• Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption: A Micro-evidence from Rural Tanzania (2012, background): “…Francis http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00220388.2012.671475 have reduced poverty directly by raising incomes of farm households and indirectly by raising employment, wage rates of functionally landless labourers and by lowering the price of food staples (De Janvry and Sadoulet, 2001; Irz et al., 2001).”
• Not Your Average Job: Measuring Farm Labor in Tanzania (2016, unknown): “Despite the importance of the agricultural sector in reducing poverty and food insecurity (Chen and Ravallion 2007; Irz et al. 2001; Ligon and Sadoulet 2007), serious weaknesses in agricultural statistics persist.2 In this study, we examine one aspect, measures of family farm labor.”
• The Role of Agriculture in Ensuring Food Security in Developing Countries: Considerations in the Context of the Problem of Sustainable Food Production (2020, background): “Bearing in mind that agriculture has a much greater impact on reducing poverty and improving food security than the other sectors of the economy [24,25], and considering differences in the potential for agricultural production across countries, the aim of this paper is to identify relationships betw”
• Impact of modern agricultural technologies on smallholder welfare: Evidence from Tanzania and Ethiopia (2012, background): “Drawing from existing literature, benefits from improved agricultural technologies have influenced the poor directly by raising incomes of farm households and indirectly by raising employment, wage rates of functionally landless laborers and by lowering the price of food staples (de Janvery and Sado”
• The role of agriculture in economic development (2007, background): “(Irz et al., 2001)52 identify effects of agricultural growth on farm economy, rural economy and national economy.”
• Sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. (2014, background): “Agricultural growth is more effective at reducing poverty than general economic growth, which is especially important in countries with largely agrarian populations and suffering from high levels of poverty (Irz et al., 2001; de Janvry and Sadoulet, 2010; Christiansen et al., 2011).”

• Land productivity and plot size : is measurement error driving the inverse relationship ? (2017, unknown): “More directly demonstrating this point, Irz et al. (2001) estimate that a 10 percent increase in farmland productivity can reduce the number of poor people in Africa by 7 percent.”
• Livestock sector development for poverty reduction: an economic and policy perspective. Livestock's many virtues. (2012, background): “31 In addition to its direct benefits, bottom-up agricultural growth also has powerful leverage effects on the rest of the economy, especially in the early stages of economic transformation, when consumption linkages prevail (Irz et al., 2001; Hazell and Diao, 2005).”
• Heaven or Hubris: Reflections on the New 'New Poverty Agenda' (2003, background): “Irz et al. (2001) summarise the pathways, in Table 3: agricultural growth can reduce poverty by increasing farm income or employment, by creating jobs or livelihoods in related industries or by means of consumption linkages, lower food prices, or through increased tax revenue being spent on services”
• Agriculture and Development: A Brief Review of the Literature (2011, unknown): “For example, if technological progress in the agricultural sector is labor-saving, farm employment might not necessarily increase (Irz et al., 2001).”
