- Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2015, background): “…(FAO, 2011; Tittonell et al., 2012), they would also need an improvement of the socio-economic context including policies, extension services, markets, infrastructure, strengthening the linkages within the rural economy (Bhattarai et al., 2002; Hall et al., 2008; Homann-Kee Tui et al., 2013).”
- Infrastructure and Poverty Reduction - What is the Connection? (2003, background): “For instance, an irrigation multiplier, estimated for irrigated areas in the New South Wales region of Australia, shows that a dollar worth of output generated in irrigated agriculture creates more than five dollars worth of value added to the regional economy (Bhattarai et al. 2002).”
- Irrigation, agricultural performance and poverty reduction in China (2006, unknown): “For example, Bhattarai et al. (2002) found that irrigation increases cropping intensity and thus crop revenue per hectare in Vietnam, India and Sri Lanka.”
- Investing in water for food, ecosystems, and livelihoods: an overview of the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture. (2010, background): “From a broader national perspective, Bhattarai et al (2002) estimate a multiplier of 3.15 for irrigation in India, meaning that for every $1 generated by irrigated crop production that directly benefits farmers, another $2.15 indirectly benefits economic development.”
