Consumer behaviour and edible insect snacks in East Africa
Purpose We investigate consumer behaviour toward sustainable insect-based foods in East Africa, with a specific focus on grasshopper and cricket snacks in Uganda and Kenya. Notably, we examine the intention–behaviour gap, exploring the factors that contribute to discrepancies between consumers’ stated intentions and their actual consumption behaviour. We further evaluate the influence of attitude, perceived norms and perceived behavioural control…
Power from below
Subordinate inclusion is integral to global value chains (GVCs), underpinning broader dynamics of uneven development. This paper presents a theoretically grounded conceptual framework to examine how small-scale farmers in the global south navigate and challenge subordinate inclusion through power from below. It synthesizes insights from the literatures on power in GVCs, the power resources approach, and critical agrarian studies to recast GVCs as…
Unraveling Complex Impacts Pathways of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive in Global Textile Value Chains
Through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the European Commission targets sustainable products and value chains to curb environmental and social problems. Based on a combination of a complex systems lens and the global value chain and global governance approaches, the paper uses literature analysis and expert interviews, evaluated through qualitative content and causal loop…

Gender gaps in the collection and marketing of an underutilized plant species – Baobab in Malawi
Livelihood strategies, baobab income and income inequality
This paper analyses the relationship between livelihood strategies, baobab income, and income inequality in rural Sudan. Baobab is an emerging commercial crop with emerging specialised value chains in Kenya and Malawi. In Sudan, baobab traditionally has been used with limited research on evolving business opportunities and associated implications for rural development. The study utilizes survey data from 374 randomly sampled households from two s…
Impact of collective action on household welfare
Empirical studies show that smallholder farmers can benefit from collective action by improving their crop production and access to better markets. Although there are numerous studies on the effects of collective action on production and marketing of staple crops, such studies, particularly on the analysis of gender and collective action, are scarce for underutilized crops such as baobab. To address this gap, we estimate the impacts of cooperativ…
The backbone of agrifood value chain resilience
Given the accelerated global shifts and disruptions to agrifood value chains, an approach is required that reveals multiple drivers, recognizable patterns, and behaviors that can be understood and navigated towards value chain resilience. This research shares roots with and builds further on resilience approaches, the concept of upgrading in global value chains and innovation to contribute to the study of agrifood value chain resilience. The anal…
Contemporary narratives about asymmetries in responsibility in global agri-food value chains
Global concerns over environmental and social issues in agrifood value chains have increased and are reflected in a number of voluntary sustainability standards and regulatory initiatives. However, these initiatives are often based on poor knowledge of production realities, creating a disconnect between producing and consuming countries. Through narrative analysis, this paper reveals asymmetries in the responsibilities of the various actors parti…
