“…The research architecture also incorporated the participatory empirical technique [16][17], conducted during a 15-day ordination process, providing a firsthand understanding of the daily life and characteristics of Thai Buddhist monks. This step contributed to the holistic exploration of the monks' roles as community leaders and the practical application of the identified skills in their daily activities.…”

This research explores the essential skills required by Thai Buddhist moral teacher monks as community leaders for sustainable development. These monks, representing Buddhism, play a crucial role in conserving teachings and fostering spiritual well-being. The study, employing mixed methods, identifies a comprehensive set of 17 skills necessary for their leadership roles, ranging from academic coordination to digital mediabased Dhamma teaching and environmental management. The findings highlight a direct alignment between these skills and specific United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The identified skills contribute significantly to achieving inclusive education, sustainable economic growth, resilient infrastructure, responsible consumption, environmental protection, and the promotion of peaceful societies. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the importance of cultivating a diverse skill set among Thai Buddhist moral teacher monks, offering valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and religious institutions seeking to enhance leadership capabilities and align efforts with global sustainability objectives.

“…This paper aims to investigate the effect of FMOS on cropping structure. However, the decision of farmers to adopt FMOS is influenced by unobservable factors, such as production preferences and skills (Silva et al, 2010;Mponela et al, 2023). To address the endogeneity problem caused by self-selection, ERM can provide more precise parameter estimates.…”

IntroductionThe impact of farm machinery outsourcing services (FMOS) on grain production has been extensively studied in the literature. However, whether FMOS would adjust cropping structures and ensure food security is little known. To address this research gap, we analyzed the impact of FMOS on the cropping structure adjustment and grain production of farmers.MethodsWe estimate the impact of FMOS on grain production by using data collected from a survey of 3,863 wheat farmers in China. We employ the Extended Regression Model (ERM) to address selectivity bias.Results and discussionThe empirical results show that FMOS can adjust the cropping structure and increase the proportion of household food cultivation. Among all segments of FMOS, fertilizer application services drive the increase in grain acreage more significantly. We also find that large-scale households prefer to self-purchase farm machinery rather than FMOS, leading to an insignificant impact of FMOS on cropping structure. Therefore, in the process of promoting the development of FMOS, we should focus on the coordinated development of various types of FMOS, strengthen the popularization and application of fertilization services, and formulate a differentiated subsidy policy for heterogeneous farmers in terms of scale to better play the role of agricultural machinery in promoting grain production.
