Determinants of farm diversification in integrated crop–livestock farming systems in Ghana (2017, background): “Specifically, such a classification includes per capita income, urbanization and population growth (Chand, 1996; Ryan and Spencer, 2001; Smith et al., 2001; Joshi et al., 2007), on the demand-side, whereas, on the supply-side, there are farm-level factors, household-level factors, biophysical…”
Diversification and Its Impact on Smallholders: Evidence from a Study on Vegetable Production (2006, unknown): “…gained in other developing countries suggest that diversification of agriculture towards high-value commodities and creation of non-farm employment opportunities have helped small landholders to augment their incomes and bail them out of the vicious circle of poverty (Ryan and Spencer, 2001).”
Building adaptive capacity to cope with increasing vulnerability due to climatic change in Africa – A new approach (2008, background): “Despite this knowledge, and the dependence of southern African economies on rain-fed agriculture, advances in productivity have been patchy and disappointing, given the considerable investment in public agricultural research (Anderson, 1992; Ryan and Spencer, 2001; NEPAD, 2004).”
Crop Diversification towards High-value Crops in India: A State Level Empirical Analysis (2015, background): “…researchers have argued that agricultural diversification can be used as an instrument to raise farm income, generate employment opportunities, alleviate poverty and for conservation of natural resources (Von Braun, 1995; Pingali and Rosegrant, 1995; Ryan and Spencer, 2001; Birthal et al., 2005).”
