The role of climate and loan financing information on solar irrigation adoption among cocoa farmers in Ghana
While climate change poses increasing risks to cocoa production, the adoption of irrigation in Ghana's cocoa sector remains low. In this context, this study examined farmers' preferences for climate and loan financing information for solar irrigation adoption. A discrete choice experiment was conducted with cocoa farmers across seven regions of Ghana. In treatment groups, we varied the availability of major season consecutive dry days information…
Socio-economic valuation of water reallocation
This paper introduces a socio-economic valuation framework for water reallocation that integrates considerations of equity, efficiency, and sustainability into decision-making. Designed to inform the development and implementation of policy in contexts of water scarcity and historical inequality, the framework systematically incorporates both direct economic benefits and externalities, such as poverty alleviation, food security, and inequality re…
Making ends meet in refugee camps
Using primary data collected among protracted refugees in camps and an exogenous variation in the time lapse between the food transfer and the interview date, we investigate whether refugee’s food consumption responds to the timing of the distribution of food aid. • Refugee households experience an average decline of 1.1 to 1.5 percent per day in their daily caloric intake between distributions of food aid. • Short-term nutritional status of chil…
Unleashing the potential of solar irrigation in Bangladesh
The transition to solar-powered irrigation in South Asia offers an opportunity to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependency on expensive diesel. However, appropriate institutional and financial models are required to scale up this technology. Three different solar irrigation pump (SIP) implementation modalities coexist in Bangladesh, providing a good opportunity to evaluate and gain insightful knowledge on the solarization process. These…
Positive incentives for managing groundwater in the presence of informal water markets
Groundwater is rapidly declining in India. A history of subsidized well-drilling, pumps, and energy with minimal restrictions on well installation, in a landscape characterized by millions of smallholder farmers renders standard ‘market-based’ approaches such as water pricing and quotas on abstraction challenging to introduce from a cost, political and institutional perspective. Instead, federal and state governments are experimenting with positi…
Women's empowerment and the will to change
A static and apolitical framing of women's empowerment has dominated the development sector. In contrast, we assess the pertinence of considering a new variable, the will to change, to reintroduce dynamic and political processes into the way empowerment is framed and measured. This article uses a household survey based on the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) and qualitative data collected in Nepal to analyze how critical consciousn…
Climate risk perceptions and perceived yield loss increases agricultural technology adoption in the polder areas of Bangladesh
The effects of climate change are likely to increase the frequency of flood, drought, and salinity events in the coastal areas of Bangladesh, posing many challenges for agrarian communities. Sustainable intensification in the form of improved agricultural management practices and new technologies may help farmers cope with stress and adapt to changing conditions. In this study, we explore how climate change perceptions of agricultural risk affect…
Price, credit or ambiguity? Increasing small-scale irrigation in Ethiopia
Governments in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are keen to expand irrigation to improve food security and are placing particular emphasis on adoption and use of smallholder private groundwater irrigation. Yet private irrigation is a multi-stage technology, the adoption of which is affected by fiscal support and extension services offered on different investment stages but also by uncertainties around actions that need to be undertaken in th…
Electric Pumps, Groundwater, Agriculture and Water Buyers
Irrigation with electric pumps is cheaper than with diesel pumps in West Bengal where electricity and diesel are unsubsidised, and where pump owners typically irrigate their winter rice crop and often sell water to farmers who do not own pumps. Using purposefully selected primary data, we examine whether electric-pump owners have greater water access and rice production during the monsoon and winter seasons compared to diesel-pump owners and wate…
The effect of irrigation service delivery and training in agronomy on crop choice in Tajikistan
The aim of this paper is to analyze the effect of irrigation delivery services and agricultural extension services on crop choice in southern Tajikistan. This analysis is motivated by the government’s recent efforts to address the country’s severe malnutrition problem by supporting changes in irrigation service delivery and agronomy to increase diversity in agricultural production and consumption, in an environment where the cultivation of cotton…
Enhancing coordination in water management through communication tools
Canal siltation is a pervasive problem in coastal Bangladesh causing water-logging and losses in crop yield. Although timely maintenance of canals through regular contributions from the community can solve this problem; it often breaks down because of the free riding issue, a common feature in the provision of public goods. Previous literature on experimental games has shown how different communication strategies can help to achieve coordination.…
