Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze smallholder farmers’ perceptions climate change and its adverse effects, identify major adaptation strategies used by farmers the factors that influence choice strategy in eastern Ethiopia.
Climate‐smart innovations have been receiving increasing attention in policy dialogues for their potential to transform agricultural systems and improve the well‐being resilience of farm households. Using recent panel data from Ethiopia combined with novel historical weather data, we provide microeconomic evidence welfare effects conservation agriculture (CA), a climate‐smart practice. We use endogenous switching regression model deal selection bias farmer heterogeneity CA choice. The study...
Abstract Using unique crop‐specific data gathered over 7 years, we study if and how maize‐producing farmers in Ethiopia adjust their land allocation decisions response to pre‐planting‐season weather variations. We show that increased temperatures early the growing season. In addition quantifying a substantial adaptation margin has not been documented before, our also reveals presence of variation‐induced expansion maize production into areas are less suitable for cultivation.
Abstract While a lot has been written on the socio‐economic and welfare impacts of agricultural technologies, there bias toward crop production systems to neglect improved livestock methods technologies. This paper explores practices technologies using data from low‐income country. Using an econometrics technique that corrects selection bias, shows adoption positive impact household welfare, measured by consumption expenditure diet quality. The study also identified increased animal source...
