“…The extension services are crucial to advice the farmers [181] in the implementation of the CSA practices [182], nonetheless the particularities of these services in some countries may compromise their contributions [183]. In Vietnam, for example, the adoption of CSA practices by the rice farmers is influenced by the following variables: perceptions about the climate change, educational level, credit and capital availability, land tenure, farm size, availability of extension services, and access to markets [184]. In Nigeria the choice of adaptation practices is influenced by the following dimensions: age, land tenure, extension services, gender, farm size, assets, experience, and credit availability [185].…”

The innovative technologies developed in the different fields of science (nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, genetic modification, etc.) opened new and infinite possibilities for the several stakeholders that carry out their activities in the different economic sectors. For agriculture, these new approaches are particularly relevant and may bring interesting contributions, considering the specificities of the sector, often dealing with contexts of land abandonment and narrow profit margins. Nonetheless, the question in these unstopped evolutions is about the interlinkages with sustainability. In this context, the objectives of this study are to highlight the main insights from the available scientific literature about the interrelationships between the new trends in the agriculture and the sustainability. To achieve these aims, a search on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) and Scopus databases was carried out, on 15 May 2021, for the topics ‘smart agriculture’ and ‘sustainability’. A total of 231 documents (102 from WoS and 129 from Scopus) were obtained, remaining 155 documents after removing the duplicated, which were surveyed through systematic review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. As main insights, the concerns of the researchers with the impacts on the sustainability from the transformations in the farming organization are highlighted. On the other hand, it was shown the relevance and the new opportunities, including in terms of food supply, arising from the precision agriculture, agricultural intelligence, vertical/urban farming, circular economy, internet of things, and crowdfarming. We suggest the new and wider concept of ‘integrated-smart agriculture’, better than ‘climate-smart agriculture’.

“…Studies conducted in Vietnam focused on the effectiveness of potential and priority CSATs (e.g., Nguyen et al 2020 ; CCAFS-SEA 2016b ; Nghia et al 2015 ) as well as the factors that influence farmers to adopt one or a combination of CSATs (e.g., Tran et al 2020 ; Luu 2020 ; Nguyen and Nguyen 2019 ; Le et al 2014a , b ). Key factors affecting farmers’ adoption of CSATs were found to include socio-demographic features, risk perception, social capital, or geographical location.…”

Farming household adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies: evidence from North-Central Vietnam

et al. 2023

Vietnam recently introduced a policy to promote climate-smart agricultural technologies (CSATs) to enhance farmer resilience and adaptation to climate change. This study sought to identify factors influencing the adoption and the continuation of CSATs adoption among smallholder farmers. The study surveyed 215 farmers in My Loi Village, Ha Tinh Province in North-Central Vietnam, where CSATs have been adopted and practiced since 2014. Logistic and ordinary least square regression models were applied to analyze the data. The results showed that attendance to training on CSATs, presence of a fellow farmer as a source of information, rice cultivation, farming experience and number of crops grown significantly influenced the adoption of CSATs. Farmer adoptions of CSATs, in contrast, were negatively influenced by more working men in the family and membership in a farming organization. The continuous adoption of CSATs was promoted by training, support from agriculture extension officers, upward mobility of farmers, farm ownership and the number of crops grown. Meanwhile, families with a larger number of male workers were less likely to continuously adopt CSATs. Policy-related recommendations were proposed to encourage farmers to adopt CSATs in the region. They included: (i) raising public awareness on CSATs through provision of high-quality information and training; (ii) enhancing technical assistance through the agricultural extension staff to all farmers, especially women; (iii) considering local context and smallholder farmer socioeconomic factors when developing climate-smart actions and programs.

“…Thus, focusing on farmers' intention at this stage is especially critical. Farmers' intention, behavior, and decision on farmland management were generally influenced by their gender, age, education, family size, income (Liu and Chen, 2012;Liu and Tan, 2006;Luu, 2020;Malawska et al, 2014;Seroa da Motta and Ortiz, 2018;Thinda et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2010), and benefit expectations (Hernandez-Espallardo et al, 2013). In terms of variables, the influencing factors were mainly related to farmer or household characteristics.…”
