DESCRIPTION:Individuals do not always make decisions according to traditio
 nal economic rationality\; instead\, behavioral factors such as perception
 s\, information\, and aspirations shape how they value and adopt new techn
 ologies. We present 3 examples of how these factors influence farmer accep
 tance and valuation of agricultural-nutrition interventions\, specifically
  iron- and zinc-biofortified beans and vitamin A biofortified maize seeds 
 in Zimbabwe. First\, we examine how experimental quantity design affects f
 armers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) for biofortified bean seeds. Second\, w
 e evaluate how nutrition information and farmer aspirations influence dema
 nd for biofortified bean seeds. Finally\, we examine how different types a
 nd combinations of information—including labeling\, vitamin A deficiency
  and its health impacts\, the nutritional benefits of vitamin A-biofortifi
 ed maize\, and cooking-quality attributes such as taste and cooking time
 —influence farmers’ WTP for vitamin A biofortified maize seed.

SUMMARY:ZEF Colloquium: Becoming river

DESCRIPTION:Water is at the center of the struggle for life. Modern civili
 zation's dependence on capitalist formations has led to the destruction of
  ecosystems and water-bodies as sacred entities. Rivers and mudflats\, as 
 complex hybrid networks\, reveal ways of living amid a planetary crisis an
 d can offer creative socio-ecological care practices. Drawing from extensi
 ve fieldwork in Latin America and the Caribbean\, Denisse Roca-Servat\, pr
 oposes to think with water as a point of departure for envisioning alterna
 tives to the extractive-capitalist model. Becoming river\, therefore\, imp
 lies considering geo-hydro-social diversity\, its historical foundations\,
  its multi-scalar assemblages\, and ultimately\, committing to build alter
 native hydrosocial relations\, intersecting decolonial\, feminist\, and co
 smopolitical justice approaches.
