The potential of small-scale rainfed agriculture to strengthen food security in Arab countries
In most Arab countries, domestic agricultural production is insufficient. The gap between production and demand is likely to increase due to climate change and other factors. This review paper examines the challenges and ...
Institutional and farm-level challenges limiting the diffusion of new varieties from public and CGIAR centers: The case of wheat in Morocco
Low adoption of agricultural technologies slows efforts to increase agricultural productivity and enhance rural livelihoods in developing countries. A large body of literature has sought explanations for the problem, but ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis

Economic Impacts of Legume Varieties and Rotations: The Case of Faba-beans in the Wheat – Based Production Systems of Morocco
While the impacts of cereal-legume rotations on soil health are well documented, the literature on their economic benefits is scanty. By applying the propensity score matching and endogenous switching regression methods ...
Are continued public sector and CGIAR investments on wheat crop improvement research justifiable? A Moroccan case
In Morocco, the adoption of recent improved wheat varieties is low, casting doubt on whether investments in wheat research are paying off. This paper generates estimates of the returns to the national and international ...
Income and Consumption Impacts of Improved Faba bean Varieties and Rotation with Wheat: A Moroccan Case
While the benefits of legumes for soil health are well documented, the literature is scanty on their economic benefits. Applying propensity score matching and endogenous switching regression to a nationally representative ...
