Adoption of improved wheat varieties and impacts on household food security in Ethiopia (2014, background): “…crops (maize, groundnuts, pigeonpeas, rice) on agricultural productivity and household welfare (e.g. Mendola, 2007; Minten and Barrett, 2008; Alene et al., 2009; Shiferaw et al., 2008; Asfaw et al., 2012; Becerril and Abdulai, 2010; Kijima et al., 2011; Kassie et al., 2011; Amare et al., 2012).”
The future of grain legumes in cropping systems (2012, background): “Thiswould allowgoodquality seed production and enhance farmer access, and at the same time create a new livelihood from the price premium received from seed production (Shiferaw et al. 2008).”
Agricultural Technology Adoption, Seed Access Constraints and Commercialization in Ethiopia (2011, methodology): “Similar results were found for improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania (Shiferaw et al., 2008) and for cowpeas in Nigeria (Kristjanson et al.”
The impact of cooperatives on agricultural technology adoption: Empirical evidence from Ethiopia (2013, background): “Empirical studies using micro-level data indicate that agricultural intensification through dissemination and adoption of better agricultural technologies can reduce poverty and food insecurity in SSA (Shiferaw et al., 2008; Kijima et al., 2008).”
Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption: A Micro-evidence from Rural Tanzania (2012, background): “This positive effect of the farmer technology awareness variable is consistent with Shiferaw et al. (2008) for improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania, Kristjanson et al. (2005) for cowpea varieties, Kaliba et al. (2000) for maize varieties and Gebreselassie and Sanders (2006) for sorghum in…”
Impact of tissue culture banana technology on farm household income and food security in Kenya (2014, background): “Failure to adopt technologies may also emanate from seed access constraints and inadequate local supply of planting material (Shiferaw et al., 2008; Tripp and Rohrbach, 2001).”
Climate change and agricultural technology adoption: the case of drought tolerant maize in rural Nigeria (2012, background): “…proposed by Cragg (1971), and its variants have recently been used in the study of agricultural technology adoption such as soil conservation (Gebremedhin and Swinton 2003), improved crop variety (Shiferaw et al. 2008; Langyintuo and Mungoma 2008) and poultry breed (Teklewold et al. 2006).”
Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare: Evidence from Tanzania and Ethiopia (2012, background): “This positive effect of farmer technology awareness variable is consistent with Shiferaw et al. (2008) for improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania, Kristjanson et al. (2005) for cowpea varieties, Kaliba et al. (2000) for maize varieties and Geberessiliese and Sanders (2006) for sorghum in Ethiopia.”
