Adoption of agroforestry and the impact on household food security among farmers in Malawi (2016, result): “This result is in line with some authors’ findings that there is a higher increase in crop productivity when inorganic fertilizer is coupled with fertilizer trees in farm management (Place et al. 2002, Beedy et al., 2010).”
Soil quality and fertilizer use rates among smallholder farmers in western Kenya (2009, unknown): “(Place et al., 2002).”
Linkages between Land Management, Land Degradation, and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of Uganda (2008, background): “Place et al. (2002) observed in western Kenya that femaleheaded households, from which the husbands were absent, were less likely to use chemical fertilizer but more likely to use compost than married male-headed households.”
Prospects for integrated soil fertility management using organic and inorganic inputs: evidence from smallholder African agricultural systems (2003, background): “In the more humid western highlands, Place et al. (2002a) found that 70% of households used manure and 41% used compost.”
Who is using the new technology? The association of wealth status and gender with the planting of improved tree fallows in Eastern Province, Zambia (2004, background): “First, whereas mineral fertilizer is strongly associated with high-income male farmers (Place et al., 2002), improved fallows appear to be a gender-neutral and wealthneutral technology.”
Agroforestry and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (2004, methodology): “These practices tend to be adopted to a greater extent by the poorest families in the villages, which is unusual for agricultural innovations (Place et al. 2002).”
Adoption of improved fallow technology for soil fertility management in Zambia: Empirical studies and emerging issues (2003, methodology): “This approach was used in a recent study (Place et al. 2002).”
Agroforestry research and development in southern Africa during the 1990s: Review and challenges ahead (2003, background): “Results proved that these improved fallow systems were profitable, nearly doubling the net benefits on a per hectare basis five years after planting the fallow (Place et al. 2002).”
Strategies For Sustainable Land Management And Poverty Reduction In Uganda (2004, unknown): “…strategies of households and focuses mostly on household-level factors, with little information on the impacts of community and higher-level factors; few studies show the impacts of resource management decisions on poverty, food security, or other outcomes of interest (Place et al. 2002b).”
