Cette étude analyse les effets de la politique de réglementation de la vente du soja sur les performances des producteurs au Bénin de 1990 à 2023, en se concentrant sur l'offre de production et le revenu net agricole.
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of cluster farming on the wheat output and input commercialisation level.
This study investigates the impacts of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) services on farmers’ resilience in the Gubalafto district of Ethiopia.
Determinants of food loss and waste behaviour among farming households in southwestern Nigeria
This study examines determinants of food loss and waste behaviour among farming households in western Nigeria
Linking crop productivity, market participation and technology use among smallholder farmers: Evidence from Uganda
In this paper, we establish a link between crop productivity, crop market participation and agricultural technology use among smallholder farmers.
Economic effects of digestate and compost soil amendments on farmers’ income in Burkina Faso: A mathematical programming approach
This study compares the benefits of using digestate and compost in Burkina Faso. A mathematical programming model was used to simulate the advantages under three scenarios.

Cet article analyse les effets des produits forestiers non ligneux (PFNL) sur la pauvreté multidimensionnelle au Burkina Faso. Il s'appuie sur des données primaires collectées auprès de 384 ménages sélectionnés aléatoirement.
Agricultural digitisation is one of the key drivers of agricultural development, as well as of rapid economic growth, in many countries. This study aims to investigate the causal links between agricultural digitisation and high-quality agricultural development in the context of developed and developing countries.
This study examines the extent to which, in the Sahelian environment – where the scarcity of forage is intensifying – climate change perceptions influence the adoption of cottonseed cake among livestock producers in the Hauts-Bassins region of Burkina Faso.
This study examines the impact of remoteness on productivity growth among Malawian smallholder farmers.

Index-based insurance has emerged as a compelling strategy for agricultural risk management in Africa, particularly in contexts where smallholder farmers are disproportionately exposed to climate-related hazards.
The burden of low-quality diets and childhood undernutrition is widespread in rural areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, where households rely mostly on agriculture. Various empirical studies have shown the relative importance of the market, and hence food purchases, compared with farm diversification in raising dietary diversity.
This study examines the impact of privatisation on the productivity of smallholder sugarcane out-growers in Malawi using a case study of Dwangwa Cane Growers Limited (DCGL).
Using the potential outcomes framework, we estimate the influence of the adoption gap, adoption drivers and impact of adopting improved groundnut varieties (IGVs) on groundnut yield among smallholder farmers in Nigeria.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is viewed as a potentially effective intervention to address low agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), while strengthening farmers’ capacity to adapt to the effects of climate change.
This paper investigates the interdependence of decisions on the adoption of agricultural technology and the simultaneous interaction between adoption and food security situations of smallholders, using a sample of 260 households from rural Ethiopia.
Sustainable food systems are necessary not only as a channel for addressing the food security needs of the world’s growing population, but are also crucial in ensuring that the needs of future generations are not compromised.
The special issue focused on topics in environmental and resource economics that originated from the inaugural conference of the African Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AFAERE), held on 2-4 August 2021.
