Increasing Agricultural Productivity with Targeted Extension and Advisory Services: Lessons from Ugandan Dairy Farming
Recently, the use of improved technologies and increasing technical efficiency have been considered the two major pathways to sustainably increase agricultural productivity. The main aim of this study was to explore which factors might facilitate the designing of more-targeted extension and advisory services ( eas ) that can reduce technical inefficiencies, increase farmers’ knowledge about new agricultural technologies and stimulate their intent…

Tracing the impact of market reform on productivity growth of rice at the farm level in Bangladesh
The paper measures the total factor productivity (TFP), technical change (TC) and technical efficiency change (TEC) in rice production, and traces the impact of market reform policies of the 1990s on these indices at the farm level in Bangladesh using a unique cohort of three-period panel data (1987, 2000 and 2004) of 73 farms by applying stochastic production frontier approach. Results reveal that the TFP index has increased by 27% largely due t…

Scope for introducing payments for ecosystem services as a strategy to reduce deforestation in the Kilombero wetlands catchment area
Payment for Environmental or Ecosystem Services (PES) is among the tools for managing degraded ecosystems and their associated ecological and economic services. Wetlands are an important type of ecosystem, which are highly degradable and accordingly PES become relevant for the sustainable management of wetlands. In Tanzania deforestation in catchment forests has affected many wetlands so much that they cannot adequately contribute to quantity and…
Access to Irrigation Water and Distribution of Water Rights in the Abanico Punata, Bolivia
Peasant communities in the Inter-Andean valleys in Bolivia increasingly face water shortages. Because they depend largely on agriculture, this puts their livelihood security at risk. While the debate over water access mostly focuses on the conflicts between industries or cities and traditional users, there has been little attention for inequality in access caused by traditional common property management. In the light of the trend toward legal re…

The dynamic relationships between world and domestic prices of rice under the regime of agricultural trade liberalization in Bangladesh
The article examines the dynamic relationship between the world and the domestic market price of rice for Bangladesh given agricultural trade liberalization. A Johansen multivariate cointegration test was used, followed by an error correction model. Results show that there exists a long-run unidirectional equilibrium relationship, meaning that the domestic prices adjust to the world prices but not vice versa. Our results highlight the dependence …

Exploring Synergies between Place Branding and Agricultural Landscape Management as a Rural Development Practice
This article explores the synergies between place branding and agricultural landscape management as a rural development practice. We hypothesise that place branding strategy can be used as a process to combat the homogenisation of regions and help to build networks and institutions that strengthen rural development. In order to explore these synergies an extended case study was undertaken in four Belgian regions that display major differences in …
The influence of subjective and objective knowledge on attitude, motivations and consumption of organic food
Purpose Although the organic market has expanded in recent years, it remains small. Some researchers argue that consumers' lack of knowledge concerning organic food is an important factor slowing down growth. This paper aims to focus on the factors influencing objective and subjective knowledge with regard to organic food production and the relationship between both types of knowledge and consumer attitudes and motivations towards organic food an…
Trust and perception related to information about biofuels in Belgium
Public knowledge regarding green energy is limited and there is a perceived lack of information, particularly in the case of biofuels. This study investigates the information seeking behaviour of fuel consumers with regard to biofuels, their preferences for particular elements and channels of information and their trust in information sources. The majority of respondents were interested in many elements of information, and particularly in the tax…

The Relationship between Farm Succession and Farm Assets on Belgian Farms
A major bottleneck in the farm life cycle is intergenerational farm transfer. At the end of the farm life cycle only a limited number of family farms is transferred to the next generation. The average economic farm size increases and this can entail a high financial burden for the successor. This article explores total farm assets as a potential tool to identify farms with a higher probability of transfer. The theory of asset fixity and transacti…

Determinants of the Willingness of Belgian Farmers to Participate in Agri‐environmental Measures
This paper explores the willingness of Belgian farmers to participate in two voluntary agri‐environmental policies. Farmers' contingent behaviour is analysed on the basis of survey data. Derivations based on a conceptual micro‐economic model indicate that decision subject and decision maker characteristics are important for farmers' participation. The model is empirically tested through the specification and estimation of a probit model. Consiste…

New Institutional Arrangements for Rural Development: The Case of Local Woolgrowers' Associations in the Transkei Area, South Africa
Until recently, smallholder farmers in the Transkei area had very limited access to a profitable market outlet for their wool. In response, the South African wool industry built shearing sheds, managed by a local association that sells directly to the brokers. This article investigates the effect of joint wool marketing through the shearing shed on the farmers' revenue from wool. A three-step regression model of the revenue from wool indicates th…

Personal determinants of organic food consumption: A review
Purpose A lot of literature is available that discusses personal determinants of organic food consumption. However different models and determinants are used in the literature. This paper aims to provide an overview, within a framework linking Schwartz' values theory and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Also it seeks to focus on the importance of affective attitude, emotions, personal norm, involvement and uncertainty related to organic foo…
Appropriations du développement durable: Émergences, diffusions, traductions
Le développement durable ne fait désormais plus débat ; en quelques années, il est devenu un nouveau lieu commun des discours des autorités politiques, économiques et morales. Un tel unanimisme recouvre-t-il réellement une même aspiration à créer un développement capable de faire face aux inégalités sociales ou aux crises environnementales ? Les contributions de ce livre évaluent les procédures d'appropriation du développement durable - comment l…
Efficiency analysis of irrigation water demand institutions in Tunisia
Efficiency analysis of irrigation water demand institutions in Tunisia
This PhD dissertation is studying the efficiency of irrigation water management institutions in Tunisia. Our general objective is to show that, not only do the existence and functioning of institutions for water demand management matter, but also their performance and effectiveness. According to this, we sought to prove that by designing and implementing high performing institutions, and by improving the functioning of existing ones, Tunisia can …

The Persistence of Family Farming: A Review of Explanatory Socio-economic and Historical Factors
The family farm is a corner-institute of West European agriculture. This article highlights the main characteristics of the family farm and reviews both the socio-economic and political-institutional arguments used for the persistence of this structure in West European farming. At micro level, the socio-economic rationale behind the family farm states that economies of scale tend to increase the optimal farm size, but that this tendency is partly…
