African Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics-AFJARE
Scope & Guideline
Fostering dialogue on Africa's agricultural future.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Agricultural Economics and Policy Analysis:
AFJARE focuses on the economic aspects of agriculture, including policy analysis, market dynamics, and the economic impact of agricultural practices on rural livelihoods. This includes evaluations of subsidy programs, trade policies, and the economic implications of climate-smart agriculture. - Food Security and Nutrition:
The journal frequently publishes research on food security and nutrition, emphasizing the role of agricultural practices in ensuring food availability and improving dietary diversity among rural households. This includes studies on crop yields, food systems, and access to nutritious food. - Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies:
Research on the effects of climate change on agriculture, as well as adaptation strategies employed by farmers, is a core area for AFJARE. This includes studies on climate variability, crop resilience, and the adoption of sustainable practices to mitigate climate impacts. - Gender and Empowerment in Agriculture:
AFJARE explores the intersection of gender and agriculture, investigating how women's empowerment and participation in agricultural activities affect productivity and economic outcomes. This includes analyses of gender-differentiated impacts of agricultural policies and practices. - Technological Innovations in Agriculture:
The journal highlights the role of technological advancements in enhancing agricultural productivity, including the adoption of improved seeds, sustainable practices, and innovations in pest management. Research often evaluates the economic viability of these technologies for smallholder farmers.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate-Smart Agriculture:
There is a noticeable increase in research focused on climate-smart agricultural practices. Studies are exploring the yield advantages and profitability of these practices, indicating a growing recognition of their importance in enhancing resilience to climate change. - Financial Inclusion and Economic Welfare:
Emerging themes around financial inclusion, particularly in relation to smallholder farmers, are gaining traction. Research is focusing on how access to financial services impacts economic welfare and food security, emphasizing the role of finance in agricultural development. - Technology Adoption and Innovation:
The adoption of technological innovations in agriculture is a rising theme, with an emphasis on evaluating the benefits of improved seeds, sustainable practices, and new agricultural technologies. This trend highlights the importance of innovation in overcoming productivity challenges. - Migration and Adaptation Strategies:
The relationship between migration and agricultural adaptation is increasingly being studied. This reflects a growing understanding of how demographic movements can serve as strategies for coping with climate change and economic pressures in rural areas. - Gender Dynamics and Empowerment:
Research focusing on gender dynamics within agricultural contexts is trending, particularly studies examining the empowerment of women and its effects on agricultural productivity and household welfare, indicating a broader recognition of gender issues in agricultural economics.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Crop Production Methods:
There appears to be a decrease in research focusing solely on traditional farming techniques without integration of modern practices. As the field evolves, there is a growing emphasis on innovation and resilience, leading to lesser focus on conventional methods that do not incorporate sustainability. - General Agricultural Extension Services:
Research on general agricultural extension services has seen a decline as more specific and targeted studies emerge. The journal's focus is shifting towards evaluating the effectiveness of tailored extension services that address specific challenges faced by farmers rather than broad, generalized programs. - Economic Impacts of Specific Commodities:
Studies solely focused on the economic impacts of specific commodities, such as single crops or livestock, are becoming less frequent. Instead, there is a trend towards integrated assessments that consider multiple factors influencing agricultural systems and their broader economic implications.
