Drought-tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) o ff er hope as an adaptation strategy for farmers facing increasing frequency of droughts in sub-Saharan Africa. Adoption of these varieties also o ff ers hope to enhance sustainability in the agricultural production system. However, these varieties are not yet widely cultivated, and the potential economic bene fi ts not fully understood. This study examines the scalability of DTMVs in Tanzania under three scenarios: (1) scalability conditional on knowledge of DTMVs; (ii) scalability conditional on (physical) seed availability in addition to awareness; and (iii) scalability conditional on seed a ff ordability in addition to awareness and (physical) seed availability. The study uses household production and consumption data from major regions in Tanzania. The results from the economic surplus model indicate that by 2032, the adoption of DTMVs could generate between US$ 373 million and US$ 499 million in cumulative bene fi ts for both producers and consumers. Such bene fi ts could potentially lift up to 1.6 million people out of poverty by 2032. It is estimated that consumers would get 40% of the bene fi ts and producers 60%, with the largest bene fi ts occurring in the major maize-producing regions of Mbeya, Rukwa, Ruvuma, Mwanza, Arusha, and Kagera. Consumers in Dar es Salaam would also bene fi t signi fi cantly from the price reductions resulting from increased production. The largest returns on investment would occur in Dodoma, Geita, Simiyu, Singida, and Kagera. These fi ndings justify the investment of both public and private funds to support the scaling of DTMVs in Tanzania.

ABSTRACT Relatively a few studies assess the impact of climate change (CC) policies on effective farmers’ agronomic practices and associated agro-technical performance. This study aimed at characterizing how CC policies can help farmers to combine CC with other environmental issues to support the design of more effective policies at the farm level. It was conducted in Guadeloupe, where farming systems are highly vulnerable to CC. We analyzed the Agro-Environmental and Climate Measures (AECM) proposed by the European Union. We made surveys with 39 farmers and used an existing whole-farm simulation tool to assess practices promoted by the current AECM. The tool was also used to assess the new AECM under discussion by stakeholders. Structural characteristics allowed identifying various types of farms. These characteristics may affect farmers’ capacity to implement the current AECM given that they are labour-intensive. New AECM focused on the decrease in pesticides and do not properly address CC since most of them lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and are very different from the current farmers’ CC adaptation strategies. Synergies can be found between the reduction of pesticide use and CC if the alternatives proposed also permit to decrease in the use of synthetic fertilizers.

ABSTRACT Some international organizations and civil society activists are blaming exporting countries of frozen chicken products for the underdevelopment of the domestic poultry sectors in developing nations. However, concrete evidence that supports or rejects these criticisms is missing. Against this background, this study was conducted to examine the performance of Ghana’s poultry sector by employing quantitative and qualitative methods. Results of our study highlight the poor economic, social, and environmental performance of the Ghanaian poultry sector. Moreover, weak vertical and horizontal coordination among actors in the value chain in addition to low commitment from supporting stakeholders emerge as the root causes of the challenges the sector faces. We propose an integrated set of sustainable solutions to support the development and growth of Ghana’s poultry value chain. Besides, continuous mutual cooperation is required from all actors and stakeholders in the value chain who operate in transparency and trust.

ABSTRACT In order to bridge the knowledge-gap between sustainability awareness and the old world winegrowing culture, this research explores and analyses perceptions of key individuals in Portuguese wine industry regarding sustainability issues, uncovering intercultural trends, expectations and tensions. A grounded theory approach was used on collected nationwide data from semi-structured interviews with leading wine specialists. After conducting an inductive qualitative-content analysis using IRAMUTEQ software, results displayed key domains of concern rooted into three lexical macro ramifications analogous to the environmental-social-governance factors. The sector’s tendency to approach sustainability based on different strategies of action was also exposed. These are the fuse of two main strategic profiles: impact assessment versus value creation; with external exposure versus inward orientation approach. Findings may be used as a reference to wine managers and policy-makers pursuing sustainability goals. The development of a sustainability framework with guidelines is also recommended for standardized accounting and valuation principles in line with the Portuguese context.
