- Climate change adaptation: a study of multiple climate-smart practices in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2019, result): “In general, these results support the conclusion that farmers in developing countries have traditionally adapted to climate risk by diversifying across a number of adaptation practices (Shiferaw et al., 2009).”
- Crop diversification as a smallholder livelihood strategy within semi-arid agricultural systems near Mount Kenya (2015, background): “Crop diversity and agricultural innovation Extensive attention has been given to agricultural innovation and adoption (e.g. Feder and Umali, 1993; Saha et al., 1994; Diederen et al., 2003; Knowler and Bradshaw, 2007; Shiferaw et al., 2009).”
- Managing vulnerability to drought and enhancing livelihood resilience in sub-Saharan Africa: Technological, institutional and policy options (2014, background): “Secure rights to land and access to rural finance markets (credit, insurance, savings) can also play an important role in buffering against risk, providing incentives for conservation investments and sustainable intensification (Shiferaw et al., 2008).”
- Social capital, risk preference and adoption of improved farm land management practices in Ethiopia (2015, background): “This suggests that when adoption is considered as an individual action problem beyond profitability, capturing supply-side constraints and market inefficiencies is important since affordability is crucial in explaining low adoption rates of profitable technologies (Abdulai and Huffman, 2014; Shifera”
- Systemic perspectives on scaling agricultural innovations. A review (2016, background): “…issue have led some to advocate for participatory design and best-fit options, requiring processes of adaptation and translation (Cerf et al. 2012; Garb and Friedlander 2014; Giller et al. 2011; Klerkx et al. 2010; Knowler and Bradshaw 2007; Shiferaw et al. 2009; van der Stoep and Strijbos 2011).”
- Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, methodology): “This can include structural methods such as terracing and stone bunding (Shiferaw et al. 2007), the use of chemical or organic fertilizers, changes to tillage practices, and agroforestry techniques.”
