Abstract: Particularly crop production in Ethiopia is characterized by intensive tillage and especially these resource poor farmers with limited access to draft power were more affected by thus repeated tillage. Survey was conducted to determine benefits of minimum tillage practices and to identify factor affects adoption of minimum tillage practice for teff production in East Wollaga and West Shoa zone of western Oromia region of Ethiopia. The Survey was conducted in four districts of the zone namely Diga and Sibu Sire from East Wollaga zone, Liban Jawi and Bako Tibe districts from West Shoa zone. Furthermore, the survey was carried out with 205 farmers in four districts where minimum tillage (MT) practice was expected to be relatively high. In the study the minimum tillage practice was calculated to profit 1.8 birr for each 1 birr of costs than for conventional tillage (1.3 birr). A logistic regression was used to estimate how marginal changes in household characteristics affect the probability of MT adoption. Farmers who have never tried MT have less access to training and credit access. They were also having high family size, with old age than adopter. To promote the adoption of MT, policymakers and concerned stakeholders should consider small holder farmers’ age, family size, access to training and credit aspects for promotion of minimum tillage practices.

Abstract: The management of community waste is a key challenge facing ecological civilization construction and urban sustainable development, its complexity and public nature requiring collaborative governance among multiple stakeholders. The article conducts a systematic analysis of the current waste sorting governance status in X District of L City, combining the theory of multi-stakeholder governance. This article uses method of induction, questionnaire survey, field research, and other methods to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current state of urban waste management in X District. The main investigation directions are: the various measures currently used for waste management in X District, the actual level of residents' acceptance and compliance, and the shortcomings of the waste management model at the practical level. Research results indicate that X District in L City has initially formed a waste sorting governance model characterized by "government leadership, business operations, and public participation," but there still exist shortcomings, such as inadequate waste sorting supervision and untimely maintenance of waste collection facilities, which require greater collaboration among all governance entities: Government should further ensure the implementability of policies and improve the professional competence of relevant personnel, proposing incentive mechanisms for enterprises and community entities. Government must guide these entities to participate in governance voluntarily and in an orderly manner, thereby helping the local waste classification governance advance to a new stage.
