Beyond the plot: technology extrapolation domains for scaling out agronomic science
There is considerable literature available on assessing the impact of rural innovations from
the perspective of a particular discipline, e.g., economics or sociology, and from the farmers’
own perspective, e.g., participatory monitoring and evaluation. But little has been written
about collaborat...

Animal disease outbreaks generate a range of economic and non-economic impacts.
While a significant number of research studies have estimated the effects of various
diseases in a variety of contexts, examining the differential impacts and implications
associated with the introduction of a novel d...
