Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly. There a trend agricultural reduction, but any practice in this direction should not negatively farm productivity economics because would limit its implementation, due high global food feed demand competitive environment sector. Precision agriculture practices using high-tech equipment has ability reduce inputs by site-specific applications, as it better...

The biofuel crop Jatropha curcas has been promoted in developing countries as a means of improving the livelihoods rural populations. In Mexico, despite initially assumed economic, environmental, and social benefits crop, many farmers have abandoned jatropha cultivation. Here, we analyse factors that influence farmers' decision to abandon cultivation by using generalized linear modelling approach combination with qualitative research methods. deterioration perception profitability,...

Precision agricultural technologies (PAT) promise an approach to production whichboth enhances productivity and minimises environmental herm. Despite promising economic gains from PAT, uptake within Europe is currently low. We explore the factors behind adoption non-adoption of PAT using a survey 971 European farmers, focusing on role incentives influencing adoption. examine current non-adopters' intentions for adopters more PAT. augment past behavioural models applied by examining effect...
