“…Especially, research conducted in the northwest of Vietnam indicated that growing fruit trees and perennial plants increased average earnings by 2.4 to 3.5-times that of Cropland [39]. It is expected that the higher the farmers' income, the more stable social-economic conditions within the region can be established, and better chances to achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) [44][45][46][47]. Dong Trieu district has been selected to produce fruit products meeting Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices standards, which have contributed to boosting the resident income.…”

Dong Trieu district is a vital connection for territorial ecological security and human welfare between Hanoi (the capital of Vietnam) and Quang Ninh province. Therefore, habitat quality (HQ) is of extraordinary importance to the area’s sustainable development. The ArcGIS platform, Dyna-CLUE, and InVEST models were utilized in this study to assess the spatial and temporal transformations of land use and the changes of HQ in 2030 under various scenarios, with intentions to find strategies that may mitigate the HQ’s deteriorating trend in the district. Simulated results indicated that, assuming the development is maintained as usual, the average HQ of the District at 2030 could diminish by 0.044 from that of 2019 (a four-times decrease compared to the previous decade). Cases comprised of four basic scenarios, including development as usual, built-up expansion slowdown, forest protection emphasized, and agricultural land conversion, were used to identify potential strategies to mitigate the deteriorating trend. Simulated results revealed that keeping the built-up expansion rate lower than 100 ha y−1, the deforestation rate lower than 20 ha y−1, and preferring orchards over agricultural land conversion is required to limit the drop in HQ to within 0.01 in the next decade. Other than the existing population growth control policy, new guidelines such as (1) changing urban expansion type from outward to upward to control the built-up expansion rate, (2) substituting forest-harming industries to forest-preservation industries to reduce deforestation rate, (3) encouraging orchards preferred over agricultural land conversion to increase incomes while maintaining higher habitat quality, (4) practicing better farming technologies to improve crop production and to alleviate potential food security issues due to considerable reduction in cropland, and (5) promoting Green Infrastructure and the Belt and Road Initiative to increase urban green cover and raise residents’ income should be considered in designing the new mitigation strategies.

“…Third, analyses of factors of income inequality and policy suggestions have been produced. Related literature revealed rural inequality influencing factors from diverse perspectives, such as agricultural trade liberalization [16], health levels [17], migration of labor force from rural areas [18,19], household socio-economic characteristics [20], livelihood assets [21], public policy [22,23], and income sources [24][25][26], with an emphasis on non-farming and farming income particularly [23,27,28], even on forestry-based income [29], environmental income [30,31], and transfers [32]. Using the Gini index decomposition analysis to study the impact of income sources on income inequality is a research hotspot, in particular non-farming income sources.…”

This study aimed to determine factors of rural income inequality changes in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China, to help formulate measures to reduce regional inequality and alleviate poverty in the southwestern mountainous area of China, which experiences frequent natural disasters and poor living conditions. Changes in rural income inequality are examined, which are then decomposed into different component factors based on the Gini index. Income inequality is comprised of four types of income source: wages, household operations, properties, and transfers. This analysis focuses on the period of 2003 to 2011—a special transitional stage during which the Wenchuan earthquake intervened. The results indicate that income from household operations plays a dominant role in income inequality. Its contribution to the overall inequality fluctuates from 36.40 to 50.39% and had a positive effect on reducing inequality after the earthquake. Wage income contributed the second-most to income inequality and had positive and negative effects on reducing inequality before and after the earthquake, respectively. Transfer and property incomes are important forces in income inequality that have different influencing mechanisms. Transfer income positively helps reduce income inequality. Exclusive favors or preferences should be granted to such areas.

The implementation of strategic strawberry cultivars in Serang village agriculture has caused some farmers to switch from vegetable farming to strawberry farming, this phenomena is interesting to find out whether the transfer to strawberry cultivar plants is followed by increased production efficiency and farmer welfare. The aim of this study is to analyze the level of technical efficiency of strawberry farming and vegetable farming, and to measure the level of welfare of farmers through the “farmer exchange rate index”. The data used in this study are primary data, with the method of “in-depth interviews”. Quantitative analysis was carried out to measure the level of technical efficiency of strawberry and vegetable farming using the Data Envelopment Analysis approach. The measurement of technical efficiency of strawberry and vegetable production uses input variables which consist of “land rent, labor, fertilizer, seeds, medicines, irrigation, and agricultural equipment”, and the output variable is production. Measurements of the efficiency of strawberry distribution and vegetable farming use variable input number of distributors and shipping costs, and the output variable is the distributor’s selling price. To measure the level of welfare of farmers, the farmers’ exchange rate index is used, which is a measure of the ability of the exchange rate of products produced and sold by farmers with products consumed by farmers, both those which are household needs and agricultural production costs. The results of the Data Envelopment Analysis show that from the level of efficiency of production and distribution, strawberry farming and vegetable farming on average are already efficient. The results of measuring the level of welfare of farmers indicate that strawberry and vegetable farmers are in prosperous conditions.
