By using plot-level panel data among commercial farms Costa Rica, we estimate three pooled ordinary least squares random effects models. We find that give 29-61% The results remain robust even after controlling factor inputs. Notwithstanding larger productivity, demand more labor inorganic fertilizers. While pesticide use may be reduced by hybrid's pest resistance, agroecological approaches nutrient management are still needed improve livelihoods environmental outcomes. Headed towards longer-term studies, our presents first evidence on outside on-farm trials or experimental plots. These suggest potential promoting sustainable agriculture improving livelihood farmers, enhancing their adaptation against decreasing
