Bio-economic efficiency of creep supplementation of forage legumes or concentrate in pasture-based lamb production system
Supplemental feeding of lambs with forage legumes or grains provides a potential option to increase proportion of prime lambs and profitability in intensive pasture-based lamb production systems. A two-year study in the ...
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 ...
Are Development Projects Pursuing Short-Term Benefits at the Expense of Sustainability?

Bio-economic analysis of dual-purpose management of winter cereals in high and low input production systems
Dual-purpose (DP) management of cereals holds promise to reduce the feed gap and to better integrate crop and livestock systems especially in drylands where forage deficit is severe. However, there is limited information ...
Impacts of Improved Supplemental Irrigation on Farm Income, Productive Efficiency and Risk Management in Dry Areas
This paper provides empirical evidence that improved supplemental irrigation
(ISI) can be justified on both environmental and economic grounds. Results
of a stochastic frontier model which explicitly and simultaneously ...
