Agricultural production, its challenges and state intervention in Botswana: A historical perspective
Botswana, a Global South country, used to have a thriving agricultural sector that contributed the largest share to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at independence in 1966. However, its contribution has fallen sharply to about 2%. This has been attributed to a range of factors, paramount being the discovery and exploitation of diamonds in the post-independence era. Nonetheless, efforts have been made to revive the agricultural sector through var…
The Impact of Gender-Specific Migration and Remittances on Household Poverty Reduction in Lao PDR
Poverty is a longstanding developmental challenge in Lao PDR. Periodic studies suggest that migration and subsequent remittances play a crucial role in households’ livelihoods. This study examines the impact of migration and remittances on household income and poverty incidence in Lao PDR by focusing on gender-specific differences. Using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to control for selection bias, the analysis compares migrant households with n…
Impact of monetary and non-monetary benefits and costs information on youth's preference for labor emigration in Nepal: A vignette experiment
What factors affect the youth's preference for labor emigration is one crucial question that needs to be answered in a remittance-dominated economy like Nepal. To address this question, how do five types of information, i.e., (i) monetary benefits, (ii) non-monetary benefits, (iii) monetary costs, (iv) non-monetary costs, and (v) employment tenure, affect preference for emigration was evaluated employing a vignette experiment with 1549 randomly s…
Intergenerational education effect of child marriage in marginal settlements of Nepal
This paper examines the intergenerational effect of child marriage on education. While most of the literature focuses on child marriage generations, the spillover effects on offspring require close attention to terminate the endless loop of child marriage-related issues. By employing coarsened exact matching (CEM), the authors analyse how child marriage impacts the education of the offspring of child-married mothers in marginal areas in Nepal. Th…
Assessment of flood vulnerability of riverine island community using a composite flood vulnerability index
The devastating impact of flooding is gradually increasing worldwide including riverine islands of Bangladesh due to climate change issue. Riverine islands and coastal communities are the primary victims due to their geographical position. The riverine islands (char) of Bangladesh are frequently flooded, necessitating context-specific flood management policies and actions that require an in-depth investigation of household vulnerability level. Th…
Ecological and ethnobotanical values of weeds found in the spring rice fields in Chitwan, Nepal
Background: The reliance of human beings on plants for different purposes such as medicine, fodder, fuel, and shelter is fading away, primarily, due to increasing dominance of market economy globally in the recent decades. Ethnobotanical study, especially that of weeds, is playing a crucial role in establishing the relationship between weeds and people, thereby documenting important uses of such weeds. Chitwan, located in the central part of Tera…
Determinants of Small-Scale Commercial Vegetable Farming Among Vegetable Growers in Nepal
Various socio-economic factors play important roles in the adoption of commercial vegetable farming. Understanding these factors is crucial in enhancing the existing low rate of vegetable commercialization in Nepal, thereby achieving the overall development goal of poverty reduction. This article analyzes the personal, technical, and business factors associated with the adoption using Nepal Vegetable Crops Survey 2009–2010 data. A probit analysis…
Rural household poverty dynamics in the Far-Western Hills of Nepal: Empirical Evidence From Panel Data
An understanding of the dynamics of persistent poverty that is not static, contrary to its portrayal in the literature, is important for policy-makers. We therefore performed multinomial logistic regression and binary logistic regression on panel data to capture rural poverty dynamics in Nepal's Far-Western Hills. The former revealed that the risk of experiencing chronic poverty was significantly higher for households in the more remote village d…
Climate Change, Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods in Developing Countries
This book is about climate change and its relation to agriculture and rural livelihoods. It starts by providing a basic understanding of climate change science followed by the relation of climate change to agriculture, the impact of which is discussed based on the particular impact of climate change on plant and animal physiology. The book further discusses the inclusion of the agriculture sector in various international climate change negotiatio…
