Adoption patterns of Climate-Smart Agriculture in integrated crop-livestock smallholder farming systems of Zimbabwe

Angeline Mujeyi et al.

Summary: This study examines the adoption patterns and determinants of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) technologies using a multivariate analysis approach. Findings suggest that different household typologies show variations in adopting CSA technologies, influenced by factors such as resources, experience, and cultural background. Policy recommendations include enhancing access to credit, weather forecasts, and extension services for farmers.

Extreme weather events risk to crop-production and the adaptation of innovative management strategies to mitigate the risk: A retrospective survey of rural Punjab, Pakistan

Ehsan Elahi et al.

Summary: Evaluation of climate-induced crop damages is important for developing innovative technologies and management strategies to reduce vulnerability in agriculture. This study analyzed survey data from 1232 wheat growers in Pakistan to estimate the production risk of weather shocks on wheat farms and the effectiveness of different management strategies. The results showed that extreme weather events had significant adverse effects on wheat crop damages, especially when occurring close to harvest time. The adoption of adaptive measures significantly reduced wheat losses, and factors such as education, farming experience, family size, cropping area, and access to weather forecast information also influenced the adoption of innovative management strategies.

Farm typology of smallholders integrated farming systems in Southern Coastal Plains of Kerala, India

Anitrosa Innazent et al.

Summary: The adoption of an integrated farming system is crucial for ensuring food and nutritional security for small and marginal holdings. A sample survey in a specific area was conducted to assess the resource availability and socio-economic condition of the farm households and classify them into different farm types. The study also analyzed the severity of constraints in different aspects of farming for each farm type, providing valuable insights for targeted interventions.

Md Noor E. Alam Siddique et al.

Summary: Characterization of smallholder land resource endowment and cropping practice can assist in the implementation of Soil Carbon Management (SCM). This study identified three different farming system types based on land resource and cropping practice data from farmers in Bangladesh. The study also assessed the potential for improving soil carbon in these systems.

Identifying Potential for Decision Support Tools through Farm Systems Typology Analysis Coupled with Participatory Research: A Case for Smallholder Farmers in Myanmar

So Pyay Thar et al.

Summary: Decision Support Tools (DSTs) in agriculture have not been widely accepted by smallholder farmers due to the lack of consideration for the complexity of heterogeneous smallholder farming systems. However, through farm typology analysis and participatory research, this study identified six different types of farm systems in central Myanmar, with farmers from one type indicating that DSTs could be useful for gaining more information and knowledge. The study also found that farmers prefer discussion groups as a learning-based approach over prescriptive tools, and prefer video clips and infographics integrated into familiar digital platforms for information dissemination.

Rural livelihood diversity and its influence on the ecological intensification potential of smallholder farms in Kenya

Monica K. Kansiime et al.

Summary: Smallholder farmers play a crucial role in global agriculture, but they often face yield gaps and struggle to reach their production potential. Ecological Intensification (EI) offers a sustainable approach to agriculture by utilizing biodiversity-based ecosystem services to increase yield and reduce reliance on agrochemical inputs. A study in central Kenya found significant potential for EI practices on smallholder farms, with different farm typologies influencing the adoption of EI practices and knowledge sharing methods.

Utilizing a farm typology for the development of rubber-based farming: a case from Moneragala district, Sri Lanka

J. K. S. Sankalpa et al.

Summary: This study categorized farm households in immature rubber lands based on their socioeconomic characteristics, identifying six predominant rubber-based farm types. This classification helps in identifying enabling factors and barriers in technology adoption and further development of rubber-based farming. The mixed data analysis approach used in this study can be applied in other similar farm typology studies.

Characterizing cassava farmer typologies and their seed sourcing practices to explore opportunities for economically sustainable seed business models in Rwanda

Fleur Kilwinger et al.

Summary: The study in Rwanda revealed that while more commercial oriented farmers have better access to formal seed sources, the majority of farmers across all typologies still obtain cassava seeds through informal channels. Tailoring cassava seed business models to account for differences among farmers is crucial for success, but careful coordination is needed to ensure that one approach does not conflict with others.

Farm typology for planning targeted farming systems interventions for smallholders in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Jashanjot Kaur et al.

Summary: This study assessed the diversity of smallholder farms by conducting principal component analysis and cluster analysis for 252 farm households, identifying 4 different types of farming households. Low-cost interventions were planned for each farm type based on the constraints identified for different components of farming systems, resulting in a significant increase in the income of the farm households under study.
