Prevalence of contract farming Sample Clauses

Prevalence of contract farming. According to Xxxxxxx (2012: 202), out-grower models have historically reflected the technical requirements of the systems and schemes, but increasingly have to consider the social and civil society elements with equal importance. Xxxxxxx (2012: 202) states that the success of an out-grower scheme and model is dependent on a number of social and technical factors, the latter being considerably easier to manage and mitigate against. Social factors are based around human nature, which is notoriously unpredictable and difficult to comprehend, and is influenced by multiple elements. According to the ActionAid (2015: 9), for an out-grower scheme to be deemed successful, it must meet the following minimum requirements: • it must not result in farmers’ overspecialisation in certain crops to the detriment of building resilience and contributing to local food security; • it must promote sustainable farming practices and not promote reliance on chemicals or expensive seeds, or lead to excessive debts; • it must lead to higher incomes for farmers than they would otherwise earn, compared to alternative models; • it must include women farmers and promote their rights; • it must promote the land rights of farmers, and • it must receive prior and informed consent of those affected in terms of project design and implementation.
