    Conservation agriculture and household wellbeing: A non-causal comparison among smallholder farmers in Mozambique
    McNair, William E.; Eash, Neal S.; Lambert, Dayton M.; De La Torre Ugarte, Daniel G.; Wilcox, Michael D.; Thierfelder, Christian (2015)
    This research examines the relationship between household wellbeing and the use of conservation agriculture (CA) by smallholder farmers in Mozambique. Wellbeing indicators are regressed on household demographic attributes, farm management practices, and a variable indicating farmer adoption of CA. Findings suggest that households using CA have higher wellbeing index scores related to farm tool and implement ownership and housing material quality, but lower index scores related to livestock ownership. The findings present an encouraging, baseline picture of the association between the use of CA technologies by farmers in Mozambique and household wellbeing.
