Abstract:
Recent studies have started to show that the benefits of cover crops can cascade to the cash crop growing seasons. However, the impact of cover crops on the subsequent cash crop defense against herbivores is not well understood. To test this, we conducted a field and laboratory study to assess the possible cascading effects of cover crops such as Vigna unguiculata, Sorghum drummondii, Raphanus sativus, and Crotalaria juncea on the subsequent cash crop (Sorghum bicolor) defense against the notorious polyphagous herbivore fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) across three farms in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Our field and laboratory studies showed that the cash crop planted in the cover crop treatment differentially affected S. frugiperda. More specifically, we found that cover crops have positive effects on the growth and development of S. frugiperda on the subsequent cash crop, including both larval and pupal parameters. However, our experiments on physical and chemical defenses in cash crops failed to show any significant differences between cover and control. Collectively, our results add an additional line of evidence on the effects of cover crops on pest dynamics outside the cash crop season, a key consideration for the selection and management of cover crops and cash crops, whose underlying mechanisms need to be examined further.

Abstract:
Zimbabwe has recently experienced a considerable shift towards the production of more cash crops, such as tobacco, at the expense of food crops. Although cash cropping has been associated with increased income, the question is whether the income gained from cash crops would be enough to provide the food needs of farming households. This research was conducted to analyse the impact of cash crops on household food security. A cross-sectional survey consisting of 281 randomly selected smallholder farmers in Shamva District was used for primary data collection. Data were analysed using the Tobit regression model and Propensity score matching (PSM). The household dietary diversity score (HDDS) was used to measure food security. The PSM results showed a positive impact of cash crop production on the HDDS. This could be attributed to the income effect of cash cropping. Furthermore, Tobit regression results showed that cash crop production (p < 0.1), non-farm income (p < 0.01), total arable land (p < 0.05) and access to draft power (p < 0.05) positively influenced household food security. Household size negatively impacted food security (p < 0.05). While the results from this study suggest the need to promote cash crop production, it should not be regarded as the panacea for addressing food insecurity. There is a need for further research to derive optimum combinations of cash and food crops in the crop mixture for smallholder farmers to achieve food security. Furthermore, opportunities for off-farm livelihood options should be developed, since non-farm income had a positive effect on food security.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the optimal cash crop combination at a small-scale cash crop farm in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa in which green maize, cabbages, tomatoes, spinach, mustard, butternut and sweet potatoes are grown. To get optimum farm outputs, decisions on crop combination and operational activities in crop production are crucial. Proper farm planning and resource allocation play a significant role in optimising farm revenues. It was observed that the farmer used traditional methods of allocating resources, which lead to a less profitable crop mix. In view of this, in this study, linear programming model was formulated using data collected from a farm concerning the past crop combinations and allocation of resources in crop planning and production to determine the best crop combination that maximizes net income given limited resources such as land, labour, capital, and others. The simplex method of linear programming works by first locating a feasible solution and then relocating to any vertex of the feasible set that improves the cost function. Eventually, a point is reached beyond which no further movement improves the cost function. The results of the developed linear programming model were compared to past farming practices based on experience, leading to the conclusion that crops and limited resources were not optimally allocated. The results clearly demonstrate the optimal crop combination and allocation of scarce resources that the farm could have considered to yield maximum returns. It is observed that the proposed linear programming model is appropriate for finding the optimal land allocation criteria for the cash crops in the study area. The optimal crop mix from the linear programming two phase simplex method show that the farmer should grow the following crop mix, 1.16 ha of green mealies, 2.64 ha of cabbages, 0.8 ha of tomatoes, 1.2 ha of mustard, 0.4 ha spinach, 0.4 ha of butternut and 0.4 ha of sweet potatoes with the gross income of R 740 800. The linear programming model resulted in a 37.8 percent increase in profit margin. Based on the results obtained from this study, it is recommended that the small-scale cash crop farmer should invest more in producing crops that give maximum profit. MATLAB software was used to determine the optimal values of the decision variables. Key words: Cash crops allocation, crop combination, net income, linear programming (LP), resource allocation.

Abstract:
Habitat manipulation through the incorporation of non-crop plants such as trap crops (to lure pests away from the cash crop) and insectary plants (to provide resources for natural enemies) into agro-ecosystems is an ecological approach to pest management. In a field-scale study, we quantified the effects of integrating the use of trap crops with insectary plants as a novel method to control pest herbivores in an organic cabbage agro-ecosystem. We hypothesized that pests would be concentrated in the trap crop habitat and suppressed by insectary-subsidized natural enemies in situ. We documented arthropod abundance (both adults and immature stages) associated with (1) two insectary plant species (sweet alyssum, Lobularia maritima, and buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum) either alone or in combination; (2) a trap crop mixture of mighty mustard (Brassica juncea), red Russian kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala), and glossy collards (Brassica oleracea var. italica), and (3) cabbage cash crop (Brassica oleracea var. capitata). Trap crops were more attractive to pests than the cash crop. On a per-plant basis, densities of the herbivores Evergestis rimosalis, Trichoplusia ni, and Plutella xylostella were 154, 37, and 161× greater on the kale trap crop than on the cabbage cash crop, and 54, 18, and 89× greater on the collards trap crop than on the cash crop. Insectary plants contributed to the consumption of pests that aggregated on the trap crop. Parasitism of E. rimosalis by the braconid wasp Cotesia orobenae was significantly increased, and the abundance of eggs and larvae of the predatory coccinellid beetle Coleomegilla maculata was greater on the trap crop in the presence of insectary plants compared to trap crops that lacked insectary plants. The ‘Botanical Triad’ of cash crop, trap crop, and insectary plants represents a new type of agro-ecosystem manipulation that integrates ecosystem service providers (e.g., predators and parasitoids) within the cropping system.

Abstract:
Manipulating cover crops as an integrated pest management strategy has recently gained popularity in both traditional and organic agroecosystems. However, little information is available for producers to make informed decisions about cover crop selection, management, and their potential use as a pest management tool. To address this, we conducted a two-year, four-season field experiment on the potential of various cover crops during the summer seasons of both years, followed by monocultures of cash crops during winters. We hypothesized that the cover crop treatments would attract beneficial insects and repel damaging herbivores in a species-specific manner, and the insect community dynamics would be bridged to the cash crops in the subsequent season. In addition, we hypothesized that cash crops would suffer lower herbivory damage following specific cover crop treatments. Our design comprised of three cover crops. Our results indicate that cover crops support beneficial insects during the early summer season, while the time of growing season doesnot affect herbivore abundance. Crop-specific effects were found for herbivore abundance with possible cascading effects on insect community as well as damage levels on the subsequent cash crop, but without any impact on the growth traits of the cash crop. Together, our data suggest that cover crops, when carefully selected, can be an integral part of a pest management strategy for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
Cash crops, which include eucalyptus, play an important role in Thailand in wood utilization. Consequently, cash crops have become a significant driving force in land use changes and low crop yield; thus, the development of an accurate cash crop suitability model is needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the land suitability of cash crops, such as eucalyptus, which is based on Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in Nakhon Ratchasima Province in Thailand. Parametric, classical Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and fuzzy AHP (FAHP) approaches integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are compared to accomplish this. Parametric approaches equally allocate importance to all factors. AHP assigns the distribution of important factors using expert opinions. FAHP accounts for the uncertainty in expert opinions, and the triangular (Tri) and trapezoidal (Tra) approaches are compared. The results demonstrated that Trapezoidal Fuzzy AHP (TraFAHP) could classify and map cash crop suitability with 90.16% accuracy, which is a higher overall accuracy than the other approaches that are based on reference map validation. Therefore, we recommend the TraFAHP method for accurately identifying cash crop suitability.

Abstract:
In the United States, agricultural production using row-crop farming has reduced crop diversity. Repeated growing of the same crop in a field reduces soil productivity and increases pests, disease infestations, and weed growth. These negative effects can be mitigated by rotating cash crops with cover crops. Cover crops can improve soil’s physical, chemical, and biological properties, provide ground cover, and sequester soil carbon. This study examines the economic profitability for a four-year wheat–corn–soybean study with cover crops by conducting a field experiment involving a control (without cover crops) at the Soil Health Farm in Chariton County, MO, USA. Our findings suggested that economic profitability of the cash crop is negatively affected by the cover crop during the first two years but were positive in the fourth year. The rotation with cover crops obtained the same profit as in the control group if revenue from the cash crop increased by 35% or the cost of the cover crop decreased by 26% in the first year, depending on the cost of seeding the cover crop and terminating it. This study provides insights for policymakers on ways to improve the economic efficiency of cost-share conservation programs.

Abstract:
Integrating cover cropping into crop–fallow rotation has been considered a key component of ecological intensification that could mitigate negative productivity and sustainability challenges associated with conventional fallow practices. However, the adoption of cover crops in water-limited environments has been limited by potential soil water and nitrogen (N) costs and resulting yield penalties. We examined the impacts of diverse cover crops on fallow soil water and mineral N dynamics and the legacy impacts on subsequent cash crop productivity and profitability. The cover crops used (forage oat—Avena sativa L. [grass], common vetch—Vicia sativa subsp. sativa L.)/fababean—Vicia faba L. [legume], forage rape—Brassica napus L. [brassica]) differed in functional traits related to growth, phenology, and soil water and N acquisition and use strategies. We found that grass-associated cover crops generally supported higher cash crop grain yield and profit than brassica- or legume-associated cover crops, mainly due to moderate biomass accumulation and water use and persistent groundcover. Cash crop grain yields increased by +19% and +23% following forage oat cover crop, with concomitant gains in gross margins of +96$ ha−1 and +318$ ha−1 for maize and winter wheat compared to conventional fallow. In contrast, maize grain yield following brassica-associated cover crops ranged from +8 to −21% and reduced gross margins by −229 to −686$ ha−1 relative to conventional fallow. Legume- and brassica-associated cover crops had the lowest mungbean and winter wheat grain yield and gross margins compared to conventional fallow and the added stubble. Cash crop yields were related to cover crop biomass production, biomass N accumulation, residue carbon to N ratio, and legacy impacts through effects on soil water availability at cash crop sowing. Given the additional grain yield and gross margin benefits following grass-associated cover crops, they may provide a potential alternative fallow soil water and N management option that could improve crop productivity and cropping system resilience in water-limited environments.

Abstract:

According to earlier research farmer's crop orientation in developing countries mainly depends on farm size, large-scale farmers prefer cash crop while small-scale farmers prefer subsistence crops. The first aim of this study is to see if this hypothesis can be applied on six households in Babati District in rural Tanzania. The second aim is to investigate if other factors than farm size affect crop portfolio choice and the final aim is to see if those crop portfolio models can be improved. A case-study research design and qualitative interviews are used. The primary data is based on a fieldwork that took place from the 18th of February until the 7th of March 2009 in the study area.

From a theoretical perspective the underlying assumptions of the Marcel Fafchamp's model Crop portfolio choice under multivariate risks is discussed in connection to the result of the study.

Interviews were made with six households of different farm size. The result of the study indicates that both small-scale and large-scale farmers are using cash crops. The fact that all crops can be used for selling, gives also small-scale farmers in season with higher prices, an opportunity to sell a large share of their crops. It's thereby not possible to state that large-scale farmers devote a larger share of their land for cash crop than small-scale farmers do.

Abstract:
This study estimated the economic impact of climate change on representative cash crop farms at selected sites in Québec and Ontario over the period 2010 to 2039 using a Mixed Integer Dynamic Linear Programming Model. Five climate scenarios (Hot & Dry, Hot & Humid, Median, Cold & Dry and Cold & Humid) and four weather conditions (the combination of with and without Carbon Dioxide (CO2) enhancement and water limitation) were selected and combined to form 20 different scenarios. Four major cash crops, i.e. corn, soybean, wheat, and barley, were considered using both reference and improved cultivars. Historical data on crop yields were used to validate the Decision Support System for Agro-Technology Transfer (DSSAT) model which was used to project future yields. Economic variables, such as cost of production and crop prices were projected using Monte Carlo simulation with Crystal Ball Predictor. The results indicate that the optimal resource allocation, outputs, net returns, economic vulnerability, and adaptation strategies were dependent on the climate scenarios, weather conditions, types of crop and variety, as well as site. Water accessibility plays an essential role in farm profitability, especially coupled with atmospheric CO2 enhancement. Producers at all sites and scenarios were worse off under unfavorable weather condition when water was limited and CO2 enhancement was absent, especially in Ste-Martine where producers were predicted to have a number of years with successive financial losses. Different climate scenarios also had different impacts on farm management. The representative farm in Ste-Martine performs best under the Hot & Dry scenario if water was adequate, while in North Dundas, the Median or Cold scenarios were preferred. Technological development decreased farm financial vulnerability for all sites and scenarios. Institutional development, in terms of insurance programs and risk management tools, were also used to improve resilience.
Cette recherche mesure les impacts économiques des changements climatiques sur les principales grandes cultures produites au Québec. Pour ce faire, la recherche utilise un modèle d'optimisation linéaire dynamique unitaire mixte sur la période 2010-2039. Cinq scénarios climatiques (chaud et sec, chaud et humide, médian, froid et sec et froid et humides) ont été combinés à quatre conditions atmosphériques (avec et sans augmentation du CO2 et avec et sans diminution de la disponibilité de l'eau) ont été sélectionnés pour créer un total de 20 scénarios possibles. Quatre grandes cultures majeures (Maïs, soya, blé et orge) ont été considérées en utilisant un rendement de référence et un scénario d'amélioration des cultivars. Les données historiques sur le rendement des cultures ont été utilisées pour valider le Système de Support de Décision pour le Transfert Agro-Technologique (SSDTAT) qui estime le rendement futur. Les variables économiques comme le coût de production et le prix des grains ont été basés sur une simulation Monte Carlo avec un prédicteur boule de cristal. Les résultats indiquent que l'allocation optimale des ressources, des produits, des bénéfices nets, de la vulnérabilité et de la stratégie d'adaptation étaient dépendants du scenario de climat, des conditions atmosphériques, du type de cultures, de l'amélioration des variétés ainsi que du site. L'accessibilité de l'eau joue un rôle essentiel sur la profitabilité, tout spécialement lorsqu'elle est combinée à une augmentation du CO2 atmosphérique. Les producteurs de tous les sites et de tous les scénarios étaient désavantagés face à des conditions climatiques défavorables où l'eau était limitée et l'augmentation du CO2 absent. Cette situation s'est avérée très bien représentée au site de Ste-Martine où les estimations concluaient que les producteurs subissaient des pertes financières successives sous ce scénario. Les différents scenarios climatiques peuvent également avoir des impacts différents sur la gestion des entreprisses agricoles. Ainsi, les fermes sondées du site de Ste-Martine ont mieux performé sous le scénario chaud et sec et lorsque l'eau était adéquate. Par contre, le site de Dundas Nord s'est avéré plus productif sous le climat froid ou médian. De plus, l'amélioration technologique, c'est-à-dire l'amélioration des cultivars, peut diminuer la vulnérabilité des entreprises et en augmenter la résilience pour tous les sites, scénarios, conditions climatiques et cultures. Le développement institutionnel comme des programmes d'assurance récolte ou des outils de gestion du risque peuvent également être utilisés pour diminuer la vulnérabilité financière et ainsi augmenter la résilience des fermes sondées.

Full text
Abstract:
The commercialization of agriculture is seen as a cornerstone of processes of development and modernisation and the incorporation of rural farmers into this economy shows their importance as a major pillar in the economy. In Nigeria, cash crop production is highly significant for farmers in terms of raising their income and improving their economic status. It tends to be the case that within Nigerian contexts, broadly speaking, there continues to exist patriarchal forms of social organization and normative gender relations. In Yorubaland, even though the word ‘farmer’ as a term for involvement in agriculture is gender-neutral, the societal job demarcations, coupled with cultural expectations, makes the word ‘farmer’ become synonymous with ‘male’ and women are seen as farmers’ wives. Little attention or recognition is paid to women farmers within agricultural production and their economic contribution to national economies through commercial agriculture, with little or no gender-segregated data on agricultural outputs. This thesis examines the impact of women’s involvement in the commercialization of cash crop production on gender relations at inter and intra household levels, focusing on Yekemi. It examines the effects of men migrating from Yekemi on cash crop production; the phenomenon of a shift in gender roles in the Yekemi community; the causative factors; the reactions of men to the shift; and the future prospects and lessons of the shift. An ethnographic approach was used, involving observations, interviews, visitations, walking the land and focus group discussions to gather detailed data about the change in status quo in gendered power relations. This study reveals the power dynamics associated with female cash crop farmers. It shows that Yekemi, though a traditional rural setting, has overcome some of these traditional gender divisions and gender segregation in agricultural labour. I discovered that women in Yekemi empower themselves through their involvement in agricultural commercialization of cash crop production, which incurs recognition of their status as farmers in the village and ability to exercise agency in decision making within their households. From the findings the thesis concludes that if participation in agricultural commercialization could be responsible for sustained economic independence and shifts in gender power dynamics beyond traditional norms in Yekemi, this could be seen as a critical example for use elsewhere. It could have significant implications for other female farmers and help to develop ways to empower rural women to gain a more visible and recognized foothold within commercial agriculture.

Abstract:
Initiatives to combat global climate change are rapidly increasing. In the United States, this includes the expansion of investment on infrastructure supporting the production renewable fuels such as renewable diesel produced through Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) technology or Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) technologies. Second generation biofuels are preferred because they are produced from dedicated sustainable non-food crops or waste residuals. As a high yielding, high oil content, dedicated non-food crop oilseed, Carinata (Brassica carinata) is well poised to scale alongside the growing need for second generation biofuel feedstocks. Grown in rotations as a high value cover crop, it does not displace land for food production, while at the same time the large taproot and high biomass properties help sequester carbon in the soil. It is a non-GMO crop which allows for flexibility in markets such as the EU which are important in the biofuel industry. Hybrid technology being deployed in the crop is demonstrating significant yield gains which makes growing the crop an increasingly attractive economic option to complement main cash crops for growers. Significant progress is being made towards establishment of Carinata in the Southeast U.S. such as through the USDA-NIFA funded consortium The Southeast Partnership for Advanced Renewables from Carinata (SPARC).

Full text
Abstract:
The University of Minnesota Forever Green Initiative (FGI ) is an agricultural innovation platform developing viable, profitable perennial and winter annual crops and cropping systems that will provide “continuous living cover” on the Upper Midwestern agricultural landscape, which can likely improve climate mitigation and adaptation as well as provide other environmental co-benefits relative to conventional summer annual grain systems. Transdisciplinary FGI crop development research teams span genomics, plant breeding, agronomy, natural resource sciences, food science, social sciences, economics, and commercialization. Several of these crops include "cash cover crop" winter oilseeds such as winter camelina and pennycress, and perennial oilseeds such as perennial flax and silphium, which have diverse opportunities in oil markets. While developing the basic and applied science of these crops and cropping systems, FGI is supporting the commercialization, adoption, and scaling of FGI crops in partnership with researchers, growers, industry, policymakers, and communities. For example, early commercial winter camelina production (relay-cropping) and market interest is developing spanning fuel, feed, biopolymers, and food, largely in response to corporate commitments and consumer demand for sustainability, GHG reduction, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and supply chain resilience. Industry has an essential role to play in developing and scaling FGI crops by supporting basic research, contributing in-house expertise and facilities, and creating the market pull needed to move novel continuous living cover crops and cropping systems out onto the landscape and into the market.

Abstract:
The increase in extreme climate events due to climate change has resulted in crop losses, quality losses, environmental and social impacts in agricultural areas. Insurance against extreme events is a vital tool adaptation to deal with the impacts of those hazards. However, few works consider the optimization of different dimensions related to this tool. This work proposes a framework to use multi-objective optimization models to better design and evaluate crop insurance premiums and conducts a case study for sugarcane premiums at São Paulo state in 2010. The framework can be adopted for different crops, objectives, and models. The case study showed that around 20% of the policies evaluated were efficient solutions from the farmer's point of view.

Abstract:
Agriculture is a source of three primary GHG: CO2, CH4 and N2O. In order to reduce agricultural GHG emissions, agricultural practices have to promote sustainable land management by helping to prevent soil erosion and creating the potential to increase soil carbon stock. Sustainable soil management includes reducing tillage and introducing legumes in crop rotation. The aim of the study is to identify the impacts of the soil tillage and the cultivated crops on formation of GHG emissions. The study site has 24 experimental fields where two types of soil tillage have been used and four crops where grown (wheat Triticum aestivum, rape Brassica napus, beans Vicia faba and barley Hordeum vulgare). Soil humidity, soil temperature and measurements of GHG emissions have been carried out during the plant vegetation period from 2018 to 2020. GHG emissions where measured using Picarro G2508. A total of 460 measurements of GHG emissions were made in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The minimum value of N2O emission is -19.5 g ha-1 day-1, but the maximum is 273.4 g ha-1 day-1. CH4 emission has a minimum value of -84.8 g ha-1 day-1, and a maximum of 514.1 g ha-1 day-1. The minimum value of CO2 emission is -13.0 kg ha-1 day-1, but maximum of 1026.7 kg ha-1 day-1. The results of CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions show a significant discrepancies between the arithmetic mean and the median values which indicates the observed extreme values. Kruskal-Wallis test showed statistically significant differences in GHG emissions by crop groups.

Abstract:
The paper shows possible calculating damage to agriculture resulting from oil and gas industry activities through an assessment of birds valuable for agriculture and electrocuted on oil and gas infrastructure power lines, and through an assessment of agricultural crop volume saved by birds from rodent destruction. During the season, 65 common kestrels may die on the power lines owned by an oil and gas complex. One family of these birds (a pair of adults with chicks) consumes at least 428 rodents during the breeding season. The extermination of a large number of rodents helps to save up to half a ton of grain crops on average.

Abstract:
A new protective curtain system for agricultural disc mowers has been designed and validated through a combination of novel testing methods. In order to understand performance requirements and choose the best solution to the problem, computer modeling, as well as small and full scale prototype testing was conducted. The new curtain system improves upon the current production design by adding a flexible joint between the top of the shroud and the curtain. This results in a reduction of force exerted on the crops by the curtain, the key performance metric for this project. A full scale prototype (P1) was constructed in order to confirm concept functionality, which led to a second generation prototype (P2) made of a heavier weight curtain fabric, in order to meet safety metrics. This new mounting method will improve cutting quality by reducing the force exerted on the crop by the curtain, while still meeting the safety requirements, in addition to providing a superior, more marketable product for Case-New Holland and higher crop yield for the customer.

Abstract:
Precision agriculture is a concept regarding the use of technology to increase production yield while preserving and optimizing resources. One of the means to achieve that goal is to use sensors to monitor crops and adjust the cultivation according to its needs. This paper compares different techniques for sensor data fusion and detection and removal of outliers from gathered data to improve sensors accuracy and to identify possible sensor malfunction. As a case study, we monitored an experimental crop of precocious dwarf cashew using soil moisture sensors. Combining generalized ESD method and a weighted outlierrobust Kalman filter generated the best result, leading to more accurate data.

Abstract:
Across Ghana, mixed-crop-livestock enterprises dominate the farming systems with most farmers producing both food staples and non-food cash crops. However, this paper focuses mainly on oil palm-producing farmers because oil palm is Ghana’s second most important industrial crop (aside from cocoa). However, it has a more extensive local value chain that allows for artisanal processing and thus, has huge potential for rural employment generation and poverty reduction. Oil palm is also one of the priority crops under Ghana’s Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy. This paper reviews the livelihood outcomes with regards to agricultural commercialisation and how this particularly relates to women’s empowerment and rural employment in the oil palm sector in Ghana.

Abstract:
There is a growing body of literature that argues that normally women derive little benefit from cash crops. Some of the barriers leading to women having less benefit from cash crop value chains include cultural norms and power differences in access to, and control over, resources among actors in value chains. It is also argued that women’s participation in different forms of collective action help women to increase benefits to them through their increased agency, hence enabling them to utilise existing and diverse options for their empowerment. This paper explores how women have benefited from their engagement in sunflower commercialisation and how culture has influenced changes in access to, and control over, resources, including land, for their empowerment.

Abstract:
Agricultural transformation towards intensive commercial production is a key facet of current development strategies pursued by African governments, aimed at improving welfare outcomes of farm households. However, in Zimbabwe, there is concern that increased commercialisation, especially through tobacco production, may have resulted in increased food and nutrition insecurity in the smallholder farming sector. Using data from two rounds of surveys conducted in 2018 and 2020 of smallholder farmers, this study examined the impacts of cash crop and food-based commercialisation pathways on seasonal food insecurity in rural households of Mazowe district.
