“…Beyond the implications for investment and land security, this population also represents a workforce capable of boosting production (Tura et al, 2010;Oladele, 2005). However, it's worth noting that this last result isn't universally accepted, and similar to the present case, a negative effect on workforce optimization emerges (Mathieu et al, 2003).…”

The security of land tenure is a critical aspect of enhancing agricultural production in rural areas of Burkina Faso. The aim of this analysis is to examine the impact of land tenure security on agricultural production and utilize the Mixed Conditional Process method to derive estimators in a recursive equation model. Panel data from the Programme National de Gestion des Terroirs was employed spanning the cropping seasons of 2010 and 2011. The findings indicate that enhanced land tenure security leads to a higher adoption of stone cordons and improved agricultural labor efficiency, ultimately resulting in enhanced agricultural production. Additionally, promoting agricultural mechanization that reduces physical labor could be valuable. Therefore, it is recommended to extend the use of stone barriers to all plots by providing necessary financial and technical support to farmers.

V članku je predstavljeno, kako dejavniki socialnoekonomske strukture vplivajo na časovno opredelitev prenosa hribovskih kmetij na naslednike. Podrobneje je opisana metodologija dela, zlasti modeli z omejeno odvisno spremenljivko - tobit modeli -, s katerimi smo ugotavljali vplive, spoznanja o vplivih pa so povezana z ugotovitvami drugih raziskovalcev. Rezultati kažejo, da se čas predaje kmetij naslednikom podaljša z večanjem števila otrok v gospodarjevi družini, zlasti števila otrok moškega spola, in s povečevanjem starosti gospodarja, podaljša pa se tudi, če so kmetije večje in ekonomsko močnejše, kar je v nasprotju s pričakovanji.

“…However, most of the past studies in Nigeria focused on the effect of improved maize adoption on yield. Other researchers focused on the effect of socio economic characteristics of farmers on adoption of maize variety (Oladele, 2005). There has been little study on the influence of adoption of open pollinated improved maize variety on the livelihood of the farmers in the study area.…”

The study examined influence of improved open pollinated maize variety adoption on the livelihood status of farmers in Niger State, Nigeria. To achieve the objectives of the study, 120 farmers were randomly selected from three (3) Local Government Areas in the State. Validated interview schedule with reliability co-efficient of 0.74 was used for data collection and analyzed using descriptive statistics, livelihood index and multiple regression analysis. Result showed that the mean age and mean farm size of the respondents was 34 years and 1.9 ha, respectively. Finding further indicated that 82.5% of the respondents were full adopters by cultivating improved maize variety in at least 10% of their total farm lands. The result also revealed that educational level, income, incentive and time of awareness positively and significantly influenced adoption of improved maize variety, which highly upshot the livelihood status of the respondents by about 70.0%. The study recommended that incentive such as free seed of improved varieties should be given to farmers for testing by the improved varieties’ promoters during awareness to facilitate adoption. It was also suggested that extension agents should synchronize awareness time with seasons of usage of the improved varieties to speed up the practical application of the improved varieties.
