Overview
This project focused on poverty traps and their agroecological consequences and origins to address global constraints that trap poor households in cycles of poverty and vulnerability and that impede the coordinated and sustainable use of environmentally sensitive resources. This project employs a research design intended to capture household and location variation by examining market access and underlying agroecological conditions in Kenya and Madagascar
