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.

This dataset is the result of a phone survey set up to measure the impact of COVID-19 on rural people in Ghana.

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.

Diversification is a common livelihood strategy for rural households in developing countries, with diversification being either a choice or necessity depending on individual household contexts.

It is widely recognized that periods of crisis affect men and women differently, mediated by their access to resources and information, as well as social and institutional structures that may systematically disadvantage women from being able to ac

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

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),

Les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire (PRFI), notamment en Afrique subsaharienne, font face à une « nouvelle réalité nutritionnelle » (Popkin, Corvalan, and Grummer-Strawn 2020) appelée le double fardeau de la malnutrition, où les enfants de m

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including in Africa south of the Sahara, face a “new nutrition reality” (Popkin, Corvalan, and Grummer-Strawn 2020) referred to as the double burden of malnutrition, where children under five years of age

The dataset contains the data and scripts required to generate the tables and figures in the article titled "Trade-offs and synergies associated with maize leaf stripping within crop-livestock systems in Northern Ghana."

CONTEXT

While the lockdown in Ghana due to COVID-19 was not as stringent or long as in other countries (at least up to June 2021), it has severely affected rural household incomes, including remittances.

As COVID-19 vaccines are becoming available, governments will need to assess the number and location of the most vulnerable people within their populations.

In anticipation of the development of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine—the distribution of which will be a complex and sensitive issue—governments will need to assess the number and location of the most vulnerable people within their populati

Irrigated agriculture can support food and nutrition security, increase rural employment and incomes and can act as a buffer against growing climate variability and change.

Women’s empowerment is important to improve the status of women and achieve greater gender equity. It is also an important vehicle for achieving other development goals related to food security, nutrition, health, and economic growth.

Increasing crop diversity opens market opportunities for households while still contributing to self-consumption indicating that crop diversification may be more beneficial to farmers than specialization. (Ghana)
 

We analyze the linkages between irrigation and nutrition using data from irrigators and non-irrigators in Northern Ghana.
