Abstract:

When the use of chemical pesticides began to increase, there were several commercially available insecticides that were considered to be highly hazardous pesticides (HHP) to use. Methyl parathion was one of these insecticides. In Zimbabwe, it was decided that the containers of insecticide should have a colour to indicate its toxicity level as defined by the World Health Organisation. Thus, the colour purple indicated an extremely hazardous pesticide (Class I), while the colours red, orange and green indicated Classes II, III and unclassified pesticide. Pesticides with a purple or red label wer

Abstract:

There is a lack of coordinated market linkages to assist the smallholder farmer, especially tomato producers in Zimbabwe. The study's goal was to establish supply chain market linkage strategies for small-holder tomato producers in Zimbabwe using a qualitative approach informed by the interpretivism paradigm. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data from 24 participants, which consisted of smallholder tomato producers, Zimbabwe Farmers Union district managers, and Market Linkage Association of Zimbabwe representatives. Data were analysed using the thematic approach to analysi

Abstract:

This paper offers a nuanced analysis of how sport intersects with race and gender in creating identities in post-colonial Zimbabwe. It traces the biography of Zimbabwe’s most successful Olympian swimmer, Kirsty Coventry, from her success at the 2004 Olympics in Athens to her appointment as the Minister of Sport in 2018. The selective acceptance of Coventry’s whiteness against the backdrop of a general rejection of white identity in Zimbabwe points to a nuanced understanding of race. It suggests that whiteness in Zimbabwe is not inherently incompatible with national identity but is often constr

Abstract:

Developed countries have witnessed agricultural production growth alongside increased global pesticide and fertilizer use. However, Sub-Saharan African nations, including Zimbabwe, face stagnant agricultural productivity, resulting in consistently low output. Over the 2008 to 2018 decade, Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector experienced a decline in its contribution to total output from 19.02% to 5.07%. To realize Zimbabwe’s vision, it is crucial for agriculture to grow and enhance productivity.

Abstract:

Over the last few decades, there has been a growing appreciation of crop varieties developed by local farmers, commonly referred to as farmers’ varieties. These varieties often have attractive characteristics for both producers and consumers, such as adaptability to harsh environmental conditions and high nutritional values. Yet they are usually not sold in formal markets, and tend to be limited to farmers’ seed systems. This is partially due to national seed laws that, in an effort to guarantee good quality seed of uniform and stable varieties, create obstacles for farmers’ varieties to reach

Organizing a viable irrigation system in the context of climate change at the level of Romanian agriculture is a priority. Currently, only 12% of the total agricultural area is irrigated. In order to benefit from irrigation, Romanian farmers must be members of the Organization of the Irrigation Water Users (OUAI), assigned to the area in which they own land or conclude seasonal contracts. A survey addressed to the OUAI in Galati County attempted to identify the relations between the members that can lead to the association not only for irrigation, but also for agricultural activities.

Central Java is included in the top three in national scale rice production. The agricultural sector, especially rice production, is still the mainstay for farmers in Indonesia. The increase in national rice production must be accompanied by an increase in the production of quality rice seeds. In Solo Raya, there is an Association of Seed Producers and Traders or Ikatan Produsen dan Pedagang Benih (IPPB) which consistently produces rice seeds to meet the needs of local and national markets. Community service activities with partners from the Association of Seed Producers and Traders are carrie

This study assesses climate change adaptation strategies employed by community members in Mutoko district of Zimbabwe. Adaptation strategies to climate change are responses to actual or expected climatic stimuli which are meant to moderate harm or exploit associated beneficial opportunities. Rural communities are prone to suffer more from the effects of climate change because they largely depend on natural resources and a subsistence economy for their survival. Hence, knowledge of climate change effects and adaptation strategies will ensure the realization of agenda 2063 and Sustainable Develo

Abstract:

India’s overall ranking on the Global Climate Risk Index has been deteriorating in recent years, making it more vulnerable to climate risks. It has been indicated in the literature that climate change is also associated with agrarian distress. However, empirical analyses are scanty on this, especially in the Indian context. In this analytical exercise, we tried to explore the association between farmers’ suicides and climate change vulnerability across Indian states. Using data from various sources, we arrive at an Agrarian Vulnerability Index and juxtaposed that with farmers’ suicide data bet

Encouraging farmers to self-organize was regarded as a useful tool to enhance the adoption of agricultural product certifications in Taiwan.

Moreover, little is known of how different types of organizational participation could improve the adoption of agricultural product certifications. This study seeks to
