Soil health assessment frameworks and indicators: How can they support regeneration of smallholder farming systems in the Global South? by Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Bongiorno, Giulia, Visscher, Anna

“…Yet, empirical studies linking soil health gains to agronomic and environmental gains, including trade-offs, are extremely scarce, especially in the context of smallholder farmers in developing countries; 3) The use of soil health indicators to support farmer decision making has received little attention. Ways to overcome these important shortcomings will also be discussed, with a special focus on approaches that offer promise to create real impact for smallholder farmers in the global south.…”

Can Trainings on Women's Voice and Agency Raise Women's Aspirations, Entrepreneurial Activities, and Well-being? Evidence From Rural Nigeria by Kosec, Katrina, Kyle, Jordan, Mo, Cecilia

“…In addition to their effects on economic behaviors and outcomes, we will also examine potential mechanisms explaining these effects, by considering the effects of treatment on measures of women's beliefs in self- and group efficacy; women's locus of control; women's self-esteem; women's trust levels; women's perceptions of the cause of poverty; women’s own gender norms about views on appropriate roles for women; and intra-household bargaining power between husbands and wives over economic decision-making. If we secure additional funding, we will also assess whether husbands’ gender norms about appropriate roles for women; husbands’ supportive actions to facilitate women’s activities outside the home; husband's beliefs that supporting women's participation is socially normative; and recognition that men have an important role to play in supporting women's participation are mechanisms.…”

Resilience – and collapse – of local food systems in conflict affected areas; reflections from Burkina Faso by Béné, Christophe, d'Hôtel, Elodie Maître, Pelloquin, Raphaël, Badaoui, Outman, Garba, Faroukou, Sankima, Jocelyne W.

“…The paper concludes by weighing the usefulness of the concept of resilience in the context of severe disruptions of the food systems (such as armed conflicts), emphasizes the risk that an unconditional promotion/adoption of that concept may reduce our ability to anticipate or even to envision collapse scenarios. On the brighter side, our analysis demonstrates that collecting specific information about the food system operators can help predict, and possibly prevent, such collapses.…”

The US animal insurance program: Rapid expansion at a growing cost to taxpayers by Glauber, Joseph W.

“…Programs that guarantee minimum prices for producers are not new to agriculture, but when they are coupled to production, they can distort production and marketing decisions and harm foreign suppliers. US livestock product exports have grown significantly in recent years, and such support potentially exposes US exports to challenges by foreign suppliers through the dispute settlement mechanism at the World Trade Organization.…”
