In Africa, there have been successes in cassava research in terms of the development of production technologies, particularly
improved varieties with high yield potential. The study addresses the question of whether and to what extent adoption of
improved cassava varieties has led to rural povert...

The design and diffusion of context-specific technologies is centrally important in the multi-dimensional, complex farming systems in arid and semi-arid regions. This paper uses a mixed-method framework to characterize the complexity and heterogeneity of smallholder farming systems and identifies...

Farm typology analysis and technology assessment: an application in an arid region of South Asia
Background: Opportunities to use data and information to address challenges in international agricultural research and development are expanding rapidly. The use of agricultural trial and evaluation data has enormous potential to improve crops and management practices. However, for a number of re...
Rice (Oryza sativa) is an important food staple and a cash crop, which is cultivated in all the ten regions of Ghana under varying agro-ecological conditions. These conditions also reflect the production technologies used and the total farm output. In an attempt to determine the potential sources...

Evaluating the environmental-technology gaps of rice farms in distinct agro-ecological zones of Ghana
Rapid climatic and socio-economic changes challenge current agricultural R&D capacity. The necessary quantum leap in knowledge generation should build on the innovation capacity of farmers themselves. A novel citizen science methodology, triadic comparisons of technologies or tricot, was implemen...
