Consumer acceptance of second generation GM goods: the case of biofortified cassava in the Northeast of Brazil

Autor: González, C. Johnson, Nancy L. Qaim, M.

Biofortified staple foods are currently being developed to reduce problems of micronutrient malnutrition among the poor. This partly involves use of genetic modification. Yet, relatively little is known about consumer acceptance of such second-generation genetically modified (GM) foods in develop...

Tissue culture banana (Musa spp.) for smallholder farmers: lessons learnt from East Africa

Autor: Dubois, T. Dusabe, Y. Lule, M. Asten, Piet J.A. van Coyne, D.L. Hobayo, J.C. Nkurunziza, S. Ouma, Emily A. Kabunga, N. Qaim, M. Kahangi, E. Mwirigi, P. Mwaura, P. Kisii, D. Kizito, H. Mugisha, J.

The use of tissue culture (TC) banana (Musa spp.) planting material is an effective method of providing pest and disease-free plants. Although there are many added benefits to using TC plants, the adoption of TC technology remains relatively low in East Africa. Currently, adoption is increasing u...

Supermarkets and agricultural labor demand in Kenya: A gendered perspective

Autor: Rao, E.J.O. Qaim, M.

Many developing countries are experiencing a rapid expansion of supermarkets. New supermarket procurement systems could affect farming patterns and wider rural development. While previous studies have analyzed farm productivity and income effects, possible employment effects have received much le...

Farmer participation in supermarket channels, production technology, and efficiency: The case of vegetables in Kenya

Autor: Rao, E.J.O. Brummer, B. Qaim, M.

Supermarkets are gaining ground in agrifood systems of many developing countries. While recent research has analyzed income effects in the small farm sector, impacts on productivity and efficiency have hardly been studied. We use a meta-frontier approach and combine this with propensity score mat...

Bt cotton and employment effects for female agricultural laborers in Pakistan

Autor: Kouser, Shahzad Abedullah, A. Qaim, M.

The literature about economic and social impacts of Bt cotton adoption on farm households in developing countries is growing. Yet, there is still uncertainty about wider implications of this technology for rural development, including effects for landless rural laborers. Bt-related yield advantag...

Yield effects of tissue culture bananas in Kenya: accounting for selection bias and the role of complementary inputs

Autor: Kabunga, N. Dubois, T. Qaim, M.

We analyse yield effects of tissue culture (TC) banana technology in the Kenyan small farm sector, using recent survey data and an endogenous switching regression approach. TC banana plantlets, which are free from pests and diseases, have been introduced in East Africa since the late 1990s. Altho...

Various forms of double burden of malnutrition problems exist in rural Kenya

Autor: Fongar, A. Gödecke, T. Qaim, M.

Background: The coexistence of overweight/obesity and undernutrition is often referred to as the double burden of malnutrition (DB). DB was shown to exist in many developing countries, especially in urban areas. Much less is known about DB in rural areas of developing countries. Also, the exact d...

Heterogeneous information exposure and technology adoption: the case of tissue culture bananas in Kenya

Autor: Kabunga, N. Dubois, T. Qaim, M.

Classical innovation adoption models implicitly assume homogenous information flow across farmers, which is often not realistic. As a result, selection bias in adoption parameters may occur. We focus on tissue culture (TC) banana technology that was introduced in Kenya more than 10 years ago. Up ...
