Robbing Yadullah's water to irrigate Saeid's garden: hydrology and water rights in a village of Central Iran por Molle, Francois, Mamanpoush, A.R., Miranzadeh, M.

“…This report provides a case study from the province of Esfahan, in central Iran, describing the struggle of a village to secure the water resources without which local agriculture, and altogether life in the village, would be impossible. It illustrates the endless ingenuity of farmers in their quest for water, how land and water rights have developed, how various legal repertoires may conflict with one another, and how the intervention of the state transformed the wider hydrological cycle of the valley and affected the delicate equilibrium between population and resources that had prevailed until then. …”

Election of farmers in the adoption of soil management technologies in cotton production system and crop rotation in the warm Alto Magdalena valley por Martínez R., Antonio M., Gómez, Julián D.

“…A Logit model was formulated for determining the probability of adopting the technologies. This study illustrates that conventional tillage technologies, which contribute to a lower incidence of weeds, and the availability of machinery most likely explain increased adoption; in addition, the land is an important factor in explaining adoption, with an increased use of sustainable technologies when the farmer is the owner.…”

Improving resilience to nutritional shocks por Alderman, Harold, Walker, Susan P.

“…Consistent with other literature, we find that the subsidy is a recursive determinant of seed demand, but in 2010, its recipients had more land, more assets, and lower poverty rates. Findings illustrate the social costs of the programme as currently designed and highlight the need to build alternative supply channels if poorer maize growers are to grow hybrid seed.…”
