Personalized digital extension services and agricultural performance: Evidence from smallholder farmers in India.

PloS one

Rajkhowa P, Qaim M.
PMID: 34710166
PLoS One. 2021 Oct 28;16(10):e0259319. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0259319. eCollection 2021.

Productivity growth in smallholder agriculture is an important driver of rural economic development and poverty reduction. However, smallholder farmers often have limited access to information, which can be a serious constraint for increasing productivity. One potential mechanism to reduce...

Sci Rep. 2020 Feb 07;10(1):2102. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-58518-1.

The benefits of insect pollination to crop yield are used to justify management decisions across agricultural landscapes but current methods for assessing these benefits may underestimate the importance of context. We quantify how the effects of simulated insect pollination...
