▼ This study analyzed information-seeking behaviour and adoption of organic .farming practices among vegetable farmers in South-Western Nigeria. This is based on the fact that conventional intensive agricultural systems have side-effects which compromise food production in terms of quality and safety. As a result many are now stating that conventional agriculture represents an unsuitable long-term option. Specifically, the study identified the personal characteristics of the farmers, profile organic farming practices, determined the sources of information about organic agricultural practices, evaluated the attitude of vegetable growers towards organic agriculture, and identified factors that influence farmers' adoption of organic agriculture, estimated the adoption rate for organic agricultural practices and determined the knowledge of value chain among vegetable farmers. The research design of the study is descriptive and quantitative. The population of the study was the entire population of vegetable farmers in /he South Western Nigeria. A cluster sampling technique was used to select 450 farmers covering three out of six states present in South Western Nigeria. Data for this study was generated from primary sources based on the objective of the study. A structured questionnaire consisting of seven sections comprising sections namely: personal characteristics, profile organic farming practices, altitude of vegetable growers towards organic agriculture, factors influencing farmers' adoption of organic agriculture, source of information about organic agricultural practices, intensity of adoption of organic agriculture technologies and knowledge of value chain among vegetable farmers was used to collect data. The questionnaire was face validated by panel of experts on agricultural extension. agronomist and organic agricultural research. Data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 18.0. Descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution and percentages, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the personal characteristics of vegetable farmers. Ranking was used to identify the prominent source of information used by the farmers. Tables were used to analyze the data and enhance the readability of the results. The statistical tools used in the analysis are probit model, ordinal regression model and linear regression model. The results showed that majority of the respondents were male between 40 and 49 years of age married and had family household sizes of 6 to 10 members. Most of the farmers possess secondary education as their highest educational qualification; they also have a working experience of 1-15 years. The results further showed that the farm size ranges between 0. 5-3.4 acres (80.4%): and most commonly used organic farming practices are tillage (80. 9%), crop rotation (80.7%). sanitation (69.8%), and inter-cropping (66.2%), and green manure (60.9%) cover crop (55.8%), and .fire (53. 6%).

▼ Conservation Farming (CF) practices and Animal draught power (ADP) have been promoted for years in Zambia and the rest of sub-Sahara Africa. CF has the potential to improve soil quality and raise farm incomes despite the variable climatic conditions. ADP is considered the least expensive form of mechanisation among smallholder farmers who cannot afford tractors. This study focused on the determination of the factors affecting the adoption of minimum tillage technology of ripping (MTR) and ADP among smallholder farmers in Zambia. It uses panel data from the Rural Agricultural Livelihoods Survey (RALS) conducted by the Indaba Agricultural Policy Research Institute (IAPRI) in 2012 and 2015 in Zambia. The pooled sample used in the current study consists of 14,213 households broken down as 7,130 and 7,083 for the RALS of 2012 and 2015 respectively. The study also examined the extent to which adopters of MTR use ripping with ADP. Moreover, the Correlated Random Effects (CRE) estimator was used to estimate the unconditional average partial effects (APEs) in order to explore the within and between household effects on the hectares ripped. This analysis paved way for more robust results and determined the changes in the hectares ripped within a given household overtime and between households in a given period. These unconditional APEs were then compared with the unconditional APEs from the pooled estimator, that is, without the CRE estimator. Descriptive statistics indicated that use of ADP, ADP hire, partial CF adoption and non-adoption of CF changed between 2012 and 2015 by 40.3 to 43.8%, 16.8 to 19.8%, 6.2 to 5.8% and 89.8 to 89.2% respectively. This showed an increase in ADP use and ADP hire but reduction in partial CF. Gender aspects indicated that females hired ADP more than men while more men used ADP than women. Factors found to positively influence the adoption of ADP include male headed households, labour availability, ownership of a ripper and access to loans. Compared to those with no education, Primary, secondary and tertiary education of the household head had negative effects on the adoption of ADP. The distance to nearest seller of veterinary products also had a negative effect on the adoption of ADP. For farmers that adopt MTR and use ADP, ownership of a ripper, distance to the nearest seller of veterinary products, CF advice, price of fertilizer per kg and loan access were positive. Moreover, the age, labour availability, hectares cultivated, Tropical livestock units and distance to the nearest agro dealer had negative effects on the adoption of MTR for farmers with ADP. For the extent of adoption of ripping for farmers with ADP, the CF advice, hectares cultivated and the gender of the household head had positive effects while the distance to the nearest agriculture camp office, and primary education had negative effects. The pooled triple hurdle model was less robust compared to the CRE triple hurdle model. All variables used in this analysis were found significant in determining the mean level of…

▼ This dissertation examines the policies of the colonial and Zambian governments on peasant farming schemes in Lundazi District. I discuss the formulation, implementation and results of these policies from 1954 to 1976. These governments provided considerable financial and technical assistance in the hope of transforming agriculture from subsistence to commercial production. I have also looked at how markets played a positive role in expanding agriculture in an area which had been considered backward for a long time. With credit and technical facilities at the disposal of the peasants, agricultural production changed because of use of ploughs and tractors in place of a hoe. From 1954 to 1963, I have shown how the colonial administration concentrated on peasant farming schemes with a few selected settlers, neglecting the majority of the community in the district. I have shown how colonial technical and credit servi8ces created a socio-economic differentiation between the peasants on the schemes and those in the surrounding villages. Even among the settlers themselves, such differentiation was prevalent resulting in a few of them becoming richer than the majority. The differentiation was seen in the style of life each of them led. Some settlers, through the accumulation of wealth, put up reasonable houses which were comparable to those in towns. They also acquired tractors, more cattle, radios, bicycles, grinding mills, shops and vehicles. Their styles of dress improved. They adopted modern and sophisticated techniques of farming such as crop rotation, use of kraal and compost manure.From 1964 to 1976, agriculture became more developed under the Zambian Government. While advocating the development of settlement schemes, the government policy incorporated the village farmers in peasant farming. Credit and technical assistance was open to everyone without discrimination.This was a reversal of the colonial administration policy which discriminated against village based farmers. Some peasants, both on the schemes and surrounding villages, increased their agricultural incomes. Agriculture was becoming more and more scientific and mechanized than during the colonial period especially with the wide use of chemical fertilisers after 1964. The Zambian government was therefore bridging the gap between the settlers on the schemes and the village farmers. It was at this stage that post independence loans had affected the rural locals economy. The government was able to rescue the farmers from several finance burdens. It created institutions like the Credit Organisation of Zambia (COZ) which was replaced by Agricultural Finance Company in 1970. These institutions gave soft loans to farmers. The Zambian government did not only concentrate on the production of a few exportable crops as was with the colonial administration. It diversified its economy by growing a variety of crops. In the end it is shown that agricultural production had improved significantly increased local population through the reduction of malnutrition among a…

▼ The adoption of conservation agriculture is increasingly becoming important in southern Africa to sustainably increase food security, manage degraded lands and increasing resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. The practices is relevant to the smallholder farming systems of Zimbabwe where productivity is constrained by lack of access to agricultural inputs, decline in soil fertility and increasing rainfall variability. However despite years of research and extension, the adoption of the practice is very limited and piecemeal in Zimbabwe. Therefore, the main objective of the research was to get an in depth understanding of the barriers to adoption of conservation agriculture in Zimbabwe with specific reference to smallholder farmers. The study employed participatory approaches to collect data in Chivi, Murehwa and Mutoko districts. A pre - tested questionnaire was administered to three selected wards in each of the three district. The questionnaire was triangulated through focus group discussions, key informant interviews and personal observations in order to enhance the richness of our findings. Household survey data was analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Scientists and Statistical Analysis Software, while information obtained during key informant interviews and focus discussions was analysed through thematic analysis. Our results revealed that despite agriculture contributing to the livelihoods of the majority of the smallholder farmers, less than 10 % of the respondents had any formal agricultural training. On the other hand, the level of knowledge on conservation agriculture was high amongst the respondents. However, the non - adopters had an indifferent perception about the technology. The significant (P < 0.05) explanatory variables of the knowledge attribute were age, gender, education, visit to demonstration centres and years of practicing the technology, while the perception attribute was explained by age, gender, education, visit to demo sites, experience in conservation agriculture and agriculture. On the other hand, we found a weak but significant correlation between knowledge and perception (Rs = 0.36, P < 0.05), knowledge and adoption (Rs = 0.484, P < 0.05) but strong and significant correlation between perception and adoption (Rs = 0.808, P < 0.05). The later points to a very important point, that adoption of conservation agriculture can be improved by increasing positive perception of the farmers towards the technology. We also found out that the respondents adopted conservation agriculture through the knowledge (mean score of 2.13; standard error = 0.043)) and compliance (mean score of 2.02; standard error = 0.043) pathways. The explanatory variables of the knowledge pathway were education, experience in agriculture, agricultural training and visit to demonstration centers while the gender of the household was the significant variable in explaining the compliance pathway. The study also investigated access to equipment by smallholder farmers. The results indicate that the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mafongoya, Paramu L. (advisor).

The research was carried out in conjunction with the commercially run Teagasc Hill Sheep Farm, Leenaun, Co. Mayo and with Met Éireann. The aim was to enhance habitat status and to maximise biodiversity conservation in the upland landscape of western Ireland through more evidence-based agricultural policies that are designed to maintain and improve agricultural productivity. Field data on vegetation frequency and composition over periods of 5 to 17 years, satellite tracking (GPS) of sheep and longterm trends in wind-driven rain were analysed. Vegetation frequency increased from a baseline of 64% in 1995 to 82% in 2008 at a mean annual stocking rate of 0.76 ewes/ha. Soil differences were responsible for most of the significant changes. Grazing reduced vegetation height by half, from 40 to 20 cm, thus opening the canopy and allowing an increase in species diversity in a number of instances. Long-term habitat exclosures revealed that grazing resulted in increased species diversity in acid grassland and lowland blanket bog and a significant increase in the frequency of sedges in all habitats. Winter grazing only, at 0.6 ewes/ha, which represents an annual stocking rate of 0.76 ewes/ha, was the most beneficial for total vegetation frequency and that of individual communities. Implementation of this management system would require substantial additional financial outlay. Restricted, temporary holding areas for animals resulted in substantial changes in vegetation composition but not in frequency. Average daily trekking by GPS tracked hill ewes varied from 2 to 3 km, which, at the present stocking rate, represented a mean daily trampling pressure of c. 2 km/ha. This pressure may be 5 to 10 times greater in areas preferred by sheep, which is why increasing trends, from 1950 to 2009, in aspects of wind-driven rain that are associated with peat erosion, are of serious concern. Regular monitoring of vegetation height by physiography and altitude is a key factor in appropriate grazing management. The development and introduction of wireless fencing together with sensors that attract rather than repel animals are necessary to achieve more even grazing pressure in a free-range grazing environment. Due to the likely synergy between increasing trends in certain aspects of wind-driven rain and peat erosion in areas of concentrated sheep activity, an early warning system similar to that for potato blight must be established.

▼ Advances in digital technologies are transforming the agriculture and agri-food system. The technological changes are represented in many forms, ranging from software-based prescriptions for optimal rate application of farm inputs, advanced imagery of fields and plants collected by sensors, satellites and drones, to new forms of human-to-machine interactions and machine learning This thesis is a case study of one type of a smart farming innovation, a field robot., originating from a small-to-medium sized enterprise (SME) that designs and manufacturers machinery used in broadacre, conservation tillage farming. The innovation, known as DOT™, is an entrepreneur’s response to problems in the agriculture industry, and a solution to a critical constraint of labour shortages in the sector. By gathering qualitative data through interviews, news items and academic publications, observing the farming community’s engagement with digital technology innovation at farm show, and applying the Innovation Opportunity Space (IOS) analytical framework, this study identified that an autonomous DOT™ offers a solution for farming problems. Other firms are incorporating the DOT™ technology into their manufacturing operations through licensing agreements and early farmer adoption is positive. The process of innovation was based on synthesis of tacit knowledge (experience-based knowledge of farming and agribusiness) and codified knowledge (drawing on computer programing), while public policy facilitated the hiring of trained university students who remain with the SME as advocates for smart farming. There remain some gaps: public policy for safe deployment of smart farming innovation is lagging behind invention and commercialization; new business models for manufacture and commercialization of high-tech equipment are just emerging and data ownership and control remains unresolved; and evidence of the value of smart farming technologies to farmers and the larger social system remains scant.

▼ The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the physicochemical and bacteriological water quality aspect of Lake Ziway in relation to Fish Farming. On global scale water pollution, i.e. microbial water pollution, pose the greatest problem. Chemical pollution is also of a great concern. Twenty grab samples from twenty sampling site ten from the surface and ten from the bottom were collected using Kemmerer volume sampler. A total of sixty samples were collected and analyzed for physicochemical, bacteriological, and heavy metal using standard methods. COD result showed a maximum value of 3500mg/l and minimum value of 110 mg/l. Similarly BOD5 ranges from189.81mg/l to 8.57 mg/l. The temperature of this lake is in between 20 and 23 °C. Dissolved Oxygen is found to be 6.7 to 10.05 mg/l. The lake is well-oxygenated, which a sign of healthy lake. At almost all sampling sites NH3 is greater than 0.4 mg/l. The minimum value of Turbidity, Total Solids, and Total dissolved Solids, and Electrical Conductivity is 62mg/l, 356 mg/l, 251 mg/l and 251 m s/cm, while the maximum value is 596mg/l, 462 mg/l, 304 mg/l, and 458 m s/cm, respectively. The pH of Lake Ziway is nearly alkaline (with a pH greater than 8 in almost all sample sites). TN is found to be greater than TP. The concentration of (Chloride) Cl- is similar along the lakes in all sample sites with a value greater than 14mg/l in all sites being sampled. The range of concentration of heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Zn, Pb, Al, Mn, Ni, and Cu is, 0.3538mg/l, 0.295mg/l, 0.0083mg/l, 0.636mg/l, 1.862mg/l, 0.0828mg/l, 0.0018mg/l, and 0.0012mg/l respectively. This study indicated that, there is an increment of nutrient input into this fresh lake system. This may result in the Eutrophication of the lake and consequently deterioration of the water quality in the future. Hence, urgent action is required for the sustainable use of the Lake, before its quality goes behind the turning point. Advisors/Committee Members: Tigistu Ergosha (advisor).

▼ This dissertation deals with the transforming power of urbanization and its contemporaneous challenges and uncertainties among a farming community that has recently been included in a newly established urban center in Ethiopia. Selected informants from the farming community, government line departments, and some concerned individuals in the private development projects were consulted to generate the qualitative data through focus group discussions, in-depth interview, and observations. In addition, a survey was carried out to fetch some relevant quantitative data to support the qualitative data. For this purpose, 178 households filled in a questionnaire consisting of 36 questions with both close and open-ended questions. There are several findings observed in this study. It has been found out that, pertaining to Ethiopian land policy and how a single change, change in land ownership, has affected the livelihood of many the farmers who have been living on farming for several generations. This dissertation contends that land dispossession has been perpetuating in all the regimes since the coming of the non-Oromo groups to the present location of Addis Ababa and its surrounding. At the same time, it is found out that the number of actors who play legal and visible roles and illegal and invisible roles in land market is increasing. It is also found out that urbanization has transformed the use of land as well as the living conditions of individuals. The study has shown that the change in land ownership has resulted in the emergence of two competing perceptions for land resource (land as a source of life and land as a source of money) together with subsequent resistances and struggle between the old and the new comers. In addition, the cultural meaning that the farming community attaches to the urban development processes and to the government agents is skeptical. The farmers’ adaptive strategies to the opportunities and challenges of the new urban context are found to be individual-oriented and not supported by a well established system of government. Based on the opinions of the informants, there are some sounding alternatives suggested to help the community better adapt to the new opportunities and challenges in the urbanization process Advisors/Committee Members: Brigitta Benzing(PhD) Assefa Tolera(PhD) (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing performance of poultry farming projects in Kericho West Sub-County, Kericho County. The study was guided by the following objectives to assess the extent to which the level of education of the farmer influences performance of poultry projects, to establish the extent to which market factor influences performance of poultry projects, to establish how access to credit facilities performance of poultry projects and to determine the extent to which availability of extension services influences performance of poultry farming projects in Kericho West Sub County, Kericho County. Basic assumption of the study was that all the respondents was cooperative and provided reliable responses through the questionnaires given: that the sample used was a true representation of the poultry farming in Kericho West Sub-County. The study was related to the theory of attribution which is a collection of interrelated ideas based on theories attempting to clarify why things are the way they are. The study adopted descriptive survey design to obtain information to describe the existing phenomena. Stratified sampling was used since the target population was distributed without the section of the locality; the study of the poultry farmers of Kericho West Sub County whose population is estimated to be two hundred and twelve (212) and five (5) extension staff officers. The sample size was 30% of the target population. The data and information from the respondents was gathered by use of the questionnaire. A pilot study was conducted using pre-test method to test the viability and reliability of questionnaires administered. The hypothesis was tested to determine the relationship between independent and dependent variables using pearson chi-square at 95% level of confidence. The relationship between level of education, market factors, access to credit facilities and availability of extension services and its influence on performance of poultry farming projects in Kericho West Sub- County was tested. The significant findings of this study showed that level of education, market factors, access to credit facilities and availability of extension services influences performance of poultry farming projects Kericho West Sub-County. The importance of the study was to help the farmers understand relationship between project growth on one hand and training, education, access to credit and market on the other hand. The government will also find the result of this study useful for economic planners who require knowledge and adaptive strategies for poultry farming. The findings may also be used as a basis for further research with the aim of increasing performance of poultry farming projects in Kericho County.

▼ It was hypothesized that cultivation of cash crops by smallholder farmers was likely to alter their food sufficiency positions from their farm production. The study centered on the theme of allocation of farm-level factors of production and how farmers strived to counter-balance them in pursuit of both market and subsistence production. The study also examined how agricultural policies tended to favour cash crop production. The study reflects the outcome of contradictions between traditional subsistence and modern market-oriented ideas about farming, superimposed on a social and economic structure that is ill equipped to take new developments. The imbalances emanating from the attempts to straddle between market and subsistence production reflect intricacies generated by everyday simple happenings in small holders' agriculture. They succumb to the pressure especially on land and labour, two very crucial facets of their economy. The minimal concentration on subsistence production affects the life of the farmer as a whole. The quantities of food production suffer at the hands of the market economy. Food deficiencies and unequal exchange eventually become prominent features of the« agriculture. The study's theoretical orientation focuses on the question of capitalist expansion and its effects on peasant modes of production. The trend of development through processes of market production has wrought adverse effects on peasant's subsistence production. Since their search for livelihoods in the changed situation must necessarily be within the context of exchange economy, it becomes essential to focus on how their agriculture is constrained by the ecology, hence utilization of the theory of intensification. Several recommendations are submitted as remedial measure in so far as correcting the imbalances registered in the production processes a re concerned. The recommendations underlie the need to approach rural development planning with a fuller knowledge of the potentials and internal dynamics of smallholder agriculture.

▼ The purpose of this work was to identify, examine, and compare the key performance indicators and drivers of success of pasture-based dairy systems in New Zealand and Chile. Key similarities and differences between dairy farming systems in these countries were identified by analysing data provided by DairyBase and, its Chilean counterpart, TodoagroBase. Comparable observations were nested using country-specific classification systems based on existing knowledge, followed by the estimation of efficiency scores for each individual observation within these classes using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Efficiency scores were then attached to the original datasets and used as the response variable in several country-specific Regression Partitioning Trees. This procedure identified the most relevant benchmarks in each country and showed that there are various pathways to high efficiency. Knowledge gains provided by this research are expected to influence farming practices and management, research and extension, and to encourage future cooperation between the two countries. Dairy farmers in New Zealand and Chile benefit from low-cost production advantages because of their favourable environment for pasture-based dairying, efficiently and profitably producing milk at a lower cost than the world’s average. However, a large variability in farming systems within the countries was identified, as were different benchmarks. In New Zealand, herd productivity and labour played key roles in defining efficiency, while in Chile, herd productivity and supplements fed per litre of milk produced were key indicators explaining efficiency. In New Zealand, operating cost per kg of milk solids, return on Assets (ROA), operating profit margin (OPM), operating profit per hectare, and asset turnover (ATR) were also major indicators. In Chile, gross farm revenue per cow, cost of production per litre of milk produced, wages per litre, operating profit per cow and ATR were also highlighted. The absence of indicators such as ROA in Chile was noticeable. Reasons for different key performance indicators occurring in each country stem from history to geography, and have resulted in differences in values and goals. New Zealand farmers are profitability and cost-focused, looking alternatively to both OPM and the capital invested. Chilean farmers are revenue-focused and respond strongly to milk:feed price ratio and to the efficiency in the use of supplement. In both countries, the systems are evolving in similar ways, gradually increasing intensification levels and specialisation. In both countries, consistently high performing farms are efficient at producing both milk and revenue, and are more likely to have higher herd productivity and labour efficiency than poorer performers. In New Zealand, consistently efficient farms also had significantly better asset use as reflected by their ROA and ATR. In Chile better performers used significantly less supplement per litre of milk produced.

▼ The agricultural sector continues to stimulate economic growth for developing economies. This phenomenon relates to South Africa, where agriculture plays a crucial role in livelihood creation and economic growth in the country’s rural areas. Smallholder farmers are drivers of many economies in Africa, even though their potential is often overlooked. South Africa’s rural development framework in the National Development Plan (NDP) shows that smallholder agriculture has a prospective role in developing the country’s rural economy. However, rural households continue to derive a small proportion of their livelihoods directly from agriculture because of a number of constraints. This study, on smallholders in KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, investigated the constraints they face and their effects on farm production, as well as the factors influencing their choice of farming practices. The main question is whether or not smallholder agriculture can significantly contribute to economic development in poor rural households. Data were drawn from a sample of 400 farmers in Ndwedwe and Umzimkhulu Local Municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal province, using a structured questionnaire. Farmers were selected using multistage randomised sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used to explain farm level characteristics. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to transform a set of inter-related variables into core uncorrelated factors. The Tobit regression model was used in assessing the determinants of production constraints faced by smallholder farmers and their effect on agricultural production, while the multinomial logistic (MNL) regression model was used to examine and identify the factors influencing farmers’ choice of farming practices. The study findings revealed that smallholder farmers faced limited access to agricultural land and farm services in and/or out for the farm, e.g. produce markets, infrastructure, credit facilities and extension. The estimated results of the Tobit model showed that farm level characteristics statistically and significantly influenced the production constraints in KwaZulu-Natal and the measures needed to improve smallholder agricultural production include easing access to agricultural land, credit facilities, extension and markets, in order to encourage farm innovation through the adoption of improved farming practices. The common farming practices of choice were subsistence crop farming, improved crop farming and mixed farming. The estimated results of the MNL model showed that the common choice of farming practices was statistically and significantly influenced by various factors, which included total land size, type of land, market access, household size, education level and age of the household head. The study concluded that smallholders seek to increase agricultural production in order to improve their livelihoods. It recommends that, given the constraints they are facing, strategic measures to increase access to agricultural land and farm services in and/or out of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mudhara, Maxwell.

▼ Although the general view is that biology is the easiest science subject to learn, examination results have shown that many pupils fail biology at end of grade 12. The purpose of the study was therefore to investigate the nature and causes of learning difficulties pupils experience in biology in high schools of Samfya district. This study was guided by the following questions: 1.What learning difficulties do pupils experience in high school biology? 2. Why do pupils experience these learning difficulties? 3.How can these learning difficulties be minimized?A descriptive survey design was used and data were obtained from eighty grade 12 pupils and ten biology teachers using Interview Schedules and Self completion questionnaires. Simple random sampling was used to select the sample from the target population. Data collected were analysed using the content analysis approach. The study found that pupils experienced difficulties in the following aspects such as biological terms, biological diagrams, plotting and interpreting graphs, calculations involving magnification and practical activities. Factors identified to have caused learning difficulties in biology included; non-availability of some reagents to be used in practical lessons, poor English back ground by some pupils, failure by teachers to explain clearly to pupils biological concepts, belief by some pupils that biology was difficult to learn, lack of appropriate learning aids and inadequate time allocated to the wide biology syllabus.It was recommended among others that chemicals for various practical activities be bought by schools in adequate amounts so that teachers can use them during lessons and that pupils be given assignments involving both drawings and written tasks. Biology teachers should teach learners the various meanings and interpretations of words and phrases that occur in the biology vocabulary. Teacher training institutions must prepare biology teachers effectively. Adequate time must be allocated to the teaching of biology. There is need to review the biology syllabus and reduce the content so that more time is given to experimental work.

▼ The development and promotion of conservation farming (CF) practices has been an important component of many rural development projects in Africa and their adoption has varied across the continent. This study focuses on determining the impact of CF and its main components: crop rotation, residue retention and minimum tillage. It uses 2008 supplemental survey data collected by Food Security Research Project (FSRP)/Central Statistical Office (CSO)/Ministry of Agriculture and Co-operatives (MACO). The study utilizes propensity score matching methods and a simultaneous equations model with endogenous switching to account for the heterogeneity in the decision to adopt CF practices and for unobservable characteristics of smallholder farmers and their farms. Propensity score matching method was used so as to obtain matched observations of adopters and non-adopters based on their observable characteristics.Results suggest that adopters of CF realized more income per hectare than they would have had they not adopted the technology. However,non-adopters realized lower household income per hectare than they would have had they decided not to adopt CF. In case of crop rotation, smallholder farm households that adopted crop rotation actually realized more household income per hectare than they would have if they did not adopt while non-adopters of crop rotation would be better off if they adopted crop rotation than they are. Smallholder farm households that adopted residue retention realized more household income per hectare than they would if they did not adopt residue retention. But non-adopters of residue retention would be worse off had they adopted. This is attributed to unobserved heterogeneity that may affect adoption of these practices. For minimum tillage, it is found that both its adopters and non-adopters would respectively have realized more household income per hectare had both groups decided not to adopt it. A comparison of the impacts of CF practices showed that crop rotation is associated with more household income per hectare than other practices while minimum tillage decreases household incomes for smallholder farm households in Zambia. One reason attributed to the negative impact of minimum tillage is that majority of households that adopted it are located in agro-ecological region III, that receives excessive amounts of rainfall and thus minimum tillage is not recommended in the area. The study recommends increased efforts to promote CF practices; crop rotation and residue retention in Zambia. The study also suggests that promotion of minimum tillage in Zambia should be increased in agro-ecological regions I and II where it is suitable

▼ Zambia is currently pursuing the agricultural market reforms necessitated by a deteriorating economic situation. This study examined how small-scale farmers in Chisamba area have responded to the problems of maize marketing failures.The studies that have been done on the problems small-scale farmers face have not highlighted as to whether farmers have formed farmers groups to strengthen their bargaining position in negotiating for better prices for maize or whether farmers have crop diversified to high value crops to overcome maize marketing problems. A survey was conducted in which 124 farmers were interviewed. The data were analyzed using SPSS which generated descriptive statistics.From the study it was found that small-scale farmers have by far and large responded favorably to the problems of maize marketing failures. Of the 124 farmers interviewed 108 (87%) of them belong to farmer groups. However, farmers are only using these farmer groups to buy cheap input and not to sale their produce. In addition to that 110 (89%) farmers are crop diversifying their crop base into high value crops (such as cotton, sunflower, paprika and soybeans) which have ready market from private sector.In view of these findings, the study recommended that small-scale farmers may be better off focusing their efforts to growing crops that are on demand rather than putting more efforts on increasing the production of unprofitable crops like maize. Since the marketing of maize is currently problematic, it is suggested that extension workers should encourage small-scale farmers to give first priority to crops like sunflower, cotton and soybeans. This is because these crops have a reliable marketing support system through private sector-driven contract farming. Further, the government and NGOs involved in agriculture should impart marketing skills to small-scale farmers. This will enable small-scale farmers find markets for their produce before they engage themselves in producing products that at the end of the day will not be sold.In addition, consolidation of agricultural reforms in Zambia should therefore focus on overcoming some of the problems facing small-scale farmers and encourage the formation of stronger farmer group which will help farmers in negotiating the prices and finding markets. Government should put a deliberate policy in place which will encourage farmers to be selling their produce through the farmer groups. This will reduce chances of farmers being exploited by the buyer.

The study was realized through the following objectives; determining the nature of farming systems in Chongwe District, ascertaining awareness of programmes in organic agriculture amongst small scale farmers and establishing participation in training activities aimed at promoting organic agriculture. The significance of the study was to advocate for sustainable forms of agriculture such as organic agriculture in achieving a sustainable environment. The study predominantly employed a qualitative research design. This was done by means of a case study approach. The methods used for data collection were semi structured interviews and questionnaires. The sample size was 65 respondents which comprised 61 small scale farmers who were sampled using snowballing procedure, 1 official of a sustainable agricultural centre and 3 extension officers were sampled purposively. The results established that despite the high levels of knowledge about organic agriculture in the area, adoption of the farming system was still low amongst small scale farmers in Chongwe District. The study further revealed that majority of the respondents were aware of the awareness programmes aimed at promoting organic agriculture in the area, though very few of the respondents had accessed training due to long distances between farm villages and the training centre. Thus training providers for organic agriculture needs to host training programmes within the villages to enable an inclusive participation amongst the farmers. This kind of farming system would help in maintaining sustainability of the environment. Additionally, the study revealed that training in organic agriculture was mainly advocated by a non-governmental organisation in the area. Therefore, the study recommended that government prioritise organic agriculture through its agricultural policies and offer financial support to institutions offering training in organic farming to enable more small scale farmers engage in organic agriculture. In stressing the need for sustainability of the environment, the study suggested the following future area of research; an assessment of the effects of conventional agriculture on small scale farmers in rural communities.

▼ The development of the energy crisis has caused the use of depletable energy resources to be monitored quite closely in the United States. Within the agricultural sector, irrigation is a large user of energy, with the potential of using many times more energy than all other agricultural field operations. A better understanding of how energy is used by different irrigation systems could facilitate more efficient use of energy by one of the largest energy consumers in agriculture. This thesis attempts to realistically evaluate the total amount of non-renewable energy resources consumed in the irrigation process. Five portable and permanent sprinkler system types, plus trickle and gravity irrigation systems were studied. An evaluation of the energy required to manufacture the equipment, install it in the field, operate it, and transport it for an entire irrigation season was made. This evaluation was carried out in a variety of operating situations, with varying acreages, consumptive use rates, and total irrigation requirements. The paper begins by giving some background information about agriculture and irrigation as consumers of energy. A review of some of the research previously done which relates to energy use in irrigation is given. The evaluation of energy use by irrigation systems presented in this thesis were made with the use of a simulation model which was developed on the Oregon State University OS-3 Computer System. The model predicts energy requirements of an irrigation system by evaluating pumping energy requirements with basic hydraulic equations, the manufacturing energy requirements by calculating the required amounts of basic materials making up the system and the energy of manufacture of those basic materials. The energy for installation and the energy for transportation were evaluated by simulating methods of operation and management used in Oregon. The input parameters used in the modeling process. reproduce as closely as possible operating conditions encountered in Oregon. System types, component depreciation life, irrigation efficiencies and the range of irrigation requirements are ones that could typically be found in Oregon. For the situations considered, it was concluded that gravity irrigation required much less energy than other system types. The energy requirement for drip systems was about midway between the energy requirement for gravity systems and for sprinkler systems for most cases considered. The relative order of energy requirements for the various sprinkler systems was dependent upon the operating conditions considered. Advisors/Committee Members: Wolfe, John W. (advisor).
