Sustainability and scalability of index-based insurance for agriculture and rural livelihoods via New at IFPRI January 21st, 2010 at 13:49

image Farmers face a variety of market and production risks that make their incomes volatile from year to year. In many cases, farmers also confront the risk of catastrophe, as, for example, when crops are destroyed by drought or pest outbreaks or when assets and lives are lost to hurricanes and floods. These risks are particularly burdensome to the poor, including many small farmers. Unless adequately managed, they can slow economic development and poverty reduction and contribute to humanitarian crises. PDF file:  focus17_05.pdf(160KB)...

Decentralization, agricultural services and determinants of input use in Nigeria via New at IFPRI December 29th, 2009 at 16:36

image Using a large household survey data, this study examines the impact of government involvement in agricultural service provision on the use of modern inputs by farmers in Nigeria. The empirical methodology used in this study is based on the multilevel (nested) mixed effects estimator and controls for systematic differences and unobserved heterogeneity across sub-national governments. The empirical findings suggest that government involvement in agricultural service provision positively influences the farmers’ input use. PDF file:  ifpridp00941.pdf(752.8KB)...

Analyzing the nutritional impact of policies in Malawi via New at IFPRI December 28th, 2009 at 17:48

However, effective policy intervention requires knowing what causes malnutrition and how different development policies affect the nutritional status of the population.
