Mini-tillers bolster Nepal maize farmers’ food supplies and profits, new study shows by Listman, Mike

“…Use of lightweight, 5-9-horsepower mini-tillers by smallholder farmers in Nepal’s mid-hills cut tillage costs and boosted maize yields by facilitating timely maize cultivation, thus enhancing food self-sufficiency and farm profits and reducing rural poverty, a new study by an international team of scientists shows.Published in the Journal of Economics and Development, the study reports findings of an on-farm survey involving more than 1,000 representative households from 6 districts of the mid-hills, a region of steep and broken terrain where rainfed maize is a staple crop, outmigration of working-age inhabitants makes farm labor scarce and costly, and farmers on small, fragmented landholdings typically till plots by hand or using ox-drawn plows.…”

Bio-economic modeling: State-of-the-art and key priorities by Flichman, Guillermo, Allen, Thomas

“…This development was enhanced by the conjunction of several factors such as the multiplicity of objectives in new agricultural policies, the increase of demand for multi-disciplinary approaches for integrated assessment, and the call for more dialogue and cooperation between scientists from various disciplines. Even though an important number of bio-economic models have been developed and tested on different farming systems and under various agro-ecological conditions (Flichman and Jacquet, 2002; Janssen and van Ittersum, 2007), there is a lack of literature regarding the implicit or explicit assumptions of these models and economic theory, their main ad-vantages compared to conventional economic approaches, and their specific contributions in strengthening collaboration and improving integration between different disciplines.…”
