Gender gaps in sustainable land management and implications for agricultural productivity: Evidence from Ethiopia
We investigate whether a large-scale watershed program promoting sustainable land management (SLM) in Ethiopia increases adoption of SLM and its benefits on plots owned by women in male-headed households compared to plots owned by their spouses, j
Relatives, neighbors, or friends: Information exchanges among irrigators on new on-farm water management tools
CONTEXT: On-farm water application in Ethiopia, as in much of Sub-Saharan Africa, is dominated by furrow irrigation, which resulted in inefficient water uses and related economic and environmental problems.
Key stakeholders and actions to address Lake Beseka’s challenges in Ethiopia: A social network approach
