The adoption of intercropping, a sustainable agricultural technology, is limited in Europe. This paper investigates factors driving the intention to intercrop in Sweden. Factors included in the analysis are participation in private certification schemes, interactions with peers and agricultural advisors, attitude, knowledge, innovativeness, perceived intercropping attributes and perceived behavioural control. The first two reflect potential socioeconomic determinants and the last four are possible behavioural drivers. For the first time, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and diffusion of innovation theory were integrated to understand farmers’ adoption of sustainable farming practices like intercropping . Structural equation modelling was applied to understand the behavioural drivers, whereas logit regression was employed to identify the socioeconomic determinant of adoption intention. The paper highlights the important role of knowledge in fostering intercropping adoption. Knowledge was associated with innovativeness (B = 0.18, p < 0.001) and influenced perceived attribute (B = 0.395, p < 0.001) and attitude (B = 0.268, p < 0.001) towards intercropping. Sufficient knowledge strengthens farmers’ confidence in implementing intercropping and subsequently facilitates adoption intention (B = 0.287, p < 0.05). Participation in private certification schemes and interactions with peers, a bonding social capital, also stimulates adoption intention (β = 0.91 and β = 0.70, p < 0.05). Policy implications to support intercropping were discussed.
作为一种可持续的农业技术,间作的采用在欧洲是有限的。本文调查了瑞典作物间作意向的驱动因素。分析中包括的因素包括参与私人认证计划、与同行和农业顾问的互动、态度、知识、创新、可感知的间作属性和可感知的行为控制。前两项反映了潜在的社会经济决定因素,后四项是可能的行为驱动因素。首次将计划行为理论(TPB)和创新扩散理论结合起来,以理解农民采用间作等可持续农业实践的原因。结构方程模型用于理解行为驱动因素,而logit回归用于确定收养意愿的社会经济决定因素。本文强调了知识在促进间作采用中的重要作用。知识与间作的创新性(B = 0.18, p < 0.001)、感知属性(B = 0.395, p < 0.001)和态度(B = 0.268, p < 0.001)相关。充分的知识增强了农民实施间作的信心,进而促进了采用意愿(B = 0.287, p < 0.05)。参与私人认证计划和与同伴的互动(一种结合社会资本)也会刺激采用意愿(β = 0.91和β = 0.70, p < 0.05)。讨论了支持间作的政策含义。

Farmers’ adoption of green agricultural technologies (GATs) could reduce the negative environmental impacts of traditional agriculture in China. Despite the benefits of GATs, their adoption rate has not been high. While previous studies have examined the information and communication technologies that influence the adoption of GATs, most have selected only one of the GATs and have not distinguished between public and private channels of knowledge acquisition. In this paper, based on a sample of 732 rural households from Hubei Province, we used a negative binomial model to examine the role of knowledge acquisition channels on GATs adoption. Overall, we found that radio and the government (through its face-to-face channels) are positively associated with farmers’ adoption of GATs; however, farmers adopted more GATs when they had acquired knowledge from the government than from radio. A possible explanation and a policy implication is that direct communication with farmers and practical demonstration of the benefits of GATs are preferred to passive reception of information.
在中国,农民采用绿色农业技术可以减少传统农业对环境的负面影响。尽管服务贸易总协定有好处,但其采用率并不高。虽然以前的研究审查了影响服务贸易总协定采用的信息和通信技术,但大多数研究只选择了服务贸易总协定中的一种,并且没有区分公共和私人获取知识的渠道。本文以湖北省732户农户为样本,采用负二项模型考察了知识获取渠道对服务贸易协定采用的影响。总体而言,我们发现电台和政府(通过其面对面渠道)与农民采用服务贸易协定呈正相关;然而,当农民从政府那里获得知识时,他们采用的服务贸易总协定比从广播中获得的知识要多。一个可能的解释和政策含义是,与被动接受信息相比,与农民直接沟通和实际展示服务贸易总协定的好处更为可取。

Italy has faced a renewed interest in the production of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) in recent times. However, little is known about the status of this agri-food chain. This exploratory study investigates saffron production (from agronomic to social and marketing aspects) in Italy through 162 interviews with farmers. A large part of them (38%) are young, often at a higher level of literacy (bachelor or master) and new entrants in the agricultural sector (data significantly higher than the average for Italian farms). In more than half the cases, saffron production is considered a complementary activity, with an average production of 332 g per farm per year. Saffron farms are spread throughout Italy and are generally located in hilly/sub-mountain areas (between 143 and 703 m a.s.l.). Only 1% of farmers use agrochemicals, and more than 90% do not need irrigation, while just 40% of farms are mechanized, saffron can then be considered a low-input and sustainable choice for farms in marginal areas. Farmers focus on a high-quality product, certified by quality and sustainability labels. However, supply chain coordination, and knowledge and innovation support should be further developed to promote this sustainable production.
意大利最近面临着对生产藏红花(Crocus sativus L.)的新兴趣。然而,人们对这条农业食品链的状况知之甚少。本探索性研究调查了藏红花生产(从农艺到社会和营销方面)在意大利通过162采访农民。他们中的很大一部分(38%)是年轻人,通常具有较高的文化水平(学士或硕士),并且是农业部门的新进入者(数据明显高于意大利农场的平均水平)。在一半以上的情况下,藏红花生产被认为是一种补充活动,每个农场每年的平均产量为332克。藏红花农场遍布意大利各地,通常位于丘陵/亚山区(海拔高度143米至703米之间)。只有1%的农民使用农药,90%以上的农民不需要灌溉,而只有40%的农场是机械化的,因此藏红花可以被认为是边缘地区农场的低投入和可持续选择。农民专注于高质量的产品,通过质量和可持续性标签认证。然而,供应链协调、知识和创新支持应该进一步发展,以促进这种可持续生产。

Addressing global environmental and food challenges necessitates holistic approaches that consider environmental, societal, and economic dimensions. This study examines three large-scale organic farming conversion programs and their associated policies in Sikkim, India, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. Sikkim stands as the world's first state to fully transition to organic agriculture, while Bhutan is embarking on a similar path, and Sri Lanka is implementing a toxin-free program. A qualitative analysis reveals key drivers and barriers in these large-scale conversions. Five crucial factors for successful transitions to large-scale organic farming emerge: effective institutional leadership, affordable third-party certification, phased reduction of agrochemicals through clear political pathways, development of extension networks, market access with price premiums, and the provision of organic inputs. Key drivers include improving rural livelihoods, upscaling traditional farming practices, addressing health concerns related to agrochemicals, and preserving natural resources. Significant challenges include shortages of organic inputs, limited market access, inadequate food supply, a lack of knowledge about alternative practices and inputs, and high certification costs. In addressing these factors and challenges, policymakers and scientists can better navigate the complex landscape of large-scale organic farming conversion.
解决全球环境和粮食挑战需要考虑环境、社会和经济层面的整体方法。本研究考察了锡金、印度、不丹和斯里兰卡的三个大规模有机农业转化项目及其相关政策。锡金是世界上第一个全面过渡到有机农业的国家,不丹正在走上类似的道路,斯里兰卡正在实施一项无毒计划。一项定性分析揭示了这些大规模转换的关键驱动因素和障碍。成功过渡到大规模有机农业的五个关键因素出现了:有效的机构领导,负担得起的第三方认证,通过明确的政治途径分阶段减少农用化学品,发展推广网络,以溢价进入市场,以及提供有机投入。主要驱动因素包括改善农村生计、改进传统耕作方式、解决与农用化学品有关的健康问题以及保护自然资源。重大挑战包括有机投入物短缺、市场准入受限、食品供应不足、缺乏替代做法和投入物知识以及认证成本高。在解决这些因素和挑战的过程中,决策者和科学家可以更好地驾驭大规模有机农业转化的复杂局面。

Climate change and public health emergencies have severely threatened world food security. In response, the Chinese government has actively promoted sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) and emphasized the importance of integrated packages to enhance the development of high-quality agriculture. However, due to information failure, farmers’ adoption rate of SAPs is still very low. Meanwhile, internet use can effectively reduce the cost of information barriers and catalyze farmers to promote the joint adoption of SAPs. This paper aims to theoretically elucidate the logic of how internet use impacts farmers’ joint adoption of SAPs. Empirical analysis based on data from 844 rice farmers in southern China reveals that internet use can significantly promote the joint adoption of SAPs, and adoption behaviours are complementary across multiple technologies. Furthermore, internet use in the group of rice farmers with more farmlands or those receiving subsidies is more inclined to adopt SAPs jointly. These findings suggest that developing countries should prioritize public investment in rural internet infrastructure to facilitate joint adoption of SAPs through farmers’ internet use. The moderate scale of farmland usage and targeted agricultural subsidy policies can further enhance the effectiveness of ICT-based joint adoption of SAPs.
气候变化和突发公共卫生事件严重威胁世界粮食安全。为此,中国政府积极推进可持续农业实践,强调综合配套措施对促进高质量农业发展的重要性。然而,由于信息缺失,农民对sap的采用率仍然很低。同时,互联网的使用可以有效降低信息壁垒成本,促进农民共同采用sap。本文旨在从理论上阐明互联网使用如何影响农民共同采用sap的逻辑。基于南方844名稻农数据的实证分析表明,互联网的使用可以显著促进sap的联合采用,且采用行为在多种技术之间是互补的。此外,拥有更多农田或获得补贴的稻农群体的互联网使用更倾向于联合采用sap。这些发现表明,发展中国家应优先考虑对农村互联网基础设施进行公共投资,以通过农民使用互联网促进sap的共同采用。适度的耕地使用规模和有针对性的农业补贴政策可以进一步提高基于信息通信技术的联合采用sap的有效性。

Integrated farming system (IFS), comprising various enterprises such as crop, horticulture, dairy, poultry and fishery optimally, uses farm resources to suit small and medium farms of India. In this study, 55 IFSs with different sizes and several enterprises were assessed in terms of their environment impact, eco-efficiency and technical efficiency (TE). The households, which own these IFS, were grouped into four major categories based on farm size viz., marginal (<0.8 ha), small (0.8–1.2 ha), medium (1.2–2.0 ha) and large (>2.0 ha). Among the farm size category, the highest eco-efficiency was recorded for marginal farms, whereas the lowest eco-efficiency was observed for small farms. The highest eco-efficiency was recorded for farm having five enterprises (INR195 kg CO2eq. ha−1) followed by four enterprises (INR190 kg CO2eq.ha−1). Among the enterprises, the highest eco-efficiency was recorded in fruits, whereas the lowest eco-efficiency was observed in dairy. The TE scores estimated using stochastic frontier analysis decreased with increasing farm size and the highest TE score was recorded for marginal farms, whereas medium and large farms recorded the lowest TE scores.

综合农业系统(IFS)由作物、园艺、乳制品、家禽和渔业等各种企业组成,最优地利用农场资源来适应印度的中小型农场。本研究以55间不同规模及多间企业的ifs为研究对象,就其环境影响、生态效率及技术效率(TE)进行评估。拥有这些IFS的家庭根据农场规模分为四大类,即边际(2.0公顷)。在农场规模类别中,边际农场的生态效率最高,而小农场的生态效率最低。拥有5家企业的农场(INR195 kg co2当量)的生态效率最高。ha−1),其次是4家企业(INR190 kg CO2eq.ha−1)。其中,水果行业的生态效率最高,而乳制品行业的生态效率最低。使用随机前沿分析估计的TE得分随着农场规模的增加而降低,边缘农场的TE得分最高,而中型和大型农场的TE得分最低。调查结果表明,有必要提供培训和示范以及资金支持和补贴,以便更广泛地采用IFS以获得更高的回报。

In this study, 55 IFSs with different sizes and several enterprises were assessed in terms of their environment impact, eco-efficiency and technical efficiency (TE). The households, which own these IFS, were grouped into four major categories based on farm size viz., marginal (<0.8 ha), small (0.8–1.2 ha), medium (1.2–2.0 ha) and large (>2.0 ha). Among the farm size category, the highest eco-efficiency was recorded for marginal farms, whereas the lowest eco-efficiency was observed for small farms. The highest eco-efficiency was recorded for farm having five enterprises (INR195 kg CO2eq. ha−1) followed by four enterprises (INR190 kg CO2eq.ha−1). Among the enterprises, the highest eco-efficiency was recorded in fruits, whereas the lowest eco-efficiency was observed in dairy. The TE scores estimated using stochastic frontier analysis decreased with increasing farm size and the highest TE score was recorded for marginal farms, whereas medium and large farms recorded the lowest TE scores.
