There is very limited information about the national level adoption of improved wheat varieties in Morocco. With the exception of some estimates based on secondary data, the same is true for household, regional and national ...
Modelling land-use decisions in production systems involving multiple crops and varieties
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that trade-offs and/or complementarities are
inherent in technological options that shape the adoption of and land-use decisions in production
systems involving multiple ...
Enhancing adoption of agricultural technologies requiring high initial investment among smallholders
