Estimating seed demand in the presence of market frictions: evidence from an auction experiment in Nigeria

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
This paper measures the effect of seed quality misperceptions on bidding behavior and demand for high-quality seed using an information-provision experiment within an incentive-compatible Vickery Second Price (SPA) auction mechanism that mimics seed purchasing decisions in the presence of seed market frictions. We find that most individuals are prone to quality misperception and revise their bids upwards (downwards) in response to positive (negative) quality signals. In addition, by exploiting random variation in the timing of cash grants, we show that imperfect information influences farmer seed valuation, even in the presence of potentially binding liquidity constraints. We also demonstrate that the provision of quality information does not fully resolve quality misperceptions. We then show that unresolved or persistent misperception is severe enough to distort bidding behavior, and ignoring it could lead to biased willingness-to-pay estimates. Our findings have important implications both for improving inference related to the identification and estimation of willingness to pay for quality seed in the presence of market frictions, and for the design of seed sector polices in developing countries.

Does social capital influence adoption of conservation agriculture among smallholder farmers in Malawi?

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Reducing Malawi's persistent food insecurity requires increased and sustainable agricultural productivity despite worsening climate shocks and soil degradation. This study focuses on social capital as a catalyst for the uptake of Conservation Agriculture (CA), a sustainable cropping technique that can address these problems. Despite several initiatives from NGOs and the Malawian government, as well as scientific data supporting CA, adoption rates remain below expectations. The study used secondary data collected by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) under ‘Understanding and Enhancing the Adoption of Conservation Agriculture
in Smallholder Farming Systems of Southern Africa (ACASA) Project’ from 1,512 households sampled randomly. The main objective of this research was to examine how social capital components interact to influence farmers’ decisions in adoption of CA practices using the Negative Binomial Regression Model (NBRM). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted on social capital elements to derive social capital dimensions. Results show that group membership and relations to leadership positively influenced the adoption of CA. Furthermore, cultivated land, extension services, livestock ownership, and access to credit had a positive influence on the number of CA practices adopted. Although the effect on full CA adoption is minimal compared to partial adoption, results demonstrate favorable trends toward full CA adoption. We also used Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) to investigate determinants of participation in social networks. Findings show that the number of training a farmer receives is the main determinant across all dimensions of social capital. The results underscore the importance of implementing policies that encourage cooperation and community involvement to strengthen social networks to improve CA uptake.

Gendered seed production and delivery models across 10 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
The study was conducted in 10 African countries where 166 bean seed production and delivery actors were interviewed. The survey intended to document various production and delivery models used across the regions, the extent to which they involve and benefit women and vulnerable groups, the extent to which they promote availability and access to high-quality seeds, and examine the measures put in place to ensure high-quality seeds reach last mile farmers. The study participants were nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), national agricultural research system (NARS), seed companies and farmer seed producer groups. Purposive sampling was used due to the limited number of bean seed actors along the chain ready to provide information on their activities. Data was collected using the surveyCTO platform and it was managed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (SPSS), version 20.

Most actors along the bean seed chain are primarily led by men. The most common production models practiced by the actors are contract farming, seed production cooperatives/groups and seed multiplication and distribution. To a small extent, the actors also utilize a community-based seed production model. The most notable delivery models are direct sales, followed by agrodealer networks and seed fairs and exchanges. The involvement of women and vulnerable groups in both the production and delivery models was found to be satisfactory at a rate of approximately 70%. In addition, the models were found to promote seed availability to men and women when they needed it at the right point and time. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that the models were inclusive increasing access to high quality been seed which was beneficial to women and vulnerable groups. However, the leadership of the seed actors is dominated by male at approximately 69%, which means that a significant number of women have no power to make key decisions along the seed value chain. Been seeds provided by production and delivery models were found to be affordable. However, 19% of the bean seeds provided by the production models were considered to be either expensive or very expensive, whereas 26% of those provided by delivery models were also reported to be expensive or very expensive. This is consistent with the cost of seed, which was 16% and 17% higher for the production and delivery models, respectively.

The main goals of production models are; ensuring availability of high-quality seeds and increasing productivity. While the primary goals of delivery models are; access to high-quality seeds access, profitability/market expansion, increased productivity, inclusivity and the promotion of rural/local economies. Both production and delivery models were reported to be effective at realizing the set goals at 73% and 69% respectively. The most notable programs/policies that have been put in place by delivery models to ensure that farmers afford seeds include flexible payment terms, bulk purchase discounts and credit schemes. In addition, both production and delivery models have enacted measures such as inspections, training, certification, testing, feedback mechanisms and traceability to enhance the quality of seeds as well as helping them in realizing their goals.

In conclusion, the most common production model among the actors is contract farming with the exception of the national agricultural research system (NARS) partners who prefer seed multiplication and distribution models. On the other hand, the commonly adopted delivery model among the actors is direct sales except for the NGO partners who mainly utilize seed multiplication and distribution and agrodealer network. To a large extent, production and delivery models encourage active involvement of men and women in their activities. Additionally, these models are considered beneficial to both genders. However, it should be noted that leadership positions across the actors are dominated by male in contrast with their female counterparts. Furthermore, the models are beneficial and not primarily empowering women and vulnerable groups. This means that, to a great extent, females do not participate in making key decisions along the value chain. The main goal of production models is to make high quality seed available as well as increase productivity. Similarly, delivery models’ primary goal is to provide high quality seeds, increase productivity and make profit. The production and delivery model actors have principally put in place measures such as inspection, certification and training which helps them to effectively achieve their goals. Furthermore, the actors have put in place programs such as subsidies, flexible payment terms and bulk purchase discounts to increase their effectiveness in realizing their goals.

The authors recommends that, to continue realizing the inclusivity of women and vulnerable groups, a multistakeholder
approach geared towards women’s empowerment should be considered for both production and delivery models. Additionally, a key cross-cutting issue is the lack of women in leadership positions so there is a need to establish mechanisms and strategies that will support women’s involvement in leading bean seed entities. Women should be supported to effectively participate in contract farming. It is important to strengthen and expand the agrodealer network since they play an important role in the distribution of seeds.

Child feeding practices in rural Ethiopia show increasing consumption of unhealthy foods

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
The quality of complementary feeding can have both short- and long-term health impacts by delaying or promoting child growth and establishing taste preferences and feeding behaviours. We aimed to assess the healthy and unhealthy feeding practices of infants and young children in rural Ethiopia. We conducted two rounds of surveys in December 2017/18 in Habru district, North Wello, rural Ethiopia among caregivers of infants and young children (N = 574). We characterised the consumption of infants and young children using non-quantitative 24 h recall and the World Health Organization infant and young child feeding indicators. Sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometry and haemoglobin concentrations were assessed. Breastfeeding was a norm as 82% and 67% were breastfed in the first and second rounds. Between the two rounds, dietary diversity increased from 5% to 17% (p < 0.05), but more pronounced increases were observed in the consumption of ultra-processed food (UPFs). Up to one-in-five (22%) of the children consumed UFPs. With an average of only three food groups consumed, the consumption of nutrient-dense foods like animal source foods, fruits and vegetables was very low particularly among younger children. UPFs are an additional risk factor that contributes to poor quality diets. Behavioural Change Communication interventions, including those in rural areas, should explicitly discourage the consumption of UPFs. Future studies should aim to quantify the amount of UPFs consumed and evaluate how this is associated with diet adequacy and nutritional outcomes.

Comprehensive Analysis of Business Models of AgriTechs in Uzbekistan

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Agriculture is a pivotal sector in Uzbekistan, employing 26.8% of the workforce and contributing 25.1% of GDP. Small-scale producers, including household farms and dehkan farmers, generate over 70% of agricultural output but use only 20% of arable land. The sector faces significant challenges such as soil degradation, water shortages, and inefficient practices. These issues are exacerbated by limited access to formal markets and financial resources, which constrains growth and productivity. 
To address these challenges, the Uzbek government has launched the Strategy for the Development of Agriculture (2020-2030), which aims for a 5% annual growth by 2025. The strategy focuses on improving food security, creating a favorable business climate, increasing investment, and enhancing resource management. Key measures include modernizing land management, expanding water-saving irrigation, supporting small producers, and boosting agricultural productivity. 
The government is dedicated to leveraging digital technologies to modernize agriculture. The Digital Uzbekistan 2030 strategy focuses on implementing projects to foster digital transformation, including investing in cutting-edge agricultural technologies. This creates opportunities for the agriTech startup community in Uzbekistan, which is currently in its early stages and grappling with funding challenges and limited internet access in rural areas. 
The F2R-CWANA initiative, led by ICARDA under the One CGIAR program, addresses the severe agricultural and climate-related challenges in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA). The initiative aims to leverage the expertise of eight CGIAR Centers and local knowledge to deliver tailored, evidence-based solutions for climate resilience, nutrition, and agri-food systems. To support agricultural innovation, the AgriTech4Uzbekistan program was launched. This accelerator program, part of the F2R-CWANA initiative, focuses on fostering a vibrant ecosystem for agriTech start-ups in Uzbekistan. 
The AgriTech4Uzbekistan Innovation Challenge 2023 offered a robust support system for AgriTech start-ups. The challenge targeted innovative solutions in digital agriculture, precision farming, water management, financial services, and supply chain management to address issues like water scarcity and enhance financial access, particularly for women entrepreneurs. 
The AgriTech4Uzbekistan Innovation Challenge has been instrumental in highlighting a dynamic array of start-ups ready to tackle urgent agricultural and climate-tech issues. By concentrating on five pivotal areas—Digital Agriculture & Precision Farming, Capacity Building, Water Management & Irrigation Systems, Financial Services, and Supply Chain Management—these start-ups present a spectrum of innovative and impactful solutions. The challenge effectively demonstrates the sector’s potential to revolutionize agricultural practices not just within Uzbekistan, but on a global scale. 
The integration of advanced technologies and tailored solutions across these priority areas illustrates the transformative power of the agriTech sector. These innovations promise to enhance agricultural efficiency, sustainability, and resilience. The varied marketing strategies and funding approaches of the start-ups underscore the sector’s vibrant and adaptive nature, reflecting how these ventures are equipped to address both regional and international challenges.
To enhance the effectiveness and impact of start-ups, several key recommendations are proposed: foster collaboration among start-ups in complementary fields to create integrated solutions, provide targeted support for scaling through funding and strategic partnerships, and develop tailored funding programs to address diverse needs. Additionally, encourages exploration of regional and global markets, strengthens capacity-building efforts to improve technology use, and facilitates cross-sector knowledge sharing to drive innovation. Start-ups should also optimize marketing strategies based on their target audiences, implement robust mechanisms to monitor and evaluate their impact and prioritize rigorous data protection and privacy practices.

Task or time? Comparing methods for measuring the gender distribution of work

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
There is growing evidence that gender disparities in the distribution of paid and unpaid work impose constraints on women’s well-being and livelihoods, reducing access to paid employment, and time for education, leisure, and social activities. Yet, gender disparities in unpaid work often go undiagnosed by traditional household surveys. While time-use surveys are well-suited for measuring unpaid work, they are often expensive to administer and take substantial amounts of survey time, leading to respondent fatigue, particularly in multi-topic surveys where other outcomes are also being collected. 

In this paper, we compare data collected using the task allocation module in the Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA) integrated household survey and the time-use module in the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) survey. We begin by describing the methods used to collect the data in each of the surveys. We present an overview of the characteristics of the study sites in the TAFSSA integrated survey and sites in the same countries where the WEAI data were collected. We then present comparable data from each of the two methods. The findings confirm the gendered patterns in involvement in different activities as measured by both survey modules. While women’s participation in agricultural activities is high across Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, the amount of time they spend on agricultural activities is less than that spent by men. Both survey tools confirm that women undertake most of the food preparation-related activities, and men contribute through shopping/purchasing food.

A biophysical suitability model to identify best areas for the cultivation of potential cash crops: The case of basil in Valle del Cauca

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
CONTEXT
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) cultivation in Colombia has increased exponentially since 2006 (over 41-fold in relation to 2020), driven by a favorable export market. It is a particularly promising crop for creating livelihood opportunities in the region, especially for vulnerable populations such as victims of forced displacement and single mothers. Basil cultivation can foster economic empowerment, strengthen the community social fabric, and support sustainable development. Based on previous studies, Valle del Cauca has suitable soil and climatic conditions for this crop, making it one of the country's most promising regions for its cultivation.

OBJECTIVE
Our study aimed to create a model to identify biophysically suitable zones in Valle del Cauca for basil cultivation.

METHODS
We used a variety of techniques for our model. First, we conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify the criteria for the biophysical suitability model. We then used a multi-criteria analysis methodology to evaluate the weight of each criterion, indicating its relative importance for the crop. We subsequently applied the Suitable Crop Location Index (SCLI) using spatial analysis techniques to generate a suitability map, illustrating the most suitable areas for basil cultivation. Lastly, we conducted a sensitivity analysis to identify the critical factors and the model's stability. We used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools that integrated fuzzy suitability functions and aptitude criteria weighting, drawing on the Analytical Hierarchical Process. Our model explored a primary and a secondary scenario to assess the suitable areas in the event of average and 75% rainfall exceedance.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Our study model identified the southern part of the department as the most suitable for basil production, particularly the municipalities of Cali and Jamundí. These areas, currently used primarily for sugarcane cultivation, offer 161,052 ha of suitable land (categorized as good and very good), accounting for 5% of the territory studied.

SIGNIFICANCE
While the model could be further refined by considering the socioeconomic and ecosystem information, this study provides valuable information for decision-makers, producer associations, and organizations interested in promoting, investing in, and establishing basil production as a commercially viable crop, by facilitating the identification of the most suitable cultivation areas for its production.

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dcterms.abstract[].value
Oxidation of vegetable oils is a phenomenon that alters the nutritional value of the oil and produces unpleasant flavors, it is also the main factor limiting the quality of vegetable oils during storage. Synthetic antioxidants (SA) are known for their performance to improve vegetable oil oxidative stability. However, owing to their harmful effects on human health, the edible oil industry is seeking safe and healthy natural antioxidants. Indeed, such natural antioxidants, recovered from different plant matrices, demonstrate a potential effect, even better than SA in some cases, to preserve oils from oxidation and to satisfy consumer demand for natural foods. The enrichment of these oils using antioxidants from natural sources is proposed as a solution. Starting with a literature search using “enrich”, “oxidation”, “shelf-life”, “extract”, “antioxidant”, and “aromatic and medicinal plant” as keywords, the present paper provides a detailed overview of all extraction techniques for bioactive compounds and possible methods for enriching vegetable oil mentioning the advantages and drawbacks of each one.

This document outlines the strategic agreements achieved through a consultation and discussion process aimed at building a Public Interest Digital Infrastructure (IDIP) within the Honduran coffee sector. Key stakeholders, including coffee producers, exporters, and representatives from governmental and non-governmental organizations, engaged in consultations prior to a workshop to identify and understand their perspectives and expectations. These preparatory consultations were vital to ensure that the workshop addressed pertinent concerns and facilitated outcome-oriented discussions. The principles established herein emphasize the need for transparent, accessible, and understandable regulations from the European Union to ensure the effectiveness, safety, and fairness of the IDIP. The document also highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder governance and an integrated platform for effective data management and resource optimization. Ultimately, this document serves as a testament to the commitment and collaboration among all participants, reflecting a significant step towards strengthening the Honduran coffee sector through the deployment of public interest digital infrastructures. This consensus aims to lay the groundwork for future actions, improve coordination, and enhance the efficiency in developing solutions that encompass all facets of the industry, thereby ensuring a lasting positive impact.
