Factors Influencing the Uptake of Agroforestry Practices among Rural Households: Empirical Evidence from the KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa.

Agroforestry is recognized as a significant element in climate-smart agriculture due to its high potential for addressing food insecurity, climate change challenges, and ecosystem management.

Adopting agroforestry practices requires understanding rural households' socio-economic and socio-psychological factors.

Towards identifying enablers and inhibitors to on-farm entrepreneurship: evidence from smallholders in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Enabling on-farm entrepreneurship is an important step to enhance the contribution of smallholder agriculture to rural employment and poverty reduction in South Africa. Using attributes derived from positive psychological capital as proxies for entrepreneurship and data collected from 458 smallholders in and around irrigation schemes in KwaZulu-Natal, the study empirically examines factors affecting smallholder engagement in entrepreneurship activities. Findings show that access to extension and information from scheme committees, being a male farmer, having more earned income, membership to a cooperative and access to markets have a positive effect on farmers' entrepreneurial behaviour.
