“…Ninh (2020) and Roches et al (2016) revealed that education influences farmers' ability to use new technologies, facilitate access to market information, and improve livestock management. The main income for farmers is the sales of their animal livestock; thus they develop rearing plans to maximize earnings (Akouegnonhou and Demirbas 2021). Swine farming is economically profitable if the production costs can be minimized (Bjornlunc et al 2019); therefore, farmers can use household organic waste for feed to feed efficiently.…”

Abstract. Keray AS, Widiati R, Kusumastuti TA. 2024. The role of local pigs for economic and socio-cultural in East Flores District, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 214-222. This study was conducted to identify the cultural activities related to swine rearing in East Flores District and analyze the decision making in choosing the types of rearing practice. Based on the survey using questionnaires from 120 pig farmers, which was conducted purposive, were those who had at least three sows for breeding, fattening with five heads of pigs, and combined with sows and sires. To identify the role of local pigs, as many as 3 informants consist of traditional leaders, farmers, and Agriculture Extension Officers, and analyzed by multinomial logistic regression model. The results showed that the traditional rituals that required the sacrifice of pigs included the ceremonies marking the start of building residential and traditional community buildings and dowry (belis) presentation in a wedding ceremony. The decision-making in choosing the rearing practice was influenced by pig ownership, care system (P<0.01), and income (P<0.05). Farmers who have small scale will choose extensive and fattening systems to reduce feed costs. Those practicing breeding are still maintaining local breeds because traditional rituals require it. Further efforts are needed to increase the populations of local breeds as well as cross-bred pigs to maintain the ceremonies in traditional rituals and income generation.

“…As for rural electrification, access to biogas in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa is achieved in the form of PPP, where households order their digester directly from private entrepreneurs. There have been different attempts to expand the development of biogas in rural areas without much success [34], despite its good potential. For example, for a family of 10, the technical potential corresponds to the possibility for households to collect 30 kg of cow dung daily and enough water.…”

Access to clean energy remains a major issue in developing countries, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, despite successive policies and the assistance of international institutions or organizations. The United Nations (UN) launched some of the most ambitious initiatives with the Millennium Development Goals and, more recently, the Sustainable Development Goals and Power Africa, a United States (US) government initiative. Sub-Saharan Africa has an important potential in renewable energy for both biogas and solar photovoltaic energy, but they remain underexploited. This paper presents the challenges of access to clean energy in developing countries and the failure of remedial policies mostly based on public–private partnerships (PPPs) in the context of endemic poverty of rural populations. In addition, the development of modern energy technologies remains very limited. Appropriate reforms should be carried out to change the paradigm and allow universal access to clean energy. This paper also addresses the different structural barriers that hinder access to technology in Sub-Saharan Africa and the consequences of access to clean energy in the context of poverty.

“…Due to the limited number of cattle on their farms, cattle farmers did not earn a substantial income from farming. Akouegnonhou and Demirbaş (2021) stated that livestock farmers make most of their money from selling animals, which usually happens at livestock markets. The amount of money their family earns relies on the number of cattle they own.…”

“…Farmers in rural areas who have extensive experience producing animals can earn significantly more in revenue. It means that a lot of experience with cattle farming could lead to considerable household income (Akouegnonhou and Demirbaş, 2021). The difference seen could be because the settings are in different socioeconomic situations (Seid et al, 2020).…”

B eef cattle farming is an economic activity that provides rural communities with employment opportunities, generates demand (in the form of farm machinery and equipment) and raw materials to industry, and satisfies the dietary needs of the population. In developed and developing economies, perceptions of risk and risk management measures among livestock farmers are seen as crucial (Hayran et al., 2021). All the cattle on farms would be wiped off by disease waves, especially if producers' prevention meas-ures are not maintained. Currently, Anthrax and FMD are becoming a greater issue in Indonesia as the number of cattle killed by Anthrax and FMD increases continuously.In details, Anthranx and FMD is one of the most significant animal diseases producing considerable economic losses in susceptible cloven-hoofed animals at the present time (OIE, 2018). Anthrax is a zoonotic bacterial disease caused by Bacillus anthracis (Hugh-Jones, 2009) while FMD is a highly contagious disease caused by Aphthovirus.
