Resource integration for multiple benefits: Multifunctionality of integrated farming systems in Northeast Thailand por Tipraqsa, P., Craswell, E.T., Noble, A.D., Schmidt-Vogt, D.

“…Resource degradation in rice farming systems in Thailand endangers food security, but the systems may become more sustainable by combining them with aquaculture and livestock farm enterprises by capitalization of their synergies in resource use and re-use, i.e. by adopting integrated farming systems. Most empirical studies that assess this potential have focused on a few specific aspects, but not on the multiple social, economic, and ecological functions of resource integration. …”

A policy option for valuing irrigation water in the dry areas por Yigezu, Yigezu Atnafe, Aw-Hassan, Aden A., Shideed, Kamil, Sommer, Rolf, El-Shater, Tamer

“…Using a case study from Syria and applying a simple optimization model, this paper provides empirical evidence that a policy which introduces a penalty for excessive application of irrigation water would compel farmers to adopt water saving technologies. By so doing, the policy will not only lead to groundwater conservation but also to Pareto-optimal distribution of benefits (i.e., a situation where nobody loses and at best some or all gain).…”

Performance evaluation of groundwater management instruments: the case of irrigation sector in Tunisia por Frija, Aymen, Dhehibi, B., Chebil, A., Villholth, Karen G.

“…The objective of this study is to critically review and analyze GW management instruments adopted in Tunisia during the last four decades. Evaluation of current instruments was based on a set of criteria (the impact of the instrument on increasing water productivity, reducing aquifer withdrawals, acceptability of the instrument and its implementation cost) assessed through interviews with policy makers and experts, in addition to discussions at farmers' focus groups. …”

Innovation platforms and institutional change: the case of small-scale palm oil processing in Ghana por Adjei-Nsiah, Samuel, Klerkx, Laurens

“…Institutional entrepreneurs are shown to play important roles: they mobilised resources such as expertise, knowledge, access to information and high-level political power to influence small-scale processors to adopt alternative practices. The institutional changes observed are shown to arise in cooperation between traditional authorities (chiefs), the district legislature and authorities at the national level, who together institutionalised the experimental actions and processes taken in the study area. …”

Climatic and non-climatic factors influencing changing agricultural practices across different rainfall regimes in South Asia por Bhatta, Gopal Datt, Aggarwal, Pramod K., Kristjanson, Patricia M., Shrivastava, Amit Kumar

“…The results suggest that social protection measures aimed at enhancing the food security situation of marginal and smallholder households will increase the likelihood of them being in a better position to innovate and adopt improved agricultural practices. Our findings also indicate that additional strategies and policies aimed at more widespread uptake of new agricultural practices will also be needed, and will have to be targeted to particular environments and vulnerable groups, and special attention to institutional, resource management and market development issues if they are to succeed.…”
