Farmer preferences for milpa diversity and genetically modified maize in Mexico: a latent class approach (2007, unknown): “First, only a few previous applied economics studies have investigated the determinants of milpa and maize diversity in Mexico, and these have been based on the theoretic framework of the household farm (Smale et al., 2001; Van Dusen and Taylor, 2005), a revealed preference method.”

Conceptualizing Interventions to Support On-Farm Genetic Resource Conservation (2004, background): “The choice of varieties can be seen as a process by which farmers assemble various bundles of traits to suit specific production conditions, consumption preferences, or marketing requirements (Bellon, 1996; Smale, Bellon, & Aguirre, 2001 ).”
