Descriptive statistics show that women with land rights were more empowered, younger, more educated and owned more land than those without land rights.
Short-term impacts of Zambia’s electronic Farmer Input Support Programme (e-FISP) on maize yield
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.
This paper contributes to the expanding literature on multidimensional poverty and gender inequality in Tunisia by presenting an individual measure of multidimensional poverty.
Effects of climate change and agricultural productivity on poverty outcomes in Africa: A system GMM perspective
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.
Determinants of smallholder farmers’ willingness to pay for improved irrigation systems: Evidence from Northwest, Ethiopia
This study attempted to identify determinants of farmers’ maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for improved use of irrigation water.
Remoteness and its impact on productivity growth among Malawi’s smallholder household farmers: A Malmquist and tobit regression approach
This study examines the impact of remoteness on productivity growth among Malawian smallholder farmers.

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.
Using nationally representative cross-sectional data, the study investigated the impact of CA adoption through a multivalued treatment framework.
This study examines the impact of remoteness on productivity growth among Malawian smallholder farmers.
This study applied the zero-inefficiency stochastic frontier (ZISF) to analyse the technical efficiency of 333 improved rice-farming households for the 2012/2013 farming season in Ghana.

This paper examines the optimal land resource allocation for tree crop enterprises in the Eastern region of Ghana based on data collected from sampled cocoa, oil palm, and rubber farmers.
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.
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 current study investigated the impact of using information and communication technology-based weather information services on the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies.

Our understanding of climate-induced crop failure and crop abandonment is limited at present. This study surveyed theoretical and empirical literature on climate-induced crop failure and crop abandonment.
Goat keeping is a common practice among rural farmers due to the adaptability of goats to harsh environments, their efficient forage conversion and rapid growth, and their multiple benefits, including the production of manure and high-quality milk.
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.
Poultry waste management and the energy demand have generated environmental and climate change concerns. Experts have suggested converting poultry waste to biogas energy through recycling to reduce these concerns.
