River waste to goldmine: A tale of floating agriculture in vulnerable southern regions of Bangladesh por Sarker, Mou Rani, Kundu, Nanda Dulal, Sujan, Md. Hayder Khan, Salman, Md, McKenzie, Andrew M., Islam, Md. Monjurul, Rahman, Md. Alimur, Uddin, Md. Taj, Bhandari, Humnath, Sarkar, Md. Abdur Rouf

“…Findings reveal that farmers employ both intercropping and monocropping, with a preference for seedling raising (156.37 USD/100 m2) over vegetable cultivation (121.56 USD/100 m2) due to higher profitability. Despite its labor-intensive nature (73% labor costs for seedling rising vs. 85% for vegetable cultivation), floating agriculture boosts household income, meets local vegetable demand, and reduces reliance on external markets during shocks. …”

Effects of agricultural mechanization on smallholders and their self-selection into farming: An insight from the Nepal Terai por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Shrestha, Rudra Bahadur, Kaphle, Basu Dev, Karkee, Madhab, Pokhrel, Suroj, Kumar, Anjani

“…Rising rural wages in Nepal have increasingly put pressures on smallholder farmers, who tend to operate labor-intensive farming. Agricultural mechanization through custom hiring of tractor services has recently been considered as an option to mitigate the impact of rising labor costs for smallholders. …”

Does trade, technology or education expel traditional sectors? Evidence from the collapse of South Korea’s silk sector por Rakotoarisoa, M., Kim, S.

“…Results show that although the imports of silk yarn and fabric reduced domestic silk output and prices, trade liberalization was not the sole contributor to the collapse. Inelastic labor demand for unskilled workers, skill-biased technology, and especially increased access to education all led to a sharp rise in the relative wage of unskilled workers, and the ensuing rise in production costs contributed to the silk sector's collapse.…”

Soil fertility management on small farms in Africa: Evidence from Nakuru district, Kenya por Omamo, Steven Were, Williams, J.C., Obare, G.A., Ndiwa, Nicholas N.

“…Econometric estimations indicate that once the effects of cropping patterns, farm-to-market transport costs, and labor availability are taken into account, smallholder applications of inorganic and organic fertilizers appear to be substitutes. …”

CGIAR Research Program 3.2: Maize: Global Alliance for Improving Food Security and the Livelihoods of the Resource-poor in the Developing World por International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center

“…This program will help double maize productivity with essentially no expansion of maize area, through more intensive, sustainable and resilient maize-based farming systems that are adapted to climate change and to rising fertilizer, water and labor costs.  Implemented by CIMMYT as the Lead Center and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Nigeria, together with over 350 public and private partners worldwide, MAIZE ensures that publicly‐funded international research contributes to more stable maize prices and to more productive, resilient, and sustainable maize‐based farming, while increasing farmers’ incomes and livelihood opportunities.  …”

Impact of cropping system diversification on productivity and resource use efficiencies of smallholder farmers in south-central Bangladesh: a multi-criteria analysis por Shah-Al Emran, Krupnik, Timothy J., Aravindakshan, Sreejith, Kumar, Virender, Pittelkow, Cameron M.

“…We evaluated the farm-level impacts of cropping system intensification (adding irrigated boro season rice) and diversification (adding chili, groundnut, mungbean, or lathyrus) on seven performance indicators (rice equivalent yield, energy efficiency, partial nitrogen productivity, partial potassium productivity, partial greenhouse gas footprint, benefit-cost ratio, and hired labor energy productivity) based on a comprehensive survey of 501 households. …”

Determinants of farmers' indigenous soil and water conservation investments in India's semi-arid tropics por Pender, John L., Kerr, John M.
