  1. The impact of agricultural extension services on social capital: an application to the Sub-Saharan African Challenge Program in Lake Kivu region.Fédes van Rijn, Ephraim Nkonya & Adewale Adekunle - 2015 - Agriculture and Human Values 32 (4):597-615.
    Many participatory projects in rural Africa aim indirectly to enhance development by promoting different dimensions of social capital: cooperation in networks, trust, and norms of behavior that encourage mutually beneficial action. However, it is unclear whether these development initiatives can actually influence social capital, especially in the short term. To address this question, we used semi-experimental data to investigate the effects of agricultural research and development on various indicators of social capital in the border region of Rwanda, Uganda, and the (...)

    Cacao cultivation is one of the most important livelihoods for rural households in Colombia, where it is promoted as a substitute for the illegal cultivation of coca. To strengthen Colombian cacao farming, it is important to understand the livelihood strategies associated with cacao cultivation and the impact of these different strategies on the well-being of Colombian rural households. We analyzed the impact of cacao cultivation on the livelihood strategies and well-being of rural households in western Colombia. Research with 92 rural (...)

  • Participatory approaches to address climate change: perceived issues affecting the ability of South East Queensland graziers to adapt to future climates.Peter R. Brown, Zvi Hochman, Kerry L. Bridle & Neil I. Huth - 2015 - Agriculture and Human Values 32 (4):689-703.
    We used a participatory approach and a rural livelihoods framework to explore the knowledge and capacity of southeast Queensland graziers to adapt to climate change. After being presented with information on climate change projections, participants identified biophysical and socio-economic opportunities and challenges to adaptation. Graziers identified key opportunities as components of resilience, and in many cases were options that they had some knowledge of either from their own region or elsewhere in the grazing industry. The major constraint to adaptation was (...)
