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...
