    Abstract: Understanding the overuse of chemical fertilizer is critical for global food security and environmental protection. We use a nationally representative rural household survey from China, the difference-in-difference, three-step approach, and Seemingly Unrelated Regression methods to assess the impacts of China’s new agricultural subsidy on chemical fertilizer use, heterogeneity effect, and mechanism. The results show that, first, the new agriculture subsidy reduces the use of chemical fertilizer by about 7.2 percent. A series of robustness tests confirms the finding. Second, the heterogeneity analysis shows that the subsidy’s negative impact on fertilizer use is substantially greater among younger farmers than among older farmers. The negative effect also is significantly more in the main grain-producing areas than in non-grain-producing areas of China. Third, the mediating effect analysis shows that farmland scale mediates 8.3 percent of fertilizer use, and adoption of agricultural machinery mediates 48.6 percent of fertilizer use. Thus, China’s new agricultural subsidy reduces fertilizer use by helping farmers expand their farmland scale and adopt farm machinery. Our findings underscore the positive role that reforming the agrarian subsidy policy plays in sustainable development.

    Abstract: In 2022, index of physical volume of agricultural output in agricultural organizations, peasant (private) farms and household farms grew by 10.2% as compared to the previous year. In monetary terms growth was 14.8% due to rising prices on agricultural products (+4.2%, i.e. much lower as compared to general inflation). Such high growth in physical volume is determined among other things by a lower comparison base — in 2021 index was 99.6% against 2020. In 2022, output of livestock went up, however here an impact on overall dynamics of agricultural production is much less significant than in crop production (+1.1 p.p., vs. 9.6 p.p.). Largest increase was observed in pork (+5.0%) which led to a 0.5 p.p. increase in the index. Beef is the only livestock product with negative dynamic (drop in the production of cattle meat in slaughter weight came to 3.6%). Increase in grain production in 2022 was mainly on the back of a sharp increase in yields (126.9% vs. 2021), which resulted in a record-high gross harvest in country’s history. Crop area expansion was negligible at 101.1% relative to 2021 which is within five-year range of crop area fluctuations.

    Abstract: The global food system, and animal agriculture in particular, is a major and growing contributor to climate change, land system change, biodiversity loss, water consumption and contamination, and environmental pollution. The copious production and consumption of animal products are also contributing to increasingly negative public health outcomes, particularly in wealthy and rapidly industrializing countries, and result in the slaughter of trillions of animals each year. These impacts are motivating calls for reduced reliance on animal-based products and increased use of replacement plant-based products. However, our understanding of how the production and consumption of animal products, as well as plant-based alternatives, interact with important dimensions of human and environment systems is incomplete across space and time. This inhibits comprehensively envisioning global and regional food system transitions and planning to manage the costs and synergies thereof. We therefore propose a cross-disciplinary research agenda on future target-based scenarios for food system transformation that has at its core three main activities: (1) data collection and analysis at the intersection of animal agriculture, the environment, and societal well-being, (2) the construction of target-based scenarios for animal products informed by these new data and empirical understandings, and (3) the evaluation of impacts, unintended consequences, co-benefits, and trade-offs of these target-based scenarios to help inform decision-making.

    Abstract: National climate change adaptation programmes can strengthen agriculture’s resilience to adverse climatic events by investing in absorptive capacity to mitigate the impact of a shock in the short run, adaptive capacity to effect incremental changes in the medium run, and transformative capacity to create fundamentally new agricultural production systems in the long run. Using UNFCCC reporting documents, this analysis takes stock of agricultural climate change adaptation programmes in OECD countries and evaluates their contribution to developing resilience. Significant investments have been undertaken in the creation of decision support tools, the management of soil and water resources, and cultivar selection and breeding to address key agricultural vulnerabilities, namely drought, flooding and declining crop yields. Adaptation programmes developed to date most heavily emphasise adaptive capacity to address sustained and growing climate risks. Actions that contribute to transformative capacity are beginning to emerge, but lag behind medium-run measures.

    Abstract: With half of the world’s habitable land being used for agriculture, monitoring the biodiversity on agricultural land is essential for meeting the objectives of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). This paper seeks to advance the monitoring of farmland biodiversity in OECD countries by investigating current national initiatives and proposing guidelines for the development of an indicator based on habitat. The proposed approach provides a flexible and pragmatic framework to harmonise reporting from national programmes while accommodating cross-country diversity in contextual factors, including farming systems, climate, biophysical conditions and species pools. To facilitate implementation in the near term, the indicator includes a three-tiered approach to reporting based on data availability, which accommodates countries with limited data resources as well as those that currently have monitoring programmes in place.

    Abstract: This paper investigates price differentials between organically and conventionally farmed arable land. Organic commodities offer higher prices and environmental benefits such as improved soil constitution, where land buyers gauge these benefits against lower yields at higher risk, switching and higher production cost compared to conventional production. Combining land transaction and cover data from EU's Integrated Administrative Control System between 2005-2019, we test the hypothesis of positive valuation of organic cultivation, also for conventional use after sale. Based on a double robust approach, we find on average no effect but markups for conventional and markdowns for organic use post-sale.

    Abstract: The study recommends that higher incentives may be required to attract investment in agro-processing of pulses and oilseeds, especially in Bundelkhand, to enhance agricultural growth and farm income in the region. Additionally, the collectivisation of producers, especially small and marginal farmers, into FPO can address many of the challenges farmers face, including improved access to inputs, investments, technology, and markets. To ensure the sugar sector's long-term financial health, particularly for farmers in the western region, the state needs to implement reforms in sugar pricing based on the Rangarajan Committee's (2012) recommendations.

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the multinational oil companies' (MOCs) corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in Nigeria. Its special focus is to investigate the impact of the global memorandum of understanding (GMoU) on gender and food security in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This paper adopts a survey research technique aimed at gathering information from a representative sample of the population. A total of 800 women respondents were sampled across the rural areas of the Niger Delta region. It is essentially cross-sectional: describing and interpreting the current situation. The results from the use of a combined propensity score matching (PSM) and logit model indicate that CSR interventions of the MOCs using GMoUs have contributed in empowering women to effectively discharge their role in food and nutritional security. This is achieved by enhancing coherence in policies on gender, agriculture, nutrition, health, trade and other relevant areas in the Niger Delta. The findings also show that CSR intervention of MOCs supported ecological sound approaches to food production, such as agro-ecology that promotes sustainable farming and women’s empowerment in the region. This suggests that recognizing and respecting the local knowledge of farmers, including women farmers, will help develop locally relevant food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. This implies that promoting the implementation of everybody’s right to food, particular that of women, as well as giving women rights to other resources like land, in addition to engaging women and men in challenging the inequitable distribution of food within the household will help strengthen food security in Africa. This research contributes to the gender debate in agriculture from a CSR perspective in developing countries and serves as a basis for the host communities to demand for social projects. It concludes that corporate establishments have an obligation to help in solving problems of public concern.

    Abstract: This paper tests the importance of changes in opportunity costs related to agriculture on the risk of violent conflict using data on locust swarms and conflict collapsed to annual 0.25 (approx. 28km2) grid cell observations across Africa and the Arabian peninsula. The identification exploits exogenous local variation in locust swarm exposure driven by patterns in swarm movements together with weather controls and grid cell and country-by-year fixed effects to identify causal impacts of these agricultural shocks. Locust swarms decrease the likelihood of violent conflict event in a given year by around 20%. Effects are driven by areas with crop and pasture land, and there is no evidence of conflict spillovers to nearby areas. The impacts are largest for swarms that arrive in the off-season or planting season for major crops, based on national crop calendars, and the patterns are not consistent with effects on conflict driven by changes in conflict opportunity costs related to agriculture. This points to the availability of non-agricultural livelihood opportunities and to alternative factors such as psychological impacts and relief efforts less often discussed in this literature as crucial in determining whether an agricultural shock increases conflict risk. In contrast to short term negative effects on conflict, cells affected by the 2003-2005 major desert locust upsurge were 62% more likely to experience any conflict in a given year afterward.Absolute impacts are increasing over time alongside a general increase in conflict in the sample countries, suggesting affected areas are made vulnerable to future shocks which precipitate conflict.

    Abstract: The farmer trainer (FT) model has gained momentum as a cost-effective alternative to traditional agricultural extension systems. However, there may be friction in the transmission of information, whereby farmers closer to the FT may benefit more than socially distant farmers. This study explores whether variations on the standard FT model facilitate the diffusion of information outside the FT’s pre-existing social network. A sample of voluntary farmer trainers in rural Uganda was randomly assigned to receive either (i) vouchers for accessing professional extension agents, (ii) a signpost advertising the trainer services, or (iii) further training to learn to tailor training to trainee needs. The results show that the FTs assigned these treatment variations trained more farmers, a larger proportion of whom were in the FT’s own close circle. The FTs who received vouchers, however, were the only ones to reach out to more socially distant farmers and were also those who gave the most training sessions. We show that these effects are independent of any FT prominence in the village. Nevertheless, further evidence suggests exercising caution regarding the presence of friction in the transmission of knowledge, since knowledge and technology adoption appear to increase only among farmers closely connected to the FT.

    Abstract: There is a growing awareness of the need to transform food systems. Yet successful actions require sound evidence: on the extent, characteristics, and drivers of issues; on the effectiveness of different policy instruments, and their synergies and trade-offs; on how policy proposals would affect stakeholders; and on citizens’ values and preferences. There are considerable evidence gaps on many of these aspects. This paper presents the main findings from the OECD project “Overcoming Evidence Gaps on Food Systems, ” which aimed to identify different types of evidence gaps, as well as pragmatic approaches to overcome these. The project explored this question through three “deep dives” on food insecurity and food assistance programmes across OECD countries, gender and food systems, and environmental impacts along food supply chains. Overall, there is a strong case for greater investment in overcoming evidence gaps for food systems.

    Abstract: Assurance schemes (certifications and labels) are widespread in the agri-food sector. This paper reviews the landscape of existing schemes, and the evidence on whether labels change consumer behaviour, and whether assurance schemes achieve positive change on the farm. The impact of existing labels on shopping behaviours appears limited: even for well-established schemes, market shares remain low, as factors such as taste, health, or price appear to dominate consumer decisions. Regarding farm-level effects, not all crops, standards, and geographies have been equally well studied, and many studies find no effect; but when an effect is found, it is usually positive. The paper identifies actions to improve the effectiveness and inclusiveness of existing and new assurance schemes, and also highlights the new trend of labels which communicate environmental impacts, rather than conformity with process or production requirements.

    Abstract: The recognition of the necessity to reduce meat consumption in affluent nations is now widely acknowledged. A large body of literature examines the personal factors that lead to meat reduction or avoidance, including the motivations and profiles of individuals. While excluding meat consumption from ones' diet alone could be challenging, surprisingly, literature has sparsely examined the role of communities supporting this process, which includes both practices and convictions. This research seeks to make up for that and aims to investigate the impact of communities (both imagined and real) on the construction of vegetarian and vegan identities. To this end, nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with non-meat eaters, ten of whom underwent follow-up interviews. The analyses conducted focused on their practices, convictions, and interactions within communities. The findings revealed two major points: firstly, practices and convictions develop simultaneously and in relation to various types of communities; secondly, identity is constructed through both affiliation and differentiation processes. These findings offer strong theoretical and practical implications by contributing to the understanding of the impact of community-driven value-based identity built on conviction-based consumption practices. For brands, retailers and public policy makers, this research provides practical recommendations for promoting meat-free diets, not only through making information available but also by using the co-evolution of practice and convictions as leverage, and by empowering communities in the process.

    Abstract: The objective of this research focuses on analysing the possible existence of consumers clusters in Kenya depending on their appreciation of food values. For this research objective, differences in the appreciation of food values were studied considering the socio-demographic traits of 500 consumers through a standardized questionnaire. In the empirical analysis, Spearman´s correlation test, two-step cluster analysis and logistic regressions were calculated. The results show the existence of variations in food value preferences between segments, determined by economic and socio-environmental factors. Nutrition value and environmental impact value were the most and least preferred values, respectively.

    Abstract: Climate change has both immediate and long-term consequences on the debt trajectories of developing countries. Their high physical vulnerability to global warming and the in-crease in natural disasters, combined with lower socio-econo-mic resilience (food and agricultural insecurity, high population growth, lack of social safety nets and political instability), are putting a strain on public finances at a time when they already have little budgetary leeway.

    Abstract: Mastery is a psychological resource that is defined as the extent to which individuals perceive having control over important circumstances of their lives. Although mastery has been associated with various physical and psychological health outcomes, studies assessing its relationship with weight status and dietary behavior are lacking. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between mastery and weight status, food intake, snacking, and eating disorder (ED) symptoms in the NutriNet-Santé cohort study. Mastery was measured with the Pearlin Mastery Scale (PMS) in 32, 588 adults (77.45% female), the mean age was 50.04 (14.53) years. Height and weight were self-reported. Overall diet quality and food group consumption were evaluated with ≥3 self-reported 24-h dietary records (range: 3–27). Snacking was assessed with an ad-hoc question. ED symptoms were assessed with the Sick-Control-One-Fat-Food Questionnaire (SCOFF). Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between mastery and weight status, food intake, snacking, and ED symptoms, controlling for sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. Females with a higher level of mastery were less likely to be underweight (OR: 0.88; 95%CI: 0.84, 0.93), overweight [OR: 0.94 (0.91, 0.97)], or obese [class I: OR: 0.86 (0.82, 0.90); class II: OR: 0.76 (0.71, 0.82); class III: OR: 0.77 (0.69, 0.86)]. Males with a higher level of mastery were less likely to be obese [class III: OR: 0.75 (0.57, 0.99)]. Mastery was associated with better diet quality overall, a higher consumption of fruit and vegetables, seafood, wholegrain foods, legumes, non-salted oleaginous fruits, and alcoholic beverages and with a lower consumption of meat and poultry, dairy products, sugary and fatty products, milk-based desserts, and sweetened beverages. Mastery was also associated with lower snacking frequency [OR: 0.89 (0.86, 0.91)] and less ED symptoms [OR: 0.73 (0.71, 0.75)]. As mastery was associated with favorable dietary behavior and weight status, targeting mastery might be a promising approach in promoting healthy behaviors.

    Abstract: La maîtrise est une ressource psychologique définie comme la mesure dans laquelle les individus perçoivent qu'ils ont le contrôle des circonstances importantes de leur vie. Bien que la maîtrise ait été associée à divers résultats en matière de santé physique et psychologique, les études évaluant sa relation avec le statut pondéral et le comportement alimentaire font défaut. L'objectif de cette étude transversale était d'évaluer la relation entre la maîtrise et le statut pondéral, la prise alimentaire, le grignotage et les symptômes de troubles alimentaires dans l'étude de cohorte NutriNet-Santé. La maîtrise a été mesurée à l'aide de l'échelle de maîtrise de Pearlin (PMS) chez 32 588 adultes (77, 45 % de femmes), dont l'âge moyen était de 50, 04 (14, 53) ans. L'âge moyen était de 50, 04 (14, 53) ans. La taille et le poids ont été autodéclarés. La qualité globale du régime alimentaire et la consommation de groupes d'aliments ont été évaluées à l'aide de ≥3 relevés alimentaires autodéclarés sur 24 heures (fourchette : 3-27). Le grignotage a été évalué à l'aide d'une question ad hoc. Les symptômes de la dysfonction érectile ont été évalués à l'aide du questionnaire "Sick-Control-One-Fat-Food" (SCOFF). Des analyses de régression linéaire et logistique ont été effectuées pour évaluer la relation entre la maîtrise et le statut pondéral, la prise alimentaire, le grignotage et les symptômes de dysfonctionnement érectile, en tenant compte des caractéristiques sociodémographiques et du mode de vie. Les femmes ayant un niveau de maîtrise plus élevé étaient moins susceptibles d'être en sous-poids (OR : 0, 88 ; 95%CI : 0, 84, 0, 93), en surpoids [OR : 0, 94 (0, 91, 0, 97)], ou obèses [classe I : OR : 0, 86 (0, 82, 0, 90) ; classe II : OR : 0, 76 (0, 71, 0, 82) ; classe III : OR : 0, 77 (0, 69, 0, 86)]. Les hommes ayant un niveau de maîtrise plus élevé étaient moins susceptibles d'être obèses [classe III : OR : 0, 75 (0, 57, 0, 99)]. La maîtrise était associée à une meilleure qualité de l'alimentation en général, à une plus grande consommation de fruits et légumes, de produits de la mer, d'aliments complets, de légumineuses, de fruits oléagineux non salés et de boissons alcoolisées, et à une plus faible consommation de viande et de volaille, de produits laitiers, de produits sucrés et gras, de desserts à base de lait et de boissons sucrées. La maîtrise était également associée à une moindre fréquence de grignotage [OR : 0, 89 (0, 86, 0, 91)] et à une diminution des symptômes de dysfonctionnement érectile [OR : 0, 73 (0, 71, 0, 75)]. La maîtrise étant associée à un comportement alimentaire favorable et au statut pondéral, cibler la maîtrise pourrait être une approche prometteuse pour promouvoir des comportements sains.

    Abstract: Managing the cost of production is a major component of profitability in the cattle business. Cattle producers routinely evaluate input prices and technologies that increase production efficiency relative to cost. Despite producers having little to no control over input prices, management decisions can influence the cost of production. An input cost with limited management flexibility is capital. Many cattle operations require a substantial quantity of capital to operate. This often results in the need to borrow capital to purchase cattle and inputs, which means interest rates can greatly influence the cost of production for cattle operations. Since the beginning of the 21st century, interest rates have fluctuated significantly. Interest rates influence the cost associated with land, equipment, cattle and inputs when borrowed money is being used to make the purchase. When money is not being borrowed, the cost of someone using personal capital is considered opportunity cost. In other words, opportunity cost is the value such capital could be earning when invested in something else. Similarly, it is important to consider capital recovery of non-financed assets, because they will depreciate and reach the end of their useful life, which means they will need to be replaced. Thus, every producer, whether borrowing capital or not, incurs a cost when using capital. As it directly relates to cattle purchase, cow-calf producers may incur an interest expense when purchasing breeding stock while stocker, backgrounding and feedlot operators carry a large interest expense burden when purchasing feeder cattle using borrowed capital. The total interest expense per animal associated with purchasing cattle hinges on the interest rate and the total cost of the animal. Thus, higher interest rates and higher cattle prices increase interest expense while lower interest rates and lower cattle prices decrease interest expense. The purpose of this publication is to show how interest expense has fluctuated from 2001 through early 2023 for the purchase of stocker and feeder cattle. This should help cattle producers gain a better understanding of how interest rates and cattle prices influence the cost of production. This information can also be beneficial for cow-calf producers as it will help producers understand why cattle buyers have to adjust what they are willing to pay when input costs change. This information should also provide insight into the risk presented by changing interest rates.

    Abstract: Climate change is the defining challenge of our time with complex and evolving dynamics. The effects of climate change on economic output and financial stability have received considerable attention, but there has been much less focus on the relationship between climate change and income inequality. In this paper, we provide new evidence on the association between climate change and income inequality, using a large panel of 158 countries during the period 1995 – 2019. We find that an increase in climate change vulnerability is positively associated with rising income inequality. More interestingly, splitting the sample into country groups reveals a considerable contrast in the impact of climate change on income inequality. While climate change vulnerability has no statistically significant effect on income distribution in advanced economies, the coefficient on climate change vulnerability is seven times greater and statistically highly significant in the case of developing countries due largely to weaker capacity for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These findings are robust with alternative estimation methods and measures of income inequality, but it should be noted that the appropriate measurement of climate change vulnerability and resilience remains a challenge that imposes limits on empirical analysis.

    Abstract: Infrastructure plays a pivotal role in achieving climate neutrality and resilience. However, infrastructure is also vulnerable to certain risks, and poor management of infrastructure assets can lead to increased dependency on fossil fuels and lock in climate-related risks. For this reason, an infrastructure governance framework is needed that can direct public investments towards sustainability objectives.To this end, the OECD has provided technical support to the Government of Ireland to strengthen climate-related and environmental considerations in public infrastructure decision making (i.e. strategic planning, project appraisal, budgeting). Building on Irish Public Spending Code and on standardised criteria based on international good practices, this working paper develops a new methodological approach to assessing the climate-related impacts of infrastructure and integrate climate-related risk and uncertainty in the appraisal of infrastructure projects.

    Abstract: We study the climate as a determinant of religious belief. People believe in the divine when religious authorities (the “church”) can credibly intervene in nature on their behalf. We present a model in which nature sets the pattern of rainfall over time and the church chooses when optimally to pray in order to persuade people that it has caused the rain. We present evidence from prayers for rain in Murcia, Spain that the church follows such an optimal policy and that its prayers therefore predict rainfall. In our model, praying for rain can only persuade people to believe if the hazard of rainfall during a dry spell is increasing over time, so that the probability of rainfall is highest when people most want rain. We test this prediction in an original data set of whether ethnic groups around the world traditionally prayed for rain. We find that prayer for rain is more likely among ethnic groups dependent on intensive agriculture for subsistence and that ethnic groups facing an increasing rainfall hazard are 53% more likely to pray for rain, consistent with our model. We interpret these findings as evidence for the instrumentality of religious belief.

    Abstract: This study aims to determine the level of understanding and application of the will of cloning in coffee shops in Kedung baruk village. Green accounting is an accounting method that correlates environmental aspects and sustainability regarding the measurement of reporting and financial analysis of an organization aims to integrate environmental and social information into the financial statements of the decision-making process that allows a more comprehensive assessment of social and environmental financial performance. Techniques using observation questionnaires, interviews, documentation to bury research data. Data analysis in conducting this research is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study are that the coffee shop actors in the new building understand the earthquake and apply it in their operational activities and understand the importance of considering the environmental impact of the coffee shop business taking steps to reduce negative impacts by reducing negative impacts in making handicrafts to protect the environment and there are still some Warkop who do not understand and apply it in their operations. In the way of providing environmental accountability that has gone through the stage of adjustment with various environmental objectives and corporate ideals, environmental costs can be in the form of costs of steps taken, or that must be taken to regulate various environmental impacts on company activities.

    Abstract: Environmental crime is on the rise and is of growing concern to policy makers, to legitimate businesses, and more broadly to the general public. It is growing rapidly worldwide on average at over 8% per year, with an estimated value between USD 110-281 billion in 2018. Emerging issues include wildlife trafficking, illegal timber, illegal mining, illegal chemicals, illegal waste trafficking, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Environmental crime can have serious implications to human health and the environment, to the global economy, and more broadly to good governance, national security and sustainable development.Addressing these criminal activities affecting the environment is difficult exclusively at the national level as they often extend on a transnational scale. In this context, this report provides a snapshot of cross-border environmental crime and available initiatives to tackle illegal activities at a transnational scale, with a particular focus on multilateral and regional frameworks. The key message from this report is that the increasing prevalence of cross-border environmental crime is due to regulatory failures and the growing involvement of transnational organised crimes, which require an internationally co-ordinated response, both at the multilateral and regional level.
