Small-scale farmers face numerous challenges to invest in natural resource management practices. The problems are interlinked, with such perverse economic problems as high transaction costs and risk rooted in the lack of comprehensive institutional and organizational services to farmers for risk ...
Using household survey data from Ethiopia, this paper evaluatesthe impact of agricultural cooperatives on smallholders’ technical efficiency. We usedpropensity score matching to compare the average difference in technical efficiencybetween cooperative member farmers and similar independent farmer...

The technical, economic, and ecological aspects of rainwater management are interlinked and spatially bounded. Developing, scaling-out, and targeting rainwater management innovations as adaptive strategies to upgrade rainfed agriculture are therefore preferably best approached through integrated ...

Integrated innovations and recommendation domains: Paradigm for developing, scaling-out, and targeting rainwater management innovations
Irrigated fodder production can be vitalised as a useful strategy to sustainably intensify subsistence livestock production owned and managed by smallholders and to diversify farm income through linkages to commercial livestock systems. However, uncertainty about the production and market environ...

Integrated innovations and recommendation domains: Paradigm for developing, scaling-out, and targeting rainwater management innovations.
Assessing and empirically measuring the development impact of rainwater management innovations to inform related decisions remains conceptually and methodologically difficult. Whether it is empirically more appropriate to assess and measure the impact pathways than the impact per se remains an im...

At a farm level, economic returns are the single most important attributes that drive farmers to adopt agricultural technologies. This study was carried out at the Naphok and Veunkham villages, Lao PDR,to evaluate the yield response of a maize mono-cropping system to soil amendments and analyze t...
