• Facilitating Agricultural Technology Adoption Among the Poor: The Role of Service Delivery Through Mobile Phones (2012, unknown): “Weather conditions and climatic shocks also increase uncertainty and risk, in particular among subsistence farmers who are dependent on rainfall (Kaliba et al. 2000).2 Searching for this information can be costly.”
• Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare: Evidence from Tanzania and Ethiopia (2012, background): “This positive effect of farmer technology awareness variable is consistent with Shiferaw et al. (2008) for improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania, Kristjanson et al. (2005) for cowpea varieties, Kaliba et al. (2000) for maize varieties and Geberessiliese and Sanders (2006) for sorghum in Ethiopia.”
• Technology adoption under seed access constraints and the economic impacts of improved pigeonpea varieties in Tanzania (2008, background): “Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is an important grain legume widely grown and adapted to the semi-arid regions of South Asia and Eastern and Southern Africa.”
• The Perception of and Adaptation to Climate Change in Africa (2007, background): “Kaliba et al. (2000) insist that future research and extension policies should feature farmer participation in the research process and on-farm field trials for variety evaluation and demonstrations.”
• Agricultural Technology Adoption, Seed Access Constraints and Commercialization in Ethiopia (2011, background): “, 2005) and maize varieties in Tanzania (Kaliba et al., 2000).”
• The Effect of Social Capital on Fertiliser Adoption: Evidence from Rural Tanzania (2002, methodology): “Farm size, human capital, the availability of extension services, geographical characteristics, and relative prices are among the determinants of fertilizer adoption that have been identified in the last decade (Nkonya et al. 1997; Kaliba et al. 2000).”
• Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption: A Micro-evidence from Rural Tanzania (2012, background): “Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, DRC, Burundi, and the Comoros are pigeonpea-producing countries in SSA.”
