The agricultural sector in developing countries like Nigeria is characterized by low productivity, driven partly use of modern technologies. Poor access to credit seen as a key barrier adoption these Policy discourses and literature often associate constraints smallholders with supply-side factors such inadequate sources rural finance or high costs borrowing. However, demand-side factors, smallholders' risk-averse behavior, transaction information asymmetry predominate areas equally play...
Credit constraint is often considered as one of the key barriers to adoption modern agricultural technologies and low productivity in low- middle-income countries. Past research much policy discourse associate credit constraints with supply-side factors, such limited access sources or high costs borrowing. However, demand-side risk-aversion financial illiteracy among borrowers could also affect credit-rationing smallholder households. This study investigates nature constraints, factors...
This paper combines panel data from nationally representative household-level surveys in Nigeria with long-term satellite-based spatial on temperature and precipitation using geo-referenced information related to households. It aims quantify the impacts of climate change agricultural productivity, income shares, crop mix, input use decisions. We measure harmful degree days, growing changes (30 year) anomalies during calendars. find that, controlling for other factors, a 15% (one standard...
The catchment of the River Thames, principal river system in southern England, provides main water supply for London but is highly vulnerable to changes climate, land use and population. eutrophic with significant algal blooms phosphorus assumed be primary chemical indicator ecosystem health. In Thames Basin, available from point sources such as wastewater treatment plants diffuse agriculture. order predict vulnerability future change, integrated catchments model (INCA-P) has been applied...
Conservation projects have often been criticised for creating global benefits while causing negative impacts on local livelihoods. Ecosystem services approaches seen as one way to change this by focussing explicitly maintaining ecosystems human well-being of stakeholders at various scales. However, ecosystem ignored trade-offs between groups people and issues power do not automatically lead better outcomes in terms well-being. Here we report a study the reforestation with an explicit focus...
