From plot to scale: Ex-ante assessment of conservation agriculture in Zambia by Komarek, Adam M., Kwon, H., Haile, B., Thierfelder, Christian L., Mutenje, M.J., Azzarri, Carlo

“…Finally, we conducted a spatial farm typology analysis to help understand the spatial variation in our field-scale indicators and provide insights into trade-offs and the suitability of CA-based systems for farmers. Average changes in yield from using CA-based systems (compared with the control) at the district scale ranged from −37% to 70% (average 33%), with a similar range of changes in benefit-cost ratios once economic factors were included, in addition to intra-district yield variability. …”
