- Smallholder productivity and weather shocks: Adoption and impact of widely promoted agricultural practices in Tanzania (2017, background): “Agronomic studies (specifically focused on the practices analyzed in this paper) find that maize-legume intercropping system has the potential to alleviate binding soil quality constraints and improve productivity compared to mono-cropping (Schmidt et al., 2003; Rusinamhodzi et al., 2012).”
- De-mystifying family farming: Features, diversity and trends across the globe (2015, background): “On-farm diversification further increases resilience through risk spreading (Rusinamhodzi et al., 2012), and may contribute to nutrition security through dietary diversification (Swaminathan, 2014).”
- Growth and photosynthetic responses of soybean seedlings to maize shading in relay intercropping system in Southwest China (2014, background): “Cereal-legume intercropping, such as maizesoybean relay intercropping, is considered as a paradigm of sustainable agriculture based on the complementary mechanisms between the two species (Rusinamhodzi et al. 2012).”
- Improving intercropping: a synthesis of research in agronomy, plant physiology and ecology. (2015, background): “…productivity and resource-use efficiency whilst decreasing farming’s environmental impact, making intercropping a viable approach for ‘sustainable intensification’, particularly in regions with impoverished soils and economies where measured benefits have been greatest (Rusinamhodzi et al., 2012).”
