“…Ricart and Rico [2] found that knowledge is a key determinant of farmers' willingness to recycle water. Xu et al [63] (p. 2870) reported that "information publicity can exert an indirect effect on recycling intention through subjective norms". This finding is supported by previous research, as a positive relationship between knowledge and behavioral intentions has been demonstrated in empirical studies [26,68,74], including studies on waste reduction intentions and behaviors [14,[31][32][33].…”

“…Therefore, it is assumed that farmers' adoption of farming technology is linked to maximizing economic benefits [28,62]. Xu et al [63] found that economic incentives have a significant influence on farmers' intentions to recycle pharmaceutical waste. Lazaridou et al [15] confirmed that farmers' willingness to use recycled water is linked to their perception of its environmental benefits.…”

“…Several researchers have found that knowledge is related to farmers' willingness to adopt new farming technologies [26,62] and reuse water [2], and this knowledge influences their intentions to implement sustainable farming practices [44]. Xu et al [63] confirmed that information publicity positively influences farmers' intentions to recycle pharmaceutical waste. Li et al [56] found that technological cognition predicts farmers' adoption of water conservation tillage technology.…”

The scarcity of water resources, climate change, and water-wasting behavior have contributed to a worsening water crisis in many countries. This has raised concerns among farmers and increased pressure on governments. Digital technologies provide effective solutions to reduce resource waste; therefore, exploring farmers’ willingness to implement water-smart farming technologies to reduce waste, especially in developing countries, requires further analysis. To address this gap, this paper aims to investigate the factors that influence farmers’ intention to minimize water waste in Algeria. The theory of planned behavior was extended with the constructs of perceived usefulness of water-smart farming and knowledge of water waste reduction. Primary data were collected from 202 farmers to test the model. The empirical evidence suggests that attitudes, knowledge about water waste reduction, perceived usefulness, and perceived behavioral control significantly predict farmers’ intention to reduce waste. These factors explained 54.6% of the variation in intention. However, social influence was not found to be a significant antecedent of intentions. This paper’s findings can provide useful insights for various stakeholders on how to encourage farmers to reduce water waste and offer guidance on strategies for achieving sustainability in agriculture.

“…According to the statistics of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment over the years, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the continuous development of China's social economy and the acceleration of the pace of people's life, the production of domestic waste in large and medium cities has continued to rise, the pollution problem has become increasingly serious, and the phenomenon of "garbage encircling the city" has become increasingly serious [1]. Affected by the imperfect statistical data, as of 2019, the annual domestic waste production has reached 235.605 million tons, with a cumulative growth rate of 45.9% in seven years.…”

In recent years, the continuous improvement of people's living standards has made the garbage increase exponentially, and the pressure of environmental governance is increasing, and the problem of garbage classification and recycling governance is imminent. Based on the comprehensive analysis framework of planned behavior theory and normative activation theory, this study uses structural equation model and 525 questionnaires to empirically test the influencing factors and mechanism of public garbage sorting and recycling intention. The results show that: (1) Public garbage sorting and recycling intention is the result of the interaction of rationality and morality, rather than pure rationality or pure morality driven behavior. (2) Behavioral attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and personal norms all have a positive impact on the public's behavioral intention of garbage classification and recycling. (3) Results consciousness and responsibility ownership have positive effects on personal norms. (4) The reward and punishment system from the external situation is one of the measures to effectively improve the public's willingness to recycle garbage. Finally, according to the research conclusions, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to improve the public's willingness and behavior in the process of garbage classification and recycling.
