Competition between biofuel feedstock and food production: Empirical evidence from sugarcane outgrower settings in Malawi
2018, Biomass and BioenergyCitation Excerpt :This evidence does not suggest any negative effects on food crop production [7]. Comparable studies of cash crop and food production, e.g. on cotton in Zimbabwe [28] or tea and coffee in Kenya [29], have also reported positive intra-household effects on maize yields and positive spillover effects to other farmers. This study contributes to existing literature related to the linkages between biofuel feedstock production and food crop production.
Women's participation in high value agricultural commodity chains in Kenya: Strategies for closing the gender gap
2017, Journal of Rural StudiesCitation Excerpt :Well-functioning factor and product markets can provide the poor, particularly smallholder farmers and the landless, with avenues for wealth creation, thereby expediting food insecurity and poverty alleviation. When markets function well, trade thrives and farmers are able to recoup returns on investment outlays, thus providing an incentive for reinvestment in agriculture (Jayne et al., 2004). In sub-Saharan Africa, markets for agricultural inputs and outputs are often missing or disorganised at best (Poulton et al., 2006; Ashraf et al., 2008).
