“…This approach is widely used in social science research to analyze the mutually reinforcing and reciprocal relationships between people (compositional effects) and places (contextual effects). To the best of our knowledge, only a few studies have applied multilevel models to research in agriculture and rural development (Overmarks et al, 2006;Su and Xiao, 2013;Xiao et al, 2015;Su et al, 2016;Thapa et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2018;Birthal et al, 2019Birthal et al, , 2020. There are three principal advantages of a multilevel modeling approach (Goldstein, 2003;Raudenbush and Bryk, 2002;Kim et al, 2016):…”

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), is a CGIAR Research Center established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

“…Ademais, a diversificação é coerente com a agricultura familiar de pequenos estabelecimentos, já que tem uma maior dotação de mão de obra em relação à terra (BIRTHAL; HAZRANA; NEGI, 2020). Desse modo, pequenos agricultores conseguem obter vários benefícios dos sistemas diversificados, bem como eficiência no uso da terra (BIRTHAL;HAZRANA;NEGI, 2020;MARTIN-GUAY et al, 2018), redução de riscos, especialmente climáticos (PIEDRA-BONILLA; DA CUNHA; BRAGA, SCHEMBERGUE et al, 2017), além de garantia de segurança e diversidade alimentar (WAHA et al, 2018;ADJIMOTI;KWADZO, 2018;DILLON;MCGEE;OSENI, 2015). À medida que o tamanho do estabelecimento aumenta, a relação com o Índice de Simpson torna-se baixa.…”

Uma forma de reduzir incertezas da produção e obter economia de escopo é por meio do emprego da diversificação de atividades, que pode ser entendida por diferentes conceitos e abordagens. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar arcabouço teórico e empírico da diversificação agropecuária no Brasil, utilizando abordagens socioeconômica e agronômica. Além disso, apresenta-se as possíveis formas de diversificação agropecuária, ressaltando sua importância ambiental e econômica. Para isso, apresenta-se a evolução da produção agropecuária municipal a partir de dois índices: Shannon e Simpson, no período1987-2017. Os resultados revelam tendência à especialização de culturas, especialmente na região Centro-Oeste. No entanto, a produção agropecuária municipal ainda se encontra na categoria “diversificada” nesse período. Os estabelecimentos acima de 1000 hectares têm uma relação negativa com a diversificação agropecuária, contrária aos estabelecimentos entre 0 a 50 hectares da região Sul e Centro-Oeste.

“…They provide avenues to them for selling higher value crops like flowers, vegetables and fruits from vegetable farms, orchards and vineyards, animal products from poultry and dairy farms, fish from aquaculture, forest products from agroforestry etc. (yeung 1987;Birthal et al 2007;World BanK 2008; deelStra and girardet 2019). The work of yeung (1987) highlights successes achieved in these endeavors through a literature survey as well as case studies of Shanghai, Singapore, Metro Manila, Lae (Papua New Guinea), and Georgetown (Malaysia).…”

Peshawar is the capital city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) and the largest urban center in the province. The city is experiencing rapid urban growth which is not without its impact on urban agriculture. This paper traces the developments in the conditions of farmland in the district during the last two decades. With increasing population and economic activities, land demand for housing and other nonfarm uses like industries, commercial and transport is rising. The built-up area is expanding in all directions around the city, which is the best agricultural land except along its western side that is barren land. Therefore, any expansion in built environment has resulted and is resulting in diminishing farmland. This paper analyses how farmland has been engulfed by nonfarm uses in the process of urban expansion. An interesting fact in the case of Peshawar is that while agricultural land is being lost, some new agricultural land is also being gained. In 1991 agricultural land constituted 41 percent of the total land area of the city, which increased to about 58 percent in 1997. Nevertheless, an analysis of the land capability classes indicates that most of the gain in farmland has been in inferior class IV category, which is low in productivity while encroachment of built up area has been over the most fertile and highly productive class I category. The paper while analyzing the encroachment process also explores the policy options that are available to preserve the remaining farmland by making urban agriculture more profitable and incorporating the activity in the city plans for implementation. Zusammenfassung: Peshawar ist die Hauptstadt von Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) und das größte städtische Zentrum der Provinz. Die Stadt erlebt ein schnelles Stadtwachstum, das nicht ohne Auswirkungen auf die städtische Landwirtschaft bleibt. Diese Studie zeichnet die Entwicklung der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte nach und analysiert die veränderten Bedingungen für landwirtschaftliche Nutzung im Stadtbezirk. Mit zunehmender Bevölkerung und Wirtschaftstätigkeit steigt die Flächennachfrage nach Wohnraum und anderen nicht landwirtschaftlichen Nutzungen wie Industrie, Gewerbe und Verkehr. Das bebaute Gebiet dehnt sich in alle Richtungen um die Stadt herum aus und erfasst dabei (abgesehen von dem kargen Land im Westen der Stadt) die besten landwirtschaftlichen Flächen. Daher führte und führt jede Erweiterung der bebauten Umwelt zu einer Verringerung der Anbauflächen. Eine interessante Feststellung im Falle von Peshawar ist, dass auf der einen Seite landwirtschaftliche Flächen verloren gingen, aber im Gegenzug andere Areal der Landwirtschaft zugeführt wurden. 1991 machten landwirtschaftliche Flächen 41 Prozent der Gesamtfläche der Stadt aus; der Anteil stieg bis die 1997 sogar auf rund 58 Prozent an und stagniert seitdem auf diesem Niveau. Eine genaue Analyse zeigt jedoch, dass der größte Teil des Zuwachses an Ackerland auf minderwertigen Böden erfolgt, während der Urbanisierung die fruchtbarsten Flächen zum Opfer fallen.
