SIPs impacts on reducing crop failure and cost of risk

(Malawi)

Source: Kassie et al. (2015), Journal of agricultural Economics

• SIPs reduce cost of risk but higher reduction achieved when they are adopted jointly (Malawi)

• SIPs avoid the traditional high-risk, high-return (low-risk, low return) tradeoff
