• Risk Preferences and Environmental Uncertainty: Implications for Crop Diversification Decisions in Ethiopia (2012, background): “In a companion paper, Baumgärtner and Quaas (2010) explore the implications of investing in diversity when agro-biodiversity provides both private and social benefits.”
• Cropland Allocation Effects of Agricultural Input Subsidies in Malawi (2012, background): “Cultivating several crop species can help smallholders to manage price and production risk (Baumgärtner & Quaas, 2008; Di Falco & Chavas, 2009), and in moisture-stressed, ecologically-fragile agricultural systems, crop diversification also can be a viable strategy to increase farm-level…”
• Seeds for livelihood: Crop biodiversity and food production in Ethiopia (2010, background): “Multiple crop species can also reduce the implication of price and production risk (Baumgärtner and Quaas, 2008; Di Falco and Chavas, 2009) and allows farmers to market their produce several times throughout the year.”
• Agrobiodiversity for food security, health and income (2013, background): “An important dilemma that will need to be confronted is exemplified by the finding of Baumgärtner and Quaas (2010). They looked into the effects of agri-environmental policies and insurances in such situations where risk-averse farmers invest in on-farm biodiversity and found that insurances can be ”
• Crop diversification as a smallholder livelihood strategy within semi-arid agricultural systems near Mount Kenya (2015, background): “Crop diversification is one strategy households may employ to educe their vulnerability to external stressors, such as climate hange (Altieri, 2004; Baumgartner and Quaas, 2010; Lin, 2011).”
