Abstract The SHRUG is an open data platform describing multidimensional socioeconomic development across 600,000 villages and towns in India. This paper presents three illustrative analyses only possible with high-resolution data. First, it confirms that nighttime lights are highly significant proxies for population, employment, per capita consumption, electrification at very local levels. However, elasticities between night-lights these variables far lower time series than cross section,...
Knowledge is a critical enabling factor for healthy agri-food innovation systems (AIS). AIS and related knowledge management (KM) frameworks face significant implementation challenges. We review applications of KM to AIS, the current state art shortcomings present new framework, Agricultural Management Innovation (AKM4I). Previous agricultural do not integrate pragmatically, use linear, reductionist, top-down pathways innovation, explicitly incorporate issues power, politics, ownership,...

This paper presents method assess plausible impacts an agricultural production shock potential materiality for insurers. A hypothetical, near-term, plausible, extreme scenario was developed based upon modules historical shocks, linked under warm phase El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) meteorological framework.

In 2012, Africa RISING conducted participatory community analysis (PCA) as the first phase of a development approach in Ethiopian highlands. The PCA identified trends, constraints, and opportunities – shed light upon how farmers perceive livelihoods to be changing. Inputs, diseases, pests, soil fertility, post-harvest management, fodder shortages were seen challenges, while off-farm income has become increasingly important. Gender differences livestock crop preferences for food security...
