RePEAT: Looking Back on 20 Years of Achievements

Abstract

The Research on Poverty, Environment, and Agricultural Technology (RePEAT) project was initiated in 2003 by a small group led by Takashi Yamano, Keijiro Otsuka, and Frank Place. The original focus was to understand how to enhance the income of small farm households in East African countries by increasing crop production combined with improved cattle raising and agroforestry. Until now, the number of contributors and the coverage of this project have been expanding. This chapter summarizes the findings and achievements of the project by reviewing the papers that used RePEAT data. It also discusses the future directions of the project.
