Abstract:

This study examines the adoption and impact of Conservation agriculture (CA) on maize farming households in Timor-Leste. The study looked at the impact of CA on maize productivity, farmers’ income and labour use. Data were gathered through survey of 465 farmers in two municipalities (Manufahi and Manatuto) in Timor-Leste using random sampling. Results showed that CA adoption has significantly increased maize yield and income than the non-adopters. Labour use was lower, but not significantly.

South Africa and other developing countries are grappling with high levels of poverty as a result of slow to negligible rural development.

Abstract:

Farming households in the Global South are vulnerable to climate change because of their livelihoods’ direct link to the natural environment. Farm households adapt to climate through altering their farming practices and by diversifying their livelihoods through the non-farm sector and migration. However, previous research has suggested that most of these adaptations are incremental, meaning they may not address the root cause of climate change vulnerability in the long term. The aim of this thesis is to assess these claims using the experiences of farm households in Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone,

Abstract:

Women are over-represented among the rural poor in developing countries, and the difficulties they face in raising themselves out of poverty are well established. This thesis examines how gender structures trade in local markets and forms of sociability in rural Ethiopia, using survey data from four rural communities and three local market places. Over 600 male and female farmers were surveyed, and qualitative data from interviews and observations was used to interpret and analyze the results.

Abstract:

It has been well documented that women and children in The Gambia are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition. The combination of heavy labor demands on women and a weaning diet low in calories takes its toll on women and children during the pre-harvest lean season. In 1995, the Small-Scale Sesame Oil Production project introduced an inexpensive, manual technology for edible oil extraction, called the ram press, to women in The Gambia. The overall aim of the project was to improve household nutritional security through the adoption of the ram press by women sesame growers. A 13-month study was

Official statistics suggest that as many as 40 percent to 60 percent of people in South Africa are living in poverty, and the 15 percent poorest are in a desperate struggle for survival.

Abstract:

There are approximately 500 million smallholder farmer households worldwide, at least half of which live in poverty and food insecurity. Scientific research underpins development efforts by providing options for improved varieties, breeds, or practices (termed “interventions”); and by providing analyses of how to increase the adoption and impact of those interventions. One of the most widely used method of data collection to evaluate or predict the impact of interventions is the household survey, but critical evaluations of the effectiveness of household survey data and methodologies are rare.
