Agroforestry Adoption and Perceptions in Germany: Evidence from Adopter–Non-Adopter Comparisons and a Discrete Choice Experiment
Economic and environmental impacts of sustainable wheat intensification: Insights from the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains
Sustainable intensification is a promising way to improve agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. However, limited studies to date have focused on its impacts on productivity, profitability, and environmental outcomes. Using survey data from 1179 households in the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains of Nepal and an endogenous switching regression (ESR) model, we assess the impact of zero tillage (ZT) wheat on productivity, cost, prof…
Women’s empowerment and household welfare in the Kenyan African Indigenous Vegetable supply chain
Over the last decade, African Indigenous Vegetables (AIV) value chains have emerged, and production has become increasingly commercialized. Male participation in previously female-dominated AIV production is expected to increase, with serious implications for women’s empowerment. This paper analyzes the current status of smallholder AIV production and income control in Kenya, using ANOVA and descriptive statistics. Furthermore, the research aims …
Insights on household’s resilience to shocks and poverty: Evidence from panel data for two emerging economies in Southeast Asia
Given the importance of understanding the resilience of rural households to shocks and poverty in developing countries, we consider resilience as a capacity and estimate a (latent) variable reflecting household’s resilience capacity, and we investigate how better resilience capacity can help rural households mitigate the negative impacts of shocks and improve their welfare. We use panel data of 3367 households from two emerging economies in South…
Trade‐offs between labour migration and agricultural productivity: Evidence from smallholder wheat systems in Nepal
Rural labour out‐migration has become a major contributor to off‐farm income through remittances and plays a crucial role in supporting the livelihoods of rural households in developing economies. However, research on the simultaneous on‐farm and off‐farm impacts of labour migration is still lacking. This study assesses the impacts of household labour migration on wheat productivity, labour and total costs, profitability and off‐farm income among…
Crop commercialization, structural change and income inequality: Insights from smallholder farmers in rural Southeast Asia
Structural change in agriculture plays an important role in the economic development of developing countries. • Crop commercialization has a positive correlation with the structural change. • An increase in commercialization can reduce income inequality in relative terms. • Policies on facilitating crop commercialization and supporting mechanization are suggested. Structural change in agriculture is an integral part of economic development in dev…
Aspirations, ambitions and the adoption of diverse fruit trees – a case study of the livelihood effects in Kenya
Current food production systems all over the world face numerous challenges. Particularly smallholder farming in sub-Saharan Africa is in substantial need of sustainable solutions. Yet, the adoption of already existing sustainable agricultural practices such as agroforestry often remains low. This paper aims to deepen the understanding of smallholders’ decision-making processes for agroforestry adoption. Using the example of a CIFOR-ICRAF agrofor…
You sleep with your eyes open”: Understanding rural crime and its implications for community well-being
In sub-Saharan Africa, people face significant crime problems. This also applies to rural areas, where mainly livestock and crops are stolen. Using the routine activity approach, this article analyzes the experiences of rural people with property crime, the consequences of victimization and how they react to it. It is based on focus group discussions that were held in Tanzania in spring 2022 with male and female farmers from six villages. The fin…

Natural resource extraction and ethnic inequality in Dak Lak, Vietnam
Natural resource extraction is an important livelihood strategy for poor rural households in developing and emerging countries. Despite the sharp decline in poverty in Vietnam, inequality still exists between the ethnic majority and minority. This paper aims to analyze the impact of natural resource extraction on ethnic inequality. We use panel data from Dak Lak in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition shows that ethn…
Security risks from climate change and environmental degradation: Implications for sustainable land use transformation in the Global South
Climate change and environmental degradation remain the most complex challenges that present and future generations of humankind face and raise several security risks that have received relatively little attention in the literature. This paper aims to review the evidence of security risks arising from these challenges in the Global South and to provide forward-looking perspectives on how to increase the resilience of affected individuals and comm…

Non-farm employment, natural resource extraction, and poverty: Evidence from household data for rural Vietnam
Natural resources are important in sustaining the livelihoods of rural households and the environment. However, over-exploitation is causing an alarming depletion of natural resources in many developing countries. At the same time, rapid economic growth has created non-farm employment opportunities for local people. In this context, examining the interrelationship between non-farm employment and natural resource extraction provides useful informa…

The Effect of Renting in Cropland on Livelihood Choices and Agricultural Commercialization: A Case Study from Rural Vietnam
This paper investigates the role of land rental markets in livelihood choices using data from 792 farming households in rural Vietnam. First, we cluster households according to livelihood strategies and estimate the determinants of the respective decision. In a second step, we analyze the contribution of rented land in linking smallholders to output markets. Our results suggest that rented land can provide smallholders with an opportunity to incr…

Understanding forest users' participation in participatory forest management (PFM): Insights from Mt. Elgon forest ecosystem, Kenya
Participation of local communities in forest management decision-making has been promoted as a mechanism of improving livelihoods and forest conditions, yet the level of participation in many programs remains low. Using data from a cross-sectional survey of 924 forest-dependent households in Western Kenya, we examine the factors that support or constrain forest dependent people's participation in a Participatory Forest Management (PFM) program. W…
Seed Selection Strategies for Information Diffusion in Social Networks: An Agent-Based Model Applied to Rural Zambia
The successful adoption of innovations depends on the provision of adequate information to farmers. In rural areas of developing countries, farmers usually rely on their social networks as an information source. Hence, policy-makers and program-implementers can benefit from social di usion processes to e ectively disseminate information. This study aims to identify the set of farmers who initially obtain information ('seeds') that optimises di us…
