CONTEXT: India's agricultural systems are increasingly affected by climate change's adverse effects.

This paper presents the findings from an experimental study designed to assess the impacts of one-time large lump sum cash transfers on welfare and coping strategies of smallholders in climate-risk and conflict-affected communities in northeast Ni

CONTEXT

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.

Public expenditures (PE) are critical for key public sector functions that contribute to development and welfare improvements, including the provisions of necessary public goods and the mitigation of market failures.

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.

CONTEXT

Improving adaptive capacity of crop systems through minimum mechanical soil disturbance, permanent soil organic cover, and crop species diversification.

Initial impacts & resilience of China's food systems during the pandemic and the government's responses & long-term efforts to promote resilience.

Chicken & eggs make important contributions to food & nutrition security of low-income households in Myanmar. What are the impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar's poultry sector?

This paper uses multiple rounds of household survey panel data to assess the distributional implications of variability in agricultural productivity in Nigeria and Uganda.

COVID-19 induced significant economic and social disruptions in India. Rural households, including smallholders, were affected by loss in migrant income, livelihood and farm and non-farm incomes.

Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season.

Increasing the productivity of commercially oriented smallholder farming households in Nigeria results in greater incomes for their households, which, in turn, can drive an expansion in local nonfarm employment opportunities and raise incomes acro

Postharvest loss is a major challenge in food production and supply chains in developing countries.

The agricultural sector in Nigeria is characterized by low productivity that is driven by low use of modern agricultural technologies, such as improved seed, chemical fertilizer, agrochemicals, and agricultural machinery.

Recent agricultural transformation in Asia and Africa has witnessed the gradual spread of mechanization in agricultural areas that are still largely made up of smallholder farming.
