Farmers' decisions under climate change: A field level empirical investigation of climate risk management strategies
Circular economy of food packaging: Cost and functional preferences of Thai consumers and restaurants in off-premises food services
The increasing waste from food delivery services necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the cost and functional preferences of key stakeholders concerning food packaging solutions. Therefore, this study investigated the cost and functional preferences of restaurants and consumers toward packaging solutions for off-premises food services through a survey of 100 restaurants and 100 consumers in Greater Bangkok. Key informant interviews were …
Factors influencing the profit and choice of agribusiness for agricultural cooperatives in Thailand
Many agricultural cooperatives in Thailand do not conduct agribusiness and face declining profits. Therefore, this study examined the factors influencing their profit and agribusiness choices. The results reveal that operating capital, the presence of a trading business and average payback positively affect profit. In contrast, the number of cooperative members and the number of staff members have a negative effect on profit. In addition, the num…
Impact of climate change on paddy crop failure under different water regimes in Sri Lanka
This study highlighted the severity of paddy harvest failure under various water regimes by elaborating on spatiotemporal variations, and estimating the influence of climatic variation on such crop failure in Sri Lanka. A panel data set obtained from 18 districts from 1981 to 2019 was analysed. The Unharvest Index (UI) (i.e., an index that was developed to measure the intensity of crop failure) was estimated according to seasonal water regimes fo…
Status and drivers of households’ food security status in climate-sensitive coastal areas of Bangladesh: A comparison between the exposed and interior coasts
Farming in coastal areas has unique challenges as climate change threatens coastal people's livelihoods and food security. Therefore, household food security remains a major concern, especially in Bangladesh's climate-sensitive coastal districts. This study compared the food security status and identified the factors influencing households' food security in the exposed and interior coasts of Bangladesh. A total of 750 households (exposed coast: 3…
Drought perception and field-level adaptation strategies of farming households in drought-prone areas of Afghanistan
Analysing the variation in farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on crop production and adaptation measures across the Ganges’ Tidal Floodplain in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change (CC) and consequent agricultural productivity repercussions. This study aimed at exploring the difference in farmers' perceptions of CC impacts on crop production and variation in adaptation measures across the Ganges' Tidal Floodplain (GTF) region. To unlock the local level context-specific nature of adaptation, the study area covered two distinct zones of the GTF: interior zone, surrounded by th…
Household food insecurity and dietary diversity of women of reproductive age among smallholder farming households in northwest Bangladesh
Despite Bangladesh's remarkable progress in agricultural production over the past few decades, household food and nutrition insecurity persist, especially in rural areas. The nutrition security and dietary diversity are even more critical for women of reproductive age among smallholders. This study examined household food insecurity and dietary diversity of women of reproductive age in the rural areas of northwest Bangladesh. Using cross-sectiona…
Comparing farmers’ perceptions of climate change with meteorological trends and examining farm adaptation measures in hazard-prone districts of northwest Bangladesh
Adaptation strategies for minimizing heat wave induced morbidity and its determinants
Agricultural sustainability assessment at provincial level in Pakistan
Climate change vulnerability, adaptation and risk perceptions at farm level in Punjab, Pakistan
Is ‘Better cotton’ better than conventional cotton in terms of input use efficiency and financial performance
Changing Food Patterns across the Seasons in Rural Pakistan: Analysis of Food Variety, Dietary Diversity and Calorie Intake
This comparative study investigated variations in food patterns across the seasons in rural Pakistan through assessing the changes in food variety, dietary diversity and calorie intake. It analyzed the situation using the primary information of 97 and 114 households surveyed in summer and winter respectively. Findings revealed a significant difference of households' food variety, dietary diversity and calorie intake across the seasons. In the win…
