We analyze and compare impacts of three sustainability oriented standards – Fairtrade, Organic, and UTZ – on the livelihoods of smallholder coffee farmers in Uganda. Using survey data and propensity score matching with multiple treatments, we find that Fairtrade certification increases household living standards by 30% and significantly reduces the prevalence and depth of poverty. For the other two certification schemes, no significant impacts are found. Institutional factors that may explain differential impacts are discussed. Overly general statements about the effects of standards on smallholder livelihoods may be misleading. 000161565 546__ $$aEnglish 000161565 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000161565 650__ $$aCommunity/Rural/Urban Development 000161565 650__ $$aFood Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety 000161565 650__ $$aFood Security and Poverty 000161565 650__ $$aInternational Development 000161565 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000161565 6531_ $$acoffee 000161565 6531_ $$asmallholder farmers 000161565 6531_ $$aOrganic 000161565 6531_ $$aFairtrade 000161565 6531_ $$aimpact 000161565 6531_ $$aUganda 000161565 6531_ $$aAfrica 000161565 700__ $$aChiputwa, Brian 000161565 700__ $$aQaim, Matin 000161565 700__ $$aSpielman, David J. 000161565 8564_ $$930b2dbfa-71ee-4074-91ff-2c9de614f2f6$$s426928$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/161565/files/GlobalFood_DP27.pdf 000161565 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/161565 000161565 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:161565$$pGLOBAL_SET 000161565 912__ $$nSubmitted by Melanie Grosse (mgrosse@gwdg.de) on 2013-12-17T09:51:46Z No. of bitstreams: 1 GlobalFood_DP27.pdf: 426928 bytes, checksum: f603e31c4526ecfc1fae6261824e5fd1 (MD5) 000161565 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2013-12-17T09:51:46Z (GMT).
