ABSTRACT Drip irrigation can be a transformational technology for smallholders in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the diffusion and adoption of drip irrigation remain limited due to the existence of key barriers, and use of drip irrigation has largely been confined to donor- and government-supported irrigation projects. This paper therefore investigates actions to overcome key barriers, with a focus

We first apply a Heckman model to a large household dataset (10,200 observations) from Ghana in order to fit farm and non-farm income and then subsequently estimate a 3-stage least squares model. Consistent with our expectations, we find that income determines real food consumption
