英文文献摘要：
Jatropha curcas L. (or physic nut), a previously underutilized tree species in smallholder farming systems, is fast gaining formal recognition as a very important tree crop in improving rural livelihoods. The Government of Zimbabwe is vigorously promoting the growing of Jatropha in marginal areas for bio-diesel production to save the country foreign currency in fuel imports. A study was carried out in 12 out of 19 wards of Mutoko district in 2007 to analyze the socio-economics of Jatropha commercial utilization by smallholder farmers in marginal areas as a livelihood improvement strategy. The analysis involved categorizing farming households according to socio-economic characteristics and finding the effects they have on commercial utilization of Jatropha. The study employed binary logistic (Logit) and Tobit regression analyses in meeting the research objectives. Size of landholding, household’s wealth status and perception about the price were the socio-economic factors found to be significant in influencing decision by households to adopt (or not adopt) commercial utilization of Jatropha. The concludes by recommending that For successful Jatropha commercialization to be realized and the smallholder farmers’ livelihoods improved, there is need for the government to put in place a complete package of incentives that will stimulate optimal exploitation of the Jatropha plant, including adjusting the selling price to viable levels.
麻风树(麻疯树)，一种在小农农业系统中未得到充分利用的树种，正迅速获得正式承认，它是改善农村生计的一种非常重要的树木作物。津巴布韦的bb0正在大力促进在边缘地区种植麻疯树，用于生产生物柴油，以节省该国燃料进口的外汇。2007年，在Mutoko区19个区中的12个区开展了一项研究，以分析边缘地区小农商业利用麻风树作为改善生计战略的社会经济学。分析包括根据社会经济特征对农户进行分类，并发现农户对麻风树商业利用的影响。本研究采用二元logistic (Logit)和Tobit回归分析来达到研究目的。土地拥有规模、家庭财富地位和对价格的认知是影响家庭是否采用麻风树商业利用的重要社会经济因素。建议的总结成功的麻疯树实现商业化和小农的生计改善,政府需要制定一套完整的激励机制,将刺激最优利用麻风树,包括调整销售价格可行的水平。
