Autores: Gurgel, Rosane Fernandes de Sousa; Nunes, Emanoel Márcio; Silva, Vívian Menezes da.
The objective is to analyze characteristic aspects of different structures of Agricultural Extension (ATER), represented by the Institute of Agricultural Extension (EMATER-RN), and by the Dom Helder Câmara Project (PDHC) in agrarian reform settlements in the Territory of Citizenship Sertão do Apodi, in state of the Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The focus group technique was applied, as a qualitative research tool with full commitment to the comprehensive meta-scientific perspective. This is a qualitative research with interviews guided by a semi-structured script with territorial leaders, implementing organizations and direct beneficiaries of ATER actions carried out by EMATER and DHCP. The research results, after analyzing the different structures of ATER,...

Agricultural Extension for the Invisible Actors in Hunger Drama in Rural Nigeria
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Egbuna,   Ngozi.
It is now an undisputable fact that rural women farmers produce more than half of all the food grown in Nigeria. They are mainly responsibility for providing food for their families as they plant, harvest and fish, gather fuel wood, fetch water, cook as well as process and sell foodstuffs. This paper describes them as invisible actors in the hunger drama because though they feed the nation, they have little or no access to factors of production that boost productivity such as extension services. Indeed, while the dominance of women in rural areas are evident, policy makers, planners and extension officials often behave as if women did not exist, as if the situation and needs of all farmers were the same, whether men or women. Agricultural extension is one...

The Effect of Farm Labor Organization on IPM Adoption. Empirical Evidence from Thailand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Beckmann,   Volker; Irawan,   Evi; Wesseler,   Justus.
This paper examines the effect of labor organization on integrated pest management (IPM), using cross section data collected from a participatory farming system survey of 157 durian growers in Chanthaburi, Thailand, in 2005. In contrast to many studies of IPM adoption, this work uses the form of farm labor organization as an endogenous factor for identifying the rate of IPM adoption among durian growers. The instrumental variables method was employed to econometrically relate a set of alleged variables as instruments of labor organization to the rate of IPM adoption. Results show that, among others, farms employing hired labor have a significantly lower adoption rate of IPM.

Effects of Inclusive Village Level Public Agricultural Extension Service: Policy Reform Experiment in Western China
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hu,   Ruifa; Cai,   Yaqing; Chen,   Kevin Z.; Cui,   Ynogwei; Huang,   Jikun.
The top down public agricultural extension system in China and its early reforms during the 1990’s has left millions of farmers without access to extension services. An inclusive agricultural extension system was introduced in 2005 to better meet the diverse technology needs of small farmers.  Three key features of the experiment are 1) inclusion of all farmers as target beneficiaries, 2) effective identification of farmers’ technology needs, and 3) establishment of an accountability system to provide better agricultural advisory services to small farmers. This paper describes design of the reform initiative and examines its effect on small farmers’ access to extension services.  Based on the data randomly collected from 950 farmers in six counties from...

The Effect of Farm Labor Organization on IPM Adoption: Empirical Evidence from Thailand
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Beckmann,   Volker; Irawan,   Evi; Wesseler,   Justus.
This paper examines the empirical evidence of a theoretical economic model of the effect of labor organization on IPM adoption developed by Beckmann and Wes seler (2003). We use cross section data collected from the participatory farming system survey of 150 durian growers in Chanthaburi, Thailand, on March – April 2005. In contrast to many studies of IPM adoption, this work uses the form of farm labor organiza tion as endogenous factor for identifying the rate of IPM adoption of durian growers. Instrumental variables method was employed to relate econometrically a set of suspected variables as instruments of labor organization to the rate of IPM adoption of duri an growers. Results show that, among others, farms employing hired labor have a lower adoption...
