- Agriculture and food security in selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: diversity in trends and opportunities (2011, background): “…share of agriculture in GDP (close to 50%); – half of the agricultural land lying in arid and semi-arid (dryland) zones, often with poor quality soils (Ehui and Pender 2005); – over-reliance on rain-fed agriculture (less than 5% of land is irrigated), which is highly vulnerable to fluctuations in…”
- Bio-economic evaluation of farmers' perceptions of viable farms in western Kenya (2006, background): “…areas such as central Kenya with respect to agroclimatic potential, access to technologies, technical assistance and land tenure, the region faces two main challenges: high population density and poor market access, which both condition prevailing production systems (Ehui and Pender, 2005).”
- Non-farm income, household welfare, and sustainable land management in a less-favoured area in the Ethiopian highlands (2004, background): “Ehui and Pender (2003) found that food-for-work (FFW) and cash-for-work (CFW) projects accounted for 40% of non-farm income in Tigray.”
- Productivity Growth, Technical Progress and Efficiency Change in African Agriculture (2004, background): “About two-thirds of the 627 million people living in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) depend on agriculture or agriculture-related activities for their livelihoods (Ehui and Pender, 2003).”
