• The politics of seed in Africa's green revolution: Alternative narratives and competing pathways (2011, background): “But informal systems have been shown to be remarkably resilient (Almekinders and Louwaars 2002, 1999), offering high levels of genetic diversity and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances through local innovation systems (Richards et al. 2009; Richards 1989, 1986).”
• Can cultivars from participatory plant breeding improve seed provision to small-scale farmers? (2007, unknown): “These data are in line with those from other parts of the world (Tripp 2001; Almekinders and Louwaars 2002).”
