Advancing methods for measuring agricultural productivity in household surveys
REFNo: SS2185ES
In a world with increasing climate change and intensifying food insecurity, agricultural productivity is central to development. Increasing agricultural productivity requires a detailed understanding of cultivated land and its limitations, and how these shortcomings can be addressed. Towards this end, getting more reliable data on land quality and quantity, two critical elements in agricultural production, is essential for accurately estimating agricultural productivity indicators like crop yield as well as for correctly identifying key agricultural relationships, such as the often-cited inverse land size-productivity relationship. Recent technological advancements both in the areas of in field soil measurement as well as GPS-based area measurement offer promises to this respect. However, there is a need to test and validate some of the most promising methods to assess their cost-effectiveness and potential for scalability in the context of large-scale surveys and vis-à-vis more traditional improved approaches such as the elicitation of subjective and observational information in household level questionnaires.
The primary objectives of this study are:
1. Improve the measurement of agricultural productivity in household surveys
2. Test and validate innovative methods for soil health and land area measurement in the context of household surveys
3. Assess cost-effectiveness of the different methods for scaling up in national surveys
The objectives, methods and relevant literature are presented in the proposal (attached), by domain of research: soil health, land area measurement, and agricultural production measurement.
