Identifying crop research priorities based on potential economic and poverty reduction impacts: the case of cassava in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
This paper evaluates the impact of a cassava research-for-development program on farm level outcomes.The program was implemented in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2001 to 2009. We apply pro-pensity score matching, Rosenbaum bounds on treatment effects, Altonji et al. method of selection on...

Micro-dosing as a pathway to Africa’s Green Revolution: Evidence from broad-scale on-farm trials
Crop management research is increasingly involving farmers in evaluating new technologies, identifying adoption constraints and opportunities for improving farm performance to produce more sustainable impact. ICRISAT and its partners worked with farmers in Malawi and Zimbabwe during the 1999/2000...

Estimating impact of cassava research for development approach on productivity, uptake and food security in Malawi
Next to drought, poor soil fertility is the single biggest cause of hunger in Africa. ICRISAT-Zimbabwe has been working for the past 10 years to encourage small-scale farmers to increase inorganic fertiliser use as the first step towards Africa’s own Green Revolution. The program of work is found...
