Do outgrower schemes enhance technology adoption and productivity? Evidence from maize farmers in Northern Ghana

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Nucleus outgrower schemes are contractual arrangements where well‐resourced large‐scale farmers (nucleus farmers) are empowered by development support agencies to take charge of smallholder farmers, by providing them with market access and the necessary training on agronomic practices and farm inputs for production.

Analyzing individual rent price ratios in eastern German agricultural land markets: A GAMLSS approach

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the rent price ratio in agricultural land markets, crucial for evaluating market efficiency, policy needs, and farmer decision‐making. Traditionally, the analyses faced challenges due to the absence of concurrent sale and rent data for the same land, potentially leading to biased results.

How Does Cultural and Colonial Heritage Affect Optimal Branding Strategies? Evidence From the Rice Sector in Senegal

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Africa's cultural and colonial heritage has profoundly segmented rice markets. Whereas in ancient centers of rice domestication, consumers maintained preferences for local rice consistent with their cultural heritage, preferences have shifted toward imported Asian rice in coastal areas around seaports, due to prior exposure to colonial import ...

Impact of Urban Expansion on Urban Heat: A Case Study of Greater London

Urban expansion in several cities has been linked with significant impacts on land surface temperature (LST). In this study, we investigate the impacts of urban expansion on Greater London within the last two decades (2000–2022). Landsat TRM and OLI_TIRS imageries for the years (2000, 2013, and 2022) which were obtained from the USGS Earth Explorer’s ...
