The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Advances in Meteorology, 2014 Previous water budget studies over Lake Victoria basin have shown that there is near balance between rainfall and evaporation and that the variability of Lake Victoria levels is determined virtually entirely by changes in rainfall since evaporation is ...

Telecommunication microwave links as a source of rainfall information for urban rainfall-runoff modelling [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we investigate potential of commercial microwave links (MWL) to capture the spatio-temporal rainfall dynamics and thus improve rainfall-runoff modelling in urban areas.

Food Prices and Inflation Expectations in New Zealand
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food prices are conspicuous, and spending on food constitutes a considerable share of household expenditure. In this study, we use partially identified Bayesian structural vector autoregression models to analyze the effects of food price shocks on core inflation and 1‐ and 5‐year inflation expectations in New Zealand.

Probabilistic Analysis of Weathered Soil Slope in South Korea
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018 Rainfall is a major trigger of shallow slope failures, and it is necessary to consider the spatial correlation of soil properties for probabilistic analysis of slope stability in heterogeneous soil.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Rainfall variability and rubber production in Nigeria [PDF]
, 2014 The role of rainfall in plant could not be overemphasized because rainfall determines the amount of moisture present in the soil which is ultimately made available to plants.

Rainfall Trends and Variability over Onitsha, Nigeria
Ruhuna Journal of Science, 2018 Analysis of trend and variability in rainfall can provide the necessary information required for water resources planning and management in any geographical setting. Therefore, the present study applied standard tests to investigate rainfall trends and variability using monthly, seasonal and annual series over Onitsha, Nigeria between 1971 and 2008 ...
