Meet a Researcher
Tim Thomas is a Senior Research Fellow in the Foresight and Policy Modeling Unit. His research focuses on the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity. This work has expanded recently to include evaluating the fuller impact of climate change by accounting for uncertainty and interannual variability, especially in regard to extreme events and low-productivity years. Tim’s work involves developing innovative methods for simulated climate futures; generating crop yield emulators to provide intuition and to speed simulations; and model coordination…

Making a Difference Blog Series

Africa’s agriculture sector, particularly south of the Sahara, has enormous potential to provide jobs and food for a growing population—and thus contributing to food security, economic growth, and poverty reduction. To realize this potential, farmers across Africa have increasingly turned to mechanization.
In 2011, at the request of the Ghanaian government, IFPRI began work to assess the impacts and progress of mechanization programs in Ghana. These assessments shaped reforms and policies, helping farmers reduce drudgery and improve efficiency and yields.
Tamsin Zandstra, Sam Benin, and Seth Asante outline how farmers have benefited from Ghana’s Agricultural Mechanization Services Enterprise Centers Program.
