Changes in Beliefs and Perceptions about the Natural Environment in the Forest-Savanna Transitional Zone of Ghana: The Influence of Religion
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sarfo-Mensah,   Paul; Oduro,   William.
The potential of traditional natural resources management for biodiversity conservation and the improvement of sustainable rural livelihoods is no longer in doubt. In sub-Saharan Africa, extensive habitat destruction, degradation, and severe depletion of wildlife, which have seriously reduced biodiversity and undermined the livelihoods of many people in rural communities, have been attributed mainly to the erosion of traditional strategies for natural resources management. In Ghana, recent studies point to an increasing disregard for traditional rules and regulations, beliefs and practices that are associated with natural resources management. Traditional natural resources management in many typically indigenous communities in Ghana derives from changes in...

How is Modernity Accepted by Consumers with Respect to Traditional Food Products? The Case of Traceability
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Halawany,   Rafia; Giraud,   Georges.
Up till now, no researches have been done on consumers’ acceptability of new technical supporters of traceability, especially for traditional food products.  Therefore, in the framework of the EU research project TRACE, we carried out focus group discussions, individual laddering interviews (with hierarchical value maps) and a choice-based conjoint experiment.  Traceability is a fashionable word with different meanings whether it comes to producers or to consumers.  The formers link it to technical aspects while the latter see in it a path for safe and good quality food products.  How to intersect these two dimensions when advertising trend and consumer expectations are focusing on traditional food products?  In France, consumers are familiar with the word...

DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED DOUBLE BURNER NATURAL DRAFT BIOMASS COOKSTOVE
Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: YUNUSA, SULEIMAN USMAN.
An improved natural-draft double burner biomass cookstove was developed. The study became imperative to minimize the increasing rate of deforestation, harmful gas accumulation as well as excessive fuel consumption and heat loss experienced in the use of the inefficient and traditional cooking method. The study was conducted in the Department of Agricultural and Bio-resources Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The cookstove was designed based on performance, affordability, and usability, and it was constructed purely from locally available materials. Stainless steel was used to construct the stove cladding; it possesses lesser thermal conductivity of 14.9 W/mk as compared to aluminum and mild steel which have 174.6 W/mk and 80.2 W/mk,...

A case-study approach to profitability assessment in fermented African locust beans (iru) production using break-even analysis
Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: Atoyebi, Jelili Olaniyi; Bello, Sururah Apinke; Owolarafe, Oseni Kehinde.
The significance of a break-even point analysis is much important to the small- scale enterprises in determining profit or loss incurred. In this study, a case study approach was used to test this concept on iru production using structured oral interviews and visual observation of a production centre in Nigeria. Data analysis was achieved using production cost, the unit quantity and break-even point analysis. The results show that the monthly average cost of N 32,237.00, the monthly average variable cost of N71,334.00, Contribution Margin Ratio of 47.06 % and break-even sales of N 68,502.00 were obtained using a traditional method of iru production (TIPP). In a mechanized method (MIPP), monthly average fixed cost of N 85,887.00, the monthly average...
