Collapsing Categories is Often More Advantageous than Modeling Sparse Data: Investigations in the CFA Framework

Christine DiStefano et al.

Summary: The study found that collapsing categories can improve the accuracy of parameter and standard error estimation, with chi-square test rejection rates closer to the nominal level. When dealing with situations with many response categories, treating sparse data as continuous and using MLMV may serve as an alternative solution.

The Evaluation Framework in the New CAP 2023-2027: A Reflection in the Light of Lessons Learned from Rural Development

Roberto Cagliero et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the new framework proposed for future evaluation in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), highlighting some improvements while also pointing out factors that may weaken the assessment, focusing on the usability, usefulness, and reliability of evaluations for users and practitioners. The analysis covers elements of evaluation during different rural development programming cycles, the current programming period, and the proposals for the next programming period, offering critical reflections and open questions. The experiences in rural development policies have brought important changes in theoretical and implementation terms, building evaluation capacity and involving civil society, but also showing rigidity towards compliance with common frameworks in the European Commission's path.

A Systematic Review of Factors Influencing Farmers' Adoption of Organic Farming

Ratana Sapbamrer et al.

Summary: The adoption of organic farming is influenced by various factors such as farmer and household factors, psycho-behavioral and psychosocial factors, farming factors, and supportive factors. To promote organic farming adoption, extension agents, farm associations, and the government play vital roles in providing information, sharing experiences, and offering support in terms of resources and subsidies.

Agroecological measures and circular economy strategies to ensure sufficient nitrogen for sustainable farming

T. G. Morais et al.

Summary: Organic farming has lower yields and requires nitrogen-fixing legumes in crop rotations to address nitrogen deficiency. A diet with reduced animal products may exacerbate nitrogen limitations, but can be overcome through the implementation of various agroecological, circular economy, and decarbonization strategies.

Simplistic understandings of farmer motivations could undermine the environmental potential of the common agricultural policy

Calum Brown et al.

Summary: The study reveals that economic and structural factors are major determinants of farmers' adoption of environmental management practices in the CAP. However, the literature suggests a broader range of social and attitudinal factors also play a crucial role, which are not fully recognized in policy design. Urgent redesign of agricultural subsidies is recommended to better align with economic, social, and environmental factors influencing farmer decision-making and maximize potential environmental benefits.
