Furthermore, the constructs of social norms, beliefs, and attitudes accounted for 76.4 % of the variance in GEI. These findings confirm the profound role of the MOA model in the adoption of green entrepreneurship and provide strategic recommendations for planners and policymakers to establish green entrepreneurship by improving the internal and external structure of the production system, emphasizing the complementary relationships between psychological, social, economic, and environmental factors in achieving sustainable development and food security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100900"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144489571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies spanning 2007 to 2022, this research utilizes a three-way fixed effects framework to evaluate how green subsidies promote environmental progress. The empirical evidence suggests that, while green subsidies significantly enhance investment in innovation, their direct impact on innovation outputs is relatively limited. This trend is consistent across various types of firms, highlighting the initial success of green subsidy policies in motivating innovation investment, but also underscoring the necessity of further exploration and refinement to achieve a more sustainable impact on innovation outcomes. Notably, R&D outputs in technology-intensive firms paradoxically declined after receiving green subsidies, revealing limitations in the current policy framework’s effectiveness. These findings emphasize the importance of tailoring subsidy policies to align with the heterogeneous demands of enterprises. Our research contributes to this discussion by emphasizing the need for a more nuanced policy approach that balances innovation incentives with long-term economic sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100889"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144480334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although previous reviews have explored sustainability, circular economy and labor conditions within specific niches such as organic farming, comprehensive analyses of employment dynamics across the broader agri-food sector in developed economies remain limited. This systematic literature review addresses this research gap by synthesizing employment-related challenges across six key themes: (1) family farming dynamics, (2) unique employment characteristics, (3) gender inequalities, (4) wage disparities, (5) education and training needs, and (6) productivity challenges. After the two-stage process, an initial database search identified 19,918 articles, with 128 Stud. included after rigorous screening. The findings highlight the continued importance of family farms despite industrial-scale agriculture pressures, the significant reliance on migrant and seasonal labor facing precarious conditions, and the crucial role of education and training in addressing technological changes and labor shortages. This review not only fills a critical gap in the literature but also provides an actionable roadmap: prioritize fair wages and legal protections for migrant and seasonal workers, invest in next generation of agricultural education, and design policies that keep family farms economically viable while embracing innovation. Implementing these measures is essential to future‑proof the agri‑food workforce, safeguard rural livelihoods and secure resilient, sustainable food systems across the developed world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100895"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144335968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a game-theoretic approach, the model analyzes interactions under both stable and recessionary economic conditions. The results show that taxation often reduces the profitability of hotels without meaningfully increasing government revenue, especially during economic downturns. Green hotels are more severely affected, as they face higher costs while struggling to maintain competitive pricing in times of crisis. Meanwhile, OTAs benefit disproportionately from government interventions, amplifying structural imbalances in the supply chain.
