How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

Solution for crop classification in regions with limited labeled samples: deep learning and transfer learning

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Reliable classification results are crucial for guiding agricultural production, forecasting crop yield, and ensuring food security. Generating reliable classification results is relatively simple in regions with sufficient labeled samples, but regions ...

Extreme Weather Events and Consumer Food Responses

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates consumer food responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which affected a swath of the Southeastern U.S. in 2024. Using representative consumer survey data from six affected states, we analyze 10 distinct food responses classified into ex ante and ex post responses, and examine their associations with food insufficiency

Cropland Redistribution: A Synergistic Strategy for Boosting Grain Production While Mitigating Soil Erosion

Earth's Future
China faces significant spatial mismatches between steeply sloped cropland and gently sloped forest and orchard land. Optimizing the spatial distribution of cropland is critical for food security and ecological conservation in China, where cropland ...

Unsupervised Cross-Regional and Cross-Year Adaptation by Climate Indicator Discrepancy for Crop Classification

Journal of Remote Sensing
Large-scale model transfer facilitates crop classification in unlabeled sample regions. However, due to the spectral differences in the satellite image time series (SITS) of the same crop type caused by variations in a crop-growing environment between ...

Promoting Healthier Drinking: Evidence From a Vignette Experiment on Contextual and Informational Drivers of Dealcoholized Wine Choices

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

Response of Organic Carbon Components and Stability to Long-Term Application of Low Doses of Biochar and Biochor-Based Fertilizers

Agronomy
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration plays a vital role in sustaining soil productivity and mitigating climate change. Although biochar and charcoal-based fertilizers are known to enhance SOC sequestration, current understanding is predominantly ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Temporary Programs, Lasting Questions: Ad Hoc Assistance in the U.S. Farm Safety Net

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large ad hoc assistance programs have returned to U.S. farm policy since 2017, operating alongside a more developed safety net built around federally subsidized crop insurance, Title I commodity programs, and standing disaster assistance. This paper reviews the renewed use of ad hoc assistance, documents its recent scale using USDA data, and ...

Soil organic carbon decomposition in response to moisture, microbial communities, and biochar addition in Alfisols

Biochar
Soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition is influenced by fluctuations in moisture levels, which play a crucial role in regulating global soil carbon balance. Biochar is widely used as an amendment to enhance carbon sequestration and soil health. However,
