African farmer-led irrigation development: re-framing agricultural policy and investment? (2017, background): “This is despite the overwhelming evidence of socioeconomic differentiation in African rural areas, particularly as a result of differential access to non-farm income that is the principal source of capital for agricultural investment (Reardon 1997; Murton 1999; Ellis 2000; Ellis and Freeman 2005).”
Livelihood diversification strategies, incomes and soil management strategies: a case study from Kerio Valley, Kenya (2008, background): “They suggest that substantial mobility barriers to high-return niches exist within the rural off-farm economy (Reardon, 1997; Ellis, 2000; Barrett et al., 2001; Bryceson, 2002; Ellis and Freeman, 2005).”
Quantifying rural livelihood strategies in developing countries using an activity choice approach (2013, result): “This supports existing quantitative livelihood strategy findings (Brown et al., 2006; Ellis and Freeman, 2005; Jansen et al., 2006; van den Berg, 2009) as well as more qualitative findings (e.g., Homewood, 2005).”
Beyond Industrial Agriculture? Some Questions about Farm Size, Productivity and Sustainability (2010, background): “It is significant in this regard that analysis of rural income composition in East Africa, summarized by Ellis and Freeman (2005, 43) shows, first, that non-farm income constitutes a higher proportion of income as total income rises, so that the better-off are less dependent on agriculture.”
New investment, old challenges. Land deals and the water constraint in African agriculture (2012, background): “…in Africa is not new, having historical antecedents in patterns of labour migration at least since the early twentieth century (Adams 1977, First 1983), but is now commonplace and documented by an extensive literature (Reardon 1997, 1998, Ellis 2000, Barrett et al. 2001, Ellis and Freeman 2005).”
