Abstract:

The United States is facing a rising average age of principal farm operators and a decline in number of beginning farmers. With numerous barriers and challenges resulting in many farm failures, a majority of beginning farmers are relying on off-farm income to support their households. Decision-making and farm business planning are difficult skills to develop and improve, and the ability to develop a plan to balance on- and off-farm labor could allow farmers to make more profitable decisions. In this study, a General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) is used to develop a labor management plannin

Abstract:

About seventy-seven percent of Zambia’s citizens who are engaged in primary activity in the agriculture sector are poor (Economies, 2017). One of the ways in which the poverty levels can be reduced is by lessening constraints of access to finance in agriculture sector. The implications of the low access to credit in the agriculture sector is reduced productivity, high food insecurity and perpetual poverty particularly in Zambia’s rural areas. Most of the studies conducted focused on identifying factors which limit participation in agriculture finance from the bank’s perspective and not farmers

Abstract:

This study examined intra-household gender inequalities in the cassava value chains in Tanzania with the aim of enabling women to escape poverty and food insecurity through enhanced women empowerment and participation in cassava value chains. This is because women in developing countries are often omitted from key parts of the agricultural value chains. In contrast to global high value chains, traditional food value chains such as cassava and associated gender relations as well as power dynamics within households have received little attention. A reason for this tendency is because much of the

Magister Commercii - MCom<br>Women play an important role in food security. Growing, processing, purchasing, preparing and serving food to their families is a common and distinctive relationship they have to food in most societies in the world. They also play a critical role in food security. Yet, studies show that women are the most vulnerable to household food insecurity. At the heart of women’s differential vulnerability to household food insecurity is their lack of ownership of the means of food production, mainly land. Food is grown on land and access to land for productive purposes

Positive impacts from trade liberalization on the welfare and poverty of farmers are much claimed but little evaluated, particularly for developing countries. Conceptual developments, qualitative analysis of value chains and econometric analysis of multidimensional poverty are combined to frame and estimate the varied impacts of trade liberalization on Vietnam’s rice sector. Investigations provide evidence of incomplete price pass-through, adverse employment channel effects and regional variations. Together these help explain the absence of expected gains for rice farmers and increases in hous

Abstract:

Households in rural Ecuador face several challenges. One of them is the severe deprivation that reaches alarming percentages in the countryside. Unequal distribution and limited assets constrain households from improving their economic conditions. These factors induce households to overexploit natural resources. Poor households engage in a variety of livelihood strategies. Livelihood strategies are characterized by the allocation of assets (natural, physical, financial, public, social and human), income-earning activities (on farm, off farm), and outcomes (food, income, security).

Abstract:

Climate change has become a major concern globally and it clearly exerts a profound influence on the lives of poor rural populations who depend on agriculture for livelihoods.Generally, agriculture is more at risk from weather, pests and diseases than is industry or trade. Furthermore, many farming units are at low levels of development with little technological input in their production systems. This makes them vulnerable to any exposure to climate and environmental variation, given that there is little capacity for the system to adjust to change. Most at risk are the rural poor with low leve
