Harnessing Tradition: The Role of Crops in Building Resilience to Climate Change in Ethiopia

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ethiopia’s diverse physiographic landscape, characterized by highlands and the Great Rift Valley, creates unique agroecological conditions essential for crop production. Despite generally lower yields, traditional crops like sorghum, maize, and taro exhibit resilience to changing conditions, making them critical for sustainable agriculture when there ...

Traditional Versus Improved Varieties of Seed: Is There a Trade‐Off Between Productivity and Risk?

Review of Development Economics, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 1921-1939, August 2025.
ABSTRACT We examine how the choice of seed technology—between traditional and improved varieties—impacts crop revenue and the cost of risk in a setting characterized by high uncertainty. The methodological approach combines computation of crop revenue and cost of risk based on moment‐based approximation of a stochastic production function, with a ...
