Agent-based modelling to simulate farmers' sustainable decisions: Farmers' interaction and resulting green consciousness evolution

Antonino Marvuglia et al.

Summary: Agent-based models (ABMs) are used to simulate cropping activities in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The model takes into account farmers' proneness to risk and their interactions within a social network. The study shows that the interactions among farmers affect their environmental awareness and, consequently, their long-term decisions regarding agricultural activities.

Substitution or complementarity: why do rice farmers use a mix of biopesticides and chemical pesticides in China?

Yanzhong Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence of Chinese rice farmers' mixed use of biopesticides and chemical pesticides. It found that 59.18% of the sample rice farmers used a combination of both types of pesticides. Farmers justify this approach in order to ensure food safety and reduce costs, but it does not significantly increase rice yield or output value.

Peer effects, attention allocation and farmers' adoption of cleaner production technology: Taking green control techniques as an example

Ziheng Niu et al.

Summary: Based on survey data for 1109 farmers in five provinces on the North China Plain, this study explores the formation mechanism and impact of peer effects on the adoption behavior of green control techniques among farmers. The results show that peer effects exist among core and intermediate farmers, but not among marginal farmers. The effects mainly come from the learning imitation mechanism and are strengthened by farmers' attention allocation.

Impacts of Technology Training Provided by Agricultural Cooperatives on Farmers' Adoption of Biopesticides in China

Yuying Liu et al.

Summary: This study empirically tests the impact of technical training provided by agricultural cooperatives on farmers' adoption of biopesticides. The results show that participation in technical training significantly enhances the probability of adopting biopesticides, with farmers' perceptions of the economic and health benefits of biopesticides playing a partial mediating role in this relationship.

Injunctive vs. descriptive social norms and reference group dependence

Franziska Heinicke et al.

Summary: We experimentally investigate the role and reference group dependence in the elicitation of injunctive and descriptive social norms. The results show that elicited norms are generally stable, but dictators tend to shift injunctive norms in a self-serving direction when coordinating only among themselves. Additionally, participants overestimate the divergences in coordination outcomes and descriptive social norms have a stronger correlation with the dictator's allocation choices than injunctive norms.

Installation of hedgerows around greenhouses to encourage biological pest control: Farmers' perspectives from Southeast Spain

Belen Lopez-Felices et al.

Summary: The intensification of agriculture has caused a deterioration in various ecosystem services, including pest control. The installation of hedgerows around greenhouses is a viable option for promoting natural enemies of pests. However, many farmers are hesitant to adopt this practice. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that influence the decision to install hedgerows and the most effective incentives to encourage their establishment.

Understanding pollution behavior among farmers: Exploring the influence of social networks and political identity on reducing straw burning in China

Wolin Zheng et al.

Summary: This study explores the influence of social networks on farmers' straw-burning behavior using data collected from a microsurvey in rural China. The findings indicate that social networks have a positive impact on farmers' straw-burning behavior, but this effect is weakened by external organizations and political identity. The study suggests that solely relying on prohibition policies is insufficient and attention should be given to external organizations and political identity factors in order to promote farmers' responsibility towards sustainable agriculture.

Effects of risk preferences and social networks on adoption of genomics by Chinese hog farmers

Shijun Gao et al.

Summary: The outbreak of African Swine Fever has had a massive impact on the Chinese hog industry, and this study explores the motivations of hog farmers to adopt genomics technology for breeding disease-resistant hogs. The results suggest that most hog farmers are risk averse and would likely delay the adoption of ASF resistant semen. Furthermore, the study finds that the adoption time frame of a hog farmer is influenced by the time frames of other closely related farmers.

Global value chains and carbon emission reduction in developing countries: Does industrial upgrading matter?

Shuhong Wang et al.

Summary: Industrial upgrading and international collaboration have significant impact on global climate change. This study investigates the potential role of industrial upgrading in the effect of participating in global value chains (GVCs) on carbon emissions. The results show that industrial structure transformation and upgrading when participating in GVCs can help mitigate pollution emissions expansion in developing countries like Russia and Brazil, but the adjustment effect is relatively weak. China and India face the dilemma of low-end locking in GVCs, intensifying the pressure on reducing carbon emissions domestically.

Do descriptive social norms drive peer punishment? Conditional punishment strategies and their impact on cooperation

Xueheng Li et al.

Summary: Research has shown that peer punishment is a key mechanism in promoting cooperation in human groups, and individuals' punishment decisions are often influenced by the social context. Large-scale incentivized experiments demonstrated that some participants punish free riders more severely when cooperation is more common or when others punish them more severely, indicating the importance of conditional punishment strategies in promoting and maintaining cooperation.

Impacts of farmers' participation in social capital networks on climate change adaptation strategies adoption in Nigeria

Ayodeji Ogunleye et al.

Summary: The study found that farmers' participation in social capital networks significantly influences the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies, leading to increased yield and farm revenue for plot managers who adopted these strategies. Significant differences were also observed in the years of membership in the social capital networks, access to information, and market between farm managers who adopted climate change adaptation strategies and those who did not.

Curbing overstocking on rangeland through subsidies, rewards, and herders' social capital: Lessons from Qinghai province, China

Rui Ding et al.

Summary: The study found that social capital has a significant impact on stocking rate, but there are tradeoffs among various network pathways. Acquiring policy information and stall-feeding skills through social networks helps lower stocking rate, while acquiring grazing experience, funds, and machinery service has counteracting effects.
