Investigating women’s agency and achievements in agriculture: Insights from APART, Assam por Varkey, Lisa Mariam, Veettil, Prakashan Chellattan, Singh, Kanwar, Borgohain, Rupam, Bhattachrya, Ashok, Singh, Sudhanshu

“…Strong evidence exists to prove that women farmers have less access to land, inputs, labor and information compared to men, which, in turn, can influence technical efficiency in farms, that is the effectiveness with which a given set of inputs is used to produce output. Strong reasons indicate that women’s empowerment may contribute to enhancing technical efficiency, most notably through improvements in women’s access to human, physical, and social capital. …”

Mental models and the potential for crop intensification in coastal Bangladesh: How do farmers’ perceptions reflect proposed agricultural development pathways? por Shahrin, Sumona, Krupnik, Timothy J., Aravindakshan, Sreejith, Groot, Jeroen

“…Use of available water resources for irrigation, intensified farm management, and double cropping are relatively rare. The reasons for this ‘ironic’ situation are complex. They involve challenges with soil and water salinity, lack of infrastructure and market integration, and farmers’ generally low investment capacity and aversion to risk, among others. …”

Solar-powered cold-storages and sustainable food system transformation: Evidence from horticulture markets interventions in northeast Nigeria por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Yamauchi, Futoshi, Bawa, Dauda, Kamaldeen, Salaudeen O., Edeh, Hyacinth O., Hernandez, Manuel A.

“…Back-of-the-envelope calculations indicate that increased net revenues for market-agents may be sufficiently large to recoup the investments and operating costs of cold-storages within a reasonable time frame. Using cold-storage also reduced the share of food loss and lengthened the products' shelf-life, while raised prices received by both market-agents and farmers, which were associated with improved product quality, expanded value-adding activities by market-agents, and increased use of advance payments. …”
