However, little is known about what encourages people to make a lasting shift to SFC. This research considers a future design (FD) approach where people are asked to think about a problem and to act through taking a perspective of future generations, investigating the question “how does the FD approach impact food consumption?” and the hypothesis “FD induces a lasting shift to SFC.” We employ a social experiment with three treatments of “control group,” “deliberation” and “FD,” collecting data on organic and nonorganic vegetable consumption with 300 households in Bangladesh over three months. In the control group, households report the consumption. In deliberation, they additionally deliberate among their family members to think of a vision, a mission and a strategy for the consumption. In the FD treatment, participants additionally consider the perspectives of past, current and future generations before deliberating on the same issues. Results indicate that FD affects people to have a sustained increase (decrease) in organic (nonorganic) vegetable consumption as compared to any other treatment, and the effect under FD is approximately twice as much as that under deliberation in magnitude and in each round. Overall, FD demonstrates a great potential for inducing people to make a persistent change to SFC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102916"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144702728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although household labor reallocation after weather shocks is an important ex-post strategy to mitigate weather-shock impacts, a comprehensive understanding of how households adjust their labor and its implications in the context of child health is lacking. We investigate how different forms of labor activity is associated with the impacts of rainfall shock on child nutritional status, using nationally representative panel data from rural households in Bangladesh, in conjunction with monthly precipitation and temperature data for the last three decades. We find that less rainfall during the main cropping season in the previous year worsens nutritional status of children under the age of five years, while less rainfall in the current year increases child nutrition. We also find heterogeneous associations of different types of labor with the identified linkages between rainfall shock and child nutritional status. While maternal off-farm self-employment plays a potential role in mitigating the negative impact of rainfall shortage, maternal on-farm labor may worsen child nutrition under rainfall shocks. We do not find any significant associations for household-level total labor time and other household members’ labor time. Our results therefore underscore the importance of providing sufficient off-farm employment opportunities for mothers and addressing maternal time constraints through targeted policies to cope with extreme weather and improve child nutrition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102918"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144702729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings indicate that the NIP significantly increases the likelihood of students attending high school and college and extends their years of education. These results are robust across various sensitivity tests. The NIP improves educational attainment by enhancing students’ health, cognitive abilities, non-cognitive skills, and parental educational expectations. Furthermore, the impact is more pronounced among students with lower parental education levels and those in western regions. A cost-benefit analysis shows that the economic returns of the NIP surpass its costs, highlighting its substantial economic efficiency.

Specifically, the paper examines the effects of adopting yield-increasing technologies, such as organic fertilizers and improved seeds, as well as risk-reducing technologies, including intercropping, on multidimensional poverty using panel data and an instrumental variable econometric approach. We find that the adoption of climate-smart technologies reduces the risk of a household being deprived in multiple non-monetary welfare dimensions. The largest impact on multidimensional poverty is achieved when these technologies are adopted in combination. Furthermore, adopting the full package of technologies has a more significant impact than adopting either a single technology or a combination of the two. The results also indicate that improved agricultural productivity and increased income from agricultural sales are key mechanisms through which CSA technologies reduce poverty. These findings underscore the importance of promoting bundled CSA adoption strategies to maximize poverty reduction and resilience among smallholder farmers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"135 ","pages":"Article 102904"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144597565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crop diversification and crop insurance are both important risk management strategies for farmers. The two strategies are usually considered separately. Here, we propose to exploit potential synergies by including crop diversification in multiple crop yield insurance designs. We provide an ex-ante analysis to compare multiple-yield insurance, which covers the different crops together as a bundle, with single-yield insurances. To this end, we use historical farm-level yield observations for winter wheat, winter barley, winter rapeseed, sugar beet and grain maize in German agriculture (N = 113,463 historical farm-level yield observations during 1995–2019) and assess the implications for risk reduction, fair insurance premiums, and expected utility. In our analysis, we refer to the area-weighted and price-weighted revenues as the underlying for both insurance scenarios. We show that multiple-yield insurance is particularly attractive for highly risk-exposed farms because multiple-yield insurance has lower fair insurance premiums compared to insuring each crop separately. Moreover, the certainty equivalents in the multiple-yield insurance scenario are often higher than those in the single-yield insurances scenario, especially when the premium loadings are high. In addition, the fact that broader crop rotations and diversification are rewarded with lower premiums under multiple-yield insurance offers the potential to combine the overarching policy goals of agricultural risk management and diversification of agricultural landscapes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":321,"journal":{"name":"Food Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 102905"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144549555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
