Livestock supports the livelihoods of around 1 billion people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (Thorne and Conroy 2017, Baltenweck et al. 2020). However, growth and productivity of the livestock sector in many LMICs are not keeping pace with the increasing demand for animal-source foods. Boosting the sector’s productivity is crucial for poverty reduction in LMICs, which […]

The HER+ Sustainable Land Management Study is a randomized controlled trial evaluating a bundled intervention that provides training and inputs (including 4-6 fruit tree seedlings, vegetable seeds, and tools) to encourage extremely poor rural Ethiopian households to adopt three complementary sustainable land management (SLM) practices: fruit tree planting, composting, and home gardening. The baseline survey […]

The Ethiopian economy relies heavily on rainfed agriculture for income generation, export earnings, and rural livelihoods. However, projections from climate scenarios predict high frequency and intense extreme agro-climatic events, posing significant and growing risks to Ethiopia’s agri-food system and overall economy. This study evaluates the economic impacts of recurrent climate shocks on Ethiopia through 2040 […]

Micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in providing both food and employment in many low-income countries—making them a key target for food systems transformation policies. Making such interventions work […]
