Motofish and Trashfish: Food values and rifts at the agrarian frontier
At the resource frontier of Prey Lang Forest in Cambodia, a new food regime marks multiple rifts in the social fabric. As the forest gives way to rural road development, migrant incursions, and cash cropping, long-term residents lament the paucity of available food. At the same time, new migrants suggest that there is now more food than ever. Based on how food is defined, we find one food, motofish, that emerged as a significant semiotic sign. It…
Impact of conflict on sustainable agricultural practices and transitions in Cambodia
Cambodian social and economic systems are in an era of transformation as the nation transitions from its history of war and tragedy into a future shaped by more democratic institutions and free market policies. During the 1970s, under the Khmer Rouge, the people of Cambodia were forced to live communally and survive through collective agriculture. Starvation, hard labor, knowledge destruction, and summary execution resulted in a nation facing hig…
Barriers of Women in Acquiring Leadership Positions in Agricultural Cooperatives: The Case of Cambodia☆
Gender inequality in agriculture remains a global concern. Cambodia is marked by a lack of women representatives in leadership and decision-making positions at every level, a problem that is clearly seen in agriculture. Previous research suggests a need to focus on financial and time constraints for women in acquiring leadership positions. Therefore, we study the barriers that women face in acquiring and continuing in leadership roles within two …
A spatial analysis of feed conversion ratio: A case study of broiler chickens in Musanze District, Northern Rwanda
The poultry production model is an efficiently intensified small-scale production model. One of the best ways to measure the efficiency of poultry production is the feed conversion ratio (FCR). This study investigated factors that influence the FCR while considering spatial autocorrelations. A random sample of 320 broiler chicken farmers in Musanze district, northern Rwanda was collected and the Spatial Error Model (SEM) was used for analysis. Re…
Attitudes towards and Relationships with Cave-Roosting Bats in Northwest Cambodia
Bat populations are declining worldwide because of anthropogenic activities, including habitat destruction and hunting. Cambodia represents an important case study for studying human-bat interactions, as loss of karst caves and the destruction of forests threaten the stability of bat populations and the ecosystem services they provide. Cambodians rely on bats for tourism revenue, fertilizer from guano, and as a source of protein. However, there i…
The Efficacy of a Program Promoting Rice Self-Sufficiency in Ghana during a Period of Neoliberalism
The number of the world's food insecure rose at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Despite these negative developments, however, a 2010 United Nations report argues that food security could be improved if development efforts are supported by government programs that target smallholder farmers. This report is significant because it challenges the neoliberal perspective, which tends to promote a private-enterprise market syste…
