Resilience in farm technical efficiency and enabling factors: Insights from panel farm enterprise surveys in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan by Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Djanibekov, Nodir, Abduvalieva, Nilufar, Mirkasimov, Bakhrom, Akramov, Kamiljon T.

“…Using novel methods that combine Inverse Probability Weighting and panel stochastic frontier analyses models, we show that farmers who received more agricultural training and who had been granted greater autonomy in their production decisions in 2018 experienced greater resilience in technical efficiency despite the need to reduce the use of chemical fertilizer and oil/diesel in response to their price surges. …”

Group-based and citizen science on-farm variety selection approaches for bean growers in Central America by Occelli, Martina, Sellare, Jorge, Sousa, Kauê de, Dell’Acqua, Matteo, Mercado, Leida, Paredes, Saul, Robalino, Juan, Rosas, Juan Carlos, Etten, Jacob van

“…Utilizing a difference-in-difference model with inverse probability weighting and an instrumental variable approach, we observe that farmers involved in group-PVS, and tricot-PVS had comparable levels of on-farm varietal diversification with respect to control farmers. …”

Institutional arrangements between sugarcane growers and millers in Uganda and implications for grower productivity and profitability by Mbowa, Swaibu, Guloba, Madina M., Mather, David L., Nakazi, Florence, Bryan, Elizabeth, Nakkazi, Sheila

“…There is also a clear trade-off (an inverse relationship) between the level of competition between large and small cane mills in a region and the level of grower-miller coordination of market assurance and input access, as embodied by institutional arrangements between growers and millers. …”

The intertemporal evolution of agriculture and labor over a rapid structural transformation: Lessons from Vietnam by Liu, Yanyan, Barrett, Christopher B., Pham, Trinh, Violette, William

“…This enhanced integration also manifests in steady attenuation of the longstanding inverse farm size-yield relationship. Farming has remained securely household-based and the family farmland distribution has remained largely unchanged. …”

Impact of recapitalisation and development programme on performance of land reform beneficiary farmers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa by Shabangu, T., Ngidi, Mjabuliseni, Ojo, Temitope O., Babu, Suresh Chandra

“…In the same vein, a doubly-robust inverse probability weighted regression adjustment was used as credible remedy for potentially biased estimates of ATT and POM of endogenous treatment model. …”

Who uses and who benefits from warehouse receipt systems? An examination of contract level transactions on the Agricultural Commodity Exchange for Africa, 2011–2018 by Thunde, Jack, Baulch, Bob

“…Large traders took out both the largest number of warehouse receipts and deposited the largest volumes, followed by medium and small traders, farmers associations/groups, and then farmers. An inverse relationship exists between the duration of storage, the cost of financing and the returns that ACE warehouse receipt depositors make. …”

Adoption of food safety measures among Nepalese milk producers: Do smallholders benefit? by Kumar, Anjani, Thapa, Ganesh, Joshi, Pramod Kumar, Roy, Devesh

“…The additional cost of compliance with food milk safety measures reveals an inverse relationship with herd size. The factors associated with the adoption of food safety measures are caste, number of children and elderly people in a family, household labor size, herd size, access to information, inspection for conformity with the safety and quality standards in dairy farming, perception of households about food safety assistance provided by milk buyers, and market outlet types. …”

Evidence from Odisha’s Mamata scheme: Can conditional cash transfers improve the uptake of nutrition interventions and household food security? by Raghunathan, Kalyani, Chakrabarti, Suman, Avula, Rasmi, Kim, Sunny S.

“…We conduct regression analyses and correct for endogeneity using nearest-neighbor matching and inverse-probability weighting models. We find that the receipt of payments from the Mamata scheme is associated with a 5 percentage point (pp) increase in the likelihood of receiving antenatal services, a 10 pp increase in the likelihood of receiving IFA tablets, and a decline of 0.84 on the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. …”

Low vitamin D intake is associated with anemia in women of reproductive age in Vietnam by Smith, Ellen, Gonzalez-Casanova, Ines, Nguyen, Phuong Hong, Nguyen, Hieu, Pham, Hoa, Truong, Truong, Nguyen, Son, Martorell, Reynaldo, Ramakrishnan, Usha

“…Age, being a farmer, food insecurity, and body mass index were inversely associated with vitamin D intake (p<0.001), and socioeconomic status, total energy intake, and level of education were positively associated with vitamin D intake (p<0.001) in multiple linear regression analysis with vitamin D intake as the outcome. …”

The impact of extension delivery through private local service providers on production outcomes of small-scale aquaculture farmers in Bangladesh by Obi, Chinedu, Manyise, Timothy, Brako Dompreh, Eric, Khondker, Murshed-E-Jahan, Rossignoli, Cristiano

“…Data analysis was conducted with Multivalued Treatment Effects (MTE) estimated using an augmented inverse-probability weighting method that allows for heterogeneous treatment effects. …”

Associations between women’s bargaining power and the adoption of rust-resistant wheat varieties in Ethiopia by Euler, Michael, Jaleta, Moti, Gartaula, Hom

“…To account for observed heterogeneity that may simultaneously determine the level of women’s agency and varietal adoption by households, we employed Inverse Probability-Weighted Regression Adjustment (IPWRA). …”

Genetic variation in biomass traits among 20 diverse rice varieties by Jahn, Courtney E., Mckay, John K., Mauleon, Ramil, Stephens, Janice, McNally, Kenneth L., Bush, Daniel R., Leung, Hei, Leach, Jan E.

“…Surprisingly, photosynthetic rates among the varieties were inversely correlated with biomass accumulation. Examining these data in an evolutionary context reveals that rice varieties have achieved high biomass production via independent developmental and physiological pathways, suggesting that there are multiple targets for biomass improvement. …”

Tracking the storage root bulking of cassava under split application of fertilizer nutrients by Omondi, J.O., doRosario, N., Manda, N., Ntawuruhunga, P., Parkes, E., Mushoriwa, H., Mbuthia, L.W., Kyei-Boahen, S.

“…Furthermore, the relationship between root number and either root diameter or root length was significantly inverse. This study has successfully indicated the root attributes that can be observed to predict storage root yield, and that staggering fertilizer application in targeted splits increases root yield, however, this must be synchronized with moisture availability for optimal benefit.…”
