Each tool focused on obtaining... |
International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI); University of California, Davis; Nutridemics, 2015, "Sustainability of impact: Dimensions of decline and persistence in adoption of a biofortified crop in Uganda", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/WWBYML, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:s38Kpq7LFwpSDtzGsrPuQg== [fileUNF]
This study examines the sustainability of the impact of a biofortification program that introduced provitamin-A-rich orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OSP) to farming households in Uganda. The crop was introduced in a randomized controlled experiment to test the impact and cost-effectiveness of introducing OSP on crop adoption and dietary intakes of v... |
International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), 2015, "Baseline evaluation of the impact of e-verification on counterfeit agricultural inputs and technology adoption in Uganda", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/AAWFK7, Harvard Dataverse, V1
In Uganda, use of high-quality agricultural inputs like hybrid seed, agrochemicals, and fertilizer is extremely low. This depresses farm incomes and contributes to low agricultural productivity that continues to be hampered by poor agronomic practices, low quality germplasm, declining soil fertility, and losses due to pests, disease, and postharves... |

Sebastian, Kate, 2009, "Agro-ecological Zones of Africa", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HJYYTI, Harvard Dataverse, V2
Agroecological zones (AEZs) are geographical areas exhibiting similar climatic conditions that determine their ability to support rainfed agriculture. At a regional scale, AEZs are influenced by latitude, elevation, and temperature, as well as seasonality, and rainfall amounts and distribution during the growing season. The resulting AEZ classifica... |
