CONTEXT

This research report aims to identify major food supply implications and potential entry points for a more efficient, nutritious, sustainable, and equitable transformation of Senegal’s food system.

The paper aim and novelty is the development of technology-based tools able of providing realistic insights on farmers’ future adaptation decisions by developing an ML algorithm to predict Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices and highlight mo

There is growing recognition that water insecurity – the inability to reliably access sufficient water for all household uses – is commonly experienced globally and has myriad adverse consequences for human well-being.

In rural societies with strong gender norms and customs, small informal agribusinesses may often be one of the few ways in which women can independently generate revenue.

We study the impact of one-season transfers framed for agricultural investment combined with agricultural support services on decision making among smallholder households in Senegal and Malawi using data from randomized control trials.

This policy note summarizes results from a Lab-in-the-field experiment1 in eastern Uganda, where a representative sample of 760 smallholder maize farmers were given the opportunity to bargain over a bag of maize seed from either a male or female s

Agricultural extension services play an important role in agricultural development.

Evidence suggests that women’s limited access to resources, agency, and associated achievements affect agricul tural productivity in much of Africa and Asia.

Uganda is highly vulnerable to adverse impacts from climate change, including erratic rainfall patterns, prolonged droughts, and increased frequency of pests and diseases.

Agricultural technology remains under-adopted among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigate how the (perceived) quality of an agricultural input affects its adoption by means of two interventions.

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is critical for reducing smallholder farmers’ vulnerability and enhancing their capacity to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change.

Depuis la pandémie de COVID-19 et plus récemment la crise russo-ukrainienne, la problématique de construire des systèmes alimentaires résilients et durables est devenue une urgence pour la plupart des pays d’Afrique au Sud du Sahara (ASS) dont le

Edutainment shows promise in changing behavior at scale, yet little is known about how to maximize impacts.

This study investigates the relationship between farm household participation in sugarcane production and food security in the main sugarcane-producing sub-regions of Busoga, Buganda, and Bunyoro of Uganda.

This study investigates sugarcane grower productivity and profitability in Uganda and whether and how they are influenced by institutional arrangements between sugarcane growers and millers.

Climate change poses a threat to smallholder farmers worldwide, impacting livelihoods and agricultural pro duction. At the same time, agrifood systems account for about one-third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Lack of access to information is an important barrier affecting women farmers’ adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices and technologies.
