It was conducted in Ethiopia during two months in the spring of 2010. We would like to thank Staffan Rosell for giving us the idea from the start and for all the encouragement and valuable inputs during this project; Mats Olvmo for guidance, help and tutorial; Abdi Girma for spotless interpreting and helpful assistance during our field work; Lars Johansson for interesting conversations and help with GIS; Gustaf Asplund for letting us stay in his house in Addis Ababa; Sofia Thorsson and Eskil Mattson for believing in our project idea; Jessica Lindquist, Martin Madar Johansson and Robert Ekberg for keeping our spirit up with a pleasant working atmosphere. ii ABSTRACT This paper is about farmers in three villages on the slope of Mount Wenchi in rural Ethiopia, and their struggle for retaining and improving their livelihood situations by being affected by, and in its turn affecting, the nature in which they live. Our study analyzes the impact of natural conditions and other livelihood aspects on farmers’ livelihood situation, with focus on natural capital. Some of the methods we have been working with are interviews, both semi-structured and focus group interviews, field mapping with a GPS, soil sampling and we also developed our own livelihood classification system. The three villages are all at different altitude and there are dissimilarities in the possibilities for ones livelihood situation caused by the varying natural conditions. In the village at the lowest altitude they have flat land, irrigation, large land areas, better soil than the other villages; and in the village at the highest altitude they are subjected to erosion, have sloping and small land areas and unproductive soils. These differences reflect and explain the dissimilarities between the villages; the possibilities for a good livelihood situation decreases as the altitude increases on the slope of Mount Wenchi. The most significant differences are concerning topography, water accessibility, land areas and soil physical properties. Our study further indicates that for poorer households, dependant on rain fed agriculture, enset plays a more important role than it does for richer households. But it is clear that enset is a security for farmers in Wenchi Woreda, it guarantees food when the cereal crop harvests fail, and even rich farmers grow it close to their homestead. Key words: natural conditions, livelihood, natural capital, Ethiopia, agriculture, soils. iii TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................................................................... 1 1.

They rarely produce for the market and are highly dependent on climate for their subsistence. In this paper, the market options available to these farmers, as well as market related factors that are problematic were investigated. Multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to draw sample of 150 teff producers. Double hurdle model was used to identify factors affecting market participation and intensity of marketed surplus of teff. Market participation of smallholder farmers was significantly affected by access to credit, perception of farmers on lagged market price of teff, family size, agroecology, farm size and ownership of transport equipment.

    INTRODUCTION The Peace and Development Center [PDC] is a non-for-profit and non-governmental organization registered in Ethiopia, governed by its mission, values, goals and objectives to institute a civic leadership. This commitment is embodied in both collective and comprehensive policies that value the importance of peaceful dialogue, purposeful management, and resolutions using collective and inclusive participation of its leadership. This includes, but is not limited to, institutionalization of mediation steered by “elders” rooted in grassroots leadership deeply concerned about its role as concerned citizens of traditional and contemporary Ethiopia. These concepts are honored practices that represent Ethiopia, an independent sovereign nation. PDC is recognized as the first contemporary Ethiopian civic organization initiated by vested “elder groups” with roots in the body politics, cultural, social, economic, secular and faith-based ethos of Ethiopia. Today, PDC marks and celebrates a solemn occasion of its 25th Silver Jubilee since its inception in 1989 in Diaspora. There are several traditional elder-based institutions and practices throughout Ethiopian history. Many of which can be described as sui generis, bringing the traditional Ethiopian ethos and spirit of reconciliation, community solidarity congenial for dialogue, harmony, tolerance and coexistence. PDC’s founders are concerned citizens and leaders who responded to the call for “Peace, Stability and Sustainable Development” in Ethiopia. In so doing, PDC has evolved from special experience and expertise in assembling and establishing civic coalitions and grassroots organizations made of multidisciplinary, multicultural and interfaith-based membership inside and outside Ethiopia. It has remained faithful to its indigenous and international contacts and strategy to enhance peaceful resolutions and mediation.
