Impact assessment
2014 - The Royal Society publishing - William Settle, Mohamed Soumare´, Makhfousse Sarr, Mohamed Hama Garba and Anne-Sophie Poisot
We provide results from a study of two separate sectors within the cottongrowing region of southern Mali. In one sector, farmers have engaged in a
farmer field school (FFS) training programme since 2003—the other not.
One goal of the training was the adoption of alternatives to the use of hazardous
insecticides, through integrated [...]

The Impact of participation in Diversity Field Fora on Farmer Management of Millet and Sorghum varieties in Mali
Impact assessment
2010 - African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AfJARE) - Melinda Smale, Lamissa Diakité, Amadou Sidibé, Mikkel Grum, Hannah Jones, Issa Seni Traore and Hamidou Guindo
Malian farmers have been cultivating millet and sorghum for millennia, but they are slow to adopt and develop modern varieties because it is difficult to observe the difference in yields in their fields, given the challenging local growing conditions. Farmer participatory approaches are therefore recommended. This paper applies an instrumental [...]
