“…For example, overuse of pesticides can affect food production and food security by damaging soil ecosystems and reducing soil fertility and tolerance [24,27]. In addition, the excessive use of pesticides can also cause pollution and waste of water resources affecting sustainable water management [28][29][30], as well as potential health hazards for farmers and consumers, such as cancer and neurological damage [11,13,31]. Varghese and Erickson [32] found that India has high rates of pesticide poisoning among children due to widespread use and poor regulation of pesticides.…”

Promoting pesticide reduction is a critical component of achieving sustainable agriculture. However, the challenges involved in coordinating diverse stakeholder demands pose difficulties in promoting pesticide reduction behavior. To reveal the evolutionary paths of the decision-making processes of each player under various influencing factors and optimize pesticide reduction policies, this paper proposes a three-way evolutionary game model that considers the interests of the local governments, farmers, and consumers. The study reveals six stable equilibrium strategies in the evolutionary game system of pesticide reduction for sustainable agriculture (SA). Under polycentric governance, ideal states allow local governments to regulate farmers’ pesticide reduction and consumers’ purchases of green agricultural products. Regulatory measures such as providing technical and in-kind subsidies for pesticide reduction, imposing penalties for the overuse of pesticides, and promoting public awareness influence farmers’ and consumers’ decisions when it comes to reducing pesticides and purchasing green produce. Moreover, the total benefits of pesticide reduction for farmers and the utility of green produce consumption for consumers are primary factors that influence the evolutionary game system’s eventual evolution toward different stable equilibrium strategies. These factors primarily affect the supply and demand of green products, which in turn impacts pesticide reduction. This study enhances the policy analysis of pesticide reduction and provides valuable insights into constructing a pesticide reduction policy system based on polycentric governance.

Agricultural goods transactions with toke (in Bahasa is known as a traditional market agent) always carry a weight cutting of one to 2 kilograms per bag. Risk reduction is considered a burden to be borne. Therefore, how to study the law in the aspect of risk imposition when transactions occur between plantation farmers and toke in traditional markets. The aim of this research was to examine how weighing is carried out and the recognition of the weight of agricultural products on scales is associated with possible risks that will occur in the future. This research method was qualitative, field research. Data sources were garden sellers/farmers and toke in traditional markets. Data collection through interviews and examination of artifacts. Data analysis technique was qualitative descriptive. The research finding showed that when the agricultural harvest was sold, there was a scale cut of around 2 kg per bag, such as chilies, ginger, corn and so on. The result of reducing the scale in dealing with the risks that will occur with irregular goods. The risk was borne by the farmer/seller, this was suspected and endangers the continuity of the relationship between farmer, toke, retailer towards objects that change naturally. Cutting the weight of the scales was still permitted as long as it was within appropriate limits. Recommendations for cutting the weight of the scales when changing goods and not fixed goods.
