Effects of the 2014 Ukrainian land decentralization reform on land rental auction performance
Ukraine has 10.4 million hectares of public farmland, which surpasses most European countries’ total farmland. A significant portion of that is allocated to private producers through farmland rental auctions. The country’s land decentralization reform of 2014 gradually transferred the management of more than four million hectares from the central governmental agency to local communities governed by local councils. Consequently, both the central a…
The role of forest user group membership in the extraction of teak forest resources for smallholder cattle farming
Sustainable forest management in South-East Asia is challenged by smallholder livestock husbandry as farmers supplement insufficient on-farm forage with resources extracted from forests. This study assesses which determinants affect forest resource extraction by investigating teak forest usage by Indonesian cattle farmers. Based on a survey of 600 smallholders, we provide an overview of which resources are extracted, assess the factors influencin…

The role of short food supply chains in advancing the global agenda for sustainable food systems transitions
Food systems are experiencing a unique momentum of transformation guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP). The potential of short food supply chains to contribute to this transition both in urban and rural environments has been broadly acknowledged by policymakers and scientists. Yet no exhaustive evidence exists on their capacity to meet the goals declared. This paper categorises the benefi…
An analytical framework for household entitlement assessment in civil war
Amartya Sen, the economist and philosopher, defines entitlement as command over resources that permits a household to have access to essential goods and services to sustain life within legal and established social norms and practices. Entitlement failure occurs when a household's command over all available combinations of resources does not ensure sufficient provisions of food to avoid starvation. This paper provides an overview of the literature…
Using assets as resilience capacities for stabilizing food demand of vulnerable households
In the absence of governmental welfare support, assets have an important role in determining the capacity of vulnerable households of being resilient against economic shocks affecting their food needs. By focusing on the context of Sub-Saharan Africa, this paper analyses household responses in food demand to shocks affecting their food purchases. We analyze the effects of non-agricultural assets, livestock ownership, and crop stocks on stabilizin…
Shock interactions, coping strategy choices and household food security
Agriculture-based livelihoods in developing countries are often challenged by a multitude of unforeseeable shocks, but economic research mostly focuses on single shocks. This paper investigates how climate, health, pest and price shocks individually and in combination relate to farm households’ coping strategy choices. First, we use binary probit models to examine how interactions from coinciding shocks relate to coping strategy choices. Next, we…
Effects of Peer Pressure in Agro-clusters of West Java
Agglomerations of agricultural activity yield a number of institutional and infrastructural benefits for farmers. However, these regional concentrations also increase competition among farmers. We quantify to what extent competitive pressure affects farmers’ behaviour in agro-clusters, by analysing a survey of 1,250 farmers in West Java. We use a conceptual model based on the theory of planned behaviour and a behavioural interaction model. We als…
Economic integration in the Middle East
Violent political conflict results in socioeconomic fragmentation and hampers economic development. In contrast, trade crucially depends on cooperation. The article empirically analyses at the micro-level whether economic interactions affect political attitudes. Trading relations between Israelis and Palestinians are found to be extensive despite the conflict. Education and personal social networks facilitate contacts. Israeli traders do not see …
The Effects of Agro-Clusters on Rural Poverty
Neighbouring economies are likely to influence one another. The concentration of farming activities referred to as an ‘agro-cluster’ generates opportunities for income and employment in a given region and its surrounding area. We analyse the link between poverty rates and agro-clusters by accounting for spatial spillovers. To quantify agroclusters, we employ one input-oriented and one output-oriented measure. Our analysis applies six spatial econ…
