The programme sought to increase food and nutrition security and reduce import bill by increasing sustainable agricultural production. Mixed sentiments and debates have emerged on whether the programme has been effective enough to fulfil its objective. In light of this background, this research sought to assess the effectiveness of Command Agriculture among communal farmers in Murehwa district who have been part of the beneficiaries of the scheme. The research is evaluative in nature as it adopted one of the OECD evaluation criteria of establishing the effectiveness of a programme. The evaluation placed much emphasis on the outcome level results as well as on implementation processes. Key informant interviews, focus group discussions and questionnaires were used in this study. The major finding was that there has only been a marginal improvement in food security and productivity in the beneficiary households. This means that sustainable food access, availability, utilisation and stability, which entails food security, has been low in the district in terms of feeding to the overall objective of the programme. Strict monitoring and evaluation is recommended for programme efficiency and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"37 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140737627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study, therefore, was to establish the sociocultural and economic factors that continue to bar widows from owning land in rural Western Kenya. Methods A cross-sectional study employing qualitative data collection methods was adopted in this study where six widows participated in Case Narratives (CN), and two Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) each with five widows and one FGD comprising eight men were conducted. In addition, six widows were identified from the FGD participants for in-depth interviews (IDIs) and 10 key informant interviews with stakeholders were carried out. Data from the qualitative interviews were transcribed for coding and analysis. The thematic content analysis method was used to identify themes related to sociocultural and economic factors hindering women from land ownership. Results Economic marginalisation, traditional land ownership structures, and practices such as the skewed land inheritance that disfavour women due to the deep-rooted patriarchy, low level of education and lack of awareness of existing land laws were found to be the major hindrances to land ownership by widows. In addition, the tedious process of accessing land documents and widow inheritance is also to blame. Conclusion The study concludes that the existence of a legal regime that accords women and widows the right to own land may not be sufficient in realising the intended gains for women if it is not backed up with an effective implementation and awareness creation on the laws as well as economic empowerment of the widows through targeted social protection schemes.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135350731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also looks at factors behind adoption of high-density techniques as well as the farmers’ perception of the environmental and health impacts of fertilisers and pesticides used in the apple orchards. The study finds that the productivity of apple production, measured by the yield of apple output, is significantly higher under the high-density plantation system compared to the traditional apple cultivation methods. The efficiency of production is also higher under the high-density plantation techniques owing to better technology and more scientific use of inputs such as precision irrigation systems and proper application of fertilizers and pesticides. Results from the NPV and IRR analysis indicate that the high-density technique is financially viable in the long run even in the absence of any assistance from the government. However, it was found that there is low uptake of subsidy scheme because farmers find it difficult to produce revenue records in their own name. The main factors driving adoption of High-Density technology are presence of a progressive farmer in the village or neighbourhood. There is only limited awareness among the farmers about the harmful impacts of chemicals on environment and health. The awareness regarding long-term health implications such as cancer due to pesticide exposure is also very limited.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125928488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thadou tribe has the highest population among all the tribes in Manipur, and their economy has been characterised by jhumming. But in recent times there has been a significant change in the way, these tribes practice their economic activities and livelihoods. The study is based on 15 villages of four different sub-divisions of three hill districts of Manipur where Thadou-Kukis are settled in large numbers. The study seeks to understand the occupational patterns of Thadou-Kuki group and the nature of its agrarian economy using village level data. The study finds that the occupational patterns of this group are changing and they are giving up jhum-based paddy cultivation for other cash crops and non-agricultural sectors. Settled cultivation is practiced widespread but due to the non-application of modern inputs, there has been a huge shortage of rice. Agricultural diversification is taking place in jhum area and there are inter-regional variations in the way the villages practice diversification. Some villages are growing poppy in a large scale and some high-value crops like ginger, king chilly and sesame. The nature of Thadou-Kuki agrarian economy is no more a homogenous one; it is now more of a differentiated agrarian economy. The state of the agrarian economy in the surveyed villages indicates a transitional flux where there is a huge food grain deficit and at the same time diversification is not taking smoothly.","PeriodicalId":118277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Land and Rural Studies","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128728452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
