Towards more efficient low-carbon agricultural technology extension in China: identifying lead smallholder farmers and their behavioral determinants

Kai Li et al.

Summary: Based on survey data from rice farmers in Zhejiang Province, China, this study finds that lead smallholder farmers in low-carbon agriculture are younger, more risk-tolerant, have higher education levels, and more family laborers. The efficient use of heterogeneous information is crucial in differentiating lead farmers. Green agricultural producer services can alleviate resource constraints and contribute to the low-carbon transition of all smallholder farmers.

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.

Land tenure stability and adoption intensity of sustainable agricultural practices in banana production in China

Qi Yang et al.

Summary: The stability of land tenure has a significant positive impact on farmers' adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, particularly among farmers who own a higher proportion of their farmland. The impact of land tenure stability varies among farmers with different farmland sizes and in different regions. Additionally, there is a positive association between the use of sustainable agricultural practices and land productivity in banana farms in China.

Climate change vulnerability, adaptation measures, and risk perceptions at households level in Acholi sub-region, Northern Uganda

Dalson Twecan et al.

Summary: This study assesses the risks associated with climate change vulnerability and adaptation techniques used by young smallholder farmers in Uganda. The findings reveal droughts, increased temperature, pests and diseases, degradation, and poor socioeconomic conditions as the main determinants of climate change. The main adaptation measures include changing crop types, planting early-maturing crops, crop rotation, mixed cropping, and livelihood diversification. However, lack of knowledge and information, poverty, inadequate governmental support, limited agricultural extension, insufficient financial capital, illiteracy, and markets hinder access and adoption of advanced adaptation measures.

Analysis of household savings and adoption of climate smart agricultural technologies. Evidence from smallholder farmers in Nyando Basin, Kenya

Naomi Wanjiru Gikonyo et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the influence of household savings on the adoption of climate smart agriculture (CSA) technologies. The findings showed that households with savings were more likely to adopt multiple CSA technologies. Household savings and interest earned on savings increased the likelihood of adopting CSA technologies.

Climate risk perceptions and perceived yield loss increases agricultural technology adoption in the polder areas of Bangladesh

Zobaer Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study explores how climate change perceptions of agricultural risk affect adaptation to climate change through technology adoption in the polders of Bangladesh. Findings show that polder farmers perceive agriculture as highly vulnerable to flooding, drought, salinity, and pest infestation. Farmers with higher risk perceptions have a higher propensity to adopt new agricultural technologies. Farmer demographics, community group memberships, and access to different inputs and services strongly influence climatic risk perceptions.

Perceptions of COVID-19 shocks and adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in Ghana

Edward Martey et al.

Summary: This study examines how perceptions of COVID-19 shocks influence the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) among smallholder farmers in Ghana. The findings suggest that perceptions of COVID-19 shocks significantly affect the probability and intensity of SAPs adoption. Additionally, there are heterogeneity effects in the combinations of SAPs among farmers who anticipated different impacts of COVID-19.

Effects of loosening combined with straw incorporation into the upper subsoil on soil properties and crop yield in a three-year field experiment

Gizachew Tarekegn Getahun et al.

Summary: This study found that integrating subsoil management into tillage regimes can access additional resources of water and nutrients, sustaining crop production. However, arable subsoil often lacks nutrients and carbon, and is compacted, affecting root growth and yield. Loosening the upper subsoil and injecting straw improved soil properties but had no significant effect on crop yield.
