This article analyses the effects of non-timber forest products (NTFP) on food security in Burkina Faso. For this purpose, a composite index (Composite Food Security Indicator Approach) was calculated using primary data collected from 384 randomly selected households.
The paper investigates how agricultural trade credit (ATC) extended to smallholder cereal farmers leads to an (in)efficient agricultural marketing systems for farm produce in Ghana.
This study employed a multinomial probit model to examine the effects of involving women in household farming decisions on the adoption of maize-legume intercropping (MLI) by using 5,689 farming households from the Tanzania National Panel Surveys.
This study examines the adoption of a bundle comprising crop rotation, minimum/zero tillage and residue retention among 582 maize-producing households in Mungwi and Senanga, Zambia.
This study uses the censored quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) to estimate Marshallian own- and cross-price elasticities for six food groups.
This research analyses the determinants of the adoption of SAP and their individual and combined effects on household food security.

This study investigates the impacts of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) services on farmers’ resilience in the Gubalafto district of Ethiopia.
The paper investigates how agricultural trade credit (ATC) extended to smallholder cereal farmers leads to an (in)efficient agricultural marketing systems for farm produce in Ghana.
This study used panel data from the 2016 and 2019 waves of the Malawi Integrated Household Survey to examine the impact of credit access on smallholder farmers’ maize productivity and household food security.
This research analyses the determinants of the adoption of SAP and their individual and combined effects on household food security.
This study examines determinants of food loss and waste behaviour among farming households in western Nigeria
This article analyses the effects of non-timber forest products (NTFP) on food security in Burkina Faso. For this purpose, a composite index (Composite Food Security Indicator Approach) was calculated using primary data collected from 384 randomly selected households.

The objective of this research was to assess the effects of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) on food consumption expenditure by agricultural households in the southwestern region of Burkina Faso.
This study examines how climate variability affects agricultural productivity and economic growth in Nigeria using time-series data from 1960 to 2024.
The underutilisation of coconut and its by-products imply poor livelihoods and, ultimately food insecurity for farmers growing coconut. Sustainable practices like a circular economy (CE) need to be promoted for uptake by the farmers to achieve sustainable development through better utilisation of coconuts and their by-products.
Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of the present time, with far-reaching implications for global economies and human socioeconomic well-being.
Bien que l’économie africaine en général et celle de l’Afrique de l’ouest en particulier demeure fortement dépendante du secteur agricole, ce dernier s’avère être le moins productif parmi les trois grands secteurs considérés de l’économie, notamment le secteur agricole, industriel et des services.
Rural areas across the developing countries in every region of the world lag behind their urban counterparts in many important sectors and, most importantly, in improved water supply services.

Low agricultural commercialisation due to low productivity and a lack of access to and use of improved seeds are common features of smallholders in the Ethiopian highlands. Seed-producer cooperatives (SPCs) were established and strengthened in these highlands to facilitate smallholders’ access to improved seed.
This study examined the effect of collective marketing on mango income for 226 smallholder farmers in Mwala sub-county. The study employed an endogenous switching regression model to account for selection bias from observed and unobserved farmer attributes.
This study employs a binary probit model on a sample of 319 smallholder farmers in Thulamela and Collins Chabane municipalities to examine their willingness to pay for agricultural extension services.
Soil acidity is a major constraint to crop production in tropical regions. Although agricultural lime is one option to remediate acid soils, there is limited information on the potential returns on investments to liming by smallholders.
Farmer–herder conflicts deepen the incidence of poverty and worsen the wellbeing of both farming and herding households in Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to cope with the effects of conflict on their livelihoods, households adopt various adaptation strategies.
The literature on what drives crop failure and crop abandonment is scant. This paper explores the interplay between risk factors and crop abandonment. We examine the role of risk sources and risk management strategies in crop abandonment by smallholder maize farmers in Zambia.
