“…The National Agricultural Research Center in Egypt, for example, employs almost 100,000 people, yet its extension services to help farmers are severely lacking (Keulertz and Woertz, 2015). Indeed, education is crucial for sustainable agricultural growth because it raises their knowledge, improves their skills and practices, changes their attitudes and encourages farmers to use proper strategies and technologies, such as doing postharvest operations for perishable products and boosting AVA (Ali et al, 2021;Alwedyan and Taani, 2021;Marenya et al, 2021;Zobeidi et al, 2021). In addition to farmers, food processors and retailers must be educated to provide high-valueadded products.…”

The global economy in recent decades has experienced frequent shocks. Many regions must improve their competitiveness and value-added to deal with this. One of them is in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where a rise in agricultural value-added (AVA) can produce more jobs than in other sectors. It is necessary to consider increasing AVA in the MENA region. Hence, the aim of this study is identifying the determinant factors of AVA in the MENA region. We employed 13 countries in the MENA region as samples in this study. The study's data spans 45 years, from 1975 to 2019. Static panel data regression analysis was employed in this study. AVA can growth by increasing the irrigated land, credit, and human capital. Meanwhile, growing inflation and economic globalization will reduce AVA. Therefore, we recommend that countries in the MENA region have to increase irrigation infrastructure, expand agricultural credit availability, encourage farmers to get a good education, improve research and development, control inflation, and find the best way to implement economic globalization.

“…This finding corroborates the result from [30], who revealed that sex was significantly correlated with farmers' adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in Ebonyi State. On the other hand, [7] found that farmers' age, farming experience, and education status were factors that affected citrus farmers' adoption of sustainable agriculture practices in the Northern Ghor of Jordan valley. Similarly, [17] found that education level, income from agriculture, farmer cooperative and credit were determinant factors in the adoption of most of the agricultural practices that were considered.…”

This study investigated farmers’ use of sustainable production practices for yellow pepper crop in the Nsukka agricultural zone, Enugu State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used in selecting 135 farmers and interview schedule using structured questionnaires was employed for data collection. Data generated were analysed with SPSS software using frequency and percentage, mean scores, standard deviation, factor analysis, and logistic regression. Findings revealed that the majority (91.1%) of the yellow pepper farmers had moderate knowledge on sustainable production practices and that some of the practices used were mass selection (97.0%), use of poultry manure (95.60%), use of improved varieties of yellow pepper (94.0%), crop rotation practices (91.10%), and minimum use of agrochemicals (78.50). Among the factors considered to be potential determinants of farmers’ use of sustainable production practices, only sex was statistically significant, at 5% level. Also, findings indicated that technical, institutional, and economic constraints affected farmers’ use of sustainable production practices. Furthermore, results indicated that sustainable production practices could be enhanced through the use of improved seeds (85.5%), access to credit facilities (77.8%), access to extension services (71.8%), and training of farmers (68.9%). The study therefore recommends that government and private sectors should provide services that will facilitate the development of sustainable production practices of Nsukka yellow pepper crop, as this will have a long-term effect on productivity and the production environment.

In the face of global environmental challenges and the urgent need for sustainable development, agriculture takes center stage as a catalyst for transformative change. This bibliometric analysis explores the extensive body of literature pertaining to the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on the economic sustainability of farmers, offering a comprehensive overview of the existing scholarly landscape. Sustainable agricultural practices encompass a range of environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable farming methods, from organic farming to integrated pest management. This analysis seeks to identify trends, patterns, and knowledge gaps within this domain, mapping the intellectual structure, highlighting key themes, influential authors, and prominent journals. By systematically examining the literature, it provides valuable insights into the current state of knowledge, emerging research frontiers, and areas warranting further exploration, ultimately contributing to the creation of a more sustainable and economically viable future for farming communities worldwide.
