Abstract

This study critically examines the economic impact of the Common Code for the Coffee Community (4C) certification on smallholder coffee farmers in West Lampung and Tanggamus, Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design with Propensity Score Matching (PSM) applied to survey data from 400 farmers, the findings reveal that while certified farmers earn slightly more than their uncertified counterparts, the difference is not statistically significant. This outcome underscores a persistent gap between the intended benefits of sustainability standards and their realized impact on rural livelihoods. By integrating field-based qualitative insights, the study demonstrates that institutional weaknesses—such as externally driven farmer organizations, fragmented value chains, and limited collective bargaining capacity—undermine the transformative potential of certification schemes. These structural constraints explain why sustainability standards fail to generate meaningful improvements in smallholder incomes. The findings have direct implications for several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). First, they question the assumption that certification contributes automatically to SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Second, they highlight the reproduction of structural inequalities (SDG 10) within certified and non-certified market systems. Third, they challenge the efficacy of sustainability certification as a mechanism for responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), especially in the absence of institutional reforms. This study argues that certification must be embedded within empowered local institutions and equitable market arrangements to achieve inclusive development outcomes. Without addressing structural barriers, sustainability standards risk becoming technocratic instruments that offer symbolic compliance rather than substantive change.

Abstract

Threat to agriculture economy from pests and diseases are increasing constantly. Global food crops are lost from 20% to 40% due to pests and diseases, with damage reaching 14.1% by plant diseases, accounting for $ 220 billion in annual agricultural trade losses. Traditional methods like chemical control have a great detrimental effect on environment. Thus, an alternative concept of Molecular detection techniques and biotechnology sets diagnostic tools, techniques can generate accurate results rapidly enough to be useful for disease management decisions. Biotechnology is the genetic manipulation, and multiplication of any living organism through novel techniques and technologies such as tissue culture and genetic engineering resulting in the production of improved or new organism and products that can be used in variety of ways. The various applications of biotechnology in plant pathology includes, Genetic Resistance, Marker Assisted Breeding, Genetic Engineering, RNA Interference, Gene Pyramiding and tagging of resistant genes.

Abstract

Marigolds (Tagetes spp.) have gained attention for enhancing pest control and pollinator attraction in mixed cropping systems. This study investigates the impact of marigolds as a companion crop, assessing their effectiveness in pest deterrence and their ability to attract beneficial pollinators. Results from field studies and existing research reveal that marigolds release bioactive compounds, such as thiophene and alpha-terthienyl, which effectively repel pests including aphids, whiteflies, and root-knot nematodes. This repellent action mitigates crop damage and improves agricultural yields. Marigolds also support beneficial insect populations, including ladybugs, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps, which enhance biological pest control and contribute to agroecosystem health. Moreover, marigolds effectively attract pollinators by providing a reliable source of nectar and pollen, thereby boosting pollination rates and crop productivity. This study underscores the value of incorporating marigolds into mixed cropping systems as a sustainable strategy for integrated pest management and pollinator support. The results offer critical insights for optimizing agricultural practices and advancing sustainable farming through strategic companion planting.

Abstract

Climate change has emerged as a significant global challenge, with particularly devastating consequences for developing countries with rapidly emerging industries. Sustainable development is critical in these areas. As a result, Climate-Smart Education is critical for integrating climate change knowledge and sustainable practices to ensure the long-term viability of industries. As a result, this study examines strategies for advancing Climate-Smart Education to improve economic sustainability, with a focus on developing countries. To accomplish this, a commentary approach was used to review existing literature, policies, and current practices, and suggested actionable strategies. The findings suggest that strategies such as public-private partnerships, digital advisory services, and incorporating climate-smart principles into formal education can help to close knowledge gaps and boost resilience. Adapting initiatives to the socioeconomic realities of rural and peri-urban areas, along with coordinated policy efforts, is critical. However, challenges such as limited resources, inadequate teacher training, and cultural resistance, particularly in developing countries, may impede the successful implementation of climate change education. It was suggested that policymakers ensure the implementation of climate-smart principles in key sectors such as education, industry, agriculture, and the environment. This can promote a unified and coordinated approach to climate resilience and sustainability.

Abstract

Chickpea wilt/root rot is the main biotic stress that reduces yields of chickpea in the major chickpea growing areas of Ethiopia. This study was carried out to isolate, characterize, and identify fungal pathogens that cause chickpea wilt/root rot and enrich the microbial culture collection of Ethiopian Biodiversity Gene Bank and make them accessible for further research. Root samples were collected from infected chickpea host plants grown in three districts of North Shoa. The root samples were sterilized with two steps surface sterilization and inoculated on Potato Dextrose Agar. The fungal pathogens were isolated from the inoculated Potato Dextrose Agar after seven to ten days of incubation at 26+2 OC. The fungal pathogens were characterized using cultural characteristics and microscopic morphology techniques. Data comprising the symptoms of the infected host chickpea plants at the farm land, the cultural characteristics of the fungi on Potato Dextrose Agar, microscopic morphologies and standard fungal identification key were used to identify the fungal species. The identified fungal pathogens include Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia bataticola, and Rhizoctonia solani. The rate of isolation of the pathogens is 20% for the three pathogens each; Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia bataticola and 10% to Rhizoctonia solani. Most of the pathogens are isolated from samples collected from Moretina Jiru district which indicates the existence of higher distribution of the disease in this district than the other two districts included in the study.

Abstract

Land fragmentation is still incessant among smallholder farmers in Nigeria and its unwarranted practice creates a gap in cropland productivity. Perhaps, the issue of gender inequality instigates fragmentation of agricultural lands as against land consolidation policy, its considerably a further research concern. In view of this, the current research investigates the gendered effect of land fragmentation among farming households in Saki-East Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected from 110 farmers consisted of 55 each of men and women respondents with designed questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Simpson index and fractional logit regression were analytical techniques. The analysis showed that the mean age was 52.85 and 49.65years, the farm experience of 22.13 and 17.89 years and on-farm income of N5405000 and N1264619 for both sexes respectively. The spatial farm distance was found to be 5.09 and 4.49km2, while farm size cultivated was 4.29 and 2.14 hectares on the average for male and female rural households. Majority of men acquired farms through rented land while most women relied on inherited lands for farming. A Simpson index of 0.332 and 0.446 derived from men and women data respectively explained the extent of land fragmentation within farming households. Fractional logit regression revealed that land fragmentation is exogenously determined by on-farm income, cost of land preparation, land rent, land tenure security and the location of farm sites in case of males. However, only cost of land preparation and land rented significantly driven fragmentation of agricultural land among female counterparts. Also, the statistical t-test signified a variance in means between the two groups. It was recommended that the investments on land should be incentives for smallholder farmers to lessen fragmentation of holdings and also land tenure patterns should be reformed for aggregation of all small parcels into a large holding as well as a productive land use.

Abstract

Agroforestry accompanies different varieties of plants. This study assessed woody species diversity in coffee-based home garden agroforestry systems in the Dello Menna District of Bale Zone, Ethiopia. Three kebeles were purposively selected, with two randomly chosen sites in each. Forty-eight 10 × 10 m plots were established for trees and shrubs (>1.5 m height, DBH >2.5 cm), and five 2 × 2 m subplots within each plot were used for seedlings and saplings (<1.5 m height, DBH <2.5 cm). Therefore, the diameter and heights were measured by using diameter tape and a hypsometer, respectively. Trees, saplings, and seedlings encountered in the plots were recorded and identified using the standard procedure. Data were analyzed using GenStat (18th edition), and diversity was assessed through Shannon and evenness indices. A total of 39 woody species from 24 families were recorded, with 71.9% trees and shrubs and 28.1% seedlings and saplings. Shannon diversity ranged from 1.68 to 2.50, and evenness from 0.64 to 0.79, showing significant variation (p < 0.05) among plots. Coffee-based home gardens enhance ecological stability and species diversity, though the dominance of fruit trees reduces overall diversity. Introducing a wider range of species is recommended to enhance sustainability and biodiversity.
