With data from Kenya we show how institutional innovation can help increase adoption of veterinary technologies among smallholders. Increasing smallholder livestock productivity is key for nutrition security and climate change mitigation. Zef Hemel ILRI.org doi.org/10.1111/1477-9…

Are extension agents promoting agri-environmental innovations inadequate? Use WhatsApp and other ICT-based channels. Robertson RB Khataza & co-author show positive evidence of ICT promoting adoption of agroforestry in Malawi. doi.org/10.1007/s10457…

Tech dev is often seen as an important pathway to make #FoodSystems more sustainable. But how does the innovation landscape in #AgriFood VCs look like? Are we making the right investments? We explore these question in our new paper out in #FoodPolicy 1/4 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We develop new geocoded metrics of food environments & link these to child diet & nutrition data in Malawi. Food market variety is positively associated with child dietary diversity & negatively associated with stunting. Congrats Vivien Hülsen. OA paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.food…

Several countries are using input subsidies to increase the adoption of improved seed varieties (ISV). However, do these ISV spur long-term food security? In our new publication, we find that ISV increased food security in Malawi. Congrats@ dinahsalonga link.springer.com/article/10.100…?

In our newest publication in GFS, using survey data from over 8000 consumers in 5 LMICs, we find that pesticide residue is a major food safety concern for FV market. Pesticide risk reduction is key to stimulate consumer demand for FV in the Global South. urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F…

Using panel data from 5 African countries, we find that animal-sourced foods reduced child stunting by ~7%. This a must-read for #FAO, #UNICEF, #WFP, #WHO, #GAIN, etc. In PNAS: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2….

With representative panel data frm five countries we show that animal-sourced foods (ASF) help improve child nutrition in Africa. Reduction of ASF is important where consumption is high, but we need to differentiate between rich & poor. Congrats, Makaiko G. Khonje doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Why do farmers wait so long before adopting agroforestry in Malawi? Landowners take up to 4 years. What can help shorten the adoption lag? Robertson RB Khataza and co-authors show in their recent Agroforestry Systems article. doi.org/10.1007/s10457…. Luanar CIFOR-ICRAF World Agroforestry

With panel data from 6 African countries we show that increasing local & regional production diversity is more promising to improve diets than increasing diversity on each single farm. Markets matter more for diet diversity than own-farm production. doi.org/10.1038/s43016…

Starting the year on a high! Our paper is out in Agricultural Economics. doi.org/10.1111/agec.1…
