Climate change adaptation and mitigation in smallholder crop–livestock systems in sub-Saharan Africa: a call for integrated impact assessments (2016, background): “However, across the African continent the disappointingly low adoption rates of solutions are a reason for concern (Cooper et al. 2008; Cavatassi et al. 2011).”
Seed systems smallholder farmers use (2016, background): “…several common stereotypes: first, the notion that smallholder farmers will prioritize seed saving in times of stress (De Waal 1991) and, second, that own-saved seed provides the bulk of smallholder sowings (e.g., Bezner Kerr 2013; Cavatassi et al. 2011; Guei et al. 2011; Marfo et al. 2008).”
Production Risks and Food Security under Alternative Technology Choices in Malawi: Application of a Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression (2015, unknown): “…(physical conservation structures, improved seeds, crop biodiversity) on production risk mitigation also focused on single technology adoption analysis (Kim and Chavas, 2003; Kassie et al., 2008; Di Falco and Chavas, 2009; Cavatassi et al., 2011; Kato et al., 2011; Di Falco and Veronesi, 2014).”
Traditional agriculture in transition: examining the impacts of agricultural modernization on smallholder farming in Ghana under the new Green Revolution (2018, background): “make such shorter maturing periods more suitable for farming amid increasing climate variability (Cavatassi et al. 2011).”
Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources (2011, background): “Local PAGR may be expected to perform better than improved PAGR in marginal production environments, which have only slightly been modified by external inputs (Bellon, 2006; Cavatassi et al., 2011).”
Estimating the Impact of Drought on Agriculture Using the U.S. Drought Monitor (2018, unknown): “For example, Cavatassi et al. (2011) investigate whether farmers in Ethiopia adopt modern, drought-tolerant varieties of sorghum as a risk reduction strategy in the face of drought. Moreover, Ding, Schoengold, and Tadesse (2009) investigate the relationship between drought and flood events and the l”
