“…In the assessment of the effect of IFNFAs on household consumption, we opt for an instrumental variable approach to deal with the potential endogeneity between IFNFAs and consumption used as a proxy of household welfare (see Hadush, 2019). This is initially formulated in the following model:where i,j are respectively households and consumption indicators.…”

PurposeThis study investigates how income from non-farm activities affects households' consumption in two land holders' groups: households with insecure land holding and households with secure land holding.Design/methodology/approachFollowing an instrumental variable approach, this study analyzes data collected on a nationwide sample of 1,800 households in rural Burkina Faso.FindingsFor insecure land holders' group, this study finds that income from non-farm activities has a positive effect on household consumption per capita. Moreover, the share of household food consumption is negatively associated with non-farm income in this group. For secure land holders' group, the results show that non-farm income has only a negative effect on the share of their food consumption.Originality/valueThe study highlights the livelihood sustaining role of non-farm activities for rural households. Unlike previous studies, the results show that non-farm income is particularly important for land tenure insecure households facing risk of losing agricultural income.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-05-2023-0423

“…Todavia, requer proximidade geográfica, maior protagonismo dos consumidores na relação com produtores e políticas públicas adaptadas ao contexto local. No outro ponto, Hadush (2018), em estudo na Etiópia, verificou relação direta entre escassez de recursos hídricos e elevação no custo per capita dos alimentos consumidos, afetando negativamente o bem-estar e a segurança alimentar das famílias.…”

Este estudo aborda os desafios da integração da pesquisa e ensino, a partir da extensão universitária, como uma estratégia importante para materializar a qualidade da formação acadêmica em Administração em direção aos objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável (ODS). A ação de extensão, objeto de estudo, é desenvolvida pelo Departamento de Ciências Administrativas e Departamento de Administração Pública e Gestão Social da UFRN em colaboração com outros departamentos e campi da mesma instituição. O desenvolvimento da ação se deu na Associação da comunidade indígena dos Mendonça do Amarelão, no município de João Câmara/RN. Objetivou-se, a partir da ação de extensão desenvolvida, compreender como as situações-problemas são formuladas para parceira universidade-sociedade em busca do desenvolvimento sustentável via projetos de pesquisa, e como essas ações retroalimentam o sistema de ensino. A investigação ocorreu por meio da pesquisa-ação (THIOLLENT, 2003) e abordagem qualitativa na análise dos dados. A sistematização dos problemas e necessidades comuns (comunidade-universidade) levou a um tema central sob o qual foi construída a ação: a gestão de circuitos curtos de produção, com ênfase a alcançar a soberania e segurança alimentar e nutricional, promover a agricultura sustentável e assegurar padrões de produção e de consumo sustentáveis. Percebeu-se que a comunidade é orientada para a valorização, reconhecimento e preservação dos recursos locais, importante à efetivação dos ODS. Neste sentido, além da própria condição dos povos indígenas, como aquelas relacionadas ao território, há entraves locais relacionados à gestão da capacidade produtiva e organização da produção, burocráticos, comerciais e de gênero, que impactam na sua segurança e soberania alimentar e exigiram debate interdisciplinar, com vários campos do saber, e docentes envolvidos com as necessidades atuais da sociedade para alinhá-las ao ambiente de ensino e com questões de investigação na proposição de encaminhamentos necessárias ao desenvolvimento técnico-cientifico e cultural e à formação cidadã do graduando da UFRN, destacando a atividade de extensão como elo integrador entre a pesquisa e o ensino, e possibilitando a construção de uma proposta interdisciplinar unificada que reconhece a educação como uma prática emancipatória e contínua do ser humano.

“…Several studies conducted in the country indicated that conflict and drought factors, such as land size, dependency ratio, credit services, family size, household assets, number of livestock, fertilizer usage, employment, household head age, sex, education, and social protection program (26, 27), can affect the household's food security (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). For food insecure countries, including Ethiopia, with the advantage of the two greatest potential resources, i.e., "the people and the productive land and water, " efficient usage of these resources by investing both people and productivity can mitigate the food security problem (1,35,36).…”

BackgroundFood insecurity and vulnerability in Ethiopia are historical problems due to natural- and human-made disasters, which affect a wide range of areas at a higher magnitude with adverse effects on the overall health of households. In Ethiopia, the problem is wider with higher magnitude. Moreover, this geographical distribution of this challenge remains unexplored regarding the effects of cultures and shocks, despite previous case studies suggesting the effects of shocks and other factors. Hence, this study aims to assess the geographic distribution of corrected-food insecurity levels (FCSL) across zones and explore the comprehensive effects of diverse factors on each level of a household's food insecurity.MethodThis study analyzes three-term household-based panel data for years 2012, 2014, and 2016 with a total sample size of 11505 covering the all regional states of the country. An extended additive model, with empirical Bayes estimation by modeling both structured spatial effects using Markov random field or tensor product and unstructured effects using Gaussian, was adopted to assess the spatial distribution of FCSL across zones and to further explore the comprehensive effect of geographic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors on the locally adjusted measure.ResultDespite a chronological decline, a substantial portion of Ethiopian households remains food insecure (25%) and vulnerable (27.08%). The Markov random field (MRF) model is the best fit based on GVC, revealing that 90.04% of the total variation is explained by the spatial effects. Most of the northern and south-western areas and south-east and north-west areas are hot spot zones of food insecurity and vulnerability in the country. Moreover, factors such as education, urbanization, having a job, fertilizer usage in cropping, sanitation, and farming livestock and crops have a significant influence on reducing a household's probability of being at higher food insecurity levels (insecurity and vulnerability), whereas shocks occurrence and small land size ownership have worsened it.ConclusionChronically food insecure zones showed a strong cluster in the northern and south-western areas of the country, even though higher levels of household food insecurity in Ethiopia have shown a declining trend over the years. Therefore, in these areas, interventions addressing spatial structure factors, particularly urbanization, education, early marriage control, and job creation, along with controlling conflict and drought effect by food aid and selected coping strategies, and performing integrated farming by conserving land and the environment of zones can help to reduce a household's probability of being at higher food insecurity levels.
