Understanding Potato Production Practices in North-Western Kenya through Surveys: an Important Key to Improving Production

Thomas K. Kwambai et al.

Summary: Potato is the second most important food crop in Kenya after maize, but many farmers have been producing it with sub-optimal management practices, leading to low yields. This study compared and documented potato production practices in different areas of Kenya to contribute towards improved management and productivity. The findings suggest that effective potato farming and management practices can significantly influence potato performance and may vary based on the production environment.

Agroecology Can Promote Climate Change Adaptation Outcomes Without Compromising Yield In Smallholder Systems

Kyle M. Dittmer et al.

Summary: We assessed the outcomes of smallholder agricultural systems and practices in low- and middle-income countries, and found that the use of organic nutrient sources, system diversification with legumes, and integrated pest management contribute to climate change adaptation in multiple contexts. However, information on climate change mitigation is lacking. Widespread adoption of agroecological practices and system transformations show promise for climate change services and food security in these countries.

Confronting climate change and livelihood: smallholder farmers' perceptions and adaptation strategies in northeastern Burundi

Pacifique Batungwanayo et al.

Summary: This study examines the perceptions of climate change and variability among smallholder farmers in the northeastern region of Burundi and identifies their adaptation methods. The majority of farmers perceive significant increases in temperature and unpredictability of rainfall and are implementing adaptation strategies such as changing crop varieties and fertilizers. Factors such as agricultural education and experience, farm and family size, livestock ownership, climate information access, credit access, and farm income strongly influence farmers' decisions to adapt to climate change. The study highlights the need to strengthen farmers' capacities and improve the policy framework for climate change adaptation.

A review of Ghana's planting for food and jobs program: implementation, impacts, benefits, and costs

Karl Pauw

Summary: Farm input subsidies are widely used in Sub-Saharan African countries to address low adoption of fertilizers and seeds. Ghana's Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) initiative is an evolved subsidy program, but the government's monitoring and evaluation system lacks the ability to accurately assess its impacts. This research develops a simple and effective impact assessment model for PFJ, using evidence from various sources, and suggests recommendations for improving the program's efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Climate change adaptation in smallholder agriculture: adoption, barriers, determinants, and policy implications

Prahlad Lamichhane et al.

Summary: Adaptation to climate change is crucial for the resilience of smallholder agriculture in developing countries. However, there are barriers to the adoption of adaptation measures by smallholder farmers. This study empirically investigates the adoption, barriers, and determinants of adaptation measures in Far Western Province, Nepal, for three different agroecosystems. The findings highlight the need for agricultural development policies that tailor climate change adaptation measures to specific agroecosystems in order to alleviate barriers and promote smallholder resilience.

Yield reduction due to diseases and lodging and impact of input intensity on yield in variety trials in five cereal crops

F. Laidig et al.

Summary: Breeding multi-resistant varieties and reducing input intensity are crucial for sustainable cereal production. This study evaluated the yield reduction caused by diseases and lodging and the impact of input intensity and soil fertility. The results showed that different cereal varieties had varying levels of yield reduction due to diseases and lodging, and soil fertility had the strongest impact on yield.

Gender Dimensions of Climate Change Adaptation Needs for Smallholder Farmers in the Upper East Region of Ghana

Mohammed Gali Nuhu et al.

Summary: Gender-specific perceptions and needs are crucial for understanding the climate change adaptation capacities of local smallholder communities. In Ghana's Upper East Region, female smallholder farmers expressed an urgent need for financial support, more farmland, and connections to farmers' mutual-help groups. Gender-specific needs for extension services, farm inputs, climate information, mechanization, and infrastructure were also identified.

Understanding the determinants of climate change adaptation strategies among smallholder maize farmers in South-west, Nigeria

O. A. Adeagbo et al.

Summary: This study found that factors such as household size, non-farm income, and frequency of extension visits significantly influence smallholder maize farmers' adoption of climate change adaptation strategies, while variables such as age, household size, and non-farm income impact the intensity of these strategies. Efforts to support rural development in Nigeria should focus on enhancing farmers' membership in farm-based organizations, increasing extension agent visits, promoting non-farm income sources, and providing access to climate change information, particularly during the off-cropping season.
