Modern variety adoption and risk management in drought prone areas: insights from the sorghum farmers of eastern Ethiopia (2010, background): “A number of studies, including McGuire (2005) and more recently Di Falco et al. (2007) and Di Falco and Chavas (2009), found that diversity within crops managed on Ethiopian farms is an important way of reducing downside production risk.”
Managing Increasing Environmental Risks Through Agro-Biodiversity and Agri-Environmental Policies (2010, unknown): “Several empirical studies have shown that higher agro-biodiversity may increase the mean level, and decrease the variance, of crop yields and farm income (Smale et al. 1998, Schl¨apfer et al. 2002, Widawsky and Rozelle 1998, Zhu et al. 2000, Di Falco and Perrings 2003, 2005, Di Falco et al. 2007).”
Irrigation as adaptation strategy to climate change—a biophysical and economic appraisal for Swiss maize production (2011, methodology): “To this end, we analyze the effect of changes in the coefficient of relative risk aversion in the range of 0 to 4 (assuming price scenario P1), which represents risk neutral farmers and typical forms of risk behavior ( Di Falco et al. 2007 ), on the differences in certainty equivalents between irrig”
Seeds for livelihood: Crop biodiversity and food production in Ethiopia (2010, background): “The role of biodiversity on food production is found to be positive and not negligible (e.g. Di Falco et al., 2007; Smale et al., 1998).”
