Economic statistics are frequently produced at an administrative level such as the sub-national division.
Efforts to increase smallholder access to improved varieties and quality seed is often central to agricultural development, economic growth and poverty reduction in low-income countries.
Farming Systems Analysis (FSA) is commonly used in CGIAR to assess ‘what works where, and for who?’. The findings are used to prioritize tailored/context-specific interventions and target investments for greater impact.
India’s agricultural systems are increasingly affected by the adverse effects of climate change.
Excessive anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere have disrupted the global nitrogen cycle.
Agricultural projects typically aim to promote the uptake of project components amongst targeted farm populations to improve their on-farm productivity within a “theory of change” that leads to improvements in their welfare.
Climate change forecasts for Ethiopia predict higher temperature and rainfall and increased variability in rainfall with periodic severe droughts and floods.
Background: Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients and protect against noncommunicable disease.
This collection of essays provides a wealth of information and analysis about the Philippine economy and the role of agriculture and economic policy in it.
Food systems are major contributors to climate change and other environmental problems, such as land-use change and biodiversity loss, depletion of freshwater resources, and pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems through nitrogen and phos
Despite the potential importance of seed quality to agricultural productivity growth, many governments in sub-Saharan Africa lack the capacity to expand quality assurance systems even where there is expressed interest.
We look at the prioritisation of agricultural value chains (VCs) for the allocation of R&D resources that maximise development outcomes (poverty, growth, jobs and diets) in Senegal.
Globally, the commons provide important ecosystem functions and services and contribute towards sustainable development and human population.
Nepal has a long history of irrigation, including government and farmer-managed irrigation systems that are labor- and skill-intensive. Widespread male migration has important effects on Nepalese society.
Institutional structures can fundamentally shape opportunities for adaptive governance of water resources at multiple ecological and societal scales. The properties of adaptive governance have been widely examined in the literature.
Systematic modeling of food demand and supply began in the 1990s with initiatives from IFPRI - International Food Policy Research Institute - and other global organizations.
This note summarizes the results of in-person interviews with 16 US farmers in Iowa and Illinois to identi-fy the motivations and challenges that impact farmers’ adoption of practices that improve biodiversity.
