Improved forages and milk production in East Africa. A case study in the series: Economic foresight for understanding the role of investments in agriculture for the global food sys... by Gonzáles, Carlos, Schiek, Benjamin E., Mwendia, Solomon W., Prager, Steven D.

“…Overall, the model output suggests that investment in a forages research program related to both the qualities of the forage itself as well as programs to enhance dissemination and adoption of new materials would be low risk and with high likelihood for positive outcome, generating discounted net benefits on the order of potentially tens of millions of dollars.…”

Intellectual property rights, private investment in research, and productivity growth in Indian agriculture: A review of evidence and options by Kolady, Deepthi Elizabeth, Spielman, David J., Cavalieri, Anthony J.

“…Findings indicate that maize and pearl millet yields grew significantly during the last two decades due to the combination of (1) public policies that encouraged private investment in India's seed industry during the 1980s, (2) public investment in hybrid breeding programs that generated new materials offering substantial yield gains, and (3) biological IPRs conferred by hybridization that conveniently married the private sector's need for appropriability with the nation's need for productivity growth. …”

Beyond transformations: Zooming in on agricultural digitalization and the changing social practices of rural farming in Northern Ghana, West Africa by Abdulai, Abdul-Rahim, Gibson, Ryan, Fraser, Evan D.G.

“…We found that farmers perceive digitalization as transitioning their everyday activities across the farming spectrum, including decisions and activities related to season planning, planting, husbandry, harvesting, post-harvest management, and sales. Notably, 1) new materials of phones and digital platforms redefine farmers’ knowledge and competencies, ultimately 2) temporary re-patterning their routines and rhythms. …”
