Adoption of agroforestry and the impact on household food security among farmers in Malawi (2016, background): “…both observable and unobservable characteristics, of improved technologies such as improved varieties of wheat (Shiferaw et al. 2014); pigeon pea (Asfaw et al, 2012); pineapple (Kleeman and Abdulai, 2013); tissue culture banana (Kabunga et al. 2014) and improved fallows (Kantashula and…”
The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, methodology): “…poor depend largely on agriculture for their livelihoods (IFAD 2011), improving the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of the agricultural sector is argued to be the main pathway out of poverty in the continent (Christiaensen et al. 2011; Asfaw et al. 2012; Dawson et al. 2016).”
Analysis of Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Varieties in Eastern Zambia (2015, neutral): “Many of these studies have looked at crops such as maize, groundnuts, and pigeon peas (Asfaw, Shiferaw, Simtowe, & Lipper, 2012; Crost et al ., 2007; Kassie et al ., 2011).”
Impact of metal silos on households’ maize storage, storage losses and food security: An application of a propensity score matching (2013, methodology): “The method was also used to evaluate the welfare impact of pigeonpea-maize intensification in Tanzania (Amare et al., 2012); the adoption of improved pigeonpea and chickpea varieties in Ethiopia and Tanzania (Asfaw et al., 2012); and rural poverty in Bangladesh (Mendola, 2007).”
The farm-level economics of conservation agriculture for resource-poor farmers (2014, background): “The results of Asfaw et al. (2012) illustrate the potential benefits of research to improve the productivity of legume crops in Ethiopia and Tanzania, with adopters of improved varieties gaining significant economic benefits.”
Tackling fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) outbreak in Africa: an analysis of farmers’ control actions (2019, neutral): “However, the farming systems, and agro-ecological and socio-economic conditions (such as farm sizes, yields, and access to institutional support services) in Africa are different from that in the Americas; hence, some of these control options may not necessarily be applicable to an African context.”
Effect of Agricultural Extension Program on Smallholders' Farm Productivity: Evidence from Three Peasant Associations in the Highlands of Ethiopia (2013, neutral): “Hence, wider dissemination of improved farm technologies, management practices and know-how to the smallholder farmers have been the major activities of the extension program (Kassa, 2003; Gebremedhin et al., 2009; Asfaw et al., 2012).”
