Geographic prioritization of agricultural investments por Maruyama, Eduardo, Scollard, Phoebe

“…With this purpose in mind, we develop a spatial and economic tool for strategic analysis and visioning to help understand where the best opportunities for investments in agriculture, with specific examples for investments in irrigation and roads in Ethiopia and Malawi. For such investments to be effective for poverty alleviation, it is necessary that they lead to farm-level increases in productivity and are translated into higher incomes and better livelihoods for rural households. …”

Pilot evaluation of the Index Based Flood Insurance in Bihar, India: Lessons of experiences por Aheeyar, Mohamed M. M., de Silva, Sanjiv, Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali

“…Advances in satellite technology and data analysis were integrated to develop index insurance products, which were piloted in different countries throughout the world such as India, Ethiopia, Senegal, and United States. The index insurance products help minimize the high transaction costs and have the potential to expand the reach of insurance policies to rural areas that were previously considered uninsurable (Swain and Patnaik, 2016; Smith and Watts, 2019). …”

Whole-genome sequence data suggests environmental adaptation of Ethiopian sheep populations por Wiener, P., Robert, C., Ahbara, A., Salavati, M., Abebe, A., Kebede, Adebabay, Wragg, D., Friedrich, J., Vasoya, D., Hume, D.A., Djikeng, Appolinaire, Watson, M., Prendergast, James G.D., Hanotte, Olivier H., Mwacharo, Joram M., Clark, E.L.

“…As agriculture and food security are likely to be strongly affected by climate change, a better understanding of environment-imposed selection on agricultural species is warranted. Ethiopia is an ideal setting to investigate environmental adaptation in livestock due to its wide variation in geo-climatic characteristics and the extensive genetic and phenotypic variation of its livestock. …”
