related risk to the extent and the persistence of rural poverty in these environments. Stochastic shocks erode smallholder farmers' long-term livelihood potential through loss of productive assets. The resulting uncertainty impedes progress out of poverty by acting as a disincentive to in…
