The Feed Assessment Tool (FEAST) is a research for action tool that asses the availability and utilisation of local feed resources with the aim of creating context specific feed interventions. It is a tool that is more inclined towards pushing for participatory methods in agricultural research for development, while incorporating the increased use of technology in the developing world.

Specifically, the study assessed 1) the effect of WorldFish interventions on gender-equal access and
control over resources, technology, and information among smallholder farmers, including
productivity, and food security, 2) the effect of WorldFish projects on climate resilience among
smallholder fish farmers, and 3) the impact of WorldFish projects on gender equality and women’s
empowerment in aquaculture. To achieve the third (impact) objective, the evaluation tested the

This paper combines panel data from nationally representative household-level surveys in Nigeria with long-term satellite-based spatial data on temperature and precipitation using geo-referenced information related to households. It aims to quantify the impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity, income shares, crop mix, and input use decisions. We measure climate change in harmful degree days, growing degree days, and changes in precipitation using long-term (30 year) changes in temperature and precipitation anomalies during the crop calendars.
