A integracao da mulher nas associacoes de pequenos agricultores de Silvania-GO.

Edmeades, Svetlana.

The paper extends the household hedonic model, as a non-market valuation tool, by estimating a supply function for variety attributes of a subsistence crop in a developing country. The model is applied to bananas in Uganda, making use of disaggregated data on variety-specific farm-gate banana bunch prices and attributes. The hedonic analysis is applied at the farm-gate, the first link in the market chain, while accounting for the semi-subsistence nature of banana producing households. Within the framework of the agricultural household, where consumption and production decisions are non-separable, prices reflect the implicit marginal valuation of both consumption and production attributes jointly. The paper is motivated by the need to quantify the value of...

In recent years, public policy has been offering subsidized credit for machine purchase to family farmers. However, there is no methodological procedure to select a suitable tractor for these farmers' situation. In this way, we aimed to develop a selection model for smallholder farmers from Pelotas city region in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Building a multicriteria model to aid decisions is divided into three main stages: structuring stage (identifying stakeholders, decisional context and model creation), evaluation stage (stakeholder preference quantification) and recommendation stage (choice selection). The Multicriteria method is able to identify and value the criteria used in tractor selection by regional family farmers. Six main evaluation areas...

Adoption of Improved Wheat Technologies by Small-Scale Farmers in Mbeya District, Southern Highlands, Tanzania

ADOPTION OF MAIZE AND WHEAT TECHNOLOGIES IN EASTERN AFRICA: A SYNTHESIS OF THE FINDINGS OF 22 CASE STUDIES

Mussei, Ahaz; Mwanga, Judicate; Mwangi, Wilfred; Verkuijl, Hugo; Mongi, Rose; Elanga, Anthony.

This study was conducted to gain an understanding of how small-scale farmers in Mbeya District have adopted improved wheat technologies promoted by the wheat research program at MARTI-Uyole. The specific objectives were to assess farmers’ wheat management practices, determine the technical and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of improved wheat technologies, and draw implications for research, extension, and policy. A purposive multistage sampling procedure was used to select 202 farmers, 160 from Tembela Division and 42 from Isangati Division, which are two important wheat-growing areas in Mbeya District. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires and supplemented by secondary information obtained from MARTI-Uyole. Juhudi was...

Doss, Cheryl R.; Mwangi, Wilfred; Verkuijl, Hugo; De Groote, Hugo.

This paper synthesizes the findings of 22 micro-level studies on technology adoption carried out by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) with national agricultural research systems in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda from 1996-1999. The authors found that technology adoption is taking place across Eastern Africa but considerable scope remains to improve the productivity of smallholder agriculture in higher potential regions with high levels of adoption. Extension was the variable most highly correlated with technology adoption, and extension services continue to play an important role in disseminating information on new varieties and how to manage them. Despite the usefulness of the micro-study results, especially for priority...

America's Diverse Family Farms: 2010 Edition

Hoppe, Robert A.; Banker, David E.; MacDonald, James M..

American farms vary widely in size and other characteristics, but farming is still an industry of family businesses. Ninety-eight percent of farms are family farms, and they account for 82 percent of farm production. Small family farms make up most of the U.S. farm count and hold the majority of farm assets, but they produce a modest share of U.S. farm output. In contrast, large-scale family farms and nonfamily farms—only 12 percent of all farms—account for 84 percent of farm production. Small farms are less profitable than large-scale farms, on average, and the households operating them tend to rely on off-farm income for their livelihood. Because small-farm households receive most of their income from off-farm work, general economic policies—such as tax...

America's Diverse Family Farms: Structure and Finances

Hoppe, Robert A.; MacDonald, James M.; Banker, David E..

American farms vary widely in size and other characteristics, but farming is still an industry of family businesses. Ninety-eight percent of farms are family farms, and they account for 86 percent of farm production. Very small farms are growing in number, and small family farms continue to own most farmland. But production is shifting toward very large family farms. Because small-farm households receive most of their income from off-farm work, general economic policies—such as tax policy or economic development policy—can be as important to them as traditional farm policy.

Análisis del sistema de producción ovina y crecimiento de corderos en la Sierra Norte de Puebla

Vázquez Martínez, Ignacio.

Se realizó un estudio para analizar el sistema de producción ovina y determinar los índices de crecimiento de corderos en la Sierra Norte del estado de Puebla. El estudio comprendió dos etapas: En la primera, se realizó una encuesta directa con 100 productores la cual se complementó con observación participante en 30 explotaciones ovinas y en la segunda, se obtuvo una muestra de 101 corderos y se evaluó su crecimiento postdestete. La información obtenida se relacionó con los recursos utilizados en la producción de ovinos: mano de obra, áreas comunales de pastoreo, rastrojos de cultivos agrícolas, características del rebaño e insumos externos. Para el análisis de la información se utilizó el paquete estadístico SAS. Se estimaron los estadísticos...

Associação de cultivos entre caupi e milho precoce em Rio Branco, Acre.

Avaliação de programa: aspectos teóricos e metodológicos no contexto da agricultura familiar.

MARINHO, J. T. de S.; COSTA, J. G. da; CAMPOS, I. S.; CUNHA, E. T..

O consorciamento entre as culturas de milho e caupi é prática cultural tradicionalmente difundida entre pequenos agricultores do Norte e Nordeste do país. No Estado do Acre esta prática é adotada, predominantemente, por pequenos agricultores que realizam seus plantios nas várzeas dos rios, quando o volume das águas diminui. Na associação, a cultura principal é o caupi, tendo em vista que o milho plantado neste período é utilizado praticamente para consumo, na forma de milho verde. Em áreas de terra firme, o cultivo associado é pouco utilizado. Assim, a pesquisa desenvolvida no campo experimental da Embrapa Acre, entre 1994 e 1996, possibilitou avaliar a consorciação entre milho e caupi em áreas de terra firme na região de Rio Branco.

ABSTRACT: This study to present information from literature about evaluation of social programs, which were used later on to evaluate the Pronaf (a credit line for small farmers implemented by the Brazilian Federal Government) in Paraiba state. Several approaches about the evolution logic models were identified, in which data and information are gathered through tables or input lists, activities, products, results, in which was verified the recommendation of quasi-experimentation design, with control group, to isolate results of the specific program. Moreover, concepts related to hard indexes and perception data were also presented to facilitate visualization of how determined variable criterion occurs in the real world, i. e., how e perception data can be...

Characteristics and Risk Management Needs of Limited-Resource and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers

Dismukes, Robert; Harwood, Joy L.; Bentley, Susan E..

Small U.S. farms and those run by socially disadvantaged minority operators tend not to purchase insurance or to participate in insurance-type programs operated by USDA. This report traces the lack of use of such risk management measures to several characteristics of such farmers, who include females, blacks, American Indians, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and operators of Spanish origin. These farmers tend, more than the typical U.S. farm, to raise livestock rather than crops, and there are no government-sponsored insurance-type programs for livestock.
