We address this knowledge gap using nationally representative, cross-country comparable longitudinal microdata collected from over 16,000 agricultural households in six Sub-Saharan African countries between 2018 and 2024. While overall fertilizer adoption remained relatively stable, we find considerable cross-country heterogeneity and poorer households to be more likely to have discontinued fertilizer use. At the intensive margin, 47% of farmers could not access their desired quantity of fertilizer. On average, these farmers used less than half as much inorganic fertilizer as they desired with affordability being the main constraint. Households adopted a range of coping strategies, some of which may compromise productivity and heighten future vulnerability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"133 ","pages":"Article 102885"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071117","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}

The European Union Green Deal aims to increase organic farmland to 25% and has triggered more discussion about nutrient supply challenges in organic farming, including propositions to allow the use of more recycled phosphorus products. Via a pivotal regulatory shift, struvite was allowed for use in organic farming in 2023 but dynamics involved in adoption of this recycled P product into organic farming are not understood. This study explores the influence of policy, technology, and financial instruments on the availability, accessibility, and adoption of wastewater-based struvite in organic farming.We use a qualitative multi-methods approach and adopt a systems perspective to explore the complex interplay between key sectors and the important variables in the recycled P chain. Our analysis reveals a lack of perceived P supply risk for organic farming in the European Union. Whereas the organic farming regulation is an arbiter for inputs into organic farming, adoption of recycled P products by farmers hinges on rigorous quality assurance and financial accessibility. Moreover, there are opposing views among actors on forms of policy interventions to facilitate availability and adoption of recycled P products in organic farming. However, within existing policy frameworks leverage points are present for strategic pathways to promote recycled P use in organic farming.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 102881"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143886399","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}

We used sensory evaluation and contingent valuation techniques with a sample of 1871 consumers in Nairobi, Kenya to measure the acceptance of two commonly consumed foods (chapati and bread) made from wheat flours blended with up to 20% sorghum, millet, or cassava flour. In blind tasting, bread made of blended flour was slightly less preferred than conventional bread, while chapati products made of wheat and sorghum (10%) or millet (5%) blends were equally valued as chapati made of 100% wheat flour, suggesting the potential to replace up to 10% of wheat flour in chapati without compromising sensory characteristics and consumer acceptance. When informed about the flour composition before tasting, consumers showed a stronger preference for the products made from blended flour and expressed a higher willingness to pay for blend-based products than conventional products.

While the adoption and impact of varieties distributed through conventional formal seed systems have been extensively studied, research on how participation in CSBs relates to farmers’ seed systems and food security is limited. This paper uses survey data covering 688 households and 1600 plots from Northern and Central Malawi, combined with historical climate data, to assess the extent to which farmers are utilizing CSBs as a seed source and the association of farmer participation in CSBs with a range of other foods system variables. We find that CSBs are the source of about 1/3 of the seeds of maize, groundnut, and soyabean used by the participants and that they source less of their seeds from their own harvest compared to non-participants. While the use of CSB seeds of different crops shows mixed associations with yields at the plot-level, we find that CSB participation is positively associated with higher household food security overall. Furthermore, we find a positive association between exposure to high mean temperatures and rainfall shortages and the propensity to participate in CSBs, suggesting CSBs play a role in adaptation. This study thus shows that CSB participation is associated with several positive food system outcomes, but more research is needed to understand the causal links as well as the efficiency of CSBs compared to other approaches to strengthen farmers’ seed security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 102860"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143806964","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}

Although traceability systems are recognized for their potential to mitigate contamination impacts, the economic benefits of such systems remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by evaluating the value of traceability in managing foodborne illness outbreaks using lettuce as a case study. We quantify the economic benefits of lettuce traceability and assess its sensitivity to contamination severity (quantity and virulence of the pathogen), pathogen persistence (survival of the pathogen on produce over time), and illness latency (time from exposure to symptoms of infection). Using an economic model with a pathogen dose–response formulation, we simulate the economic and health impacts of E. coli contamination originating from irrigation water. The results indicate that traceability benefits range from $4 to $91 million per outbreak, depending on shelf life, contamination severity, and latency of illness symptoms. Shorter shelf lives and contamination severity amplify the benefits. Traceability reduces illness by swiftly identifying and removing contaminated produce from the supply chain. The findings highlight the cost-effectiveness of traceability systems, especially for managing frequent or severe outbreaks. The study also demonstrates the contextual sensitivity of tracing benefits that stakeholders, including producers, retailers, and policymakers, should consider. Future studies should consider alternative contexts where benefit and costs may deviate from the estimates in this study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 102855"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143785656","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}

It examines three analytical dimensions: demographic characteristics, state capacities, and family farming features. Using logistic regressions and classification trees, the research finds that municipality density negatively impacts family farm procurement targets, while state capacities have positive effects. Agricultural characteristics such as the proportion of family farming establishments relative to all agricultural establishments, technical assistance, financing, and formalization also play significant roles.
