Determinants for deployment of climate-smart integrated pest management practices: a meta-analysis approach by Sekabira, H., Tepa-Yotto, G., Djouaka, R.F., Clottey, V., Gaitu, C., Tamò, Manuele, Kaweesa, Y., Ddungu, S.P.

“…More specifically, income was found to positively influence the adoption of CS-IPM technologies while land size owned influences CS-IPM adoption negatively. Registered land tenure (registered secure rights) positively influences CS-IPM technologies’ adoption, implying that efficient land markets that enable competitive and fair distribution and access to land, more so by the vulnerable but efficient smallholder producers do indeed increase the adoption of CS-IPMs technologies. …”

Creating an enabling environment for solar irrigation ownership in Nigeria by Ojeleye, O. A., Oke, Adebayo, Minh, Thai Thi, Tilahun, Seifu A.

“…To scale effectively, two pathways emerge: private-sector-led flexible financing and risk-sharing, combined with government-driven awareness, extension, subsidies, tariff reforms, and improvements in land tenure. Co-designed, evidence-based approaches with farmers are crucial for promoting inclusivity, attracting investment, and enhancing Nigeria’s agricultural productivity and climate resilience.…”

Multiple pathways of commodity crop expansion in tropical forest landscapes by Meyfroidt, Patrick, Carlson, K.M., Fagan, Matthew E., Gutiérrez Vélez, Victor Hugo, Macedo, M.N, Curran, L, DeFries, Ruth S., Dyer, G.A., Gibbs, H.K, Lambin, E.F., Morton, D.C, Robiglio, Valentina

“…We propose five hypotheses to be tested in further studies: (i) land availability mediates expansion pathways and the likelihood that land use is displaced to distant, rather than to local places; (ii) use of already-cleared lands is favored when commodity crops require access to infrastructure; (iii) in proportion to total agricultural expansion, large-scale actors generate more clearing of mature forests than smallholders; (iv) property rights and land tenure security influence the actors participating in commodity crop expansion, the form of land use displacement, and livelihood outcomes; (v) intensive commodity crops may fail to spare land when inducing displacement. …”
