Agriculture is highly cereal-centric in EIGP. Increasing crop diversification within the EIGP region could improve agricultural sustainability, but knowledge of the spatiotemporal patterns of crop diversification and how it varies across EIGP countries is limited. In this study, we used historical sub-national crop data from India (1966–2022), Nepal (2000–2022), and Bangladesh (1971–2022) to measure crop diversification and compare it with the existing sub-district level scale. Crop diversification was measured using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). We found a noticeable increase in overall crop diversification in EIGP during this period but with spatiotemporal variations between the countries and seasons. Furthermore, while comparing sub-national patterns with existing sub-district patterns, we found opposing trends. Our data suggest that sub-national diversification patterns are an aggregate measure that may obscure the diversification pattern at the district, sub-strict, and even community level diversification. Measurements of sub-national crop diversification may appear to have moderate diversification overall, but this could result from some districts having high levels of diversification while others more oriented towards monocropping and a lack of diverse crop rotations. Our findings provide a new approach and a baseline of crop diversification in the EIGP for future research and interventions agricultural policy and development planners.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100522,"journal":{"name":"Farming System","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143145758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perennial rice, a novel no-tillage-based rice system, presents a promising solution with the potential to address many of these challenges. It offers several advantages, such as reduced production costs and labor demands by eliminating the need for repeated land preparation, nursery raising, and transplanting while also lowering environmental impact through energy conservation, soil carbon sequestration, reduced soil erosion, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. The perennial rice system is gaining traction in China, with the area under cultivation steadily increasing since its release in 2018. Farmers are interested in adopting this system due to its lower labor demand, reduced production costs, and yields and grain quality comparable to local varieties. However, perennial rice brings its own challenges, including yield instability, inconsistency in grain quality, higher irrigation demands, increased risks of pests and diseases, soil sickness, and the lack of suitable agronomic practices, such as optimum crop geometry, weed management, nutrient application, and harvesting techniques. Additionally, it limits crop diversification, making it less suitable for regions with diversified or multiple cropping systems. Despite these limitations, perennial rice demonstrates significant potential in several rice-growing regions worldwide. To fully unlock this potential, focused efforts are needed to develop high-yielding perennial varieties with better grain quality and resistance to pests and diseases. Additionally, region-specific agronomic practices, including optimal crop geometry, effective weed control, innovative nutrient management, and improved irrigation, must be established to optimize this cropping system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100522,"journal":{"name":"Farming System","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143145195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as this is a novel measure within the CAP, its contribution to climate mitigation objectives and the cost effectiveness of the current area payments under the eco-schemes are unclear. This study investigated the cost effectiveness of eco-scheme premiums within the CAP 2023, focusing on their potential to enhance climate protection through Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) in Baden-Württemberg (BW). We used a geospatial economic land use model with a life cycle assessment to evaluate the impact of varying premium levels on GHG emissions. Our findings suggested that increasing the premium to €400 ​ha⁻¹ ​yr⁻¹ could offset up to 1.5% of the current agricultural GHG emissions of BW. However, this effect did vary between 0.1% and 8% due to input uncertainties such as economic factors and mitigation potential. The resulting payments per ton of mitigated CO₂eq ranged from €70 to €454, averaging €140. These results indicated that higher eco-scheme premiums could effectively promote SRC as a climate mitigation strategy, but their cost effectiveness is highly variable. Despite uncertainties in our model framework, which may influence these evaluations, our study provided valuable insights into the potential of eco-scheme premiums for climate protection. Although our findings were specific to Germany, they offer relevant guidance for EU policymakers responsible for designing national CAP strategies and eco-schemes.

As global warming and climate variabilities increasingly affect most of the rice growing regions including India, it is vital to introduce alternative options to rice-rice monocropping. To address this issue, we developed a climate smart index (CSI) to evaluate the climate smartness of different cropping systems such as, rice-sunflower (R-S), rice-maize (R-M), rice-black gram (R-BG) and rice-green gram (R-GG) compared to a conventional rice-rice (R-R) system grown in the eastern coastal belt of India. Diversifying rice-based cropping systems with legumes and sunflower significantly enhanced system productivity and the partial factor productivity of nitrogen by 33–41% and 40–45%, respectively over the rice-rice cropping system. Further, these systems reduced the global warming potential (GWP) by 46.3–51% compared to the rice-rice system. The soil organic carbon content increased by about 5–7 % due to the adoption of pulse crops. The climate-smart index for rice-sunflower (R-S), rice-black gram (R-BG), rice-green gram (R-GG), and rice-maize (R-M) systems were found to be higher than the rice-rice (R-R) system by 26.5%, 18.7%, 18.7%, and 14.9% respectively, on average across seasons. Hence, incorporating legumes and oilseed crops during the dry/minor seasons of the year in rice-based cropping systems can be proposed as a climate-smart alternative. Further, we propose conducting large-scale assessments of these cropping systems using spatial data to deliver decision tools for regional planning and policy formulation in agriculture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100522,"journal":{"name":"Farming System","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143145759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from 312 participants collected before (2016) and after (2019) the project's intervention were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Farmers in this region readily adopted diverse IFSs, integrating crop cultivation, livestock rearing, vegetable production, agroforestry, fish farming, and open-water fish catching, ensuring efficient resource utilization across enterprises. Predominantly, farmers adopted the Crop ​+ ​Livestock ​+ ​Homestead–Agroforestry ​+ ​Open water fish catching system, which had a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 1.40, while the Livestock ​+ ​Homestead–Agroforestry ​+ ​Open water fish catching system demonstrated the highest BCR at 1.58, indicating economic viability. Moreover, the adoption of IFSs led to a statistically significant increase in farming income (p ​&lt; ​0.10), contributing to a notable rise in total income. This adoption also correlated with significant improvements in human and financial capital, indicating a positive transformation in livelihood patterns.

Findings point to four promising approaches (innovative, empowerment, historical and knowledge co-creation, and structural and systemic) that can effectively address the complex challenges and promote sustainability in behaviour change agriculture. By emphasizing long-term solutions and empowering farmers to make informed decisions, these approaches contribute to improved environmental health, increased farm economic profitability, and enhanced social equity and well-being for farmers.

Thus, adoption of sustainable practices is influenced by a combination of factors, rather than any single variable behaviour and the implication of these factors can vary significantly across different regions and cultural contexts. Our analysis makes important contributions, namely, (i) defining behaviour change in sustainable agriculture, (ii) approaches on how behaviour change can occur, and (iii) model development on sustainable agriculture behaviour change.

Implementing climate-smart agriculture technology (CSAT) is essential for ensuring food security and promoting economic growth in the context of sustainable agriculture. Climate change and weather patterns significantly affect agricultural yield, necessitating the implementation of more efficient, productive, and climate-resilient techniques. However, the use of CSAT is a behavioural decision that affects the subjective well-being of the users. Using smart agricultural practices reduces climate change's impact on agricultural productivity and promotes sustainable agriculture, improving adopters' welfare. This study examines how the use of CSAT affects rural households' subjective well-being in Odisha, India. The result of the study shows that the use of CSAT significantly affects the subjective well-being of the farmers. The measured impact is 0.149, 0.181, and 0.144 for farmers whose intensity is 0.251–0.500, 0.501–0.750, and 0.751 and above, respectively, as compared to farmers whose intensity is 0.0–0.250. This implies greater satisfaction for farmers who engage in the moderate use of CSAT practices. Low utilization of technology may not yield benefits for farmers, while the adoption of advanced technology may not be economically viable. Additionally, CSAT is not easily available to households residing in low-lying areas, preventing them from improving their well-being. Only a small number of landowners in impoverished areas utilize CSAT. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate government regulations regarding land and tenancy as well as develop measures for farmers to adapt to new technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100522,"journal":{"name":"Farming System","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142319736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
