    Ethiopia

    Empirical investigation of the impact of institutional and socioeconomic factors on agricultural productivity and natural resource conditions is important for an informed evaluation of current policies, and to identify areas for future improvements. In this line, the current study addresses three topics of relevance to the process of agricultural intensification and natural resource management in the context of the less-favoured Highlands of Tigray, Ethiopia.

    Ethiopia

    About 88% of the population is concentrated in the highlands, which constitute less than half of the national territory; here the population density is 141 persons km-2. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood and national income in the country. Over 85% of the population directly depends on it and about half of the GDP is generated from the sector. However, agriculture is small-scale and subsistence oriented, and it is in a very low state of development.

    The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature and scope of the linkages between the resource environments, livelihoods and food security of households and individuals. These are analyzed using the livelihood systems framework with the biophysical environment as the entry point. The biophysical and socio-economic environments are investigated as the conditioning and influencing factors that help define the relationships along the production-consumption continuum. The context is spatial, in this case that of fragile areas, where most of the poor and food insecure live and work.

    Sub-Saharan Africa

    The demand for agricultural products (food, feed, fibre, and biomass for other purposes) produced in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will increase for the coming decades. In addition, the global climate change will largely impact on the agricultural sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. Major challenges for the agricultural sector in SSA are that agricultural production systems depend on resources that are for a large part non-renewable, and that the current agricultural practices in SSA are major contributors to environmental degradation.

    Ethiopia

    Being one of the oldest civilisations in the world, Ethiopia has an agricultural tradition that is over 2,500 years old. However the land has brought into cultivation at different times in history. Generally the Northern part of the country has experienced intensive agriculture for a long time, whereas the southwestern highlands, which show relatively less soil degradation were brought into agriculture in the last couple of centuries.

    In het gebied Heemskerkerduin en Noorddorp is onduidelijkheid over de toekomst. Vorig jaar moest het bestemmingsplan herzien worden. Werkgroep ‘Van Duin tot Dorp’ merkte dat er veel onrust heerst bij de tuinders over de toekomst van het Heemskerkerduin en Noorddorp. De werkgroep heeft daarom in 2008 contact gelegd met de Wetenschapswinkel Wageningen UR met de vraag advies en onafhankelijk onderzoek te doen naar de toekomst en inrichting van het gebied. Allereerst hebben de onderzoekers van LEI vanuit bestaande data bestanden gekeken naar de economische vitaliteit van het gebied.
