Kenya
Farm population from 2012 survey
Sample of 200 households from 10X10 km area
Presented with a choices, would farmers take them up?
Farm population w/base tech & base indicators
(poverty, sustainability)
Sub-populations: non-adopters (base tech & indicators) adopters (improved tech, indicators)
Adoption
Base system:
Improved system:
What is the adoption rate of the technology?
Impact on Returns to farm
Mean Net farm income increases by 25%
What is the impact on poverty?
