For this, a standard econometric model is applied to fine resolution economic and pedo-climatic data in the Deux-Sevres department in Western France. The impact of the vicinity to organic farms on production is small but significant and negative. This may either be explained by a slightly higher infestation rate or by a remnant of correlation between organic field location and poor soil quality uncontrolled for by the pedo-climatic data. In any case, a high positive impact of the vicinity to organic fields mediated by crop auxiliaries is unlikely in this region. There is no impact of the vicinity to organic farms on crop protection costs. This could be explained by a routine behaviour of conventional farmers regarding crop protection or by social interactions between organic and conventional neighbours.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijarge.2019.103308","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45055023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study also investigates whether the motivation for diversification was to support asset accumulation or survival. The findings show that the extent of the diversification index is determined by household endowments of assets such as wealth, a higher number of earners, higher education, easy access to market, and better infrastructure. The motive for overall diversification was accumulation, not survival. An interesting finding was that off-farm income diversification serves a two-fold purpose. Wealthier households are attracted into off-farm self-employment to get a higher return facilitated by easy access to financial assets, and labour endowment. Credit constrained poor households are influenced by endowment in the form of education and labour to diversify into off-farm wage activities as a mean of survival. Investment in infrastructure, electrification and education does and will support income diversification in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47555206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several findings of previous research posit that inclusive businesses involving the participation of small farmers in their value chains encounter limited success. Nevertheless, the horticulture sector in West Java contains inclusive agribusinesses successful in the free market era by promoting their social mission of improving small-scale farmer welfare, while simultaneously turning a profit. This paper aims to evaluate the extent to which inclusive businesses can act as drivers of various innovations essential to agricultural development while simultaneously increasing the economic security of impoverished farmers in the province. An assessment is conducted of the capabilities and competencies of two West Java-based inclusive businesses initially intended by their founders to solve the problems faced by small-scale farmers. In order to achieve greater financial success, scale and impact, the ecosystem underpinning inclusive businesses and small-scale farmers should address their weaknesses, thereby enabling them to surmount obstacles.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48316678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study assessed farmers' perceptions of poppy cultivation, and participation in poppy- and non-poppy cultivation. Lack of law enforcement, large amounts of investments and higher profitability were some of the influencing factors for poppy cultivation in the poppy-growing region. In contrast, law enforcement was strictly implemented in the non-poppy growing region. Community development program was active in the non-poppy growing region, which had negative influence on the cultivation of poppy. The level of education significantly influenced farmers' perceptions regarding poppy cultivation. Alternative crops with high yield potential should be promoted. This study presents a new dimension on legal crop cultivation, poverty reduction, environmental protection and food security for policy development and implementation targeting suppression of illicit drug crop cultivation in Myanmar in particular and some other opium-producing countries in general.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijarge.2019.103307","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46531958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to find out rhizosphere bacteria which are able to control root-knot nematode and to improve growth of tomato. The experiment was conducted in the field, using a randomised block design with ten treatments of rhizosphere bacteria. In the final test in the field, it was concluded that consortium isolate consisting of LM24 and CK212, P52 (LM38 + CN26 + CK27 + CK212) only had potency in suppressing root-knot nematodes and P40 (LM24 + CN26) only resulted in better growth, whereas P31 (LM24 + CN26 + CK27) could not only suppress nematodes but also improve the growth and productivity of the tomato plant.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48297113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An agent-based model was constructed to simulate opinion leaders' influence and farmers' subjective risk level change on the number of adopters. From the results, the intervention by opinion leaders appeared to increase the number of adopters who are risk-averse farmers, retained the number of adopters from declining in the case of risk-taking farmers, and caused few farmers to have less cumulative income at the end of the simulation. This paper provides an alternative approach to analysing the effectiveness of opinion leaders on accelerating the diffusion of innovations. When agricultural policy-makers plan to increase innovations adoption through opinion leaders' intervention, the policy-makers should pay attention to farmers' risk attitudes and their learning processes during the experimentation with the innovations.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45343370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparative study was undertaken to understand consumers' buying behaviour relating to organic foods in the southern part of Thailand and north Malaysia. Based on an extensive literature review, the authors identified a number of factors that might influence consumers' intention to buy organic food including environmental knowledge and concerns, price, perceived beliefs and attitudes, and government support and policy. Moreover, the mediating influence of the two different countries on buying behaviour was also investigated. The drop-off and collect' survey administration technique was used to collect a total of 190 questionnaires from Thailand and Malaysia, partial least squares structural equation modelling using the resampling and bootstrapping techniques was used to examine five research hypotheses. The study found that environmental knowledge and concerns, government support and policy and price have a significant positive relationship with consumer buying behaviour in relation to organic foods. Furthermore, the domicile of the respondents in two different countries had a significant moderating effect on consumers' behaviour towards organic food.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43167808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to identify the conditions, opportunities, and challenges of the collective negotiation model of soybean crop insurance and to present contributions to the model supported by the cooperative system. Data analysis revealed that the experimental project of collective negotiation for soybean crop insurance under the scope of the PSR, as a public policy, allowed producers, for the first time, to organise themselves through their cooperative associations to look for better conditions for contracting crop insurance.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43238294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in West Java, cooperatives have not been able to optimise their potential due to lack of collaborative cooperation with other stakeholders within the scope of inclusive business. To realise the cooperative's potential, KUKM Ecobiz was introduced as an inclusive business platform to increase multi-stakeholder collaboration. This study explores the readiness of cooperatives in West Java to join an inclusive business platform, KUKM Ecobiz, by identifying the West Java cooperatives' infrastructures and measuring their willingness to collaborate with other parties through FGD, observation, LFA and survey. The result shows that readiness to join the inclusive business platform is still low, although, based on the survey results; the willingness of West Java cooperatives to collaborate is high. However, the West Java cooperatives' infrastructure is still significantly different and diverse among regions, and their interaction is still low because some factors like the mastery of technology, education, and facilities and the capability of human resources are still limited.","PeriodicalId":34978,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48766322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, no previous researches discussing such important topic were made in Jordan. In this study, 383 housewives living in Amman city were given a questionnaire to find out their attitudes toward several topics concerning home gardens. The results revealed that, most of the housewives see presence of home gardens in Amman is highly important. Moreover, the general knowledge of the housewives about home gardens was found of a medium level. Also, the results indicated that, the most serious challenge facing home gardens was lack of land area. Moreover, there were significant differences between the levels of importance of home gardens from the perspective of housewives attributed to qualification, age and work status.
