Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms to identify highly autocorrelated areas: the case of spatial distribution in financially compromised farms (2014, background): “GIS utilities to analyse geo-referenced spatial data also include quite a number of possibilities like: Kernel estimation (Silverman 1986), distance decay estimates (Staal et al. 2002) and dynamic Minimum Spanning Trees (Assunçao et al. 2006).”
Conservation agriculture, organic marketing, and collective action in the Honduran hillsides (2010, background): “On account of this, some studies have included distance variables measuring the distance from the farm to the nearest market, in some cases accounting for qualitative differences in the road structure (Jansen, Pender, Damon, Schipper, 2006; Staal et al., 2002).”
Bio-economic evaluation of farmers' perceptions of viable farms in western Kenya (2006, background): “The household model was adapted to the smallholder systems in western Kenya by modifying the enterprises and integration between them, e.g., pasture and livestock, maize and bean intercrops, maize in the first season and maize and or sorghum in the second season.”
Spatial patterns of organic agriculture adoption: Evidence from Honduras (2014, background): “is scarce, there is increasing evidence on the role of neighborhood effects and social interactions(2) in the adoption of agricultural technologies more generally (Bandiera and Rasul, 2006; Best et al., 1998; Case, 1992; Conley and Udry, 2010; Holloway et al., 2002; Staal et al., 2002).”
Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development (2011, background): “Where there are market opportunities farmers may invest their savings in purchasing a dairy cow (Staal et al., 2002), or to buy oxen for ploughing.”
Livelihood diversification strategies, incomes and soil management strategies: a case study from Kerio Valley, Kenya (2008, background): “…heterogeneities in livelihood strategies across regions, their associationwith resourcemanagement technologies, as well as the effects of agro-ecological factors, population and market conditions (Staal et al., 2002; Pender et al., 2004; Kristjanson et al., 2005; Kruseman et al., 2006).”
Food and Agriculture in Ethiopia: Progress and Policy Challenges (2013, background): “Previous studies on the adoption of technology (such as improved seeds and fertilizer) find clear spatial patterns suggesting that access to main roads and market centers determine the success and pace of adoption (Staal et al. 2002; Croppenstedt, Demeke, and Meschi 2003; Yu et al. 2010).”
The Perception of and Adaptation to Climate Change in Africa (2007, unknown): “Staal et al. (2002) consider the location and uptake of technology in Kenya.”
