This study employed a multinomial probit model to examine the effects of involving women in household farming decisions on the adoption of maize-legume intercropping (MLI) by using 5,689 farming households from the Tanzania National Panel Surveys.
This study examines the adoption of a bundle comprising crop rotation, minimum/zero tillage and residue retention among 582 maize-producing households in Mungwi and Senanga, Zambia.
This study uses the censored quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) to estimate Marshallian own- and cross-price elasticities for six food groups.
This research analyses the determinants of the adoption of SAP and their individual and combined effects on household food security.
COVID-19 shock, social protection and food insecurity in Nigeria:A difference-in-difference approach
This paper assesses the effects of social protection interventions in mitigating the COVID-19 shocks on household food insecurity in Nigeria.
This paper analyses the effects of access to arable land on women’s empowerment in Burkina Faso.

This paper analyses the effects of agricultural modernisation on the food security of rural households in Burkina Faso. It uses data from the Permanent Agricultural Survey (EPA 2021).
This study examined the association between CSA adoption intensity and multidimensional poverty among smallholder maize-farming households in Kenya.
This study uses the censored quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) to estimate Marshallian own- and cross-price elasticities for six food groups.
This study analyses the impacts of water reservoir valorisation on the drought response capacity of agro-pastoralists in northern and central Benin, based on a survey of 428 respondents.
COVID-19 shock, social protection and food insecurity in Nigeria:A difference-in-difference approach
This paper assesses the effects of social protection interventions in mitigating the COVID-19 shocks on household food insecurity in Nigeria.
This paper analyses the effects of access to arable land on women’s empowerment in Burkina Faso.

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.
The hazards and impacts of climate change are exacerbating. They threaten crop productivity, farmers’ resilience and the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Understanding climate-smart agriculture (CSA) and applying it is crucial.
While irrigation is key to boosting agricultural productivity in Burkina Faso, it may come with hidden health costs. Drawing on data from over 1 000 households in the Sourou Valley and using propensity score matching, this study uncovers the unintended consequences of irrigation for public health.
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.
This study attempted to identify determinants of farmers’ maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for improved use of irrigation water.
The underutilisation of coconut and its by-products imply poor livelihoods and, ultimately food insecurity for farmers growing coconut. Sustainable practices like a circular economy (CE) need to be promoted for uptake by the farmers to achieve sustainable development through better utilisation of coconuts and their by-products.

This study investigates risk perceptions and management strategies among maize growers in the equatorial region of South Sudan. A cross-sectional study design included a survey questionnaire that was used to analyse data from 510 respondents.
Zimbabwe has set poverty reduction targets in a changing climate, yet the implications of climate variability for poverty remain under-explored.
This study was carried out to evaluate different spraying regimes for the production of two cowpea varieties (Ife Brown and IT2246) in the humid southwest agro-ecologies of Nigeria in order to recommend optimum spraying regimes for cowpea production in the zone.
This study investigated the food security effect of the adoption of improved maize varieties among farming households in Uganda using four waves of the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) spanning the period 2013 to 2020.
The literature on what drives crop failure and crop abandonment is scant. This paper explores the interplay between risk factors and crop abandonment. We examine the role of risk sources and risk management strategies in crop abandonment by smallholder maize farmers in Zambia.
Cet article analyse l’impact des chocs agro-climatiques sur la sécurité alimentaire des ménages ruraux sénégalais à l'aide d'un modèle probit ordonné. La méthode du score de consommation alimentaire est utilisée pour appréhender l'état de la sécurité alimentaire des ménages. L’étude montre que 14% des ménages vivant en milieu rural sont à consommation alimentaire faible, 17% à consommation alimentaire limite, et 69% à consommation alimentaire acceptable.
