“…This clearly demonstrates that REF linkages, knowledge and adoption of GAP and AMI technologies contribute to higher yields and net income among treated farms, which can ultimately alleviate poverty among treated farms. These findings align with previous studies conducted by Fasakin et al, 2022;Rahman and Connor, 2022;Sadique et al, 2022;Richard et al, 2020;Sseguya et al, 2021.…”

“…Consequently, the farmers' adoption of Bada Mandia had significant positive impact on both yields and net income among the treated farms, compared to untreated farms. This conclusion aligns with the previous studies conducted by Mottaleb et al (2017); Dar et al (2020) and Sadique et al (2022). The ATET results from IPWRA indicate that if farmers in the untreated group were to adopt the Bada Mandia , there would be a potential increase in yield ranging from 745.21 kg/ha to 753.81 kg/ha, and an increase in net income ranging from Rs.11291.37/ha to Rs.11336.34/ha.…”

The present study has analysed the adoption and impact of finger millet landrace, 'Bada Mandia' on yields and net income of smallholders in Koraput district of Odisha using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique. To validate the PSM findings, doubly robust models, viz., Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment (IPWRA) and Augmented Inverse Propensity Weighted (AIPW) estimator were used. A stratified purposive sampling technique was employed to select a representative sample of 100 treated and 250 untreated farmers. The findings from Propensity Score Matching revealed that the mean yield and net income among treated farms are significantly higher than the non-adopter counterparts across different matching algorithms. The results from IPWRA and AIPW also showed a positive and significant impact on the adoption of Bada Mandia on finger millet yield and net income of treated farms. The results further pave the way for future policymaking for increased production and income for the farmers at large from finger millet cultivation in the State.

“…Additionally, we derive a variable that measures each household's share of land area devoted to maize cultivation under CSA practices. This CSA variable can serve as a measure of adoption intensity (Feder et al, 1985; Rahman et al, 2022).…”

Nourishing the farms, nourishing the plates: Association of climate‐smart agricultural practices with household dietary diversity and food security in smallholders

Climate‐smart agricultural (CSA) practices are increasingly being promoted as nature‐based solutions to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farm households amid a sharp increase in climate‐change anomalies. However, the extent to which CSA practices contribute to smallholder food security and dietary diversity remains unclear. In this study, we use panel and nationally representative data from Tanzania to examine the association between two climate‐smart agricultural practices, namely, improved maize varieties and maize‐legume intercropping, and food security in smallholder farm households. We use maize yield per acre, adult‐equivalent food expenditure, and household dietary diversity scores to measure household food security, representing three of the four food security pillars: availability, access, and utilization. We also examine the complementarity and potential advantages of combining improved maize seeds with fertilizers. Using standard panel data estimation approaches, we find a positive association between the adoption of improved maize varieties and maize‐legume intercropping and an increase in food production measured through higher crop productivity. However, we do not find a corresponding improvement in household dietary diversity or increased food expenditure, despite the higher crop production. Several factors might explain this outcome, including the challenges faced by farmers in accessing markets to sell surplus produce, the influence of established dietary habits, gender issues, and other local factors that promote the consumption of cereal‐based foods such as maize. Our findings suggest that CSA practices may help improve food production and availability, but more effort is needed to translate increased food production into improved dietary diversity and better food security among smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa.

The solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) has been used to simulate, design and analyze of MoSe2, an attractive transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) material, based heterojunction solar cells to use it as a potential alternative to conventional absorber layers used in solar cells. The work also focuses on finding optimal absorber, buffer layer thickness and impact of operating temperature on solar cell performance with a possible replacement to toxic CdS buffer layer. It has been obtained that the optimum thickness of MoSe2 absorber layer is 1 µm and buffer layer is about 0.04 µm. The efficiency obtained with CdS based buffer layer solar cell is 20.21%. Among different buffer layers such as In2S3, ZnO, ZnOS and ZnSe, the highest efficiency obtained of MoSe2 based solar cell is 20.58% with ZnO buffer layer. ZnO buffer based solar cell shows a temperature gradient of -0.355%/K compared to -0.347%/K for CdS buffer based solar cell. The findings of this work provide important guidance to fabricate high-efficiency MoSe2 thin film solar cell with non-toxic ZnO as a potential buffer layer.
