Diet-related risks cause 20% of global deaths (~11 million) per year (Afshin et al., 2019).

This paper introduces a new framework to quantify costs and benefits for resilience-related outcomes of agricultural innovations targeting smallholder farmers.

Background

Introducing small-scale irrigation can bring opportunities for empowerment and exclusion. To support equity and inclusion, projects must go beyond technology access alone.

Given persistent gender inequalities that influence how the benefits of technologies are distributed, the expansion of small-scale irrigation technologies requires the consideration of important gender dynamics and impacts.

An enabling, evidence-based decision-making framework is critical to support agricultural biotechnology innovation, and to ensure farmers’ access to genetically modified (GM) crops, including orphan crop varieties.

The FAO-IFPRI study, focuses on the use of tractors because they are among the most versatile farm mechanization tools and are universal power sources for all other driven implements and equipment in agriculture, with significant potential to repl

The effects of agricultural technology adoption on farm performance have been studied extensively but with limited information on who should be targeted during scaling-up.

Women’s empowerment is often an important goal of development interventions.

The FAO-IFPRI study, of which this policy brief is a summary, focuses on the use of tractors because they are among the most versatile farm mechanization tools and are universal power sources for all other driven implements and equipment in agricu

Child labour in agriculture remains a global concern. Agriculture is the sector where most child labour is found. Employment of children mostly relates to farm household poverty in developing countries.

The evidence on the potential for agricultural interventions to contribute to improved nutrition has grown considerably over the past decade (Ruel et al., 2018).

We adopt the newly redefined marginal treatment effect (MTE) framework to examine how farmers' resource endowment and unobserved factors affect the marginal benefit of adopting sustainable intensification of agricultural practices (SI practices),

Gender differences in the engagement of work activities across sectors are important elements of gender inequality in rural livelihoods and welfare in developing countries.

Agricultural research and development (R&D) is one component of public investments in the agricultural sector toward food system transformation.

Background: Low quality diets are a public health problem affecting individuals of all ages worldwide.

The quality of agricultural products can affect both farm incomes and the healthfulness of farm families’ diets.
