“…The sample unit consists of rural households, and Cochran's formula was applied to determine the sample size for the local community (Moenikia & Zahed-Babelan 2010;Salhi et al 2021;Shil et al 2022). Based on the household population in the Dastgerd watershed (113 households) and Cochran's formula, the sample size was determined to be 87 individuals (heads of households).…”

The present study aimed to identify and prioritize people's participation barriers (PPBs) in watershed intervention projects (WIPs), considering the perspectives of both experts and local people in the Dastgerd watershed, Iran. Thirteen important PPBs in the implementation of WIPs were identified in the study. The findings indicated that a lack of participatory guidelines, an expert-oriented decision-making process, and a deficiency in economic incentives during the implementation of WIPs constituted the most crucial PPBs. In addition, according to the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, there is a significant difference in the perspectives of the two groups regarding the importance of 60% of PPBs. The biggest differences were observed concerning the two barriers of ‘ignoring people's benefit from the project’ and ‘lack of people consultation and attention to their suggestions’. Given the substantial impact of expert opinions on policy-making in watersheds, any misconceptions they hold regarding barriers and incentives for people's participation can lead to adverse outcomes in the planning of soil and water conservation projects. To address this issue, the establishment of think tanks and the facilitation of brainstorming sessions play a pivotal role in fostering mutual understanding, aligning the perspectives of local people and experts, and making informed decisions to overcome challenges.

India produces a large amount of shrimp every year and exports them globally. Yet, concerns have been raised about shrimps produced in India not qualifying the global safety standards. In this paper, we took an ethnographic approach to understand the traditional farming practices followed by shrimp farmers in India. We interviewed 29 shrimp farmers from Andhra Pradesh in India for eight months. We learned that most experienced and large-scale shrimp farmers in India prefer to follow traditional practices in their shrimp farms. They prefer to adopt technology-driven solutions in their farming only if absolutely needed. However, we observed that young, small-scale farmers are more open to trying new technologies in their farming. We discussed several areas where initiatives can be taken to encourage more Indian shrimp farmers to adopt new technology-driven solutions in their farming.
