Intensification and intrahousehold decisions: Fertilizer adoption in Burkina Faso
Highlights Intrahousehold bargaining affects the adoption of fertilizer on farms in West Africa. Overall fertilizer use rates are low for cereals but less so for maize in Burkina Faso. Family members share agricultural inputs, including fertilizer. Bargaining does not achieve efficient fertilizer allocations. Inclusive policy should consider who within the household has access to inputs.
