Assessing Drivers of Storage Decision-Making to Prevent Postharvest Loss Among Smallholder Ginger Farmers in Palpa District, Nepal
Postharvest losses erode Nepal’s ginger value chain and farm incomes, affecting food and income security; yet the behavioral drivers of loss-reducing practices remain poorly understood. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 256 ginger-growing farmers randomly selected from Bagnaskali, Ribdikot, and Tansen municipalities in the Palpa district, using a structured questionnaire. A semi-log OLS model of the percentage of crop loss was evaluate…
Impacts of Age, Gender, and Education on Reported Adoption of Jerrycan Post-Harvest Prevention Technique After Mass-Scaling of Educational Animations in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria
Research increasingly demonstrates that animated e-extension videos can enhance smallholder farmers’ knowledge and practices, but little is understood about their effects when such videos are mass-scaled across diverse populations. Building on a prior randomized controlled trial (RCT) that showed a post-harvest loss prevention animation improved learning and adoption regardless of age, gender, or education, this study investigates whether scaling…
