Determinants of intention to adopt maize drying technologies among small-scale farmers in Kenya by Kariuki, Grace

“…Unfortunately, many farmers in developing countries such as Kenya have yet to adopt this technique on a large scale. It is against this background that this research sought to identify the factors that influence the adoption of mechanised maize drying technologies among small-scale farmers in Kenya. …”

The contribution of small-scale fisheries to the community food security of one South African coastal community by Macdonald, Margaret

“…In South Africa, approximately 28,000 small-scale fishers rely on marine resources for food security and livelihoods; however, continued marginalisation of small-scale fishers through discriminatory fisheries regulations favouring the large-scale fisheries sector and poor reallocation of access rights challenges the contribution of small-scale fisheries for community food security. …”

The influence of sampling method on detecting benthic biodiversity patterns at the ecoregion scale on the South African west coast by Brandt, Silke

“…Environmental and spatial gradients, including depth, longitude, and sediment characteristics, played key roles in structuring broad scale biodiversity patterns. The results of this thesis have implications for how biological datasets from trawl and grab surveys should be prioritised or weighted at different ecological scales when incorporated in the South African marine ecosystem classification and mapping process. …”
