Abstract:

This review of 45 documents demonstrates the massive evidence gap in gender relations in Afghanistan agriculture. Women face greater constraints than men in generating an income from agriculture, especially if single, but how this has changed over time and many other assumptions require empirical study. Furthermore, how to empower women economically in a patriarchal society is unclear, but the literature suggests that masculinity studies may present some answers. The review highlights the methodological challenges associated with conducting gender sensitive research in Afghanistan and the way misunderstood gender relations create further development challenges. Many questions remain about the role of agriculture in Afghanistan livelihoods and how this shapes, and is shaped by, gender relationships. Moreover, what an agenda for women’s empowerment should look like in Afghanistan’s rural farming communities remains unclear from the review. Empowering women in Afghan’s agriculture sector requires considerable experimentation, more data and contextually relevant, carefully designed programs. The review is relevant to development practitioners, researchers and agricultural scientists working in Afghanistan.

Abstract:

Afghanistan's food security mainly depends on Pakistan's wheat prospect, circumstances, agriculture policies, and market price dynamics. This study explores the price transmission mechanism of the wheat flour and wheat grain between Pakistan and Afghanistan using monthly price pairs from January 2003 through October 2017. The paper investigates the existing knowledge of how Pakistan’s agricultural policy and wheat market affects the wheat market and food security of Afghanistan. The results confirm that the wheat flour price of Pakistan is found to be driving the price of wheat flour of Afghanistan. This implies that wheat flour price of Pakistan evolves independently, and that wheat flour price of Afghanistan balances any divergence in the long-run relationship between the two markets prices. The policy implication is to eradicate transaction costs as well as procuring timely wheat grain and flour, in order to maintain price stability between Pakistan and Afghanistan wheat markets.

Abstract:

The change in land-use over a certain period of time is inevitable. This paper investigates the issue of land use change on agricultural land that has become a phenomenon affecting the economy and environment in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan. Agriculture is the main economic source of Afghan cities, however, due to rapid population growth, population densification, and inability to apply Kabul city’s master plan and regulations, a large portion of land cover transformed from agricultural areas to unplanned developments and have shifted the function of communities from productive societies into consumer and dependent societies. The study sheds light on Yakatoot as a study farmland area in Kabul city to present an alive example of what is happening in the reality of agricultural land in Kabul. Therefore, approaches for sustainable conversion of agricultural land in Kabul city is a vital quest that needs to be followed seriously. The study illustrates Afghanistan's land laws. It identifies the social, economic and environmental impacts of land-use change. This paper applies qualitative methods, where data and analysis worked by using field surveys, aerial photographs from Google Earth and data collected from CRIDA. It also investigates international experience regarding land-use change and sustainable solutions. Therefore, due to positive implications of urban agriculture practice as a feasible and sustainable approach to tackle the ongoing challenges related to land-use change in Kabul city, this paper suggests inducing this approach in Kabul city’s master plan and other urban initiatives because it will not only lead to environmental protection, but also, it will re-establish economic stability, enhance social welfare, revive city’s historic identity.

Abstract:

Agriculture has been seen as the engine of growth for Afghanistan, but it has failed to deliver. Evidence from a long-term livelihood study points to a rural economy that is driven more by social relations than by market relations. These are underpinned by major land inequality and a distributional economy concerned with survival, given the absence of rural employment.

Abstract:

AbstractKitchen gardens may improve family food security and nutrition. While these gardens are the domain of women in Afghanistan, women face unique challenges accessing training and resources to maximize small-scale agricultural output. The University of Maryland's Women in Agriculture Project builds capacity among female extension educators to work with vulnerable women to implement and maintain kitchen gardens. Extension educators use experiential methods to teach vegetable gardening, apiculture, small-scale poultry production, post-harvest handling and processing, nutrition and marketing through workshops, demonstration gardens and farmer field schools. This paper explores contextual factors related to women's food security and agricultural opportunities, describes key project activities and approaches and discusses project success and challenges, sustainability and implications for future programs.

Abstract:

Poverty is a critical issue that is stagnating the development of Afghanistan. In 2007, more than 42% of the population of the country was reported as being below the poverty line, but until 2014, 78.2% of households even in the urban areas were still dealing with food shortages. The agriculture sector is the backbone of the country’s economy and contributes as the key sector to the revival of the well-being of people in Afghanistan. Rice is the second staple crop after wheat and plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and caloric intake. However, Afghan farmers have suffered from the low quality of grains and yield which has resulted in the serious malnutrition which is occurring in the country. Insufficient breeding techniques for new rice cultivars with high yield and acceptable quality, mismanagement of agronomical practices, and unprogressive milling and processing thus can satisfy only 50% of the country’s demand. Accordingly, Afghanistan has been compelled to import a huge annual amount of milled rice from Pakistan, India, and Iran. Although active efforts have been made by the government, research institutes, and international collaboration on rice research, production, and agricultural credits during the last 10 years, the deficit of milled rice in Afghanistan in 2018 is estimated to be 270,250 metric tons. This paper highlights the current situation of rice production in Afghanistan and suggests solutions for food security and sustainability in rice production to promote farmers’ income, consequently strengthening the country’s economy.

Abstract:

L'Afghanistan est un pays semi-aride et montagneux qui a fait face à trois décennies de conflit. C'est l'un des pays les plus vulnérables au changement climatique car il a une capacité très limitée à faire face aux impacts du changement climatique. Il a également été considéré comme une région qui manque de données à la fois temporellement et spatialement avec une capacité limitée à mesurer les paramètres hydrométéorologiques avec des jauges in situ. L'étude actuelle se concentre sur le bassin de Kaboul qui se trouve dans le quart nord-est de l'Afghanistan. Il représente trente-cinq pour cent de l'approvisionnement en eau de la population et a le taux de croissance de la population le plus rapide du pays. L'objectif principal de cette étude est de comprendre les impacts du changement climatique sur les ressources en eau et l'agriculture. Pour comprendre l'impact sur les ressources en eau, l'évaluation des performances des ensembles de données mondiales / produits télédétectés est étudiée afin de générer des ensembles de données sur les précipitations et la température pour la période de référence des études sur les changements climatiques et le développement du modèle hydrologique. Ensuite, un modèle hydrologique est sélectionné pour comprendre la réponse hydrologique du bassin de Kaboul et les projections futures de la disponibilité de l'eau en utilisant les projections climatiques futures. Pour comprendre l'impact sur l'agriculture, une étude sur la perception des agriculteurs sur le changement climatique et ses impacts sur leur agriculture est entreprise. Deuxièmement, un modèle de culture est utilisé pour évaluer les impacts du changement climatique sur le rendement du blé
Afghanistan is a semi-arid and mountainous country which faced three decades of conflict. It is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change as it has very limited capacity to address the impacts of climate change. It has been also considered as a data-scarce region both temporally and spatially with limited capability to measure hydro-meteorological parameters with in situ gauges. The current study focuses on Kabul basin which lies in the northeast quarter of Afghanistan. It accounts for thirty-five percent of the population’s water supply, and has the fastest population growth rate in the country. The main objective of this study is to understand the impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture. To understand the impact on water resource, first of all, the performance evaluation of global datasets/remote sensed products is investigated in order to generate precipitation and temperature datasets for baseline period of climate change studies and developing hydrological model. Then a hydrological model is selected to understand hydrologic response of the Kabul basin and future projections of water availability using future climate projections. To understand the impact on agriculture, a study on farmers’ perception about climate change and its impacts on their agriculture is undertaken. Secondly, a crop model is used to evaluate the impacts of climate change on wheat yield

Abstract:

Le pays étant ravagé par la guerre l’Afghanistan s’est donné pour objectif de développer son secteur agricole de manière pérenne en s’appuyant sur les structures coopératives. Au terme de cette période de post-conflit le constat est que cet objectif est très partiellement atteint et l’objet de cet écrit et d’envisager intellectuellement les moyens d’inverser cette tendance. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’analyser de manière empirique et théorique le mode de gouvernance des coopératives agricoles afghanes, de comprendre comment est appréhendée la notion de coopérative par les différents acteurs et d’étudier l’impact qu’a pu avoir l’aide étrangère dans ce secteur et dans le contexte de l’agriculture Afghane. Ainsi, des solutions envisageables pour améliorer le mode de gouvernance de ces coopératives pourront être trouvées pour les conforter et éviter la faillite de ces structures. Les principaux axes abordés seront : la détermination de la capacité des coopératives, les exigences nécessaires au niveau de leur gouvernance, les rapports de coopération à développer entre les différents acteurs de la filière et la bonne utilisation des aides étrangères. Sera également abordé l’étude des facteurs susceptibles d’entraver le développement et la pérennité des coopératives mais proposer une stratégie pour renforcer leurs actions en Afghanistan.Le cadre conceptuel de cette thèse est de créer un lien entre les différents acteurs du secteur coopératif afin de définir une démarche collective dans la mise en place d’un mode de gouvernance des coopératives pour les rendre opérationnelles et plus efficaces. Les propositions relatives au renforcement et à la mise en œuvre d’une gouvernance des coopératives s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une nécessité qui demande une reforme institutionnelle et complète du secteur coopératif tout en développant la pertinence de la gouvernance coopérative, cette thèse souligne l’importance de combiner plusieurs facteurs : la théorie de l’action collective, la théorie des parties prenantes, l’économie institutionnelle - tout cela fait partie de l’économie organisationnelle moderne. Quelques observations importantes tirées de l’analyse de différentes données et d’études de cas peuvent être répertoriées dans cinq domaines : premièrement : les coopératives ont une organisation économique spécifique qui allie à la fois les caractéristiques d’une organisation démocratique et celles d’une entreprise commerciale, cette organisation doit être gérée en maintenant un équilibre entre ces caractéristiques. Deuxièmement : L’implication d’un trop grand nombre de ministères voire d’un nombre important de départements d’un même ministère font que les coopératives agricoles afghanes sont marginalisées. Troisièmement : L’institut de formation au sein de la DACD (Direction du Développement des Coopératives Agricoles) une direction du Ministère de l’Agriculture et qui ont la responsabilité des formations n’ont d’autres soutien de leur tutelle que les salaires des professeurs et du personnel et souvent recrutés sans les qualifications, l’expérience et les compétences nécessaires. Cet ensemble de choses affaibli d’autant plus le système. Quatrièmement : alors que l’aide internationale était disponible au début de la nouvelle république au terme des différents conflits et de la guerre civile, l’absence d’un plan bien défini et d’une coordination entre les parties pour son utilisation, cette opportunité a été perdue. Cinquièmement : l’idée de créer des coopératives avec un objet bien défini tel que précisé dans le projet de loi de 2013 ne peut être que difficilement mis en œuvre par une absence d’économies d’échelle et une faiblesse des gammes
Given the fact that the war-ravaged country of Afghanistan has committed itself to sustainable rural and agricultural development through the cooperative route, the present dissertation, seeing lackluster performance of agricultural cooperatives in the post-conflict era, decided to attempt to reverse this trend at least in terms of intellectual discourse. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze, both theoretically and empirically, the condition of governance structure in Afghan agricultural cooperatives, to understand the cooperatives from the viewpoint of their stakeholders and also to study the role of foreign aid into the cooperatives in the current context of Afghan agriculture. Accordingly, attempts are made to achieve a better governance of the Afghan agricultural cooperatives, which will make them robust thus avoiding large-scale failure of such organizations. The core issues addressed are: ascertain suitability of cooperatives, requirements in terms of governance structure, stakeholder cooperation and effective utilization of foreign aid so as to achieve cooperative success, and factors that constrain smooth functioning of agricultural cooperatives and evolving appropriate strategy to strengthen agriculture cooperative in Afghanistan.The conceptual framework of this dissertation hinges on building a bridge between stakeholder cooperation and cooperative governance through a collective action route, so as to make cooperatives operational and effective in reality. So, the essential contribution of this dissertation is to provide this linkage between stakeholder and collective action theories to evolve an appropriate governance structure. The recommendations for strengthening and activating the cooperative governance structure are provided within a framework of demand for and supply of required institutional changes for comprehensive cooperative sector reforms.While elaborating on the relevance of cooperative governance, this dissertation highlights the importance of combining several perspectives: collective action theory, stakeholder theory, institutional economics - all are now-a-days parts of the modern organizational economics. From the analysis of agricultural sector, basic weaknesses in the availability of physical as well as institutional infrastructure comes to the fore, thus necessitating building up of grass root cooperatives becomes the mainstay of the Afghan development strategy in the eyes of the national government as well as its international supporters. A few important observations emanated from analysis of primary and secondary data and case studies can be summarized under 5 broad areas. First, cooperatives being a special type of business organization demanding perfect synchronization between attributes of a democratic association and those of a business enterprise, both these attributes need to be promoted carefully while maintaining the necessary balance. Second, involvement of too many Ministries and even too many Departments within the same Ministry seems to be implicitly pauperizing the Afghan agricultural cooperatives. Third, the Cooperative Institute Department of Directorate of Agriculture Cooperative Development (DACD) being under pressure with no support other than grant of mere salaries to its faculty and staff, who are again recruited often without the necessary qualification, experience and skills, has further weakened the system. Fourth, while foreign aid became absolutely necessary at the beginning of the new Republic after the prolonged Civil War and conflict, in the absence of a well thought out plan and coordination for its use, its full potential is hardly being realized. Fifth, the idea of establishment of single commodity cooperatives favored under the Draft Law of 2013 has a serious limitation in the absence of suitable scale and scope economies

Abstract:

The Soviet Union occupied her southern neighbor Afghanistan on Thursday, December 27, 1979. Soon after the occupation, significant impacts were felt on agriculture and other sectors of the economy. Agriculture was affected in many ways from the integrity of irrigation systems to the cultivation of opium poppies. Agricultural extension, as the main department within the Ministry of Agriculture, was severely affected in terms of programs, organization, personnel, budget, methods, relations with farmers, and transfer of improved technologies. This study was designed to assess the impacts of the occupation and identify recommendations for the future development of the system. A survey design was used. Sixty-two Afghans with detailed knowledge about the Soviet occupation and agriculture participated in the study. The survey included 34 mostly open-ended questions, covering three areas: demographic characteristics of respondents, impacts of the occupation, and prospects for the future of the Agricultural Extension System of Afghanistan. The majority of participants were highly educated and lived in North America after departing Afghanistan. The results also showed that during the occupation many participants were assigned to passive positions or lost their jobs. The occupation affected the attitudes of the farmers, reduced the cultivation of agricultural land, destroyed the infrastructure for delivering agricultural services, altered the types of crops grown and reduced the number of people working in agriculture. Millions of landmines remain a serious threat to those who return to farming. Recommendations are made for the Government, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Higher and Vocational Education, Agricultural Extension System, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), and International Aid Agencies. Agricultural extension rehabilitation should be given high priority to meet the emerging challenges of increasing agricultural production by adopting modern technology, generating suitable marketing channels for surplus agricultural products, providing equal development and working opportunities for Afghan women, protecting natural resources, utilizing professional returnees, and replacing poppy cultivation with regular food crops. Perceptual and structural obstacles may militate against providing proper support for agricultural development in Afghanistan. The overall reconstruction and development of the Afghan Agricultural Extension System is a prerequisite for the future development of the Afghan agriculture sector. Establishing a stable Afghan government and support from the international coalition are essential to rebuilding this important sector of the economy.

Abstract:

There are regions in the world experiencing the energy-food-water nexus problems. These regions tend to have high population density, economy that depends on agriculture and climates with lower annual rainfall that may have been adversely affected by climate change. A case in point is the river basin of the Indus. The Indus River is a large and important river running through four countries in East Asia and South Asia: China, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The region is highly dependent on water for both food and energy. The interlinkage of these three components is the cause for the energy-water-food nexus. The difficulty in effectively managing the use of these resources is their very interdependence. For instance, water availability and policies may influence food production, which is governed by agricultural policies, which will further affect energy production from both water and biofuel sources, which will in turn require the usage of water. The situation is further complicated when climate change is taken into account. On the surface, an increase in temperatures would be devastating during the dry season for a region that uses up to 70% of the total land for agriculture. There are predictions that crop production in the region would decrease; the Threedegreeswarmer organization estimated that crop production in the region could decrease by up to 30% come 2050. Unfortunately, the suspected effects of climate change are more than just changes in temperature, precipitation, monsoon patterns, and drought frequencies. A huge concern is the accelerating melting of glaciers in the Himalayas. Some models predict that a global increase in temperature of just 1°C can decrease glacial volume by 50%. The loss of meltwaters from the Himalayan glaciers during the dry season will be crippling for the Indus River and Valley. In a region where up to 90% of accessible water is used for agriculture, there will be an increased strain on food supply. This will further deteriorate the current situation in the region, where almost half of the world’s hungry and undernourished people reside. While the use of hydropower to generate electricity is already many times lower than the potential use, future scarcity of water will limit the potential ability of hydropower to supply energy to people who already experience less than 50% access to electricity. In the current work, suggestions have been put forward to save the increased glacier melt for current and future use where necessary, improve electricity generation efficiency, use sea water for Rankine power cycle cooling and combined cycle cooling, and increase use desalination for drinking water. Energy conservation practices should also be practiced. All of these suggestions must be considered to address the rising issues in the energy-water-food nexus.
