Wästfelt, Anders; Tegenu, Tsegaye; Nielsen, Michael; Malmberg, Bo
Abstract
The results show that it is possible to map socio-spatial distribution of different agricultural and socioeconomic practices on a regional level by combining field observations and spatial contextual information. The empirical findings show local agricultural activity variations in cash crop production and subsistence agriculture in the Sodo district of Ethiopia. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
