RUSEP: marketled agricultural technology transfer and commercialization in Abia State, Nigeria
GIS-derived measures of location and space have increasingly been used in models of land use and ecology. However, they have made few inroads into the literature on technology adoption in developing countries, which continues to rely mainly on survey-derived information. Location, with all its di...

Location and uptake: integrated household and GIS analysis of technology adoption and land use, with application to smallholder dairy farms in Kenya
Demonstrates how the various economic, social, and physical variables and degree of risk aversion affect the adoption of three selected technologies, viz, single-ox, fertilizer, and pesticide, in Ethiopian agriculture. Discusses characteristics of these technologies and factors that motivated far...

We present results of a randomized evaluation that assesses the effects of different incentives for diffusion of agricultural knowledge by smallholders in northern Uganda. Randomly-selected disseminating farmers (DFs) from a large sample of villages are assigned to one of three experimental arms:...

The aim of this consultation is to explore the practicality of extending technologies that enable the use of dairy cows for multiple purposes, to help develop a regional project to transfer these technologies to relevant countries in east and Central Africa. The focus of the consultation is on ne...
