Does agriculture contribute to Sustainable Development Goals in the BRICS countries? This question remains one of the unanswered questions in the academic arena. Thus, an examination of this question is crucial. Accordingly, the objectives of the study are twofold. The first objective was to examine the contribution of agriculture on economic growth in the BRICS bloc. The second objective was to investigate the contribution of agriculture on income inequality. The study employed Pooled Mean Group over a period 1995-2018 and found that agriculture production contributes to economic growth and reduces income inequality in the BRICS countries. All the variables met the expected priori and the study confirmed that all the disequilibrium in the shortrun could be corrected in the long-run. Therefore, the BRICS government should strengthen the agricultural sector since it is one of its strongholds sector.

“…The Internet has the advantage of low learning and training costs, and the use of digital technology and the acquisition of digital skills helps to broaden the non-agricultural employment options of the rural workforce and enhances job matching, increasing their employment and formal employment rates and strengthening employment stability (49)(50)(51). Thirdly, Internet use can facilitate asset factor allocation and increase property income (52,53). Internet use has increased the scale of financial assets of farm households, helping to improve the asset allocation structure and promoting higher property income for farm households (53)(54)(55).…”

Does Internet use connect smallholder farmers to a healthy diet? Evidence from rural China

IntroductionUndernutrition and micronutrient malnutrition remain problems of significant magnitude among small-scale subsistence farmers, posing a serious threat to their health and well-being. Developing a healthy diet can effectively reduce this threat. Fortunately, the Internet can speed up the process.MethodsBased on survey data from 5,114 farm households in nine provinces in China, this study quantitatively assesses the impact of Internet use on the dietary quality of smallholder farmers using OLS regression models and PSM models.Results/Discussion(1) Internet use can significantly contribute to dietary diversity and dietary rationality among smallholder farmers, thus optimizing their dietary structure. (2) Internet use significantly increased the average consumption amounts of milk and its products (2.9 g), fruits (21.5 g), eggs (7.5 g), and vegetables (27.1 g), while also decreasing the intake of salts (1.5 g) and oil (3.8 g). (3) The pull of internet use to improve diet quality is more significant for smallholder households with lower levels of education, older heads of households, and higher household incomes. (4) A possible mechanism is that Internet use increases household income and information access skills of rural residents, thus improving their dietary quality. In summary, governments should further promote Internet penetration in rural areas for health purposes.

“…“The indicator of “urban‐rural integration” is based on the research paradigm of Chen and Long (2019), which adopts the ratio of per capita income and expenditure difference to income of residents who have switched from agriculture to non‐agriculture and urban residents to portray urban‐rural development potential. The five variables of “log of gift expenses, log of communication expenses, log of transportation expenses, log of travel expenses, and log of entertainment expenses” were selected in the measurement of social capital quality indicators (Yang et al, 2020). Then, the same variables of CHFS 2017 were innovatively introduced, and the overall expenditure intervals of the two periods were adopted to divide the expenditure into five intervals (assigned values 1 to 5) in numerical order.…”

“…Property income, as a stable and durable source of income base (Angelovska & Časni, 2022), can effectively improve the income and wealth gap through productivity gap reduction (Brian & Jessica, 2013; Yao & Li, 2021), income source switching (Yu & Wang, 2021), and others (Yao et al., 2022). However, most of the existing studies cut from the perspectives of municipal incorporation (Hodges & Stephens, 2021), collective operating construction land transactions (Jiao & Xu, 2022) and livelihood capital (Yang et al, 2020) while neglecting the impact related to the citizenship of the agricultural transfer population (CRM) on property income in the urbanization construction.…”

Citizenship of the agricultural transfer population and property income‐‐empirical evidence from the Chinese region

In urbanization, achieving common prosperity is a common complication faced by human society in the process of development. The citizenship of the agricultural transfer population (CRM) is a vital urbanization goal in developing countries. However, there is rare empirical evidence on the citizenship of agricultural migrants and property income. The relaxation of household registration restrictions and property policy changes under China's new urbanization plan provide crucial material for the test of their causal effects. The results of this study suggest that the citizenship of the agricultural transfer population can be divided into two stages: identity conversion and service sharing. Both the initial household registration conversion and the later service sharing are conducive to the growth of property income of the residents who have switched from agriculture to non‐agriculture. Besides, the increase in transfer length of the “rural‐to‐non‐native” residents further strengthens the positive effect of service parity on property income. This implies that governments and relevant authorities in developing countries should emphasize the construction of a policy system for equalizing basic public services to facilitate the reduction of income disparity while stimulating economic growth. Additionally, the mechanism analysis reveals that the underlying logic of the citizenship of agricultural migrants lies in the ability to enrich total property, adjust asset allocation behavior, reinforce the efficiency of financial asset allocation, and achieve an increase in property income. The quantitative results of this study provide effective information for future sustainable urban development, especially for rational urbanization in developing countries.
