“…Tobit model was used for checking which socio-economic variables are affecting the extracted efficiency scores (Hassen et al 2017 ; W Kamal and Ilmas 2017 ). As mentioned from (Chang et al 2022 ) the use of OLS model can be biased due to the potential inclusion of zero values extracted from the DEA implementation process. Martinsson & Hansson ( 2021 ) have used OLS to assess the effect of subsidies in the performance of dairy farms and their overall productivity.…”

Safeguarding natural resources and energy is essential to ensure food security for future generations. Given the increase of published papers in the agricultural field applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), this review seeks to address the special requirements of this methodology when implemented in the agricultural sector as well as to classify papers under sustainability aspects (economic, environmental, social). More specifically, 120 papers from Scopus and Web of Science databases were included in this review by using PRISMA methodology, and they were tested in the following groups (i) General information, (ii) DEA implementation, (iii) DEA extensions, (iv) Data type, (v) Data collection and processing, and (vi) Sustainability dimensions. Results indicate that there is a great need for weights use when performing DEA in the agricultural sector, to acquire results with greater explanatory power. Moreover, systematic data collection of multiple factors could lead to the implementation of complex methodologies, providing feasible solutions to the involved stakeholders. Lastly, the social aspect is the least represented dimension out of the three aspects of sustainability, indicating the need for the integration of social factors in such analyses, especially when DEA is used to create a policy framework in a specific area.

“…Proficient behavior in complete sorting helps producers to increase competitiveness. Another benefit is that in order to survive, develop productive business diversification in agricultural activities, especially off-farm based on local resources and environmentally friendly [9], [40], [41], [42].…”

Applying a complete sorting technique is essential for the empowerment of cococraft craftsmen. However, complete sorting is often overlooked. Mixed products make the price the same. The research objective is focused on studying the benefits of applying complete sorting techniques to the empowerment of cococraft craftsmen. The research location is a cococraft production center located in Purbalingga Wetan, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The types of research data are primary and secondary. The research method is a descriptive case study with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The results showed that most respondents simply sorted raw materials, shapes, and sizes. Few respondents did complete sorting. Complete sorting is beneficial in increasing the respondent's ability to group products according to quality, estimate the right price, reduce price cuts, increase service, speed up sales time, expand marketing, guarantee customer markets, ease of marketing, inflation, increased mutual trust, establish business cooperation and social relations. The price of cococraft with the whole sort is higher, thus increasing revenue. Complete sorting includes selecting raw materials, shape, size, organ integrity, physical strength, color, texture pattern, surface smoothness, production status, durability, and practical benefits. The application of complete sorting techniques needs to be continuously diffused to craftsmen so they can obtain various functional benefits that support empowerment. Critical diffusion comprises regular consultative advocacy facilities between experienced craftsmen and others.

“…The first scenario involves rural laborers, initially in farming, switching to support their children's education in urban areas. These family members, more efficient in agriculture than in non-agricultural work, are compelled to take non-agricultural jobs, affecting their choice between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors [56]. "Previously, both of us (the child's parents) were farming at home, planting corn, raising pigs and sheep.…”

The impact of rural-urban student mobility on the efficiency of resource allocation in China’s rural households is crucial for refining policies related to rural migrant settlement and the balanced allocation of urban and rural educational resources. Drawing on theoretical insights, this study employs a mixed methods approach—primarily qualitative, with quantitative support—to empirically test the impact of rural-urban student mobility on the resource allocation efficiency of rural households in China. Utilizing micro-survey data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study applies ordinary least squares (OLS) models, propensity score matching difference-in-differences (PSM-DID) models, and endogenous switching regression (ESR) models to ascertain the direction of this impact. Furthermore, this study incorporates in-depth interview data gathered from field research in D County to explore the dynamic mechanisms of resource allocation adjustments within these households. The results show that rural-urban student mobility significantly reduces the efficiency of labor resource allocation and agricultural production in China’s rural households. The impact is heterogeneous across different groups, most negatively affecting households with limited labor resources, lower educational levels, lower incomes, more productive fixed assets, and less self-owned land. Mobility leads to suboptimal occupational choices, resulting in decreased labor resource efficiency. Additionally, it distorts agricultural production by leading to labor loss, reduced investments in agricultural productivity, and misaligned land allocation decisions.
