Improving Agricultural Extension Systems for Wider Adoption of Technologies: Project highlights and main objectives
This introduction on the project inception workshop summarizes the project highlights and main objectives of the project Designing effective Extension Service Delivery Systems for Enhancing Wider Adoption of Agricultural ...
Tracking Adoption of Improved Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Report on Tracking Adoption of Improved Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Measuring the effectiveness of extension innovations for out-scaling agricultural technologies
Low adoption levels of agricultural technologies undermine the impacts of national and international agricultural research. Using a combination of an ordered logit and Heckman selection models and a case study from an ...
Varietal output and adoption in barley, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, and lentil in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan
This chapter focuses on the improvements in the production of barley, chickpea, faba bean, field pea and lentil in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan. Information on cultivar output and adoption of these crops is also presented.
Trends in Global and National Grain Legume Production and Trade: Implications on Local Chickpea and Lentil production Dynamics: The Case of Gimbichu and Minjar-Shenkora Districts of Ethiopia
The purpose of this study was to examine the major drivers of change shaping the current lentil and chickpea production dynamics and identify and prioritize researchable areas for further in-depth study in the future.
The ...
Gender Perspectives on the Dynamics of Lentil and Chickpea Production: the Case of Gimbichu and Minjar-Shenkora Districts, Ethiopia
Ethiopia has different agro-ecologies conducive for producing different crops. The country is the home of different pulse grain production and it was increased between 2000-2012 (Vincent and Jason 2013). Twelve pulse types ...
Farmers’ perception on climate change, their vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change, and their adaptation strategies
The effects of climate change vary across regions, households, individuals and farming systems, and so do farmers’ adaptation strategies. In the Amhara region, little is known about how climate change affects rainfed ...
Bio-economic system model at the watershed level
The bio-economic and climate change modeling work under this project aims at mimicking the current decision making process of farmers in a systems’ context by intermarrying both the socioeconomic and biophysical dynamics ...
Modeling Farmers’ Adoption Decisions of Multiple Crop Technologies: The Case of Barley and Potatoes in Ethiopia
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that adoption decisions on multiple technologies involve a series of three sequential sub-decisions. Using a multivariate tobit and multivariate probit models and a nationally ...
Introducing new agricultural technologies and marketing strategies: A means for increasing income and nutrition of farm households in Ethiopia
Many developing regions have excellent potential agricultural resources. However, historically, the population has become so concentrated in these regions that acute poverty and malnutrition now predominate. The food ...
