Effects of simplified information on voluntary adoption of sustainable land management technologies in the Ethiopian highlands
Factors influencing farmers’ willingness to pay for weather-indexed crop insurance policies in rural Ethiopia
Welfare effects of small-scale farmers' participation in apple and mango value chains in Ethiopia
This study examines the effects of participation in the fruit value chain on small-scale farmers' economic welfare in Ethiopia's Upper-Blue Nile Basin, focusing on apple and mango crops. This household economic welfare is measured by the consumption expenditure approach. Primary data were collected from a random sample of 384 households, 211 of which are fruit value chain participants and the rest are non-participants. The endogenous switching re…
Smallholder farmers’ willingness to pay for sustainable land management practices in the Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia
The impacts of Acacia decurrens plantations on livelihoods in rural Ethiopia
This study was undertaken to examine local perceptions of the impacts of small-scale tree plantations, notably of Acacia decurrens (J.C. Wendl.) Willd., in Ethiopia’s Upper Blue Nile Basin. A particular focus of our study was on the different dimensions of livelihood sustainability centering on economic, social, human, physical, and natural capital. The unprecedented expansion of small-scale tree plantations in degraded agricultural land can be a…
The Influence of Income and Livelihood Diversification on Health-Related Quality of Life in Rural Ethiopia
Examining health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a rural setting can be beneficial for improving rural household policies and fostering public health promotion. The objective of this study was to measure the HRQOL and associated socioeconomic characteristics as well as test the reliability of the Amharic version of SF-8 (eight-item short form of HRQOL survey). A cross-sectional study was employed in three agroecologically different sites in ru…
Economic and financial sustainability of an Acacia decurrens-based Taungya system for farmers in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
The use of tree-based fallowing as a sustainable land management system may serve as an important developmental pathway out of poverty across drought-prone watersheds in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia. This study employs a financial analysis technique, the computation of net present values, to explore the financial viability of farmers’ investments in an intercropping farming system known as taungya. The analysis employs scenarios that inclu…
Multidimensional Poverty and Inequality
Applying Ostrom’s institutional analysis and development framework to soil and water conservation activities in north-western Ethiopia
Sustainable land management is of utmost importance in Ethiopia and relies on Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) measures collectively implemented by smallholders through participatory processes. This paper contributes systematic evidence on how SWC strategies are implemented and how participation is operationalized. Drawing upon inductive, qualitative research, we explore the design, implementation and evaluation of SWC activities, as they relate…
