We use panel data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) administered among 1200 smallholders in Uganda to evaluate input use and food security impacts of an improved maize storage technology. After two seasons, households who received the technology were 10 percentage points more likely to pla...

Evidence from a randomized trial in Uganda]Does improved storage technology promote modern input use and food security? Evidence from a randomized trial in Uganda

This article investigates the relationship between adoption of and experience with agriculturaltechnologies. We use both non-parametric and parametric estimations on data from rural farmers in Uganda.We find an inverted-U relationship between adoption of and experience with agricultural technolog...

Previous research suggests that forest-dependent households tend to be poorer than other groups, and that extreme reliance on forest resources might constitute a poverty trap. We provide an example in which a non-timber forest product – charcoal – appears to be providing a pathway out of poverty ...

The article examines the effect of membership in farmer groups (MFG) on adoption lag of agricultural technologies and farm performance in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. We use duration and stochastic production frontier models on farm household data. We find that the longer...

It remains a challenge for agricultural research-for-development (AR4D) institutions to demonstrate to donors which technologies contribute significantly to poverty reduction due to a multitude of impact pathways. We attempt to overcome this challenge by utilizing the potential outcomes framework...

Evidence from farm household poverty analysis in Central Africa]Who benefits from which agricultural research-for-development technologies? Evidence from farm household poverty analysis in Central Africa

Within the framework of the IITA-led project “Improvement of banana for smallholder farmers in the Great Lakes region of Africa” (also known as the “Breeding Better Bananas” project, http://breedingbetterbananas.org), Bioversity International and partners conducted baseline research in the target...

Developing countries participating in the mitigation mechanism of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+), need to determine a national forest reference emission le...

This paper investigates if and howthe establishment of private commercial forest plantations in degraded forestreserves can conserve natural forests in Uganda. It uses difference-in-difference and decomposition analyses onhousehold data collected from intervention and control villages in the neig...

Like all public organizations concerned with research for development, IITA aims to contribute to poverty reduction goals in the developing world through improved agricultural technologies. IITA’s refreshed strategy articulates a major target of lifting 11 million people out of poverty by 2020. T...
