Flood-recession cropping in the mid-Zambezi Valley
Flood-based farming systems can contribute significantly to smallholder farmers' food security and household income. The objectives of this study were to assess socio-economic importance of flood-recession cropping (FRC); characterise maize agronomic practices; determine factors that affect selection of crop establishment method; and identify major crop production challenges in the mid-Zambezi Valley. Data were collected through a questionnaire s…
Constrained crop enterprise choices by smallholder farmers in semi-arid Zimbabwe
Smallholder irrigation schemes are critical in sustaining livelihoods of communities in the drier areas of Zimbabwe. The performance of these schemes as food and incomes safety nets has been questionable over recent times. Using a multinomial logit model, the study examines factors affecting smallholder irrigation farmers’ selection of crop enterprises in their crop mix decisions. The paper uses cross-sectional data from 136 small holder irrigati…
Impacts of improved sorghum varieties intensification on household welfare in the mid-Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe
Attaining food and income security is a persistent challenge among small holder farmers of Southern Africa. Improved sorghum varieties are widely regarded as a panacea to extreme poverty. The paper uses endogenous switching regression to determine impacts of improved sorghum varieties intensification on household welfare. Household dietary diversity score and household food insecurity access score were used as outcome variables and proxies for fo…
