Context and Case Study Overview Sample Clauses

Context and Case Study Overview. Three regional states in Ethiopia, namely, Oromia, Benshanguel Gumuz and Gambella Regional States, were selected for two important reasons: (1) as discussed in the preceding section, massive agricultural investment projects flowed to these regions and studying impacts of intervention in these regions will potentially help improve agricultural policies; and (2) the regions chosen have different population density, level of infrastructure development, market integration, local livelihood patterns, natural resource base, skilled and unskilled labour availability, etc. Investment in large-scale farming under such different regional settings will not only have differential impacts on local economic development, but also differing degrees of success or failure. Oromia Regional State provides information on the impacts of large-scale agricultural investment in the highlands 3 of Ethiopia. Its dense settlements are smallholder dominated and it enjoys a relatively better infrastructure and market integration, better availability of skilled and unskilled labour, and a statutory dominated land tenure system. While Oromia can be considered as a densely populated and smallholder dominated region, it is by no means representative of other highland regions of the country, and the aim here is to have an overview of the differential impacts of large-scale farming when investment is made in the highlands and lowlands. The other two regions represent the lowland parts of the country where a customary land tenure system dominates with sparsely populated agro-pastoralist communities who practise small-scale crop production through shifting cultivation using hand and hoe. Availability of labour, infrastructure development and level of market integration is very low in these regions, which will give us the opportunity to compare impacts with the investment in the highlands. The selection of these three regions (Figure 1.1) helps to address the issue of differential impacts discussed under proposition I, above. The case studies (large-scale farms) in these regions were selected explicitly guided by the three propositions discussed earlier. The case studies and the households living around the vicinity of the large-scale farms were used as a unit of analysis. The types of case studies that I have included in my study are those investment projects that produce food crops (e.g. maize), 3 Highlands are those parts of Ethiopia that have altitudes ranging between 1500 to 2500 m above s...
