Abstract Improving nitrogen (N) fertilizer management in agricultural systems is critical to meeting environmental goals while maintaining economically viable and productive food systems. This paper applies a farm framework analyze how adoption of N practices related different farming operation characteristics the extent which fertilizer, soil irrigation are each other. We develop multivariate probit regression model interdependency these behaviors from 966 farmers across three watersheds...
Understanding how consumers make recycling decisions is crucial in crafting sustainable policies. We estimate consumer preferences and willingness to pay for current beverage container methods, including curbside pick-up services, drop-off at government-subsidized centers, non-subsidized centers. Using a representative online telephone survey of California households, we revealed preference discrete choice model that identifies the key attributes explaining consumers' disposal decisions,...
Abstract AB2020 established a deposit‐refund system in California, where consumers are reimbursed the California Redemption Value (CRV) upon recycling eligible containers at center. We study under this policy, focusing on consumer convenience, reported and diversion behavior, responses to changes CRV amount. find that prefer nearby centers with flexible operating hours short waiting times. While induces recycling, an increase would not lead major increases, given limited number of entering...
This article evaluates farmer learning in response to a nitrogen management policy adopted California. California's features mandatory information-based approach, particularly education and plan-writing, wherein farmers must report their farm practices application rates regional water quality districts. Using survey data from across three regions Central Valley, we employ sequential ordered logistic regression evaluate how this impacts two stages: conceptual stage where take new information...
Agricultural nitrogen (N) use is a major contributor to environmental problems arising from nitrous oxide emissions and N loading groundwater. Advances in the adoption of conservation practices requires better understanding agronomic context for cropping systems. This paper tests hypotheses about how knowledge barriers influence management orchard agroecosystems. Agronomic are characterized by farm size, irrigation systems access water resources, influenced availability information sources....
With climate change, there has been increasing concern over allocations of scarce water supplies in California during times drought. This study looks at how practices perennial crops have changed time, specifically related to application irrigation and planting densities. We use University Sample Costs Production Budgets from 1980 2021 for all major compile information on the commonly implemented across various regions. After controlling regional variation applied due agroclimatic factors,...
As climate change is making weather patterns more erratic, water supply for agriculture becoming increasingly uncertain. This particularly concerning in the highly agricultural Serbian Danube River Basin, where crops are mainly rainfed and growing season warmer drier recent years. Assessing balance between future demand availability under changing critical to developing strategies combat scarcity challenges. To understand how precipitation temperature affect this region during 2041-2070, we...
Abstract Crop and input prices affect agricultural production water pollution. Fertilizer fluctuated over the past two decades, recently increasing substantially. Corn also increased after authorization of Renewable Fuel Standard. This paper estimates effect fertilizer corn on total phosphorus (TP) dissolved (DP) concentrations across 226 Great Lakes region watersheds. Findings indicate that a 10% rise in reduces TP by 3% DP 6.9%. Counterfactual analysis shows without recent price hikes,...
