• Gender, nutrition- and climate-smart food production: Opportunities and trade-offs (2013, background): “25), conservation agriculture (CA) interventions, “are not always genderneutral in terms of labor requirements, empowerment, or economic benefits and costs” (see also Baudron et al. 2009; Erenstein 2003; Nyanga et al. 2012).”
• Climate change adaptation, greenhouse gas mitigation and economic profitability of conservation agriculture: some examples from cereal systems of Indo-Gangetic Plains (2015, background): “Enhancing the adoption of CA among smallholders requires integrated approach that ensures farmer participation, practical orientation, community involvement, flexibility, local manufacturing and private sector involvement, and a long-term perspective (Erenstein 2003).”
• UNDERSTANDING SOIL CONSERVATION DECISION OF FARMERS IN THE GEDEB WATERSHED, ETHIOPIA (2014, background): “Some scholars (e.g. Erenstein, 2003; Bolliger et al., 2006; Giller et al., 2009) argue that low or no uptake of conservation agriculture in general and soil conservation in particular signify the incompatibility of these technologies for resource poor smallholder farmers in most sub-Saharan African…”
• Socioeconomic and institutional factors influencing adoption of conservation farming by vulnerable households in Zimbabwe (2009, background): “Crop residues can be considered to be exclusive or non-exclusive products based on how they are used for mulching (Erenstein and Cadena-Inguez, 1997; Erenstein, 2003).”
• Conservation agriculture in African mixed crop-livestock systems: Expanding the niche (2014, background): “Therefore, the target of 30% soil cover often used in CA (Erenstein, 2003) may not lead to the most profitable crop residue allocation.”
• Conservation Agriculture in Maize- and Wheat-Based Systems in the (Sub)tropics: Lessons from Adaptation Initiatives in South Asia, Mexico, and Southern Africa (2012, background): “Indeed, minimal soil disturbance alone is an insufficient condition for CA. Competing crop residue uses and residue management practices impose significant challenges for the retention of soil cover across the (sub)tropics (Erenstein 2002, 2003; Wall 2009).”
