Inadequate feed and nutrition are major constraints to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. National and international research agencies, including the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), have developed several feed production and utilisation technologies. However, adoption ...

Ramírez Villegas, JuliánJiménez, DanielLougee, Robin[Data-driven farming proves fertile ground for O.R.: How CGIAR and CIAT are helping to bridge the human capital divide and grow the digital revolution in the developing world’s agriculture industry.]Data-driven farming proves fertile ground for O.R.: How CGIAR and CIAT are helping to bridge the human capital divide and grow the digital revolution in the developing world’s agriculture industry.

The paper analyses innovation histories of two agro-mechanical and two seed-based technologies with high and low technological complexity, introduced into simple and complex farming systems in Asia. The main conclusion, which may be seen as a hypothesis for further testing, is that, as technology...


Douthwaite, BoruKeatinge, J.D.H.Park, J.R.[Why promising technologies fail: the neglected role of user innovation during adoption]Why promising technologies fail: the neglected role of user innovation during adoption

The types of technology change catalyzed by research interventions in integrated natural resource management (INRM) are likely to require much more social negotiation and adaptation than are changes related to plant breeding, the dominant discipline within the system of the Consultative Group on ...

This paper applies econometric analyses to quantitatively determine the individual risk attitudes of sampled maize farmers in the dry savanna zone of Nigeria. The extent of the risk attitudes are then made the basis for categorizing the farmers into three groups of low, intermediate and high risk...

On-farm research is aimed at developing technologies well match the goals and environment of farmers. At its various stages of diagnosis, choice of techniques, testing and validating technologies, ones would always ask questions: what technologies are developed, for whom and how? In this paper me...
