Estimating the intrahousehold costs and benefits of innovations to enhance smallholder farmers’ resilience
This paper introduces a new framework to quantify costs and benefits for resilience-related outcomes of agricultural innovations targeting smallholder farmers.
Summing the parts: How does “bundling” affect willingness-to-pay for seeds and insurance in a sample of Kenyan farmers?
Agricultural households, particularly those operating in rainfed systems in low income countries, are vul nerable to a variety of climate and market risks that pose serious threats to their well-being.
Control over future payouts and willingness to pay for insurance: Experimental evidence from Kenyan farmers
2022 annual report
IFPRI’s 2022 Annual Report presents highlights from our research work in low- and middle-income countries and on global challenges.
Agrifood value chains in the world’s low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have expanded rapidly over the past decade, supplying an increasing volume and diversity of food products.
The water literature has mainly investigated the diversion and distribution of water from the source to the end users or the utilization of water at the farm level in crop production.
Digital tools and agricultural market transformation in Africa: Why are they not at scale yet, and what will it take to get there?
Despite enthusiasm for the potential of digital innovations to transform agricultural markets in Africa, progress made thus far has been limited to small-scale experiments that often fail to scale up.
Digital financial services (DFS), particularly mobile banking, have the potential to extend financial services to unbanked populations.[1] Specifically, DFS reduce direct and indirect transaction costs.
Digital farmer registry and tailored extension and advisory services in Ethiopia: A process evaluation
Ethiopia hosts one of the largest extension systems in Africa, with approximately 43 development agents (DAs) per 10,000 farmers, more than 15,000 farmers training centers (FTCs) that serve as a focal point for agricultural development activities
We investigate the effect of a modest food safety premium on semisubsistence farmers' investment in a food safety technology.
Accelerating technical change through ICT: Evidence from a video-mediated extension experiment in Ethiopia
Despite enthusiasm around applications of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to smallholder agriculture in many lower-income countries, there are still many questions on the effectiveness of ICT-based approaches.
