Despite growing enthusiasm about the potential of digital innovations to transform agrifood systems, adoption among smallholder farmers in Africa remains low and heterogeneous
Fisheries for Economic Recovery and Food Security in Yemen
Fisheries in Yemen have suffered from years of conflict, underinvestment, weak regulations, and high fuel prices. Fish production has fallen by an estimated 40 percent from its peak in 2004.

Given rich fish resources in the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea, artisanal fisheries could be a key sector for economic recovery and food security in Southern Yemen, and international development partners and the private sector have recently made large investments in their infrastructure. However, reliable data are lacking on the current status and development potential of artisanal fishing, the efficiency of fish value chains, and consumer demand for fish.

NEW PUBLICATION | Solar powered drip irrigation: Lessons learned from an impact evaluation in Yemen
This policy note summarizes findings from a clustered randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in eastern Yemen to assess the impacts of subsidized solar powered drip irrigation systems on smallholder farmers’ production decisions and household food security
NEW PUBLICATION | Impact evaluation of a solar powered drip irrigation intervention in eastern Yemen
Groundwater irrigation supports agricultural production and local food security in arid regions, however costs and accessibility of fuel for pumping are a challenge in conflict-affected contexts. Solar-powered drip irrigation technology can support smallholder farmers in such settings.
