  • The Role of Non-Farm Income During Variable Rainfall: the Case of Rural Farm Households in Ijere Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
    www.ijird.com February, 2019 Vol 8 Issue 2 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) The Role of Non-Farm Income during Variable Rainfall: The Case of Rural Farm Households in Ijere Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia Biruk Sisay Desulie Lecturer, Department of Rural Development and Agricultural Extension, Ambo University, Ethiopia Abstract: A growing body of empirical evidence shows that rainfall is highly variable throughout Ethiopia. This situation coupled with poor irrigation development, small agricultural land holding, and population pressure forced rural households to diversify their income sources into off-farm and non-farm activities. However, the contribution of these activities to total income of households and their role on reducing vulnerability of farmers to rainfall variability has not been studied. This study, using cross sectional data from Ijere woreda, Oromia regions and employing both descriptive and econometric analysis, attempted to explain the various off-farm & nonfarm activities, measured their contribution to total household income, and analyzed the role of such incomes on households’ vulnerability to rainfall variability. As such, the study found that rural households who participated in off-farm and non-farm activities were able to earn 9.7% and 7% of their total income, respectively. Results also indicated that off-farm and nonfarm activities helped participant households to smooth their income over years enabling them to be less exposed to income fluctuation and rainfall variability than nonparticipants. Thus, income diversification is found a significant livelihood strategy to hedge against weather risks – rainfall variability. Yet, Off-farm activities are found to be more of labor intensive and used for day-to-day consumption.

Thus, local farming communities, Development Agents (DA), Agriculture and Natural resource, Forest and Environmental Protection Officials & Experts are the participant of this study. The study employed descriptive survey research design and both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collections were employed. To assess community environmental awareness survey questionnaire questions (both open and close ended) were distributed for 240 sample respondents. An interview with10 Key informant interviews were also conducted with the head of natural resource management offices of selected woredas and six development agents (DA) in sample selected kebeles and four focus group discussions (FDG) consisted of 10 members were also employed to collect qualitative data.The findings show that all the respondents aware of forest and natural resource degradation about (87%) and (75.4%) were aware of clearing of forest to expand farmland for growing population and cutting trees for fuel wood, charcoal and other forest productsrespectively.
