Abstract:
Economic development requires following the principles of sustainable development for the socio-economic progress of a country. The organic farming sector is important in ensuring sustainable development. The advancement of organic farming is an important issue which combines the environment, human health and socio-economic development. It is a management method that facilitates supplying high-quality food products and aims at eliminating the use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides. Organic farming has a beneficial impact on natural environmental protection, biodiversity conservation and food safety and quality improvement. The natural conditions in a region have a decisive impact on organic farming development. The purpose of this study is to assess the spatial diversity of organic farming and selected organic crop production in Poland by voivodship in 2013 and 2018. The statistical analysis of organic farming spatial diversity was conducted in a one- and two-dimensional approach. The analysis conducted made it possible to identify four clusters of voivodships based on the production volume of selected organic crops using the k-means algorithm. Graphs of observation depth contours in a sample were used to visualise and to analyse the two-dimensional data. STATISTICA software and selected packages of the R environment, available under the GPL licence, were used in the analysis. The analysis shows that the organic farm number and acreage in Poland is characterised by considerable variability between voivodships, with their noticeable concentration in several country regions. In the analysed years, organic farming was the most widespread in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship and the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodship.

Abstract:
The paper focuses on the insect community as a "link" between ecosystem producers, secondary consumers and decomposers and the mobile and informative indicator of structure, biological stability and productivity. Consortium and other subsystems of agricultural ecosystems are mainly destroyed annually as a result of technological measures - chemical, mechanical, biological. External ecological factors, including the structure of the agrolandscape, in particular field protective forest shelter belts and ecotones between them, also have a certain influence. The research was conducted in organic agrolandscape (Kyiv region, Ukraine), comparing it with the conventional one. Insects were collected in winter wheat fields, ecotones and adjacent forest shelterbelts. The number of orders, families and individuals is greater under organic farming. The highest number of families and individuals was recorded in the forest shelterbelts adjacent to the organic landscape (26.3 and 111.7, respectively). The number of individuals in organic winter wheat fields was twice as large as in conventional fields and amounted to 85.3 individuals on average; the number of families was by 1.8 times larger. Biodiversity indices (Shannon, Menhinick, Margalef, Berger-Parker, and Pielou) confirm the greater diversity of insects in the organic fields of winter wheat. The Sørensen similarity coefficient was higher in the organic fields and forest shelterbelts near the conventional fields (Cs=0.7), which is explained by the largest number of phytophages in these ecosystems. The share of predators and parasites that control pests in the agricultural system was highest in organic ecotones and forest shelterbelts - 26.21% and 33.12% (against 10.24 and 18.16% in conventional, respectively).

Abstract:
<p>Agricultural land has decreased the impact on farmers in meeting their needs. The transition to agriculture complicates industry in its effort to meet the needs of farmers. Another issue, climate change will disrupt plant crops that will result in inefficient farming. Farming inefficiencies are a reason for farmers to diversify. This study was based on a micro data survey data of agricultural enterprise household income in the Regencies / Cities of West Java on a household level. Limits of household income diversification of farming is when the household has to venture outside the agricultural sector or one of the cores and the sources of income comes from salaries / wages of laborers / employees outside the agricultural sector. The results showed that with the increasing age of the household head the diversity decreases, the higher the education of the head of household the more it encourages the diversification of income, the more the additional land area increases diversification, the easier access to credit for adding revenue diversification, increasing the income of farmers that tend not to diversify, the more houses and stairs in school which support farmers to diversify, the more productive the household income lowers with diversification.</p><p><br />JEL Classification: D31, O12, O13<br />Keywords: Climate Change, Diversify, Diversity of Income, Farming, Inefficiency</p>

The Impact of social and economic change on genetic diversity of domesticated plants with special reference to wet rice field and homegarden farming of West Java. Various farming systems have played an important role as sources of genetic diversity in plants. A large number of cultivated varieties have been commonly selected, maintained, and distributed by farmers and cultural practices and ecological factors have been involved. These factors, such as soil, climate, pests, and culinary, magical and ritual uses, have influenced farmers in their selection of plants in farming systems. Nowadays, however, the number of plant varieties in various farming systems of Java has dramatically declined. This article attempts to discuss the impact of social and economic change on the genetic diversity of agricultural plants of the wet rice field and home-garden farming, particularly based on data from West Java.

Abstract:
Organic farming has been recommended by many experts in the world because of its positive ecological impacts such as increasing biodiversity. In Indonesia, the practice of organic farming is very widespread, including in smallholder coffee plantations. This study was intended to determine the impact of the organic farming system applied by smallholder coffee farmers for 2 years on soil arthropod diversity. On the two coffee farmlands, the conventional and organics (1 ha each), 10 plots of 5 x 20 meters were set and in each of these plots 5 sampling points were defined for collecting soil arthropods using pit-fall technique. The analysis of arthropod diversity in the two fields was quantified using the Shannon-Wiener diversity index model. The results showed that the two compared coffee farming systems had the same index of diversity (H ') and evenness (E). However, statistical tests using the Hutcheson t-test revealed that the variance in diversity of arthropods in organic coffee farms was significantly higher than in conventional ones (α <0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the practice of organic coffee farming, although in a short time, has been able and potent to increase the population and/or diversity of soil animals.

Abstract:
The research aimed to investigate and give an understanding of diversity of the farming activities of the beneficiaries of the land reform programme in Chegutu District (Ward 12). The farmers were resettled under both the A1 villagised model and the A2 large scale commercial farming model. The generalised models of A1 and A2 as given by the Government of Zimbabwe do not really characterise the farming and other activities undertaken by beneficiaries of the land reform programme, the study aimed to understand the diversity of the farming activities and hence put the farmers into groups or types as defined by their practices. Diversity in this context means the variation of farming activities of the farmers in the study area. Based on specific parameters, farmers were put in categories/types thereby giving meaning to the diversity of farming activities in the area. The parameters/variables that were used include age of the farmer, the gender of the farmer, the year the farmer was allocated the plot, quality of home infrastructure, the livestock owned, crops produced, the hectarage under each crop and the quantities produced. The other variables that were considered are job status of the plot/farm owner (whether the plot owner have a salaried job or not), the head of the farming activities on the plot/farm and whether the farmer is farming under irrigation or dry land. These parameters, one way or the other, interact with each other thereby influencing the farmer to make decisions that will eventually determine the type of farmer he or she becomes. An attempt was also made to do an economic analysis to assess the profitability of each type of farmers farming operations. By definition, profitability measures the difference between revenue and costs. Revenue is a product of price and quantities of commodities produced while costs are calculated from input quantities and input prices. The hypotheses that were tested are that: There is diversity of farming activities amongst the beneficiaries of the Zimbabwe Land Reform Programme in the study area. The farmers in the study area are farming profitably. The main reason for undertaking the study in the area was that after the Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP), there was need to understand the dynamics with regard to agricultural production among the farmers. Understanding the diversity of farming activities would then inform policy or intervention strategies to be undertaken in support of the beneficiaries of land reform programme. The other reason why the study area was chosen was because the student is a plot holder in the area and therefore an interested part, in addition to that, general observation points to the likelihood of existence of diversity amongst the farming activities in the area and hence the reason to undertake the study in the area. The administrative, traditional and political authorities were approached to get the authorisation to carry out the study in the area. Random interviews were done as a way of pre-testing the questionnaire and some modifications were done to the initial questionnaire. Several transect walks were also done in the study area to observe and have a general understanding of features and activities in the area. The Extension Officers of sub-divisions/areas within the study area were approached to appraise them of the purpose of the study and also to get their generalised overview of the agricultural set up. Systematic sampling was used per farm targeting a threshold of 10 per cent of the population. Data collection was done from 82 farmers through a patient interview process with the assistance of the Extension Officers who also assisted with transport (motorbikes) to traverse the area. The farmers were generally very co-operative in most instances even though sometimes it was based on them hoping that the research may bring some material support for their farming activities, a notion that was clarified that the research was not going to bring any material support to them at least in the short-term. The last step was the processing of the data which involved both quantitative and qualitative methods in line with objectives and the hypotheses put forward by the study. The typology was developed by an iterative method of continuously refining to ensure a valid and meaningful typology of farmers. An analysis of production activities was also done to check if the farming activities of these beneficiaries of the land reform programme were making any economic sense. The farming activities are basically a function of what resources the farmers have, the conditions under which they farm and the external support received from government or other agencies with interest in agricultural development. The land use practices included a mixture of both irrigated and dry land crop production systems, livestock rearing and vegetable gardening (mainly for home consumption). The farmers are keen to farm on a commercial farming level basis, but non-use of equipment by most farmers in the study area make their production level to remain at subsistence level. Most farmers generally expressed satisfaction with the offer letters as proof of land ownership, but indicated that any strengthening of land ownership especially with title deeds that could allow them to access loans from banks was most welcome.

Abstract:
Rural areas of most developing nations are dependent on agriculture. In the most remote areas, sometimes referred to as the â less favored areasâ (LFAs), the economic importance of agriculture is paramount. An important obstacle to development in these areas is that agriculture is at the mercy of nature, which may not be particularly friendly. These areas have remained remote due to natural shortcomings causing economic development to occur slower than more advantaged areas elsewhere. Cochabamba Department, in central Bolivia, is home to some of these LFAs. Most Cochabamban producers are located in the â high climatic riskâ (CIP-WPA) Andean highlands. Farmers in LFAs surrounding Cochabamba city produce (among other things) potatoes for market and home consumption; the potato is the main source of food and income for most residents. Previous studies and anecdotal evidence have shown that Andean potato farmers may plant upwards of 10 varieties of potatoes on small amounts of land (Brush, 92). Because of the low rates of improved crop variety adoption in many LFAâ s, efforts are needed to understand farmer objectives and needs with respect to variety characteristics. The goal of this study is to determine how exposure to risk factors impacts potato planting decisions through demand for potato variety characteristics. The main source of data for this project is a survey of 145 farm households implemented during the last quarter of 2007 in 3 communities of Cochabamba. These data were used to estimate an econometric model that evaluated the role of household, regional and variety characteristics in farmer decision making. Decisions about planting each variety were modeled with a Tobit framework and estimated by the Heckman method (as suggested by Cameron and Trivedi), with the impact of individual variety characteristics restricted to be the same for each variety. Several hypotheses were confirmed such as the importance of yield, though many results were different than expected. Blight tolerance was found to be negatively correlated with selection, although most farmers report taking some kind of action to decrease damage from blight. Possible explanations for this negative correlation are discussed in this paper, and strategies for overcoming these obstacles are suggested.

Abstract:
The big importance of insects and their ecological services to the human kind is a big issue in today’s society. Many people question the use of pesticides and are blaming chemicals and conventional farming for the loss of beneficial insects. With this in mind people instead turn to the organic farming. The aim of this study was to try and find out if organic farming benefits the diversity of insects. The study was performed on a farm in South Africa which practice both conventional and organic farming and also has a natural Fynbos field on its property. The insect diversity was compared in these three different fields. The collecting of insects was performed by using two different methods, using pan traps and pitfall traps. This study shows that there is a significant difference in the amount of species among the different fields, with a significant higher insect diversity in the Fynbos compared to the conventional farming area, and the diversity of insects in the organic farming is somewhere between the natural Fynbos and the conventional farming. In conclusion this study stress that we need more understanding about what critical factors in the organic farming that supports higher diversity and the importance of surrounding farms that also may play a role to increase the biological diversity to cultivated fields.

Abstract:
Les fermes maraîchères biologiques françaises sont diverses, allant de systèmes complexes agroécologiques reposant sur la biodiversité et produisant de nombreux légumes différents, à des systèmes simples reposant sur les intrants et produisant peu de légumes différents, ce qui suggère des impacts sur l'environnement différents. L’objectif de la thèse est d’évaluer les performances environnementales de fermes maraîchères biologiques contrastées, au moyen de l’analyse de cycle de vie (ACV). La thèse s’organise autour de : (1) la caractérisation de la diversité des fermes maraîchères biologiques, en mobilisant une typologie réalisée à partir d’enquêtes, et un cadre d’analyse de la diversité des formes d’agriculture ; (2) l’adaptation d’une méthode d’évaluation de la biodiversité au contexte du maraichage ;(3) l’évaluation de trois fermes contrastées par une approche « système » de l’ACV, abordant la ferme comme un tout et où tous les intrants, opérations, et émissions sont rapportés à la production annuelle totale. L’analyse des impacts, exprimés par kg de légume, ha de ferme et Euro de valeur, sur le changement climatique, sur l’eutrophisation marine, sur la biodiversité, la demande cumulative en énergie et l’usage de plastique, fait apparaître de grandes différences entre les systèmes dans leurs principaux postes d’impact, mais ne permet pas d’obtenir un classement clair entre les trois fermes. L’approche « système » de l’ACV correspond au fonctionnement agroécologique et apporte une réponse au défi posé par la complexité de certaines fermes maraichères. L’indicateur d’utilisation de plastique apporte un éclairage nouveau sur une préoccupation croissante
French organic vegetable farms are diverse, ranging from complex agroecological systems based on biodiversity and producing many different vegetables, to simple systems based on inputs and producing few different vegetables, suggesting different environmental impacts. The objective of the thesis is to assess the environmental performance of contrasting organic vegetable farms, using life cycle assessment (LCA). The thesis is organised as follows: (1) the characterisation of the diversity of organic vegetable farms, using a typology based on surveys and a framework for analysing farming system diversity; (2) the adaptation of a biodiversity assessment method to vegetable farming; 3) the assessment of three contrasting farms using a LCA "system" approach, considering the farm as a whole and in which all inputs, operations and emissions are related to the total annual production. The analysis of the impacts, expressed per kg of vegetable, ha of farmland and economic value expressed in Euro, on climate change, marine eutrophication, biodiversity, cumulative energy demand and plastic use, revealed large differences between the systems for their main impact contributors, but did not allow a clear ranking of the three farms. The LCA "system" approach corresponds to the agroecological functioning and addresses the challenge posed by the complexity of some vegetable farms. The plastic use indicator shed new light on a growing concern

Abstract:
The use of sensors in the agricultural domain generates a massive volume of heterogeneous data that must be treated, stored, and processed for decision-making. These decisions must be taken considering the diversity of devices and contextual information, which is often not considered but is important to the decision-making process. This paper presents an architecture to integrate data from sensors related to precision livestock farms. The integration and processing of these data can support decision-making, lead to more accurate results and enhance agribusiness sustainability.

The use of sensors in the agricultural sector generates a large volume of heterogeneous data that must be processed, stored, and analyzed to support decisions. In addition, decisions taken in agriculture need to be traceable due to the diversity of data and devices present in different agricultural contexts. With provenance, we can trace and analyze data to improve future decisions and avoid the usefulness ones. This article presents the e-LivestockProv architecture, focusing on data provenance.

Full text
Abstract:
Vale do Sousa is a heterogeneous territory located in the North Region of Portugal. Until a few decades ago, the economy was based on small-scale farming with maize for bread (Broa) as one important crop. Each community had its own maize varieties and practices, which were reflected in the composition, shape, size and flavour of local Broa. In the last decades, the abandonment of agriculture was noticeable, leading to a progressive decrease in maize production and to genetic erosion. More recently, local stakeholders became aware of the important role that landraces and biodiverse food can play in local development and have engaged in finding new opportunities for a sustainable Broa value chain development in Vale do Sousa region. This paper aims at identifying opportunities and bottlenecks in the marketing of regional Broa. It uses a case study approach that, unlike the majority of the research in this area, covers the whole supply chain and includes needs and expectations of farmers, processors, consumers and their networks. The main problem identified by local actors is that traditional varieties are less productive, leading farmers to favour commercial maize varieties less suitable for baking. At the processing level, local actors raised the question of legislation, arguing that, in Portugal, European rules on food safety are not realistically applied to endogenous food products. The results also show that final consumers as well as restaurants recognize the quality of traditional Broa and seem to be willing to pay a price premium to reward farmers for using traditional varieties.

Abstract:
Agricultural land comprises an important share of the total terrestrial land. Therefore it plays a crucial role in the health of the so-called foundation of all types of ecosystem services – biodiversity. This research aims at providing a tool for evaluating the state of biodiversity in an agricultural landscape by using different agri-environmental indicators. A system dynamics model is built that encloses agricultural land use parameters, agricultural land use intensity, landscape fragmentation patterns, crop diversity and other aspects that have an important effect on biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. This research is an attempt to use information available for public to assess the degree to which agricultural landscape may benefit from landscape greening activities, changes in crop management activities etc. At the end of this research landscape biodiversity of an intensive farming region in Latvia (Bauska district) will be evaluated.

Abstract:
The agronomic stability of the variety, along with high yields, is an indispensable condition for its zoning in risky farming areas, which include also the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The technology of cell selection under inducted stress in vitro (salinity, low pH) may produce genetic diversity based on the somaclonal variations. A comparative assessment of the yield stability of the regenerate varieties obtained by this method and of their donor genotypes was carried out. Field experiments were carried out for three years differing by moisture at the experimental production farm “Minino” near Krasnoyarsk city. The linear regression coefficient (bi) and squared deviation (s2 d) had suggested by S.A. Eberhart and W.A. Russell were used for the evaluation of varieties. A significant difference in phenotypic stability was revealed between donor varieties and regenerate ones. The regenerate varieties appeared to be better adapted to low-yielding locations (bi<0,7). However, the presence of a number of regenerate varieties, demonstrating, in comparison with the donor genotype, greater yield stability (bi → 1; s2 d → 0) with an average yield close to the original genotype, is to be noted. This shows the potential of cell selection for the stability increase of high yield varieties. In general, high variability of regenerate varieties deviation from their donor

Abstract:
This study provides insights into a specific, hard-to-reach youth subpopulation—those born in agricultural areas in Western Kenya who migrate to large towns and cities—that is often missed by research and development activities. Using a mixed-methods approach, we find high variability in movement of youth between rural villages, towns, and large urban areas. Top reasons for youth migration align with existing literature, including pursuit of job opportunities and education. For youth from villages where crop farming is the primary economic activity for young adults, 77 percent responded that they are very interested in that work, in contrast to the common notion that youth are disinterested in agriculture. We also find many youth interested in settling permanently in their villages in the future. This research confirms that youth migration is dynamic, requiring that policymakers and development practitioners employ methods of engaging youth that recognize the diversity of profiles and mobility of this set of individuals.

Full text
Abstract:
The atrocities committed by the Islamic State (IS) between 2014 and 2017 left deep scars on the Nineveh Plains in northern Iraq. IS deliberately targeted ethnic and religious communities with the aim of erasing the traces of diversity, pluralism and coexistence that have long characterized the region. To prevent people from living as Assyrians, Chaldeans, Kaka’i, Shabaks, Syriacs, Turkmen and Yazidis, IS destroyed sites of cultural and religious significance to these communities and devastated their livelihoods, including their crop and livestock farming activities. Using a people-centered approach, this SIPRI Research Policy Paper stresses the need for a holistic approach to post-conflict reconstruction in the Nineveh Plains that not only focuses on rebuilding the physical environment and economic structures, but also pays adequate attention to restoring the ability of communities to engage in cultural and religious practices, and to mending social and intercommunity relations. The paper highlights the interconnectedness of physical environments, economic structures, cultural practices and social dynamics. It stresses the need to address the impacts of the IS occupation while taking into account other pressing challenges such as climate change and water scarcity.

Gender mainstreaming in local potato seed system in Georgia. International Potato Center, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4160/9789290605645.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents the study findings associated with the project “Enhancing Rural Livelihoods in Georgia: Introducing Integrated Seed Health Approaches to Local Potato Seed Systems” in Georgia. It also incorporates information from the results of gender training conducted within the framework of the USAID Potato Program in Georgia. The study had three major aims: 1) to understand the gender-related opportunities and constraints impacting the participation of men and women in potato seed systems in Georgia; 2) to test the multistakeholder framework for intervening in root, tuber, and banana (RTB) seed systems as a means to understand the systems themselves and the possibilities of improving gender-related interventions in the potato seed system; and 3) to develop farmers’ leadership skills to facilitate women’s active involvement in project activities. Results of the project assessment identified certain constraints on gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system: a low level of female participation in decision-making processes, women’s limited access to finances that would enable their greater involvement in larger scale potato farming, and a low awareness of potato seed systems and of possible female involvement in associated activities. Significantly, the perception of gender roles and stereotypes differs from region to region in Georgia; this difference is quite pronounced in the target municipalities of Kazbegi, Marneuli, and Akhalkalaki, with the last two having populations of ethnic minorities (Azeri and Armenian, respectively). For example, in Marneuli, although women are actively involved in potato production, they are not considered farmers but mainly as assistants to farmers, who are men. This type of diversity (or lack thereof) results in a different understanding of gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system as well. Based on the training results obtained in three target regions—Akhalkalaki, Akhaltsikhe, and Marneuli—it is evident that women are keen on learning new technologies and on acquiring updated agricultural information, including on potato production. It is also clear that women spend as much time as men do on farming activities such as potato production, particularly in weeding and harvesting. However, women are heavily burdened with domestic work, and they are not major decision-makers with regard to potato variety selection, agricultural investments, and product sales, nor with the inclusion of participants in any training provided. Involving women in project activities will lead to greater efficiency in the potato production environment, as women’s increased knowledge will certainly contribute to an improved production process, and their new ideas will help to improve existing production systems, through which women could also gain confidence and power. As a general recommendation, it is extremely important to develop equitable seed systems that take into consideration, among other factors, social context and the cultural aspects of local communities. Thus, understanding male and female farmers’ knowledge may promote the development of seed systems that are sustainable and responsive to farmers’ needs and capacities.
