The COVID-19 pandemic had brought changes to individuals, especially in consumer behavior. As the government of different countries has been implementing safety protocols mitigate spread virus, people became apprehensive about traveling and going out. This paved way for emergence third-party logistics (3PL). Statistics have proven rapid escalation regarding use 3PL various countries. study utilized Artificial Neural Network Random Forest Classifier validate justify factors that affect intention selecting a service provider during integrating Service Quality Dimensions Pro-Environmental Theory Planned Behavior. findings this revealed attitude is most significant factor affects consumers' behavioral intention. Other such as customer satisfaction, perceived value, environmental concern, assurance, responsiveness, empathy, reliability, tangibility, control, subjective norm, authority support, are all contributing Machine learning algorithms, specifically ANN RFC, resulted be reliable predicting they obtained accuracy rates 98.56% 93%. Results presented attitude, assurance by 3PL, concerns were highly influential choosing package carrier. It was seen would encouraged providers if demonstrate availability catering customers' needs. Subsequently, must assure convenience before, during, after providing ensure continuous patronage consumers. considered first machine ensemble measure logistic sector. framework, analysis tools, could extended applied among other intentions transportation worldwide.

Farmers' adoption of agriculture green production technologies: perceived value or policy-driven?

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(1), P. e23925 - e23925

Published: Dec. 19, 2023

Understanding the underlying reasons for farmers' AGPT adoption in context of resource environment tightening and agricultural carbon reduction has become crucial to promote agriculture sustainable development. This paper uses multiple ordered regression model probit test impact perceived value on their green production technologies (AGPT) by using first-hand data from 613 rice farmers Hunan, explores effect mechanism policy subsidies market incentives AGPT, investigates differences different stages. The results showed that, (1)farmers' is significantly affected value, which benefits promotes adoption, while risks opposite. But stages influenced value. soil testing fertilization technology (STFT) pre-production stage benefits; pest control (GPCT) mid-production both risks; straw return (SRT) post-production risks. (2) Farmers' can be encouraged subsidies, also have moderating decreasing negative influence behaviour. (3) Further analysis reveals that compensate limitations greatly regulate encourage them use technologies. Consequently, Government should actively publicize organize training technologies, provide diversified subsidy programmes And governments improve quality certification system price products, so as help adopting achieve an increase income.

The impact of digital literacy on farmers' pro-environmental behavior: an analysis with the Theory of Planned Behavior

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: July 15, 2024

Introduction The rapid development of agriculture has brought about significant negative impacts on the environment, such as land pollution and ecological degradation. root cause environmental issues lies in human behavior, with improper farming practices by farmers being a major contributor to agricultural pollution. This paper explores relationship between farmers' digital literacy their pro-environmental behaviors, examining mediating roles subjective norms, behavioral attitudes, perceived control. Additionally, it investigates varying PEB among different levels education, social capital, household income. Methods Based data from China Land Economic Survey (CLES), this study utilizes an ordered probit regression analysis method analyze 923 sample respondents 24 villages Jiangsu Province. All analyses were conducted using Stata 15.0. Results research findings indicate that enhances likelihood engaging PEB. practice is achieved reinforcing strengthening enhancing control (as core elements Theory Planned Behavior theory), thereby promoting implementation farmers. Further reveals plays crucial role higher Discussion results suggest policymakers should enhance implement specific measures improve When willingness for are improved, may engage environmentally friendly practices.

Understanding factors influencing farmers’ crop choice and agricultural transformation in the Upper Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Agricultural Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 216, P. 103899 - 103899

Published: Feb. 20, 2024

The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is an Asian mega-delta which vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise, undergoing demographic change. Farmers are encouraged shift from rice monocultures more diversified flood-based cropping options adapt change, lessen negative environmental impacts manage labour productivity. However, this transformation takes place slowly, especially in the flood-zone areas of Upper VMD. There currently limited understanding farmers' complex decision-making that considers dynamic interactions between farmers, socio-economic circumstances biophysical environments sub-region. objective study was investigate key factors driving decisions switch other flood adaptive crops, provide lessons learnt policy recommendations for sustainable resilient agricultural developed agent-based model simulate individual decision making parameterised with secondary data on social, policy, economic drivers validated by comparing simulation results real baseline. Sensitivity analyses were conducted gain insights into influencing factors. shows when farmers seek profit maximisation, most influential determinants their crop choice high dyke construction, risk preference, perceptions sustainability, knowledge market access new alternatives, availability. Considering current context where majority depend dykes, transition away systems, as envisaged Government, needs occur gradually over extended period be contingent a combination measures help implement existing policies at local level. This includes discouraging construction; innovative extension services raise farmer awareness sustainability potential flood-adaptive alternatives; targeted actions averse farmers; market-based solutions improve mechanisation. contributes discourse development provides choices zone choices.

Environmental and health values, beliefs, norms and compatibility on intention to adopt hydroponic farming among unemployed youth

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Jan. 18, 2024

Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the relationships among environmental and health values, ecological worldview, perception consequences, ascription responsibility, personal norms in context value-belief-norm (VBN) model how compatibility influences intentions behaviors Chinese youth regarding use hydroponic farming technology. employed a survey questionnaire collect data from target population. sample size determined through power analysis ensure sufficient statistical for analysis. A total 727 potential respondents' responses were analyzed using SmartPLS (4.0) perform structural equation modeling. results confirmed that environmental, emotional, values significantly associated with individuals' worldviews. There an interconnection between awareness all three influenced norms. key determinants adopt technology are compatibility. Therefore, promote motivate interest intention hydroponics unemployed youth, government agencies, related companies should focus on providing technology-related pro-environmental information training. This is expected increase acceptance group, thus increasing adoption rate hydroponics.
