| The study analyzed the determinants of land tenure insecurity in Uganda using survey data collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) during the Policies for Improved Land Management Project in Uganda, 1999-2001. The survey included a sample of 1322 farm households randomly selected and interviewed using a formal questionnaire. The analysis revealed that tenure category, number of households in the village involved in disputes outside the village, and the number of households in the village who lost land as a result of a dispute over land were significant factors affecting tenure insecurity. |

| This study examines factors affecting users of farmer-to-consumer direct markets. Data for the study were generated by telephone survey administered to 400 random sample consumers in Alabama. The sample was stratified to ensure adequate representation of both metro and non-metropolitan areas. A binary logit model was employed to analyze the data. Results revealed that education was the most significant variable with regard to shopping at farmer-to-consumer direct markets. Although income by itself was not significant, families with children were more likely to shop at a farmer-to-consumer direct market as their income increases. |

| This study examined the characteristics and views of farmers market consumers in Alabama using data generated from 222 consumers randomly selected from two farmers markets. The survey was designed to solicit relevant information necessary to facilitate the study and to provide information on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the clients. Data were summarized and tabulated using descriptive statistics. Results show that when buying fruits and vegetables, consumers are interested in freshness, appearance, variety and selection of produce, availability of locally grown items, price and atmosphere of the store. These results are consistent with the results using the general state sample. |
