The Role of Smallholder Farms in a Changing World (2020, background): “The connection is not automatic, however, and varies according to country-specific circumstances, especially the country’s potential for agricultural and non-agricultural (includingminerals and manufacturing) sources of growth (Hazell et al. 2010).”

The Number, Size, and Distribution of Farms, Smallholder Farms, and Family Farms Worldwide (2016, background): “Hazell et al. (2010) report on median farm size for a selection of 16 low-and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and ﬁnd that, for most countries considered, median farm size decreased from 1970 to 2000.”
Commercialization of the small farm sector and multidimensional poverty (2019, unknown): “Against this background, agricultural development has been acknowledged as one of the main pathways for poverty alleviation (World Bank, 2015; Hazell et al., 2010; de Janvry & Sadoulet, 2009).”

(2012, background): “In many developing countries, average farm sizes are declining (Hazell et al., 2010), and small farms will continue to dominate the agricultural landscape in the developing world for at least another 20 years, especially in Africa and Asia (Nagayets, 2005).”
Revisiting the Farm Size‐Productivity Relationship Based on a Relatively Wide Range of Farm Sizes: Evidence from Kenya (2019, unknown): “…on small-scale farms in developing countries, a low imputed opportunity cost of family labor contributes to findings of relatively high net value of output per hectare compared to large farms (Mazumdar 1965; Taslim 1989; Binswanger-Mkhize, Bourguignon, and van den Brink 2009; Hazell et al. 2010).”

Estimating the global number and distribution of maize and wheat farms (2021, background): “Modeling the distribution of farm size and other farm characteristics is also of high policy relevance (Hazell et al., 2010; van Vliet et al., 2015; Graeub et al., 2016; Lowder et al., 2016, 2021).”

Agricultural labour productivity, food prices and sustainable development impacts and indicators (2013, background): “This is important in ongoing debates about the relative roles of small and large scale farms in agricultural development (see for example Collier and Dercon, 2009; Hazell et al., 2010).”
