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 ...
Improved agricultural input delivery systems for enhancing technology adoption: evidence from a field experiment in Ethiopia
In this study, we test the hypothesis that small-scale testing can reduce the risk and
uncertainty of trying new technologies. We conducted a field experiment, in a cluster
randomised control trial setting, to examine ...
Strategizing for out-scaling Proven Technologies and Innovations
The presentation concerns the benefits of out-scaling, the fundamentals of adoption and diffusion, the use of system thinking in reserach and concludes with water management strategies on a watershed level.
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 ...
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Imperfect information about the benefits of agricultural technologies among smallholder farmers is a key factor for their low adoption and hence low agricultural productivity in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). We use a cluster ...
Current Situation, Investment Opportunities, and Future Outlooks of Malt Barley Production in Ethiopia
This study assesses the current situation and identifies opportunities and constraints along the malt barley value chain in Ethiopia. The future prospects of malt barley production, processing and marketing in line with ...
Adoption Study of Improved Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Poverty eradication is the fundamental development agenda of the government of Ethiopia. In response to this, all the development policies and strategies of the country are oriented towards the achievement of this goal. ...
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 ...
Impact of agricultural extension services on the adoption of improved wheat variety in Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
Although many studies have shown that sub-Saharan African countries could increase agricultural productivity and output through better technologies and improved crop varieties, the adoption of yield-enhancing technologies ...
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 ...
