Farm typology analysis and technology assessment: an application in an arid region of South Asia by Kumar, S., Craufurd, Peter Q., Haileslassie, Amare, Ramilan, T., Rathore, A., Whitbread, Anthony M.

“…For instance, the interest of farmers in integrating perennial fruit trees even among the rainfed farm household types markedly varied: household type 1 preferred the multipurpose forestry tree, khejri which requires low labor inputs; household type 2 preferred market-oriented horticulture production; household type 3 did not opt for perennials but for small ruminants; and household type 4 (dominated by women) opted for small horticulture kitchen gardens. The study demonstrated the utility of a mixed-methods approach that addresses multi-dimensional heterogeneity to generate insights and assist in co-designing locally appropriate technologies across different farm types and agro-ecological regions to achieve sustainable intensification.…”

Towards a viable system for monitoring agrobiodiversity on-farm: A proposed new approach for Red Listing of cultivated plant species by Padulosi, S., Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan
