The results show that the joint adoption of improved seed and inorganic fertilizer is facilitated by household ownership of farm mechanization, years of education of the household heads, presence of a wage worker in the household, access to irrigation facilities, and government extension services. The MESR results show that the adoption of improved seed and inorganic fertilizer, as well as their joint usage, have productivity and welfare-enhancing effects on farming households in rural Zimbabwe. More importantly, we find that while the technologies appear to impact food consumption negatively, households using the technologies jointly in production are more food secure and eat more diverse foods. This implies government efforts to promote the joint adoption of the two technologies in rural Zimbabwe are encouraged.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 102629"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030691922400040X/pdfft?md5=b4be68ec097b5fa8892673937e73db5b&pid=1-s2.0-S030691922400040X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140555771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we consider the economic impacts of such an outbreak in a small (price-taking), open country case. Specifically, we consider a generic disease outbreak in the Canadian pork industry. The economic costs and animal welfare impacts of a disease outbreak in swine could prove devastating to Canada’s pork industry, due to potential border closures and large-scale animal depopulation. We build a multi-region, partial equilibrium trade model composed of three Canadian regions (Ontario, Quebec, and Western Canada), the United States, and the rest of the world. The partial equilibrium model imposes the appropriate zero feedback assumption (across world markets and domestic substitutes). Each Canadian region has a vertically integrated supply chain beginning with the breeding herd, progressing through the live animal market, processors, to end consumers with trade across regions within each of those markets. We estimate the Canadian economic impacts of a disease outbreak occurring in excess of $3.6 billion. The closure of international borders to exports is shown to be the dominant economic impact. Significant producer and processor losses are marginally offset by consumer benefits.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 102624"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140552189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are essential for meeting the global food demand, but their adoption remains slow and low. One reason for this unsuccessful adoption is the disregard of trait preferences and marginalized contexts of diverse users by actors in varietal development and delivery. The general wisdom regarding trait preferences includes gender-distinct priorities, in which men focus on high yield and marketability, while women prefer good taste and other cooking attributes. However, although gender is a first step toward nuanced preferences, most analyses restrict themselves to gender-based comparisons (frequently using the sex of heads of households), which homogenizes socioeconomic conditions and preferences within gender. Using intrahousehold preference data, our study reveals that the intersection between gender and other social categories presents compounded marginalization that corresponds to similarities or differences in women’s and men’s trait preferences. Cluster analysis reveals that trait preferences of women and men overlap but differ in the traits’ relative importance. Trait preferences are comparable in low-wealth clusters as they operate in similar marginalized contexts and diverge in high-wealth clusters. Furthermore, logit regression shows that factors of marginalization, gender roles, and agency are associated with increased odds of prioritizing specific traits, such as market and culinary traits. Our results demonstrate how diversity of marginalization and intersectionality matters more than gender dichotomies. We anticipate that our intersectional approach to understanding gendered trait preferences can enhance targeted, demand-led, and inclusive varietal development and delivery in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 102616"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306919224000277/pdfft?md5=21a0d8026a528ce1b4596b6b2ef6edd2&pid=1-s2.0-S0306919224000277-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140543968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To inform interventions aiming to increase demand for the improved forages such as pricing, we assessed farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for different improved seeds and two types of dried feed in Meru County Kenya. We used a mix of sampling strategies to recruit 356 dairy farmers into the study. We used the Becker-De-Groote Marschak (BDM) mechanism to elicit WTP, and a mixed effects model in the analysis. We find that the WTP for the forage products (except one) was below the market prices, and that the WTP differed significantly between farmers in cooperatives and those that were not. For related varieties, none is significantly superior to other varieties in terms of WTP. We also find that farmers who had prior exposure to the forages, larger farm sizes, mainly practiced zero grazing, and owned the livestock were more likely to bid above the market prices. Our results underscore the need for strategies that can lower the prices of the improved forages such as reducing the costs associated with their production, certification, storage, and transportation. Training farmers especially on the benefits of the improved traits can potentially increase the likelihood of farmers paying premiums for the improved traits, an important ingredient for the commercialization of the improved forage products at scale.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"124 ","pages":"Article 102615"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306919224000265/pdfft?md5=253d1b90919d4bd3b166285038881cda&pid=1-s2.0-S0306919224000265-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140347161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
