Determinants of households’ willingness to pay for improved teff seed in Yilmana-Dinsa Woreda, Northern Ethiopia
The willingness of farmers to pay for improved teff seed has positive effects on utilization of improved teff which increases agricultural production, productivity rural household income. However, the extent to which the willingness of teff producers to pay for improved teff seed was not studied in the study area. Hence, the primary goal of the study was to examine the willingness to pay for improved teff seed in Yilmana-Dinsa woreda, West Gojjam…
Sustainability of centralized contract farming among tobacco smallholder farmers in Makoni North District, Zimbabwe
The study explores centralized contract farming sustainability among tobacco smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. Despite studies on centralized contract farming to date, little has been theorized with regard to its sustainability. Using mixed-method research, questionnaires, key informant interviews, document review and focus group discussions were employed in gathering data from farmers, Extension Officers and field officers of the contracting firm…
Developing coffee culture among indonesia’s middle-class
The immense development of a worldwide coffee franchise, Starbucks, affects the local community’s coffee culture, particularly the middle class, which characterizes an alternative lifestyle for consumptive and dynamics individuals who love to seek leisure time and a new identity. More than just a process of domestication or creolization, a coffee-producing country such as Indonesia has an element of “soft countering to” Western coffee culture eve…
Crop producers’ technical efficiency and its determinants in Gurage zone, Ethiopia
In this study the technical efficiency of crop-producing households and the factors that influence it are explored, and comparisons are made using rural–urban migration as a comparative measure, in Gurage Zone, Ethiopia. The data were collected from 384 arbitrary picked rural households and analyzed using a stochastic frontier approach. Non-migrant households, migrant-sending households, and total samples had mean technical efficiency of 45.5%, 7…
Analysis of the impact of the networks on the status of the internal resources of the small-scale agro-processors in South Africa
The indicators of the internal resources factors in the small-scale agro-processing in South Africa have a complicated cluster of networks, inventory, and trademarks compared to the commercial agro-processing sector. However, it has been identified that the internal resources endowment of small-scale agro-processors is extremely weak. The study was carried out in the five provinces of South Africa, and the sample size was made up of 503 responden…
Analysis of landslide-induced fatalities and injuries in Bangladesh
Landslides are one of the most substantial damaging and recurrent disasters in the hilly areas of Bangladesh. In the last decades, devastating landslides have repeatedly hit the hilly regions of the country, typically due to climate change along with other anthropogenic causes such as high population density, unplanned land use, and rampant hill cutting. However, there is a lack of an official database to analyze the trends of the landslide disas…
Paddy, rice and food security in Malaysia
Malaysia has focused its self-sufficiency policy on rice and paddy production, which are the country’s primary staple food and food crop. Throughout the Eleventh Malaysian Plan (2016–2020) and National Agro-Food Policy (2011–2020), Malaysia continues its proactive and progressive measures to promote paddy and rice sector development. The impacts of climate change, however, are projected to exacerbate challenges in increasing paddy yields and achi…
Subsistence farmers’ differential vulnerability to drought in Mpumalanga province, South Africa
This paper examines social differences and drought vulnerability among subsistence livestock farmers in Mpakeni, Mpumalanga province, South Africa. This paper asks, how do social differences between households and power relations shape vulnerability to drought? This is against the backdrop that parallel exposure to climatic risks does not translate to similar vulnerability among households residing in the same community. In-depth interviews were …
Factoring water harvesting into climate change adaptation
Climate change in the form of temperature increases and rainfall variability has intensified in the last three decades. Recent studies in Southern Africa (of which Zimbabwe is part) have indicated the extreme vulnerabilities of smallholder farmers to the impact of climate change and recommended that appropriate adaptation measures be put in place. In-field rainwater harvesting is one of the adaptation strategies that has been adopted by some smal…
Sustainable development
Sustainable development (SD) has become a popular catchphrase in contemporary development discourse. However, in spite of its pervasiveness and the massive popularity it has garnered over the years, the concept still seems unclear as many people continue to ask questions about its meaning and history, as well as what it entails and implies for development theory and practice. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the discourse on SD by fu…
