Gendered farmer perceptions towards soil nutrition and willingness to pay for a cafetière-style filter system for in-situ soil testing: evidence from Central Kenya (2024)
Journal Article
Kamau, P., Ndirangu, I., Richardson, S., Pamme, N., & Gitaka, J. (2024). Gendered farmer perceptions towards soil nutrition and willingness to pay for a cafetière-style filter system for in-situ soil testing: evidence from Central Kenya. Heliyon, 10(18), Article e37568. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e37568

Soil nutrition is a key pillar in agricultural productivity. However, point-of-need testing for soil nutrition is not readily available in resource-limited settings such as Kenya. We set out to study the perceived need for soil testing among farmers...

Citizen-led sampling to monitor phosphate levels in freshwater environments using a simple paper microfluidic device (2021)
Journal Article
Richardson, S., Iles, A., Rotchell, J. M., Charlson, T., Hanson, A., Lorch, M., & Pamme, N. (2021). Citizen-led sampling to monitor phosphate levels in freshwater environments using a simple paper microfluidic device. PLoS ONE, 16(12), Article e0260102. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0260102

Contamination of waterways is of increasing concern, with recent studies demonstrating elevated levels of antibiotics, antidepressants, household, agricultural and industrial chemicals in freshwater systems. Thus, there is a growing demand for method... Read More about Citizen-led sampling to monitor phosphate levels in freshwater environments using a simple paper microfluidic device.
