Understanding the geographic pattern of diffusion of modern crop varieties in India: a multilevel modeling approach

Abstract

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), is a CGIAR Research Center established in 1975, provides research-based policy solutions to sustainably reduce poverty and end hunger and malnutrition. IFPRI's strategic research aims to foster a climate-resilient and sustainable food supply; promote healthy diets and nutrition for all; build inclusive and efficient markets, trade systems, and food industries; transform agricultural and rural economies; and strengthen institutions and governance. Gender is integrated in all the Institute's work. Partnerships, communications, capacity strengthening, and data and knowledge management are essential components to translate IFPRI's research from action to impact. The Institute's regional and country programs play a critical role in responding to demand for food policy research and in delivering holistic support for country-led development. IFPRI collaborates with partners around the world.

Fatores Associados À Adoção De Tecnologia No Setor Agropecuário

“…Ainda na categoria IS, há o uso de sementes melhoradas geneticamente, com o intuito de promover uma melhora na produtividade e na qualidade do produto, bem como de minimizar o efeito de alguns tipos de riscos agropecuários, como as variações climáticas (Zakaria et al, 2020;Jones-Garcia;Krishna, 2021;Kumar et al, 2021;Mulwa;Muyanga;Visser, 2021).…”

“…Outras características do produtor rural que exercem influência positiva no processo de adoção de tecnologia no setor rural foram o tamanho da família (Zakaria et al, 2020;Kumar et al, 2021), ser homem (Brown et al, 2016), a experiência na atividade agropecuária (Kumar et al, 2021) e a robustez financeira (Brown et al, 2016) (quadro 5). O tamanho da família relaciona-se com o número de membros que pode contribuir para a realização de atividades na propriedade rural (Zakaria et al, 2020).…”

“…As características da propriedade rural, definidas como a segunda categoria de fatores, exerceram influência positiva na adoção de tecnologia no setor agropecuário (Sadigov, 2018;Mungia;Llewellyn, 2020;Weersink;Fulton, 2020). Em relação à empresa rural, destacam-se a influência positiva do tamanho da propriedade (Ashraf et al, 2015;Läpple;Renwick;Thorne, 2015;Brown et al, 2016;Giua;Materia;Camanzi, 2021), o uso distinto da terra (Brown et al, 2016) e a qualidade do solo, ou nível de fertilidade e disponibilidade de nutrientes (Kumar et al, 2021), na adoção de tecnologia nos empreendimentos agropecuários. O tamanho da propriedade pode estar associado à extensão territorial ou ao valor da receita bruta de um estabelecimento agropecuário (Giua;Materia;Camanzi, 2021).…”

Revisiting food security in 2021: an overview of the past year

“…Another theme that continued to attract attention in 2021 involves change in the use and adoption of new and improved agricultural technologies and inputs, and the ensuing benefits for people and planet. This year the journal featured articles on climate-smart agricultural practices in Pakistan (ul Haq et al, 2021 ), fertilizer use for maize in Kenya (Jena et al, 2021 ) and varieties of different crops in India, Rwanda and Morocco (Danso-Abbeam et al, 2021 ; Kumar et al, 2021 ; Yigezu et al, 2021 ). ul Haq et al ( 2021 ) document the adoption of a range of climate-smart practices in the Pakistan Punjab, and demonstrate that farm households using more such practices had greater food diversity and dietary intake.…”
