  • National and voluntary sustainability standards

    Open AccessMuhamad Rifa’i, Charline Depoorter et al.ARTICLEEarth System Governance2026Referências: 24

    Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) are market-based mechanisms promoting sustainability in agri-food value chains. VSS can create challenges related to compliance, market access and acceptance for producers in emerging countries. To address this challenge, some emerging countries have established national sustainability standards (NSS). This paper compares VSS (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and Rainforest Alliance) and NSS (Indonesian …

  • Gendered fertility intentions and child schooling

    Open AccessEva Boonaert, Kaat Van Hoyweghen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Demographic Economics2025

    Fertility decline in human history is a complex enigma. Different triggers have been proposed, among others the increased demand for human capital resulting in parents making a quantity–quality (QQ) trade-off. This is the first study that examines the existence of a QQ trade-off and the possible gender bias by analyzing fertility intentions rather than fertility outcomes. We rely on the unified growth theory to understand the QQ trade-off concept…

  • Global governance through voluntary sustainability standards

    Open AccessA Marx, Charline Depoorter et al.ARTICLEGlobal Policy2024

    Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) are transnational governance instruments that can be leveraged to pursue sustainable development in global value chains. They have proliferated since the 1990s in terms of their number and the share of global production they govern. This paper shares some key insights arising from the considerable body of literature that has analysed the role of these instruments for sustainable production and trade. First…

  • The economic costs of cadmium non‐tariff measures for smallholder cocoa farmers in Ecuador

    Open AccessJosé Luis Vázquez‐deCastro, Eduardo Chávez et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2024

    While there is a growing number of studies on the export‐ and firm‐level implications of non‐tariff measures for developing countries, there is little evidence on the trickle‐down effects on the farm level. In this paper, we analyse the recent regulations of the European Union regarding the maximum allowed cadmium (Cd) contents for cocoa‐derived products. We assess the potential economic costs associated with these Cd regulations for smallholder …

  • African food system and biodiversity mainly affected by urbanization via dietary shifts

    Open AccessKoen De Vos, Charlotte Janssens et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024Citada por: 3Referências: 10

    The rapid urbanization in Africa profoundly affects local food and ecological systems. According to earlier research, urbanization may cause food production and biodiversity losses as agricultural or natural lands are absorbed by expanding cities. Land-use displacement effects may buffer agricultural production losses or may lead to additional biodiversity losses but are often overlooked. Moreover, impacts of dietary changes associated with urban…

  • Intrahousehold Decision Making and Fertility Choices in Rural Senegal and Uganda

    Kaat Van Hoyweghen, Goedele Van Den Broeck et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics2024Referências: 18

    Feminist economic approaches have transformed mainstream economic analysis to better account for intrahousehold decision making. To quantify decision making, studies resort to self-reported survey-based measures, derived from questions directed to household members, or proxy-variable methods. This study uses a choice experiment, a stated preference method, implemented in rural Senegal and Uganda and specifically distinguishes between individual a…

  • Carrots rather than sticks

    Open AccessEva Boonaert, Charline Depoorter et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2024Referências: 24

    Aligned with the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) have gained prominence as market‐based tools for sustainability governance. However, whether VSS improve economic sustainability remains subject to vigorous debate. A major limitation of the evidence base is that it does not systematically examine which VSS design attributes affect their impact. In this study, we develop a conceptual framework disentang…

  • Sustainable maize intensification through site-specific nutrient management advice

    Open AccessMiet Maertens, Oyakhilomen Oyinbo et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2023Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    There is growing evidence on the impacts of site-specific nutrient management (SSNM) from Asia. The evidence for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where SSNM developments are more recent and where conditions concerning soil fertility and fertilizer use differ importantly from those in Asia, is extremely scarce. We evaluate a SSNM advisory tool that allows extension agents to generate fertilizer recommendations tailored to the specific situation of an ind…

  • Relating risk preferences and risk perceptions over different agricultural risk domains

    Open AccessAshenafi Duguma Feyisa, Miet Maertens et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2022Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    Households in developing countries are exposed to various shocks and risks, which leaves them vulnerable as they typically have limited resources to cope with them. Even though a large body of development literature has focused on the role of risk in rural livelihoods, the focus is often on single sources of risk and taking a unidimensional view on risk preference. This paper explores the diversity in risk perception and risk preferences of Ethio…

  • Changing income portfolios and household welfare in rural Uganda

    Moses Kakungulu, Moses Isabirye et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2021

    This paper provides evidence on the heterogeneous welfare implications of rural income portfolios in eastern Uganda. We use household survey data from two-panel rounds, and fixed and random effects estimation and quantile regressions to estimate average and heterogeneous effects. While the literature mostly focuses on either income diversification or participation in non-farm activities, we distinguish between income diversification, using the Si…

  • You Can(’t) Always Get the Job You Want

    Monica Schuster, Liesbet Vranken et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2020

    Employment in high-value agro-export sectors has been recognised to entail the potential to contribute to poverty reduction in rural areas of developing countries. Concerns have yet been raised about the quality of the created employment and worker preferences have often been overlooked in the literature. We use a discrete choice experiment, in which we relate stated and revealed employment preference of agro-industry export workers in Peru. We e…
