Can sustainable practices optimise fertiliser use and economic efficiency? A micro-panel analysis
The intensification of agricultural practices in Bangladesh has caused significant environmental challenges. This has also undermined farmers' economic sustainability, mainly due to the excessive use of subsidised chemical fertilisers. To address these issues and align with the United Nations…

Impact of formal and informal environmental regulations on agricultural carbon emissions: Empirical evidence from China
Agricultural carbon emissions (ACE) is a critical contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, which have already become a common challenge for global carbon reduction. As a major agricultural producer and largest carbon emitter, China has made great efforts to reduce ACE. Using the panel data…

Qualitative meta-analysis of barriers and drivers of agroecological transition
The agri-food sector contributes to climate change but also has substantial mitigation potential. Agroecology is increasingly recognised as a viable pathway for transforming agri-food systems, but its success depends partly on understanding the factors influencing farmers' pro-environmental…

Measuring the efficiency of agropastoral systems in Inner Mongolia: Parallel bounded adjusted measure with shared inputs and outputs
Inner Mongolia operates using integrated agropastoral systems comprising crop and livestock production subsystems. To evaluate the efficiency of these interconnected subsystems, we develop an innovative parallel-bounded adjusted measure (BAM) model with shared inputs and outputs. Unlike…

Agricultural commodity markets during the COVID-19 pandemic and the energy crisis: A time-varying copula approach
Agricultural commodity markets are highly important not only for investors but also for consumers. Given their importance, closer attention should be paid to agricultural commodity prices and their interactions with other segments of the financial market. In this paper, we apply time-varying copula…

The impact of internet access on green production practices among farmers
Amidst mounting global imperatives for sustainable agriculture and China's 'dual carbon' goals, this study investigates how internet access promotes farmers' adoption of green production practices, specifically defined as reducing chemical inputs through decreased fertiliser and pesticide…

The effect and dynamic transmission mechanism of African swine fever on pork prices in China: A study based on the staggered DID model and SVAR model
African swine fever (ASF) has spread rapidly, substantially disrupting the pork market. In this study, we treat the 2018 ASF outbreak in China as a quasi-natural experiment, using staggered difference-in-differences (DID) and spatial DID methods to assess its effect on pork prices. We use a…

Does participation in agricultural GVCs impede manufacturing growth?
This study investigates whether participation in agricultural global value chains (GVCs) leads to slower growth in manufacturing for the period of 1995-2022 in 44 countries. Our baseline estimations indicate that forward GVC integration in agriculture, crop cultivation and animal production…

Corn price forecasts in the shadow of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused serious disruption to agricultural markets, affecting both food prices and food security. In our study, we examine how global economic problems, such as COVID-19 or wartime conditions, affect corn prices and their predictability. We used deep…

Effects of different tillage practices on cropland carbon efficiency in wheat-maize rotation cropping
Enhancing cropland carbon efficiency (CCE) is vital for carbon-neutral and sustainable agricultural development. In this paper, we use the minimum distance to strong efficient frontier with undesirable outputs model and survey data from wheat-maize farmers in the Yellow River Basin of China in 2020…

Do farmers normalise land tenure insecurity? Evidence from a choice experiment in Uzbekistan
Land reforms can create tenure insecurity for farmers, a critical issue in developing countries with a dominant role of the state in agriculture. Our study focuses on Uzbekistan, characterised by a state-led transition from a more collective and socialist to a more individualistic and market-based…
