Women and small-scale irrigation: A review of the factors influencing gendered patterns of participation and benefits
Small-scale irrigation is expanding rapidly in parts of the world, especially sub-Saharan Africa, offering smallholder farmers an opportunity to improve their livelihoods, diets, and resilience to climate change among other benefits.
Malawi is a food-insecure country, and although most households have access to arable land, many rural Malawians cannot reliably obtain enough food to meet their dietary needs.
Structural transformation in Southeast Asia poses challenges to the regions' food security and inclusive agricultural growth agenda.

Understanding the factors that influence cereal-legume adoption amongst smallholder farmers in Malawi
Although sustainable intensification (SI) practices such as intercropping of cereals with legumes are believed to offer productivity benefits to farmers, the adoption of cereal-legume intercropping remains low in Malawi.
We study production practices of larger and more capital-intensive farmers (“horti-preneurs”) in horticultural commercial clusters in the central Rift Valley of Ethiopia.
