  • combining Principal component analysis and logistic regression models to assess household level food Security among smallholder cash crop producers in kenya
    Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture, 2009
    Co-Authors: E K Nyaga, Werner Doppler
    Abstract:

    Concerns about rising food inSecurity in developing countries have prompted a lot of research. This paper deals with household survey of cash crop smallholders in Murang’a District, Kenya. The paper focuses on how factors related to cash crops production affect food Security. Principal component analysis was applied in developing a relative food Security index that was used as an outcome variable in logistic regression to predict factors affecting food Security in this region. Results indicate that the percentage of food secure households is lower in the tea zone. This is despite relatively higher income from tea production. Income from tea is used in food purchase because of insignificant own production. Coffee farmers concentrate more in food than coffee production. They may therefore produce adequate for their households and sell any surplus. Further results indicate that increasing land under cash crop would increase the likelihood of a household being food insecure.

A majority of Cisco’s equipment contains custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and logic in Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), as well as the millions of lines of software running on these proprietary platforms. All of these are key competitive differentiators. This presentation will discuss how Cisco is investing in preserving the integrity of these systems and platforms from the design stages, through a global supply and manufacturing chain, and onto customer premises. These platform protections need to prevent not just traditional market threats such as counterfeits, but unauthorized modification and tampering throughout the product’s lifecycle as well as the workloads and data entrusted to it
