This article analyses the effects of non-timber forest products (NTFP) on food security in Burkina Faso. For this purpose, a composite index (Composite Food Security Indicator Approach) was calculated using primary data collected from 384 randomly selected households.
The paper investigates how agricultural trade credit (ATC) extended to smallholder cereal farmers leads to an (in)efficient agricultural marketing systems for farm produce in Ghana.
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.

In this paper, we establish a link between crop productivity, crop market participation and agricultural technology use among smallholder farmers.
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.

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.

Zambia has been implementing agricultural input subsidy programmes to stimulate crop production and productivity among smallholder farmers with the goal of increasing national food security.
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 examined the effect of sustainable intensification (SI) technologies, specifically the use of improved maize seed varieties, of improved bean seed varieties (Nua45), crop rotation, maize-legume intercropping and doubled-up legume systems on farm income in Dedza district, Malawi.
Descriptive statistics show that women with land rights were more empowered, younger, more educated and owned more land than those without land rights.

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.
Understanding rice farmers’ responses to market prices is essential for policy makers to design effective policies to better manage input demand and rice supply. This paper applies duality theory to derive the elasticities of input demand and output supply for Vietnamese rice production using a translog profit function approach.
The current study investigated the impact of using information and communication technology-based weather information services on the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies.
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.
Soil acidity is a major constraint to crop production in tropical regions. Although agricultural lime is one option to remediate acid soils, there is limited information on the potential returns on investments to liming by smallholders.
Soybean is one of the key legume crops that provides several financial benefits for farming households in Malawi. However, Malawi's persisting efforts to improve smallholder productivity and diversification have only translated into moderate improvements in food security outcomes.
