Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective. Livestock's many virtues. (2012, background): “For example, on average, smaller farms achieve higher land productivity than their larger-scale counterparts (Barrett, 1996; Heltberg, 1998; Pender et al., 2004; Wiggins, 2009), a phenomenon referred to as the “inverse productivity relationship”, partly because farmers working on their own fields ap”

(2004) use alternative indicators (physical distance to all weather road, distance to nearest market, etc) of market access and how this affects crop production and soil erosion.”
Farmers’ perceptions of a ‘push–pull’ technology for control of cereal stemborers and Striga weed in western Kenya (2008, result): “The positive influence of extension on technology adoption is consistent with findings from other studies that found a significant influence of extension education on adoption of land-improving technologies (e.g. Pender et al., 2004; Baidu-Forson, 1999).”
Do overlapping property rights reduce agricultural investment ? evidence from Uganda (2007, unknown): “…these figures, note that they are very conservative estimates as they completely neglect the value of soil fertility investment which can be very large according to recent studies valuing annual nutrient loss due to lack of soil conservation at 20% of average household income (Pender et al. 2004).”
