In Ethiopia, the Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) provides support for chronically food-insecure households, aiming to stabilize their consumption patterns. Therefore, this study examines the coping strategies employed by PSNP beneficiaries, graduates and non-beneficiaries in response to food insecurity and its associated factors. Data were collected from 396 sample households using a structured questionnaire. To analyze determinants of extent and choice of household coping strategies, Tobit, Zero-truncated Poisson regression and multivariate probit models were employed. The Coping Strategy Index was used to measure the household coping strategies. The study found that more than half of beneficiary and graduated households relied on less preferred food, limiting portion size at mealtimes, and reducing the number of meals in a day as coping strategy. PSNP participation had mixed effects on the extent and choice of household coping strategies. While PSNP had no significant effect on the extent and choice of beneficiary's food based coping strategies, graduated households employed fewer and more moderate food-based coping strategies and were less likely to adopt skipping meal the whole day as coping strategy. Moreover, wealth status, livestock ownership, dependency ratio, household size, frequency of health facility visits due to illness, education and drought were also significantly influenced the extent and choice of household coping strategies. Hence, this study highlights the need for strengthening PSNP, providing post-graduation support, building household assets, improving access to health services and education, and adopting drought adaptation strategies for households to better cope with food insecurity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 101627"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The occurrence of CI in citrus reduces fruit quality and shelf-life, leading to market rejection. The susceptibility of citrus to CI during prolonged storage period depends on the differences in pre-harvest factors. However, the impact of pre-harvest variability on the postharvest occurrence of CI for citrus remains largely unknown. To address this, the impact of the variability in production area, cultivar, orchards and fruit harvest maturity on CI of citrus was investigated over two growing seasons. Four main citrus production regions in South Africa were considered, namely, Citrusdal, Nelspruit, Letsitele and Sundays River Valley (SRV). Five cultivars representing the main citrus subgroups were selected; ‘Turkey’ and ‘Midknight’ Valencia oranges, ‘Nova’ and ‘Nadorcott’ mandarins, and ‘Star Ruby’ grapefruit. For the variability in harvest maturity, fruit were harvested with two week harvest intervals from 8 weeks before commercial harvest until 6 weeks after. Our result revealed that differences in production area, cultivar, orchards, and fruit maturity have a significant impact on CI susceptibility. However, among these factors, orchard variability had the lowest impact on CI susceptibility, while the regional weather variability between production areas had the most significant impact. Fruit from the SRV, a coastal region, showed the highest risk of CI for all cultivars. They were up to 70 % more susceptible than those from Citrusdal, Nelspruit, and Letsitele. The CI susceptibility of ‘Turkey’ and ‘Midknight’ Valencias is ∼60 % more than those of mandarins and grapefruit. Fruit harvested early in the season (e.g., 8 weeks before commercial harvest) have a very high risk of CI, while those at the commercial maturity stage will have the highest CI tolerance. This study provides insight into which major pre-harvest factors affect the quality of citrus postharvest.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34393,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture and Food Research","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 101624"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While row crops predominate, around 1.3 million hectares (ha) of land in the EU are dedicated to orchard fruit trees. Italy is second only to Spain in total citrus production area (about 22 %) with revenues of more than half a billion dollars and a planting area of nearly 90,000 ha in Sicily alone, the main orange-producing area in Italy, accounting for approximately 63 % of the total production of the country. Despite their environmental and economic importance, soil carbon studies in these systems are extremely rare. In our 13-year study, we compared the carbon balance (CB) of orange groves that were managed using either conventional (CON) or regenerative (REG) practices. We adopted the SALUS-crop model to determine soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and the Carbon Footprint (CF) methodology set by ISO standards to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CB in the CON groves was 5.44 Mg CO<sub>2</sub>-eq ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> (SOC sequestration lower than GHG emissions) while in the REG groves it was −0.61 Mg CO<sub>2</sub>-eq ha<sup>−1</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> (SOC sequestration greater than GHG emissions).

To understand factors leading to low adoption of Agrobiologicals in Kenya, we performed a Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) analysis among smallholder farmers in three counties in Kenya regarding agrobiologicals. 275 farmers were interviewed in Kajiado, Kiambu and Machakos counties. The farmers’ knowledge on agrobiologicals was low and varied across the counties; 18–47 % of respondents were deemed knowledgeable. The main source of knowledge was neighbours (32–57 % depending on the county). Regarding the information flow, agro-dealers were the main source of information for agricultural inputs in general. More than 70 % of the farmers were not trained in employing agrobiologicals, and 70 % of the farmers stated that agrobiologicals are not effective. Still, between 46 % (Kajiado) and 18 % (Machakos) used agrobiologicals in their farming practices. The number of years in farming positively correlated with knowledge of agrobiologicals, but not attitude and practice. Possibly, the low knowledge regarding agrobiologicals influenced attitude and practice; however perceived sufficient knowledge of agrobiologicals did not translate into an increased use, indicating that knowledge alone is not sufficient to ensure use among smallholder farmers.
