Abstract A significant emphasis on scaling up food security efforts is needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) by 2030. Scaling up sustainable intensification efforts for Cambodian smallholder farmers is key since they face greater exposure to the uncertainties of climate change, globalizing markets, and rural-to-urban migration. One way to increase the effectiveness of efforts and the scaling up of sustainable intensification technologies is through improving access to information about production and marketing technologies. This study aimed to identify sources of information about sustainable technologies available to smallholders and barriers that may be preventing adoption. Information was gathered from a household survey to document the sources of agricultural information for smallholders in Northwest Cambodia. This research suggests Cambodian smallholders are receiving agricultural extension services, however, the overall quality and effectiveness of these messages are unknown, since NGOs with competing foci are the primary provider of extension information. Smallholders face significant barriers that prevent the adoption of sustainable technologies and participation in markets, such as low price for goods, poor product quality, lack of time, and concerns for safety. Future endeavors to strengthen the price of goods and alleviate market-related challenges would likely result in increased smallholder income and food availability.
要在2030年前实现可持续发展目标2(零饥饿),就必须高度重视加大粮食安全力度。扩大柬埔寨小农的可持续集约化工作至关重要,因为他们面临着气候变化、全球化市场和农村向城市迁移等不确定性的更大风险。提高努力的效力和扩大可持续集约化技术的一种方法是改善获得有关生产和销售技术的信息的机会。这项研究旨在确定小农可获得的可持续技术的信息来源和可能阻碍采用的障碍。从一项家庭调查中收集信息,以记录柬埔寨西北部小农的农业信息来源。这项研究表明,柬埔寨小农正在接受农业推广服务,然而,这些信息的总体质量和有效性尚不清楚,因为具有竞争重点的非政府组织是推广信息的主要提供者。小农面临着阻碍采用可持续技术和参与市场的重大障碍,如商品价格低、产品质量差、缺乏时间以及对安全的担忧。今后加强商品价格和减轻与市场有关的挑战的努力可能会增加小农的收入和粮食供应。

Abstract The agricultural industry and higher education have traditionally been male-dominated spaces in the developing world. However, in recent decades, significant progress in female representation has been achieved in both sectors. Previous research has suggested that women in the Southeast Asian agricultural industry have been more empowered than women in other regions. However, women in Thailand’s agricultural postsecondary programs have been understudied. In response, this study examined the experiences and perceptions of women agricultural extension faculty in Thailand’s higher education system. Through qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with women, three distinct themes emerged: (1) gendered disparities, (2) barriers to success in academia, (3) perceptions of self and gender in agriculture and higher education. The findings suggested that Thai female faculty in agricultural extension held positive perceptions of their careers despite persistent gender inequalities and traditional cultural norms. Moving forward, we recommend that more in-depth research be conducted to understand better how such perceptions coexist with the deeply entrenched gender inequalities.
传统上,发展中国家的农业和高等教育一直是男性主导的领域。然而,近几十年来,这两个部门的妇女任职人数都取得了重大进展。先前的研究表明,东南亚农业行业的女性比其他地区的女性更有权力。然而,泰国农业高等教育项目对女性的研究还不够充分。作为回应,本研究调查了泰国高等教育系统中女性农业推广教师的经验和看法。通过对女性深度访谈的定性分析,出现了三个不同的主题:(1)性别差异;(2)在学术界取得成功的障碍;(3)在农业和高等教育中的自我和性别观念。研究结果表明,尽管存在性别不平等和传统文化规范,泰国农业推广领域的女性教师对她们的职业持积极看法。展望未来,我们建议进行更深入的研究,以更好地了解这些观念如何与根深蒂固的性别不平等并存。

Abstract Global competence is a skill set that has become a necessity in every discipline in the agricultural sciences. With an increasingly diverse student population in our school systems coupled with an increasingly complex global agrisystem, now more than ever we need globally competent educators and learners to develop a globally competent workforce and society. A common intervention in cultivating global competency is the study abroad immersive experience for the traveling participants, but little is known about the global competency gains in hosting individuals. The immersive study abroad experience provided the opportunity for school-based agricultural educators (both candidates and practicing educators) to engage in a four-week experience with their Malaysian counterparts exploring the interconnected nature of culture, agriculture, and education. Throughout the experience the participants engaged in daily structured reflection sessions using the TIPS method. Journal entries were coded and analyzed for both Malaysia and United States participants. Participants from both countries respectively became more globally competent educators and learners.
摘要全球竞争力是一种技能,在农业科学的每一个学科中都是必要的。随着学校系统的学生人数日益多样化,加上全球农业系统日益复杂,我们现在比以往任何时候都更需要具有全球能力的教育工作者和学习者,以发展具有全球能力的劳动力和社会。培养全球竞争力的一种常见干预措施是为旅行参与者提供身临其境的海外学习体验,但人们对东道国个人的全球竞争力收益知之甚少。这种身临其境的海外学习经历为校本农业教育工作者(包括候选人和实践教育工作者)提供了与马来西亚同行一起进行为期四周的体验的机会,探索文化、农业和教育相互联系的本质。在整个体验过程中,参与者每天使用TIPS方法进行结构化的反思。对马来西亚和美国参与者的日志条目进行了编码和分析。两国的参与者分别成为具有全球能力的教育者和学习者。

Abstract Despite the global surge in enrollment for master's and Ph.D. programs worldwide and, to some extent, in Sub-Saharan Africa, a considerable lag in completing theses and dissertations (TD) persists. Personal, situational, and contextual factors, such as supervision arrangements and research abilities, have been correlated with the time taken for TD completion. However, beyond these variables, there remains a significant gap in our understanding of what precisely predicts TD completion. To contribute to this knowledge deficit, we conducted a study to determine the predictive nature of specific information sources on students' self-efficacy regarding TD completion. These sources encompass gender, graduate program level, coursework completion, prior statistical skills, and research knowledge. A survey built in Qualtrics was distributed to 65 masters and doctoral students in the Agricultural Education and Extension departments at four universities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings indicated that most respondents possessed prior experience with statistics or research and had completed their coursework. Nevertheless, self-reported research knowledge and self-efficacy for TD completion were rated average, signaling a clear need for proficient research skills to ensure punctual TD completion. Furthermore, hierarchical regression revealed that additional predictors, beyond research knowledge alone, led to a 42% increase in TD self-efficacy for completion. These findings suggest that graduate programs should prioritize providing students with more research-related mastery experiences. This could be accomplished by offering a broader range of statistical courses, hands-on research opportunities, and avenues for professional development. Additionally, institutions should evaluate to address the specific TD research requirements of graduate students through a gendered lens.
尽管全球范围内硕士和博士课程的招生人数激增,在某种程度上,在撒哈拉以南非洲,完成论文和学位论文(TD)的相当滞后仍然存在。个人、情境和背景因素,如监督安排和研究能力,都与完成TD所需的时间相关。然而,除了这些变量之外,我们对如何准确预测完井仍有很大的差距。为了弥补这一知识缺陷,我们进行了一项研究,以确定特定信息源对学生完成学业自我效能感的预测性质。这些来源包括性别、研究生课程水平、课程完成情况、先前的统计技能和研究知识。Qualtrics对撒哈拉以南非洲四所大学农业教育和推广系的65名硕士和博士生进行了调查。调查结果表明,大多数受访者先前具有统计或研究经验,并完成了他们的课程。然而,自我报告的研究知识和完成TD的自我效能被评为平均水平,这表明明显需要熟练的研究技能来确保按时完成TD。此外,层次回归显示,除了研究知识之外,其他预测因素导致TD完成自我效能增加42%。这些发现表明,研究生课程应该优先为学生提供更多与研究相关的掌握经验。这可以通过提供更广泛的统计课程、实践研究机会和专业发展途径来实现。此外,机构应通过性别视角评估以解决研究生的特定TD研究要求。

Abstract Post-harvest loss is a global challenge due to its serious threat to food security. Hermetic storage bags offer one way to combat the loss of food after harvest. The rate at which farmers adopt hermetic bags largely depends upon their access to information and training about the technology. The adoption of hermetic storage bags in Dormaa, Ghana, was the focus of this quantitative cross-sectional research study. This study sought to describe maize farmers’ perceptions of the hermetic storage bags in Dormaa, Ghana, based on the perceived innovation attributes and to ascertain farmers’ stages of adoption of the hermetic storage bags using Rogers’s (2003) innovation-decision model. A multistage systematic sampling technique was used to survey 217 maize farmers in four communities where maize production was the main economic activity. Data indicated that the largest group of farmers were at the confirmation stage of Rogers’ model. The logistic regression model was used to ascertain the influence of the innovation attributes on adoption. The findings reveal that of the five innovation characteristics, relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity are the key and significant drivers of the adoption of hermetic storage bags, with relative advantage and compatibility increasing the adoption likelihood and complexity reducing it. The study, therefore, recommends that communities lagging behind others in adoption should be targeted for additional training.
收获后损失严重威胁着粮食安全,是一个全球性的挑战。密封储存袋提供了一种防止收获后食物流失的方法。农民采用密封袋的比率在很大程度上取决于他们获得有关该技术的信息和培训的机会。在加纳Dormaa采用密封储存袋是本定量横断面研究的重点。本研究试图根据感知的创新属性描述加纳Dormaa玉米农民对密封储存袋的感知,并使用Rogers(2003)的创新决策模型确定农民采用密封储存袋的阶段。采用多阶段系统抽样技术,对以玉米生产为主要经济活动的4个社区的217名玉米农民进行了调查。数据表明,最大的农民群体处于罗杰斯模型的确认阶段。采用logistic回归模型确定创新属性对采用的影响。研究结果表明,在5个创新特征中,相对优势、兼容性和复杂性是推动密闭储物袋采用的关键因素,相对优势和兼容性增加了采用的可能性,而复杂性降低了采用的可能性。因此,研究报告建议,在收养方面落后于其他社区的社区应成为额外培训的对象。

Social media use varies globally across cultures, even within extension services. Recognition of the contributions of international scholars at the universities where they serve also varies. Social media use in international scholars’ countries of origin may differ from that of their institution’s country, affecting social media engagement with a university’s posts featuring international scholars. Using the conceptual framework of audience segmentation, this study explored the differences in social media audience engagement between research themes and international and domestic scholars on Instagram and Twitter. Using a causal-comparative design, this study created Instagram and Twitter posts highlighting peer-reviewed research conducted by both international and domestic scholars at a United States university in a variety of research themes. Separate Instagram and Twitter posts were created for each scholar. Scholars were categorized by research theme and as either international or domestic. Engagement metrics were analyzed descriptively to explore the differences between research themes and international and domestic scholars across Instagram and Twitter audiences. Advances in food science and safety received the highest engagement rate on Instagram, but the lowest engagement rate on Twitter. International scholars received more engagement than domestic scholars in all categories on Instagram. Domestic scholars had higher mean engagements and engagement rates by impressions than international scholars on Twitter, but international scholars received more mean impressions. The results revealed a scholar’s research theme and status as either international or domestic may influence the level of social media engagement they receive on a specific social media platform. Recommendations for research are discussed.
社交媒体的使用在全球文化中各不相同,甚至在扩展服务中也是如此。各大学对国际学者贡献的认可也各不相同。国际学者原籍国的社交媒体使用情况可能与他们所在机构的国家不同,这影响了国际学者在大学帖子中的社交媒体参与度。本研究利用受众细分的概念框架,探讨了研究主题与国内外学者在Instagram和Twitter上的社交媒体受众参与的差异。这项研究采用因果比较设计,在Instagram和Twitter上发布了一些文章,重点介绍了一所美国大学的国内外学者在各种研究主题上进行的同行评议研究。分别为每位学者创建了Instagram和Twitter帖子。学者们按照研究主题分为国际和国内两类。对参与指标进行描述性分析,以探索研究主题和国际国内学者在Instagram和Twitter受众之间的差异。食品科学和安全方面的进展在Instagram上的参与度最高,但在Twitter上的参与度最低。在Instagram的所有类别中,国际学者的参与度都高于国内学者。国内学者在Twitter上的平均参与度和互动率高于国际学者,但国际学者的平均印象更高。研究结果显示,学者的研究主题和国际或国内地位可能会影响他们在特定社交媒体平台上获得的社交媒体参与水平。讨论了研究建议。

Farmer-centered pesticide risk reduction education in Senegal: A novel, participatory approach 塞内加尔以农民为中心的减少农药风险教育:一种新颖的参与式方法

As pest pressures continue to intensify across Sub-Saharan Africa, many smallholder farmers are increasing their use of pesticides, including highly hazardous options, to meet the market demands for high-quality fresh produce. Many of these farmers, however, have not had access to pesticide risk reduction training or have participated in programs that have not enabled them to protect themselves and their families. Given the risks posed by dried and invisible though still toxic pesticide residues, new forms of information and realistic learning strategies are required. This study combined the innovative Adaptive Learner-Centered Education (ALCE) approach with the Farmer Field School (FFS) model to address the need for a rigorous pesticide risk reduction program. This hybrid method was piloted over two years in a project with smallholder farmers in the Niayes region of Senegal. The findings demonstrate that following a 12-week course, this novel approach enabled 20 farmer-facilitators to educate and train 236 other farmers to reduce their use of highly hazardous pesticides, select pesticides with shorter restricted reentry intervals, and adopt protective mitigation practices. Through seasonal planning exercises, farmers operationalized new knowledge in ways that fit their crop production needs and protected themselves and their families. Because the ALCE-FFS process is grounded in community-based needs, it can serve as an appropriate educational design framework for practitioners working in a wide range of geographic, sociocultural, and political contexts.
随着撒哈拉以南非洲地区病虫害压力的持续加剧,许多小农正在增加农药的使用,包括高危农药的使用,以满足市场对高质量新鲜农产品的需求。然而,这些农民中的许多人没有接受过减少农药风险的培训,或者参加过无法保护自己和家人的项目。鉴于干燥和无形但仍然有毒的农药残留物所构成的风险,需要新形式的信息和现实的学习策略。本研究将创新的适应性学习者为中心教育(ALCE)方法与农民田间学校(FFS)模式相结合,以解决严格的农药风险降低计划的需求。这种混合方法在塞内加尔尼亚耶斯地区的一个小农项目中进行了两年的试点。研究结果表明,在为期12周的课程之后,这一新方法使20名农民促进者能够教育和培训其他236名农民减少使用高度危险农药,选择限制再使用间隔较短的农药,并采取保护性缓解做法。通过季节性规划工作,农民以适合其作物生产需求的方式运用新知识,保护了自己和家庭。由于ALCE-FFS过程以社区需求为基础,因此它可以作为在广泛的地理、社会文化和政治背景下工作的从业者的适当教育设计框架。

Halbleib, Berit Dinsdale","doi":"10.4148/2831-5960.1127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4148/2831-5960.1127","url":null,"abstract":"As pest pressures continue to intensify across Sub-Saharan Africa, many smallholder farmers are increasing their use of pesticides, including highly hazardous options, to meet the market demands for high-quality fresh produce. Many of these farmers, however, have not had access to pesticide risk reduction training or have participated in programs that have not enabled them to protect themselves and their families. Given the risks posed by dried and invisible though still toxic pesticide residues, new forms of information and realistic learning strategies are required. This study combined the innovative Adaptive Learner-Centered Education (ALCE) approach with the Farmer Field School (FFS) model to address the need for a rigorous pesticide risk reduction program. This hybrid method was piloted over two years in a project with smallholder farmers in the Niayes region of Senegal. The findings demonstrate that following a 12-week course, this novel approach enabled 20 farmer-facilitators to educate and train 236 other farmers to reduce their use of highly hazardous pesticides, select pesticides with shorter restricted reentry intervals, and adopt protective mitigation practices. Through seasonal planning exercises, farmers operationalized new knowledge in ways that fit their crop production needs and protected themselves and their families. Because the ALCE-FFS process is grounded in community-based needs, it can serve as an appropriate educational design framework for practitioners working in a wide range of geographic, sociocultural, and political contexts.","PeriodicalId":133020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130526651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
