“…Since the colonial era, no real reallocation of resources has occurred, as establishing property rights and compensating wealth loss among poor farmers in South Africa has been cumbersome. This is because the relative use of land in developing countries lead to disputes (Fenske 2014). Moreover, little is gained in consumption when farmland is inherited (Lambert et al 2014).…”

This paper examines impacts of appropriate resource allocation on subsistence level output. This study uses a stylized Coase Bargaining model and data from the South African Reserve bank to support the second welfare theorem. Back of the envelope calculations indicate the opportunity cost of manufacturing output has been the 20% discount in agricultural output in South Africa since 1968. This paper offers an exercise that can be implemented in developing nations having institutions resulting in two-sector economies. Moreover, the methods used here will help policy makers to estimate an appropriate value for wealth transfers.

Nutrition, Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change in Africa

Agriculture remains the most dominant socioeconomic sector of the African economy, accounting for over 60% of total job opportunities, in the face of low productivity, minimal value addition capacities, and poor quality among others such that its global agricultural value-added hovers around 2%. This is evident in its high level of food and nutritional insecurity across all agroecological zones in which millions of Africans still live on less than $US2 per day. For most low-income, unemployed and vulnerable farming communities in rural and peri-urban geographies, access to food, especially nutrient dense perishable foods may be undermined. More specifically, approximately 419 million additional people could fall into extreme poverty in 2020, particularly in SSA and South Asia (World Bank 2020). Thus, the study provides compelling evidences to the African Union Commission, its agencies, as well as national governments on targeted support to selected strategic crops in the relevant geographical locations on the continent. In other words, documenting and realizing the impact pathways toward nutritional security and sustainable agri-food outcomes are dynamic, and not linearly associated.
