• The farm-level economics of conservation agriculture for resource-poor farmers (2014, background): “Kumar et al. (2011) identified significant economic benefits from a variety of CA and related systems, in a number of Indian states.”
• Early adoption of conservation agriculture practices: Understanding partial compliance in programs with multiple adoption decisions (2018, background): “…on the agronomic and economic impacts of CA for smallholder farmers as well as patterns of CA adoption (e.g., Haggblade and Tembo, 2003; Baudron et al., 2007; Giller et al., 2009; Kassam et al., 2009; Erenstein et al., 2012; Ngwira et al., 2012; Pannell et al., 2014; Corbeels et al., 2014).”
• Gender, nutrition- and climate-smart food production: Opportunities and trade-offs (2013, background): “Depending on the level of mechanization and inputs used, additional challenges can relate to the availability of and demand for labour (Baudron et al. 2007; Nyanga et al. 2012) and to increases in weeds and pests (Erenstein et al. 2012; Wall 2007).”
• Systems approaches to innovation in crop protection. A systematic literature review (2014, background): “Keyword analysis demonstrates that the AIS publications are more holistic than publications in the other three categories, addressing a broad range of technology-oriented and systems-oriented topics (e.g. Erenstein et al., 2012; Lanteri and Quagliotti, 1997).”
• Climate change adaptation, greenhouse gas mitigation and economic profitability of conservation agriculture: some examples from cereal systems of Indo-Gangetic Plains (2015, background): “Although exposure of farmers to ZT has created a belief among the farmers in the IGP about the viability ZT wheat (Erenstein et al. 2012), farmers still prefer to practice tillage in rice crop for weed control and reduction in percolation loss of water/nutrient.”
