Agricultural extension services play an important role in agricultural development.

Evidence suggests that women’s limited access to resources, agency, and associated achievements affect agricul tural productivity in much of Africa and Asia.

Agricultural technology remains under-adopted among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigate how the (perceived) quality of an agricultural input affects its adoption by means of two interventions.

This study investigates the relationship between farm household participation in sugarcane production and food security in the main sugarcane-producing sub-regions of Busoga, Buganda, and Bunyoro of Uganda.

This study investigates sugarcane grower productivity and profitability in Uganda and whether and how they are influenced by institutional arrangements between sugarcane growers and millers.

Climate change poses a threat to smallholder farmers worldwide, impacting livelihoods and agricultural pro duction. At the same time, agrifood systems account for about one-third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can support the collection of agricultural data.

In this paper, we establish the link between crop productivity, crop market participation and agricultural technology use among smallholder farmers.

To fully benefit from new agricultural technologies like improved seed varieties, significant investment in complementary inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, and practices such as systematic planting, irrigation, and weeding are also requir

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.

Despite women's large contributions to agricultural production in developing countries, they are often excluded from market-facing activities. There is little evidence on how to increase their participation in commercial agriculture.

農業の変革と発展は、開発途上国の10億人以上の小規模農家をはじめ農村に 暮らす人々の生活にとって非常に重要である農業改良普及は、こうした変革 において重要な役割を果たし、アドバイス、情報提供、イノベーション、関係の仲介・促進、リスクや災害への対応などにより農民を支援することがで きる。本書は、農業改良普及の世界的な概要を示し、国および地域レベルの 改良普及システムを評価・比較し、以下の分野における改良普及アプローチ のパフォーマンスを検証している。

Agricultural research and development (R&D) is one component of public investments in the agricultural sector toward food system transformation.

Background

The livelihoods of millions of banana-farming households have been affected by Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) in Uganda for nearly two decades.

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

This paper was named AAEA's Best Paper at their 2022 Annual Meeting.
