Supporting evidence — 3 representative gaps

• Distributional Effects of Agricultural Infrastructure in Developing Countries: Large Irrigation Dams and Drought Mitigation in Nigeria (2017) · ˜The œJournal of developing areas · cited 4× · doi

  Despite the past investments and continued interests in public infrastructure like large irrigation dams, there has been limited evidence for their effects on household level consumptions and agricultural production, and how these effects are spatially distributed, depending on the locations of households in relations to the dams.

• Solar energy transitions on agricultural land: soil health impacts from site construction and on-site sheep grazing (2026) · Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems · doi

  While this may indeed be true, relatively little is known of the ecological effects of utility-scale solar development and land use, particularly those that pertain to future or concurrent agricultural uses.

• Impact of irrigation participation on households food security in a rural area of Ethiopia: application of propensity score matching (PSM) method for causal inference (2024) · Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems · cited 12× · doi

  There is not enough information available in the research area about how irrigation affects household income or expenditure and food security. The relationship between irrigation and food security is not well understood.
