Description This synthesis study provides the context and rationale for a set of new empirical studies estimating the adoption of natural resource management (NRM) practices that could have both private economic benefits and public environmental benefits following adoption. The nine case-studies covered here were commissioned by the CGIAR Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) (https://cas.cgiar.org/spia) in 2016, and focus on practices that have been part of the CGIAR research agenda over the past decades and have been the subject of multiple claims in CGIAR annual reports regarding widespread farmer adoption of these innovations. They are: conservation agriculture; alternate wetting and drying; fertilizer micro-dosing; integrated soil fertility management; and agroforestry.

This research was supported by ISPC-SPIA under the grant 'Strengthening Impact Assessment in CGIAR (SIAC) (https://cas.cgiar.org/spia/news/strengthening-impact-assessment-cgiar-siac-2013-2016).'
