Non-Tariff Measures and Standards in Trade and Global Value Chains (2015, background): “…supplying to high standard value chains are often those who are somewhat larger, more capitalized and more commercially oriented, as documented by Asfaw et al. (2010b), Handschuch et al. (2013), Hernandez et al. (2007), Kersting and Wollni (2012), Maertens and Swinnen (2009), and Neven et al.…”
Impact of Bt cotton on pesticide poisoning in smallholder agriculture: A panel data analysis (2011, background): “Other studies showed that experience may reduce the incidence of poisoning (Asfaw et al., 2010; Maumbe and Swinton, 2003), because experienced farmers are often more aware of pesticide-related risks, which may result in more careful handling.”
Organic Agriculture, Food Security, and the Environment (2018, background): “Organic farming can also reduce occupational health hazards, as farmers and farm workers are less exposed to chemical pesticides (Asfaw et al. 2010, Forman & Silverstein 2012, Shreck et al. 2006).”
Impact assessment of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for suppression of mango-infesting fruit flies in Kenya (2016, background): “Overuse of chemical pesticides is especially evident in the horticultural industry (Macharia et al., 2005, 2008; Asfaw et al., 2010), that has led to several interceptions of horticultural products, including mango fruits, in the international market (Lux et al., 2003).”
