Abstract

This work reflects many important lessons I have learned from collaborators on various projects in rural Ethiopia, Kenya and Madagascar. In particular, I thank Abdillahi Aboud, Larry Blume, Paul Box, Layne Coppock, Getachew Gebru, Johannes Lehmann, Peter Little, Winnie Luseno, Hussein Mahmoud, Nelson Mango, David Mbugua, John McPeak, Bart Minten, Festus Murithi, Hezron Nyangito, James Nyoro, Willis Oluoch-Kosura, John Omiti, Alice Pell, Max Pfeffer, Frank Place, Jean Claude Randrianarisoa, Jhon Rasambainarivo, Susan Riha and Kevin Smith for all they have taught me. These research collaborations have been made possible by generous funding from the Pastoral Risk Management Project of the Global Livestock Collaborative Research Support Program, funded by the Office of Agriculture and Food Security, Global Bureau, United States Agency for International Development, under grants DAN-1328-G-00-0046-00 and PCE-G-98-00036-00, the Rural Markets, Natural Capital and Dynamic Poverty Traps in East Africa project, funded through USAID grant LAG-A-00-96-90016-00 to the BASIS CRSP, USAID’s Strategies and Analyses for Growth and Access (SAGA) cooperative agreement, number HFM-A-00-01-00132-00, and a biocomplexity research grant from the National Science Foundation. The views expressed here and any remaining errors are the mine alone and do not represent any collaborator, past or present, nor any official agency.
