This study identifies determinants of on-farm diversification using the Agricultural Household Model (AHM) as the theoretical framework. Survey data collected in Bangladesh over June-September 2014 were empirically examined. The Probit model was used to analyse the impact upon on-farm diversification of different household, farm and market characteristics. Data show that the age of the head of the household, farm size, access to credit, technical assistance, regional dummies and access to markets positively influenced the adoption of on-farm diversification. The active participation of women in farming activities was a noteworthy determinant that was found to increase diversification in Bangladesh. The key implication is that addressing these factors in the national agricultural policy of Bangladesh will encourage Bangladeshi farmers to diversify their farming activities. Recommendations for policy guidelines are proposed for consideration.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":"13 1","pages":"294-313"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJARGE.2017.087001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46593669","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 intensive tobacco production in the Lerma Valley, province of Salta, Northern Argentina, was used as a case study. A conceptual framework of 'governance for sustainability' was used to guide the analysis and integrate quantitative and qualitative methodological tools. This conceptual framework includes two phases: (a) a descriptive stage, in which social and cultural aspects are described based on a historical and place-based analysis and the help of a quantitative indicator (virtual water); and (b) a more prescriptive phase where a normative evaluation of water governance is carried out in terms of some sustainability principles. Virtual water of tobacco production, expressed in population equivalents, was estimated to represent about half of the needs of the entire city of Salta (population 535,000). The paper also shows that local water governance ignores some of the social perspectives held by relevant stakeholders. We end by discussing a number of policy alternatives that could help improve the governance and sustainability of the system.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":"13 1","pages":"241-255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47746272","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}

Most of the studies have arrived at that climatic factors have a significant influence on cropped area, production and yield of crops in farming. In India, few studies have estimated the association of climatic and non-climatic factors with cropped area, production and yield during different stages of crop growth. Therefore, the present study assesses the influence of climatic factors on cropped area, production and yield of major cash crops in India. Moreover, it estimates the projected production, yield and cropped area of crops using marginal impact analysis technique. Cobb-Douglas production function model has been applied to state-wise panel data for the period 1971-2013. Empirical results of the study show that cropped area of groundnut and sesame crops have decreased by 13.87% and 23.50% respectively. Production of groundnut and cotton crops have also come down by 9.83% and 41.09% respectively; and yield of potato, groundnut, sesame and cotton crops have subsided by 3.71%, 10.31%, 4.51% and 7.20% respectively due to 1% increase in climatic variables. Consequently, climate change has resulted in reduction in farmer's income, job opportunities for rural labourers and raw materials for agro-based industries in India. It provides several policy suggestions to mitigate the adverse effect of climate change on crop farming.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":"13 1","pages":"175-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45974440","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}

It negatively impacts gender-cadres especially in Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands that occupy 89% (area), 36% (population), 70% (livestock), and 90% (wildlife). Smallholders with limited resources endowments have adopted climate-smart agriculture technologies, which are viewed as a panacea to CC&V in addressing interlinked food-security challenges. This paper reports baseline survey results on 149 randomly selected households in Kalii watershed. Primary and secondary data were collected in March 2015. Data-analyses encompassed regressions, descriptive statistics and gender-analysis. Local perceptions/results revealed precipitations downward-trend and an upward-trend of temperatures, and other elements, and outcomes of CC&V.

Cooking is activity from collecting to preparing food. Cooking competencies reflect the ability of people to provide for their food-based needs. Harapan Rainforest is a restoration forest with limited food resources remaining in it. This study investigated the relationship between cooking behaviour and the associated socio-economic characteristics of three ethnic groups residing in remaining rainforest. The quantitative data were collected from 101 households by using semi-structured questionnaires. This study revealed that cooking frequencies ranged between 1 and 3 times a day and required 0.8 to 1.2 hours per cooking event. There is a similarity of cooking and eating behaviour amongst ethnic groups even though slightly different household incomes exist. Carbohydrate-based food was mostly boiled; protein-based food was often saute/fried, grilled or boiled. Amongst the ethnic groups, the percentage of income allocated to food consumption may not be reflected in different average of cooking times and energy source.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":"13 1","pages":"162-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48977558","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}
