Continuous observations of CO2 and CH4 exchange from East-African rangelands by Merbold, Lutz, Odongo, Vincent O., Dowling, T., Fava, F., Glücks, I., Vrieling, A., Wooster, M., Leitner, Sonja

“…Due to the soil and climate combination, conventional crop agriculture is rarely feasible without irrigation and mineral fertilizer amendments, which in turn are limited by prohibitively high fertilizer prices and lack of water. Instead, pastoral livestock keeping is a valuable option to use these marginal lands and – under the right management – can be a sustainable form of food production and biodiversity protection given that most of these landscapes have co-evolved with megafauna over millennia. …”

Total and Partial Factor Productivity in Developing Countries by International Food Policy Research Institute

“…Each output v alue is a composite of 190 crop and livestock commodities aggregated using a constant set of global average prices from 2004-2006. Inputs include agricultural land, measured by the sum, in hectares, of cropland and permanent pasture; labor, measured by the number of animals in cattle equivalents; machinery, measured by the total amount of horsepower available from four-wheel tractors, pedestrian-operated tractors, and combine-threshers in use; and fertilizer, measured by tons of fertilizer nutrients used. …”

Baseline Evaluation of the Impact of E-Verification on Counterfeit Agricultural Inputs and Technology Adoption in Uganda: Community Listing Exercise by International Food Policy Research Institute

“…Counterfeit agricultural inputs directly reduce productivity and, together with the perception of widespread counterfeiting, reduce demand for high-quality inputs. This lowers input prices and reduces profits for producers of genuine products, causing a form of “adverse selection” in which counterfeit products push high-quality genuine products out of the market. …”
