摘要

利用计数模型,本文评估了加纳小农户玉米种植户的土地和水管理实践强度,以及推动所采用实践数量的因素。农民使用化肥、不焚烧农田和种植植被是采用最多的做法。论文谨慎地指出,将三种土地和水管理方法相结合的农民的平均生产力最高。获得延期联系、信贷和农民的粮食冲击经历是重要的驱动因素。研究结果对制定全面的土地和水资源管理政策具有重要意义,在该政策中,制定了不同的战略来提高农民的生产力。施肥、免耕和翻耕植被是重要的。然而,玉米产量的回归结果表明,采用大量技术可能不一定会带来更好的产量。

Intensity of and factors affecting land and water management practices among smallholder maize farmers in Ghana
Using count models, this paper assesses the intensity of land and water management practices among smallholder maize farmers in Ghana and the factors driving the number of practices adopted. Farmers’ use of fertiliser, non-burning of farmland and ploughing-in of vegetative cover are the practices adopted the most. The paper cautiously notes that the farmers who combine three of the land and water management practices have the highest average productivity. Access to extension contact, credit and farmers’ experiences of food shocks are important driving factors. The findings have implications for a comprehensive land and water management policy within which different strategies are articulated to increase the productivity of the farmers. Fertiliser application, no burning, zero tillage and ploughing-in of the vegetative cover are important. However, the regression results for maize yields suggest that the adoption of a high number of the technologies might not necessarily result in better yields.

期刊介绍: The African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics (AfJARE)/Journal Africain d’Economie Agricole et des Ressources (JAEAR) is a publication of the African Association of Agricultural Economists (AAAE). The journal publishes original research about how African agriculture interacts with local and global economic systems and policy regimes in its impacts upon people. The scope of the journal covers the roles of markets, technology, policy, institutions and the natural environment in shaping the lives of well being of Africans engaged in agricultural activities. The journal strives to nurture and enhance the capacity of African professionals to conduct and publish scientific research and provides a venue for communicating and disseminating their findings. Multi-disciplinary, problem-oriented articles are encouraged. Submissions may deal with teaching, research extension, consulting, advising, entrepreneurship and administration. The Chief Editors and Editorial Board, under the general direction of the AAAE President, Executive Committee and Council are charged with implementing Journal policy to serve members of AAAE. The main section of the journal publishes technical research articles while a small section is devoted to publishing brief notes with important policy content and book reviews. The journal is a quarterly publication.
