This study analyses the determinants of the avoidance behaviour of households to cope with unsafe drinking water in the cities of Douala and Yaoundé in Cameroon. The study is based on primary data collected in 2013 from a sample of 789 households in the two cities. The nested logit model is used for empirical analysis. The main findings of the estimated models are as follows: the decision to improve water quality decreases when the head of the household is a man and when there is no child in the household. Furthermore, it decreases when wealth and the level of education are low. In addition, the probability of using a given avoidance method decreases with its cost of adoption and increases with its perceived efficiency (that is, the favourable opinion on the quality of water after treatment). The implications for public policies are discussed in this paper.

Understanding adaptation to climate variability in smallholder farming systems in eastern Zimbabwe: a sociological perspective / Sandra Bhatasara in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement, Vol.99, N°2 ([01/09/2018])

Public ISBD [article]  inRevue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement > Vol.99, N°2 [01/09/2018] . - pp 149–166 Titre : Understanding adaptation to climate variability in smallholder farming systems in eastern Zimbabwe: a sociological perspective Type de document : Article Auteurs : Sandra Bhatasara, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 149–166 Langues : Anglais (eng) Français (fre) Catégories : [Thesagri] variation climatique [Thesagri] Zimbabwe Note de contenu : The literature on climate change in Zimbabwe continues to grow, but literature specifically focusing on how people in rural communities are responding to it is still comparatively limited. Only a few scholars have sought to offer a reasonably detailed account of farmers’ concerns and adaptation from localised, qualitative case studies based on farmers’ narratives. As such, this article is empirically based, using mainly qualitative data from a broader research on understanding climate variability and livelihood adaptation conducted in Mutoko District in rural Zimbabwe. In doing so, the aim is not only to contribute empirical data to existing knowledge but also more importantly to theorise adaptation sociologically. The main argument is that farmers are reflexively engaged in various adaptive strategies predominantly at the household level not only to adapt to increasing climatic variability but also to simultaneously navigate a difficult socio-economic landscape. The adaptive strategies are underpinned by diverse structures, processes and conditions that are enabling and constraining. Hence adaptation is unfolding as a complex and reflexive process under specific socio-spatial conditions.

Collective conceptualization and management of risk for arsenic pollution in urban community gardens / Camille Dumat ; Antoine Pierart ; Muhammad Shahid ; Jingtao Wu in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement, Vol.99, N°2 ([01/09/2018])

Public ISBD [article]  inRevue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement > Vol.99, N°2 [01/09/2018] . - pp 167–187 Titre : Collective conceptualization and management of risk for arsenic pollution in urban community gardens Type de document : Article Auteurs : Camille Dumat, Auteur ; Antoine Pierart, Auteur ; Muhammad Shahid, Auteur ; Jingtao Wu, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 167–187 Langues : Anglais (eng) Français (fre) Catégories : [Thesagri] mesure de la pollution [Thesagri] milieu urbain [Thesagri] pollution des sols Note de contenu : At the global scale, an increase in urban gardening activities is being observed and the question of produce quality is therefore regularly investigated in relation to pollutant transfer in the environment. The scientific question investigated in the present study was in what way is the presence of arsenic pollution detected in community gardens a public problem and how would each party take ownership of this issue? An interdisciplinary and participative research study “JASSUR” based on both agronomy and risk assessments was conducted in a French collective garden impacted by arsenic pollution in the well water used for irrigation. Gardener surveys and public meetings examined the gardeners’ representations of risk and research solutions for sustainable site management. The theoretical framework of Gilbert which applies a social construction of risk was used. Without an official arsenic limit concentration for vegetables produced in the gardens, a collective risk construction and management process took place. Arsenic total and human bioaccessible concentrations were measured in both vegetables and soil and compared to reference data from a national database to assess the level of health risk. Vegetable quantities produced were obtained in the field from gardeners using harvest booklets. On the basis of a quantitative assessment of the health risk due to produced vegetable consumption, it was concluded that gardening activities could safely continue. However, the regional health authorities forbid the use of the arsenic polluted water, and the wells were permanently closed. By favoring the exchanges between the gardeners and the other stakeholders (researchers and politicians), the arsenic pollution led to structuration in the community of gardeners and permitted a collective construction of risk management.

Understanding transition in animal based food consumption: a case study in the city of Vadodara in Gujarat (India) / Estelle Fourat ; Shagufa Kapadia ; Urvi Shah ; Vaishali Zararia ; Nicolas Bricas in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement, Vol.99, N°2 ([01/09/2018])

This process is expected to lead to a change in lifestyles and dietary patterns, and notably higher consumption of animal based foods. The present article focuses on this changing dietary trend in the city of Vadodara in Gujarat (India). A stratified sample of 432 women and men was selected, representing Brahmin, non-Brahmin and Jain communities from high, medium and low socioeconomic strata. The results revealed that, in the transition process, the supposed protein shift from plant- to animal based foods takes specific forms in this cultural context because of more complex drivers that shape food consumption than the socioeconomic position in the society. It highlights that beyond the supra-determination of castes and socioeconomic classes, major drivers of this consumption are the norms and values attached to foods and their interrelations with eating practices according to spatiotemporal and social dimensions. This Indian case reveals that dietary change is not unidirectional towards the Western model but each culture has a unique form of transition.
