Our ability to manage gene flow within traditional agroecosystems and their repercussions requires understanding the biology of crops, including farming practices' role in crop ecology. That these effects on population genetics have not been quantified bespeaks lack an appropriate analytical framework. We use a model that construes seed-management practices as part crop's demography describe dynamics cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Cauca, Colombia. quantify several management for...
Culture is a key determinant of children’s development both in its own right and for understanding the generalizability developmental phenomena. Studying role culture requires information about participants’ demographic backgrounds. However, reporting treatment data are limited inconsistent child research. A barrier to consistent fashion that no standardized tool currently exists collect these data. Variation cultural expectations, family structures, life circumstances across communities...
As in other Latin American countries, agricultural activities Guatemala contribute with 32% of the total employment (65% rural areas), but only one every ten individuals employed these are women. This study examines cultural and economic barriers opportunities for participation women (crop livestock) production systems. We rely on a qualitative approach involving focus group discussions 15–20 each eight communities visited departments Chiquimula (Dry Corridor) Huehuetenango (Western...
Abstract Using a double-hurdle approach, we assess factors associated with the extent of participation in rice market data for small-scale farmers drawn from nationally representative dataset. The results suggest that larger endowments and assets, animal farming commercialization, alternative off-farm income make less likely to participate. Conversely, having access credit, farm sizes, being part farmers’ association all increase likelihood participation. Farms better technological resources...
Abstract Bolivia has disseminated several improved technologies in the rice sector, but average productivity country is far below trend Latin America recent years. Although economic literature highlighted role of agricultural technology adoption increasing productivity, gaps remain understanding how growers are deciding to adopt and benefit from available technologies. Most previous studies have evaluated uptake individual without paying attention complementarities that alternative may offer...
Scientific research has deepened our understanding of coastal hazards by providing projections for future rates sea level rise, erosion, and inundation. Despite these gains, rise risks continue to be perceived many as both temporally spatially distant. Community science projects across the Sea Grant network that engage volunteers in documenting king tides play an important role making information on climate change hazard topics more accessible, relevant, relatable. Grant’s unique model...
