Sustainability standards are gaining in importance global markets for high-value foods. While previous research has shown that participating farmers developing countries may benefit through income gains, nutrition impacts have hardly been analysed. We use survey data from smallholder coffee Uganda – certified under Fairtrade, Organic, and UTZ to analyse on food security dietary quality. Estimates of instrumental variable models simultaneous equation systems show certification increases...
Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global agriculture agrifood systems requires quality labeling or annotation in order to be interoperable. As recommended the FAIR principles, data, labels, metadata must use controlled vocabularies ontologies that are popular knowledge domain commonly used community. Despite existence of robust Life Sciences, there is currently no comprehensive full set for across agricultural disciplines. In this paper, we discuss...
Abstract The expansion and intensification of agriculture as well the associated land clearing are threatening both biodiversity human wellbeing in tropical areas. Implementing agroforestry systems through a landscape approach has strong potential for integrating nature conservation objectives into agricultural systems. A key challenge implementing is that political processes initiatives operate ‘silos’, being largely disconnected from farmers local agents responsible tree governance. In...
Does the provision of weather and climate information services (WCIS) enhance farmer's use forecasts in informing farm decisions? This paper assesses effectiveness Multi-disciplinary Working Group (MWG) – a WCIS co-production initiative Senegal influencing farmers uptake (WCI). are increasingly gaining importance widely touted as critical helping adapt to variability. While there have been various initiatives producing translating data into tailored knowledge different parts world, is hardly...
This study compares risk preferences elicited from two different methods and the resulting inconsistency rates in response behavior. We also identify compare how demographic socioeconomic characteristics influence methods. use experimental survey data collected 332 randomly selected smallholder coffee farmers Uganda. find relatively low behavior that both classify most as averse. However, a closer inspection reveals significantly results. Specific affect farmers’ but are not stable across elicitation
Conventional agricultural practices such as the use of moldboard plough are no longer sustainable due to their extensive soil degradation effects. As a panacea, several Conservation Agriculture (CA) technologies have been promoted improve structure and water conservation. However, adoption these has resisted by smallholder farmers identifying causes low rates facilitate intervention strategies remains challenge development practitioners. Using data from 100 farmers, this paper uses Tobit...
In the West African Sahel, climate variability and change pose huge challenges to food security health, particularly for poor marginalised population groups. Co-production of actionable information between scientists users has been advocated increase its use in adaptation. Consequently, Weather Climate Services (WCS) co-production models have expanding, but there few evaluations their effects. Those that exist mostly focus on end user. The empirical contribution this paper is an...
Abstract The increasing demand for high‐value agricultural products such as fresh fruit presents opportunities farmers in developing countries due to their higher market value compared with traditional staple crops. This study uses data on trust, risk, and time preferences obtained through behavioral experiments, combined a discrete choice experiment understand effect farmers’ choices of marketing attributes, collecting from 252 Eastern Rwanda. results reveal that farmers, overall, have...
This study compares risk attitudes of smallholder farmers elicited from two different lottery designs (i) with fixed payoffs and changing probabilities (ii) payoffs. We utilize a combination experimental household survey data collected 332 randomly selected coffee in Uganda. Both methods reveal high proportions who are classified as averse. However, comparing the categories shows that elicitation yield significantly results. Furthermore, we relatively find low inconsistency rates response...

As recommended the FAIR principles, data, labels metadata must use controlled vocabularies ontologies that are popular in knowledge domain commonly used community. Despite existence of robust Life Sciences, there is currently no agreed full set for annotation across agricultural disciplines, which may span genetics, environment,...
Assessing and responding to gender inequalities, promoting women's empowerment, can be critical achieving the goals of climate services, such as improved resilience, productivity, food security livelihoods. To this end, our paper seeks provide guidance rural service researchers, implementing organizations, funders on gender-responsive evaluation including key questions asked appropriate methodology. We draw case studies services in Mali, Rwanda Southeast Asia illustrate how evaluations have...
