Mobile phone-mediated scaling of agricultural technologies (MPSATs) attracts attention as an effective approach for promoting development and sustainability. Despite the growing interest, a comprehensive understanding drivers MPSAT at farm level evidence base their impacts remains limited. To fill this gap, we conducted systematic literature review meta-analysis 18 relevant empirical studies covering 10,757 farmers across 12 countries. Meta-analyses reveal that farmers’ innovativeness full-time farming increase odds adopting technologies. Age, gender, digital skills, mobile phone device ownership, membership in farmer groups also influence but display heterogeneity. Moderation analysis reveals status countries plays moderating role variables such asset ownership size. Moreover, results show using phones standalone method increases by 2%. In combination with traditional extension methods, figure rises significantly to 17%. Additionally, yields 2%, profits 5%, contributes 3% improvement learning outcomes. This study sheds light on potential multifaceted nature MPSAT, providing insights policymakers practitioners sustainable agriculture through

Introduction Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges confronting contemporary societies. Despite occupying a relatively small proportion Earth’s surface, cities contribute disproportionately to greenhouse gas emissions. Urban forests, as vital form natural infrastructure, play critical role in mitigating adverse impacts climate change. Effective management and conservation these resources necessitate active engagement from diverse stakeholder groups, with women being particularly important demographic. However, generational differences women’s perceptions their willingness participate urban forest have received limited investigation. This study seeks address this gap by comparing participation intentions two groups women: those belonging Generation Z earlier generations. Methods The sample comprised 401 395 other Data for were collected using questionnaire administered through multi-stage cluster sampling method. data encompassed participants’ awareness change, its causes, dual engage management, demographic characteristics such age, educational level, family size, income, highest education family, levels fathers mothers. analysis was conducted both descriptive inferential statistical methods. Results results revealed significant understanding recognizing forests effects, demonstrating conservation. Across all measures, exhibited higher compared older Furthermore, increased issues positively associated greater management. Socio-economic factors also influenced differently between highlighting nuanced effects variables on intentions. Discussion showed althought observed consistently led heightened among These findings underscore importance adopting intergenerational perspectives emphasizing that promotional programs must be tailored account effectively maximize foster widespread efforts.

A continued decline in food production and productivity could render the goals of achieving security eliminating hunger far from reach-objectives at core first United Nations' Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. Hence, efforts have been made to develop adaptation strategies against drought stress, one which is climate-smart maize varieties (CSMVs). The study aims analyse effects CSMVs on farmers’ Kaduna State Nigeria. total 260 farmers a sample frame 1,053, across three agricultural zones state were randomly selected interviewed 2022/2023 cropping season. Descriptive statistics, ordinary least squares regression ordered logit used analyze data. descriptive statistics show that female participation generally low, although relatively higher among adopters (19%) than non-adopters (16.67%). Only 10% access extension services compared 53% adopters. While 83.33% no formal education, only 20% fall into this category. OLS results shows adoption significantly increases output, slightly average output 2,467 kg per ha 2,220 for non-adopters. coefficients age, farm size credit positive statistically significant while gender was also but negative. Adoption contact predictors improved level education social organisation negative relationship with security. concludes be attributed availability information through services, credit, influence area. Agricultural institutions non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should focus promoting varieties, ensuring women older are adequately supported, provide land boost efficiency order improve productivity.

There is growing concern that climate change will worsen poverty and food insecurity, particularly in developing countries, hindering the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1 (No Poverty) 2 (Zero Hunger). Rural populations are expected to be severely impacted, as 75% poorest people these areas, especially Africa, depend primarily on agriculture. Although adopting precision agriculture smart farming has been recommended counter adverse effects production, farmers continue face increasing challenges from despite support Agricultural Advisors (AAs). The study intended assess provided by AAs focusing mainly dissemination information farmers. This employed a qualitative research design, collecting data six focus group discussions Ezinqoleni uMzumbe local municipalities Ugu district KwaZulu-Natal. were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis with NVivo14 software. Results indicate while smallholder area aware change, they lack access relevant help them cope adapt. also reveals areas not providing useful or advice assist adapting leaving vulnerable its effects. strongly recommends South Africa currently policy capacity building should priority. By high-quality inclusive sustainable adaptation strategies, better understand importance prioritizing adaptation.

This study examines the impact of structural characteristics agricultural holdings on their performance and contribution to rural development in EU countries over past decade identify potential measures enhance development. The results paired samples t-test reveal a shift agriculture between 2010 2020 toward larger, more productive, capital-intensive farms alongside decline small-scale subsistence farming, improved incomes, economic growth. However, persistent challenges such as depopulation, declining employment, ongoing poverty remain. A cluster analysis identified five distinct models reflects some notable transitions: Eastern European increasingly moved mixed farming (e.g., Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary) or large-scale commercial Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovakia), became concentrated Bulgaria Romania, Western Northern maintained high levels modernization, with Ireland progressing Netherlands standing out high-tech model. clusters underline need for regionally tailored policies. Hierarchical regression shows that while improvements performance, particularly increased labor productivity, contribute GDP per capita growth, they have limited poverty. Therefore, enhancing sustainable requires comprehensive integrated strategies not only promote productivity-driven reforms innovation advanced systems but also address specific needs lagging through transformation, capacity building, targeted support.
