This article examines the effect of remittance income on deforestation in Nepal during 2001–2010 using satellite-based land use data and a nationwide household survey.
Mismatch between soil nutrient deficiencies and fertilizer applications: Implications for yield responses in Ethiopia
Lack of accurate information about soil nutrient deficiencies coupled with limited access to appropriate fertilizers could lead to mismatch between soil nutrient deficiencies (requirements) and fertilizer applications.
Solar-powered cold-storages and sustainable food system transformation: Evidence from horticulture markets interventions in northeast Nigeria
Modern cooling technologies that utilize renewable energy sources have been increasingly recognized as a promising tool to address a multitude of challenges emerging in progressively complex food systems in developing countries.
The government of Sri Lanka has implemented a myriad of fertilizer import and use options during 2015 – 2021 with the objective of making agricultural systems more financially and environmentally sustainable.
Adoption of multiple sustainable land management practices among irrigator rural farm households of Ethiopia
Using a household and plot-level survey conducted in Ethiopia, this study analyzes the difference in farmers’ adoption of sustainable land management (SLM) practices between their rainfed and irrigated plots.
This survey was conducted to collect baseline data for a randomized control trial preceding the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.
This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial study. The endline survey was conducted two years after the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Dedza District in the Central Region of Malawi.
This survey was conducted to collect endline data for a randomized control trial, two years after the introduction of the improved cookstoves in the Angonia District of Mozambique.
This survey was conducted to collect baseline data for a randomized control trial preceding the introduction of improved energy cookstoves in the Angonia district in Mozambique.
A sub-national field assessment of land degradation was conducted in the Kongwa districts of Tanzania in December 2019. 34 sampling plots were selected using a stratified sampling method based on a land cover map.
Ethiopia has made efforts to tackle the challenges of low crop and livestock productivity and degradation of land resources through various rural development strategies.
This data set contains GIS source data files showing breakeven installed costs for solar PV system (unit: US$/Wp) over Africa South of Sahara calculated in a study that compares the economic cost of groundwater pumping for irrigation powered by so
The countries sharing the Niger River suffer from poor access to clean water and energy as well as food insecurity.
Soil health and grain yield impacts of climate resilient agriculture projects: Evidence from southern Malawi
Climate-resilient agriculture projects can enhance sustainable ag by improving soil health, increasing grain yields, & building ag systems' resilience to climate change & extreme weather shocks.
Mismatch between soil nutrient requirements and fertilizer applications: Implications for yield responses in Ethiopia
Lack of accurate information about soil nutrient requirements coupled with limited access to appropriate fertilizers could lead to mismatch between soil nutrient requirements and fertilizer applications.
Soil health and gender: Why and how to identify the linkages
Rethinking food system policies in terms of “eco-agro-food systems” can help to foster an integrated approach that will maintain and restore vital ecosystem services and reduce the likelihood of future shocks.
Solar or diesel: A comparison of costs for groundwater‐fed irrigation in Sub‐Saharan Africa under two energy solutions
Sub‐Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity and energy poverty. Expanding irrigated agriculture can help boost food production in the region, but this requires energy for accessing water, especially in groundwater‐fed irrigation.
