Policy Progress in Using Economic Policy Instruments to Improve Nutrition: Challenges and Opportunities

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Economic policy can be a powerful instrument to influence food environments and support improved diets and health. Over the past 20 years, the use of fiscal policy to improve diets has increased dramatically. This paper reviews the trajectory of policy change, and explores the ways in which research has informed three different dimensions of ...

How Does Vulnerability Framing by Microfinance Institutions Leverage Funding Success in Crowdfunding?

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study draws on framing theory to investigate how microfinance institutions (MFIs) strategically construct a vulnerability‐oriented organisational identity and how this framing influences their funding decisions during the pre‐campaign phase of prosocial crowdfunding.

Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Inline Oxygenation in Drip‐Irrigated Citrus: How Much Agrochemical Reduction Is Needed to Achieve Net Environmental Benefits?

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agronomic benefits of oxygen‐enriched irrigation, such as improved root development, enhanced nutrient uptake, and reduced fertiliser and pesticide requirements, are well documented. However, incorporating oxygenation devices into fertigation systems increases energy demand and material use, thereby incurring additional environmental ...
