Determinant factors of livelihood diversification: Evidence from Ethiopia (2017, background): “These factors tend to dominate in high-risk and low-potential agricultural environments, subject to drought, flooding and environmental degradation (Haggblade et al., 2007).”
African Economic Outlook 2012 (2012, background): “Haggblade et al. (2009) estimate that an increase of agricultural value added of one US dollar translates into an additional 30 to 50 cents value added in the rural non-farm economy.”

Rapid transformation of food systems in developing regions: Highlighting the role of agricultural research & innovations (2019, background): “RNFE is roughly 40% of rural household incomes in Africa and Asia, and a much higher share of total cash available, and far higher than migration income or credit flows (Haggblade et al., 2007).”
Ecosystem Services and Food Security: Economic Perspectives on Environmental Sustainability (2010, background): “Such push factors are associated with more casual engagement with non-farm business activities that rely on ecosystem resources and services, and participation may be occasional and erratic [43].”
Agriculture for Development: Toward a New Paradigm (2009, background): “…favorable expenditure patterns for promoting growth of the local non-farm economy, including rural towns, since they spend higher shares of income on rural non-traded goods and services, which are also generally more labor intensive (King and Byerlee, 1978; Haggblade, Hazell, and Reardon, 2008).”
