When tanety hillsides meet the rice fields at lake alaotra : diversification and innovation in upland zones in an increasingly saturated land occupation context [PDF]
, 2010 Despite a 100% increase in the rural population every 18 years, the Lake Alaotra region is still an important area of immigration. Land occupation is saturated in the irrigable lowlands (well irrigated rice growing areas, rice fields with poor water ...

Participatory agent-based modeling and simulation of rice farming in the rainfed lowlands of Northeast Thailand [PDF]
, 2009 Rainfed lowland rice production in lower northeast Thailand is a complex and adaptive farming activity. Complexity arises from interconnections between multiple and intertwined processes, particularly agronomic practices and labor migration. Having faced

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The common bean is an important crop in Eastern Africa for smallholder farmers, yet yields are often reduced due to pests, particularly Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli. These species are partially sympatric and commonly known as the bean fly. Here, based on the similarity of their life history and developmental biology, field data

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Agent-based modeling on interaction between water and labor availability in rainfed rice ecosystem, northeast Thailand [PDF]
, 2008 An Agent-Based Model (ABM) was co-designed with local rice farmers to represent the human-environment interactions between land/water use and labor management. A rainfed area of Ubon Ratchathani Province, Thailand was the study site.
