“…Unlike in developed economies, most agricultural fields in developing economies are cultivated by smallholder-type of farmers. Farmers who own small scale of agricultural land were more vulnerable to CC compared to farmers with larger land ownerships; hence, affecting their capacity to adopt strategies (Luu, 2020; Molua, 2022; Quan et al, 2019; Wilk, Andersson and Warburton, 2013).…”

“…was influenced by the farming experience during the season. A study by Luu (2020) investigated Vietnamese farmers' adoption of climate-smart agriculture is determined by educational level, social capital, access to credit, farmland size, tenure status, extension service, and market constraint. Farmers with large production scales are more financially capable and likely to afford climate-smart agriculture technology.…”

Farmers struggle to combat uncertain climate issues while encountering pressure on conventional farming practices that lead to carbon emissions, water and soil pollution, and other environmental harms. A growing body of literature investigated circular economy and sustainable practices to support environmental-friendly agriculture activities while providing opportunities for farmers to improve their farm income. Therefore, a study synthesizing previous literature while identifying actual policy to boost farmers’ implementation of sustainable agriculture is worthwhile. Using the Systematic Literature Review analysis, this paper aims to identify farmers’ views on climate change adaptation and mitigation, challenges in implementing circular economy and sustainable practices, and policies to support farmers’ transition toward sustainable agriculture in developed and developing countries. We found that (1) farmers’ awareness of climate change, knowledge and skills are prominent for adapting and mitigating climate change in both types of countries, (2) farmland size, risks of income loss, and training and extension services influenced farmers’ adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change in developing countries, (3) farmers in both types of countries experienced uncertainty in economic profits and legislative issues when adopting sustainable practices, while farmers in developing countries issued significant up-front expenses to acquire technology to adopt sustainable practices, (4) financial access and incentives through policy can be valuable to develop sustainable livelihoods, especially for farm households.

“…The first dimension that gained the most significant attention in previous research is membership in a farmer association. This refers to the formal affiliation of farmers with a group or organisation that aims to promote their interests and improve their livelihoods (Teklewold et al, 2013;Luu, 2020a). Membership in a farmer association can also provide opportunities for networking, social support, and cooperation among members (Zeweld et al, 2017).…”

“…Sustainable agriculture can reduce the carbon footprint on the environment, increase the efficiency of resource use and long-term productivity, and, more importantly, increase the resilience of the agricultural system (Bourne et al, 2021;Kansanga et al, 2020). Despite the benefits of sustainable agriculture, farmers' adoption of such practices and technologies is slow and uneven across different regions and contexts (Luu, 2020a).…”

“…Studies show that several factors have been identified as determinants influencing farmers' decision-making regarding sustainable agriculture. These factors include individual characteristics and economic, institutional, and technological factors (Luu, 2020a;Steffens et al, 2020;Luu, 2020). In addition, in recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding the role of social capital in using sustainable agricultural practices.…”

This paper presents a literature review examining the role of social capital in adopting sustainable agriculture, given the growing importance of sustainable agriculture for addressing climate change, food security, and resource scarcity. The review focuses on exploring the construct of social capital and its key dimensions and reviewing the impact of these dimensions on adoption. A Web of Science (WOS) database search identified 17 eligible articles for inclusion following a screening process. The review highlights that various social capital dimensions emerged from previous studies. However, these dimensions can be grouped into three primary constructs of social capital; social network, social norm and social trust. This paper also discussed how these three constructs could lead to better adoption of sustainable agriculture. The findings of this paper provide an understanding of social capital's role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices. By unpacking the construct of social capital and examining its dimensions and influence on adoption behaviours or outcomes, this paper contributes to a better understanding of the factors that influence farmers' decisionmaking processes and highlights social capital's importance in achieving sustainable agricultural development. Ultimately, this review can promote sustainable agriculture and enhance the sustainability and resilience of global food production systems.
