Animal sourced foods and child stunting por Headey, Derek D., Hirvonen, Kalle, Hoddinott, John F.

“…We first document distinctive patterns of ASF consumption among children in different regions, particularly highly variable patterns of dairy consumption, low consumption of eggs and meat, and surprisingly frequent consumption of fish in several poor regions of Africa and Asia. We then examine how ASF consumption is associated with child stunting in multivariate models saturated with control variables.…”

Determinants of agricultural machinery adoption intensities in Ghana por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Liu, Yanyan

“…Globally, mechanization has often been associated with large-scale farming given the complementarity between machine and land. The experiences in Asia in the last few decades, however, suggest that mechanization may grow even among smallholders before they transition into larger-scale farmers. …”

Production systems: Biophysical and economic environment and constraints por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Bakare, Oladele Samuel

“…We show, for example, that the typical rice-production environments in Nigeria, such as climate, water access, and soils, may not be as favorable as they are in major rice-producing regions of Asia. Nevertheless, compared to other tropical West African countries, the prevalence of a lowland rice ecology in Nigeria offers it the greatest potential in the region for production growth, except for certain socioeconomic constraints that prevent households from adopting modern inputs and improved technologies. …”

Micro-level practices to adapt to climate change for African small-scale farmers: A review of selected literature por Below, Till, Artner, Astrid, Siebert, Rosemarie, Sieber, Stefan

“…The analysis is based on a review of 17 studies about practices that boost small-scale farmers' resilience or reduce their vulnerability to observed or expected changes in climate; it includes data from more than 16 countries in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The review shows that African smallholders are already using a wide variety of creative practices to deal with climate risks; these can be further adjusted to the challenge of climate change by planned adaptation programs. …”

Genetically modified foods, trade, and developing countries por Pohl Nielsen, Chantal, Thierfelder, Karen, Robinson, Sherman

“…This model is used to analyze the implications of widespread use of genetically engineered crops in some regions whilst consumers in Western Europe and High- income Asia adopt a critical attitude toward GM foods. Two different representations of consumer preference changes are illustrated: (1) a change in price sensitivity: i.e. consumer demand is less sensitive to a decline in the price of GM foods relative to non-GM varieties, and (2) a structural demand shift: for a given price ratio consumers simply demand less of the GM variety relative to the non-GM variety. …”

Out of the shadow of famine: Evolving food markets and food policy in Bangladesh por Ahmed, Raisuddin, Haggblade, Steven, Chowdhury, Tawfiq-e-Elahi

“…The book sets the Bangladeshi case in the larger context of the South Asian subcontinent and other developing countries in Asia. The authors examine the shifting structure of supply and demand in the grain markets, the history of government intervention in those markets, and the more recent changes that altered the arguments for such intervention and led to policy changes. …”

Roots and tubers for the 21st century: trends, projections and policy options por Scott, Gregory J., Rosegrant, Mark W., Ringler, Claudia

“…How the production and use of these commodities have changed and will continue to change over time are all the more important to understand because of the contribution they make to the diets and income-generating activities of the rural and urban poor in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This paper provides a fuller understanding of the prospects of roots and tubers for food, feed, and other uses in developing countries in the decades ahead. " (excerpted from Forward by Per Pinstrup-Andersen and Hubert Zandstra)…”
