“…Hypothesis 5. Studies have shown that education of farmers can significantly increase farmers' sense of responsibility and reduce farmers' fertilizer use (Ying et al, 2017;Tian et al, 2021;Luo et al, 2022), that moral responsibility, environmental knowledge, and skills can promote farmers' proenvironmental behavior, and that cultivating farmers' sense of moral responsibility and responsibility and running field schools can promote farmers' pro-environmental behavior (Bagheri et al, 2019;Gowda et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2021). Education and training by cooperatives can make smallholder farmers aware of the ecological damage caused by the heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides.…”

For countries with small farmers as the main body of agricultural production, green production transformation of small farmers is crucial to achieve green agricultural development. Based on the prospect theory, this paper builds an evolutionary game model of cooperative leading the green production transformation of small farmers, systematically deduces the possible combination of different strategies of both sides, and puts forward targeted countermeasures for improvement. Finally, the simulation is verified, and the influence of relevant parameters on the decision-making of both sides is analyzed. In the initial stage of green production transformation, the local government’s support to the cooperative supervision and incentive strategy is the key to the successful transformation. Cooperatives can effectively promote small farmers’ transition to green production by reducing green production costs and increasing their perceived ecological benefits, moral benefits and brand benefits, but the effect of simply increasing the proportion of dividends is not obvious. Under the supervision and incentive strategy of cooperatives, there is an interval in which small farmers adopt cooperation strategy but fail to realize income increase, so cooperatives should increase the benefit distribution of small farmers. The research results provide reference for the green production transformation of small farmers, and also have strong enlightenment for the cooperative hitchhiking governance.

“…In the recent years the agricultural education systems have a great progress to change the traditional thinking, which was aiming to achieve the progress on the quantity of agro-food production. Currently, the education system focuses on the quality of produced food, pesticides content, environmental impacts, climate change impacts on the human being and biodiversity (Tian et al, 2021). The new approaches including water, energy, food and ecosystem nexus (WEFE) which considered as the main three resources that sustain the human life as well as international, regional, and domestic economies (Salam et al, 2017).That highlights the importance of using the available resources efficiently through reducing the percentage share of lost and wasted food.…”

Decreasing food waste (FW) came to be an urgent need to achieve sustainable food systems transformation. Measuring the youth's awareness towards FW represents an important action to design an effective strategy intervention that aims reduction the percentage of FW. The purpose of this paper is to explore the knowledge of youth regarding FW as well as identify factors influencing this knowledge. To achieve the aim of this study, the primary data have been collected from 430 students at Fayoum University, Egypt. The binary logistic regression (BLR) model was employed to identify factors influencing FW knowledge among youth. Results showed that age, residence place, and knowledge of social, economic and environmental impacts of food waste are significantly influencing knowledge about FW. The current results concluded and highlighted the importance of designing an educational curriculum at universities including FW and sustainable consumption concepts. So, youth's skills-building interventions through campaigns should be regularly held to promote changing norms and attitudes toward less FW and responsible consumption behaviour to accelerate the sustainable agri-food systems transformation in developing countries.

“…This preference has persisted even with the introduction of online and other digital sources (Zeng, Qiu, & Zhang, 2022). Interpersonal relations, whether among individuals or in groups, aid in people's formation of a better understanding of political issues, which may result in notable shifts in attitudes, according to (Tian, Yu, Xiang, & Li, 2021). While it remains unclear whether interpersonal relations strengthen or weaken people's political beliefs Njeri and Mberia (2019), researchers Tian et al (2021); (Zeng et al, 2022) have contended that the degree of homophile among those interacting determines how effective interpersonal interactions are.…”

“…Furthermore, to optimize pro􀅫itability, high-quality crop management and output are essential. Therefore, IoT-based agricultural management solutions are essential for a nation that relies heavily on agriculture (Tian et al, 2021). Farmers now enjoy numerous bene􀅫its from the new systems created with IoT technology, which have lessened the disadvantages of traditional methods.…”

In this cross-sectional quantitative research study, the researcher aimed to determine whether South Kalimantan Province in Indonesia serves as an optimal location for investigating the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in agriculture. The researcher also explored the effects of mass media and interpersonal sources, the moderating role of psychological capital and psychological capital theory, and the mediating in􀅫luence of technological anxiety on farmers' adoption intentions of IoT in agriculture. Our data collection involved survey questionnaires administered to a sample of 305 farmers from South Kalimantan Province. Through rigorous Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) analysis, we examined the complex interplay of variables in this context. Our 􀅫indings will shed light on the suitability of this region for IoT in agriculture research and provide insights into the multifaceted factors that in􀅫luence farmers' technology adoption decisions. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in the 􀅫ield of agricultural technology adoption and can inform policies and strategies aimed at fostering IoT adoption among farmers, not only in South Kalimantan but also potentially in other similar agricultural regions.
