Migration and urban food accessibility in Mumbwa, a tertiary city of Zambia
Urbanization is occurring across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), both from migration and natural growth, and often without urban planning, which can hamper the ability of households to obtain affordable, accessible food. Through stratified random sampling, we collected data from 135 households in Mumbwa, Zambia, to examine the relationship between migration and food accessibility in a small tertiary city. We investigate the relationship between socio-e…
The impacts of climate change and urbanization on food retailers in urban sub-Saharan Africa
Smallholder farmers' use of mobile phone services in central Kenya
Information and services delivered through mobile phones, 'm-services', have transformative potential to provide rural African farmers with important agro-meteorological information. However, a greater understanding is needed regarding the types of m-services available to farmers, how farmers access that information, and possible factors affecting m-service use. With a study of smallholder farming communities in central Kenya, we examine factors …
Socioeconomic threats are more salient to farmers than environmental threats
Agricultural decision making and climate uncertainty in developing countries
In situations of uncertainty, people often make decisions with heuristic shortcuts or decision rules, rather than using computational or logical methods such as optimizing their behavior based on specific goals. The high level of uncertainty and complexity involved in adapting to climate change suggests that heuristics would be commonly used in this context rather than more structured decision methods. Through a systematic review of 137 articles,…
A gravity model and network analysis of household food sharing in Zambia
Food sharing is an important part of smallholder food systems and can help households to buffer food security shocks. Household food sharing is the smallest scale food exchange system, yet we do not understand how it compares with food exchange networks at other spatial scales. To this end, we collect information on bilateral household food sharing in two villages in Zambia with approximately 50 households each. We observed seasonal fluctuations …
Informal vendors and food systems planning in an emerging African city
Rapid urban growth is straining infrastructures, economies, and food security of cities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Amid competing issues of sanitation, housing, and unemployment, planning for urban food security receives less attention. Despite the proliferation of supermarkets in SSA, informal food vendors remain crucial sources of food for the majority of households. However, as cities grow and planners try to adapt, these informal vendors ar…
Has the vision of a gender quota rule been realized for community-based water management committees in Kenya
“A 28‐Day Program Ain't Helping the Crack Smoker”—Perceptions of Effective Drug Abuse Prevention Interventions by North Central Florida African Americans Who Use Cocaine
Context: Cocaine is a major problem in the rural South, but knowledge is limited regarding the impact on African American populations. Purpose: This study of 18–39‐year‐old black drug users assessed perceptions of contributing factors to drug use and possible interventions. Methods: The study design was qualitative‐descriptive, utilizing 4 focus groups with 5 rural women and 14 small‐city residents. Findings: Some respondents perceived that drug …
