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 research analyses the determinants of the adoption of SAP and their individual and combined effects on household food security.
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.
Volume 21
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).
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.
In this paper, we establish a link between crop productivity, crop market participation and agricultural technology use among smallholder farmers.
This study examines determinants of food loss and waste behaviour among farming households in western Nigeria
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of cluster farming on the wheat output and input commercialisation level.
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.
Volume 20
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.
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.
Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of the present time, with far-reaching implications for global economies and human socioeconomic well-being.
This study examines the impact of remoteness on productivity growth among Malawian smallholder farmers.
Bien que l’économie africaine en général et celle de l’Afrique de l’ouest en particulier demeure fortement dépendante du secteur agricole, ce dernier s’avère être le moins productif parmi les trois grands secteurs considérés de l’économie, notamment le secteur agricole, industriel et des services.
Rural areas across the developing countries in every region of the world lag behind their urban counterparts in many important sectors and, most importantly, in improved water supply services.

This study employs a binary probit model on a sample of 319 smallholder farmers in Thulamela and Collins Chabane municipalities to examine their willingness to pay for agricultural extension services.
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 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.
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.
This study examined the effect of collective marketing on mango income for 226 smallholder farmers in Mwala sub-county. The study employed an endogenous switching regression model to account for selection bias from observed and unobserved farmer attributes.
Willingness-to-pay (WTP) studies for traditional food products are plausibly affected by unobserved decisions and strategic collusion between the experimenter and respondents. Similarly, WTP estimates in developing countries using a one-time survey might be inconsistent, as the acceptance of new products likely varies with exposure to product attributes.
