Adapting to Changing Rainfall and Developing Off‐Farm Employment: Implications for the Adoption of Direct Seeding in Rice Production

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the main staple food for more than half of the world's population and the income from rice is an essential source for livelihoods of millions of households. We examine whether direct seed in rice production is an adaptation of rice farmers to rainfall changes and farm labor scarcity.

Oscillatory oblique stagnation-point flow toward a plane wall

, 2011
Two-dimensional oscillatory oblique stagnation-point flow toward a plane wall is investigated. The problem is a eneralisation of the steady oblique stagnation-point flow examined by previous workers.

Featuring the stagnation point flow of Casson nanofluid with thermal radiation and swimming microorganisms over a stretching sheet: A computational modeling via analytical method

Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
Here, the investigation examines the flow of a nanomaterial toward stagnation point past stretching sheet having microorganism. The thermal radiative and heat generation have been accounted as well as convective boundary conditions.

Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

Stagnation Point of Surface Flow during Drop Evaporation

, 2018
Capillary flow and Marangoni flow influence flow patterns of an evaporating liquid drop. While it is obvious that Marangoni stress on the drop surface affects the surface flow direction, we found that capillary flow also has an impact.

Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

Does Contract Farming Improve Diet Quality? The Case of Senegalese Smallholders

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming has gained prominence in most developing countries owing to its numerous benefits. While several studies have already highlighted the welfare benefits of contract farming, very few have investigated the effects on diet quality, despite poor quality diets being a serious challenge in most parts of the ...
