• Guest Editorial, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Diversified Farming Systems: An Agroecological, Systems-based Alternative to Modern Industrial Agriculture (2012, background): “While they represent the bulk of the agricultural population, estimated at circa 2.6 billion people (Dixon et al. 2001), due to land inequalities they often do not control the bulk of the arable land (Nagayets 2005).”
• Agricultural production and soil nutrient mining in Africa: implications for resource conservation and policy development. (2006, background): “While it is difficult to generalize, given the diversity of cropping systems, four farming systems (World Bank, 2003; Dixon et al., 2001) are considered more prevalent in Africa from the point of view of the economic value of production, maintenance of soil productivity, and food requirements.”
• Agriculture and food security in selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: diversity in trends and opportunities (2011, result): “The idea of clustering is to some extent also supported by the farming systems study undertaken by Dixon et al. (2001).”
• Farmer organization, collective action and market access in Meso-America: (2009, background): “While these two crops provide some livelihood security for millions of smallholder farmers, extensive poverty is found throughout the system (Dixon et al. 2001).”
• Challenges of Agricultural Adaptation to Climate Change in Nigeria: a Synthesis from the Literature (2010, background): “FAO (2008) reported that about 90 per cent of Nigeria’s food is produced by small-scale farmers who cultivate small plots of land and depend on rainfall rather than irrigation systems as a result of their low knowledge base, access to facilities and poor financing.”
• Determinants of cereal market participation by sub-Saharan Africa smallholder farmer (2011, methodology): “The farming system dummies represent three farming systems largely identified by the dominant cropping systems, following a classification by Dixon et al (2001).”
• Household Livelihood Strategies and Implication for Poverty Reduction in Rural Areas of Central Nepal (2017, background): “However, low productivity in farming and limited accessibility to non-farm income sources have been increasing vulnerability of these people who are often poor and deprived with a minimum standard of life [3,4].”
• Impacts of climate change on farm income security in Central Asia: An integrated modeling approach (2014, methodology): “2) within the country according to farming system and bio-economic modeling studies (e.g. Dixon et al., 2001; Breisinger et al., 2013).”
