“…The issues related to environmental awareness of farmers are also present in the studies which focus on searching for factors influencing the perception of the sustainable development and sustainable agriculture concept (Halbrendt, Gray and Chan-Halbrendt, 2012;Hayran, Gul and Saridas, 2018;Kiełbasa, Pietrzak, Uleń, Drangert and Tonderski, 2018;Tatlidil, Tatlidil and Boz, 2008). The issue of perception and environmental awareness was also analysed in the context of practiced agricultural systems.…”

The major objective of the article was to assess how farmers perceive the environmental impact of agriculture and to identify the characteristics of farms managed by farmers differing in terms of environmental awareness. The studies covered 600 commercial farms across Poland, participating in the FADN. Awareness of farmers in this area was assessed using the Likert scale. Depending on the included element of the natural environment, from about 30 to 60% of the farmers were aware of the negative environmental impact of agricultural production. According to the farmers surveyed, the main motive justifying a need to protect the environment is care for health-relatively few farmers associate a need to protect the environment with the conditions of economic activities. The analyses carried out also showed that farmers aware of the negative environmental impact of agricultural production managed farms with the higher production potential on average, higher intensity and better economic results. The higher level of awareness of farmers from farms conducting the more intensive production contradicts the argument that intensively farming farmers do not see environmental problems.

“…Addressing the concern of soil loss in hilly terrains with the adoption of erosion control measures such as bench terracing for growing crops, highlight the research focus with specific agro-ecological zones in mind (Rutebuka et al, 2021). Increasing awareness amongst farmers, changing their perception towards adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, has also been recognized (Hayran et al, 2018;Nguyen & Drakou, 2021). A number of studies have highlighted the fact that the successful adoption of any strategy and generation of public support will only be useful if it is economically sustainable even for small farm households (Branca et al, 2021;Veluguri et al, 2021).…”

With the need to fulfil the rising food demands of the increasing population, the agriculture sector faces a huge challenge. The issue is compounded by climatic change, severe shortage of water, increasing salinity, habitat vulnerability and pollution amongst others. Considerable emphasis worldwide is focused on research aimed to sustain as well increase agricultural productivity. The present study focuses on systematically mapping the thrust areas of research related to sustainable agriculture based on search results from SCOPUS database. The retrieved data was analysed using VOS viewer application program to create network maps based on term co-occurrence analysis. The analysis further provides insight into the most active authors, countries, institutions as well as citations. A total of 12,261 documents were retrieved. A significant increase in the number of publications was seen in the last decade. The retrieved documents were contributed by authors belonging to 156 countries and had an average of 6.24 citations per document with an h-index of 40. Cluster analysis highlighted three focus areas of research- (1) sustainable agriculture (2) factors affecting crop yield and (3) basic research into plant growth, metabolism, development and aging. The underlying principle of all the research programs pertain to the use of innovative technologies and judicious use of resources for maximal production with due importance to environmental, economic and social aspects.

“…Dialogue is conducted to find out coherence among the actors. Divergence in programme development becomes convergence agreement among the farmers so that the programme development can be sustainable (Hayran, Gul and Saridas, 2018). Mutual agreement among the farmers so that the programme development can be sustainable, raises a mutual understanding among farmers that participatory communication is needed as a communication strategy therefore the development of black rice programme can be sustainable in Figure 2.…”

The study assessed the role of agricultural counselling centres in the development of black rice programme in Central Java, Indonesia. Black rice is a food source that has health benefits. Purplish black colour comes from anthocyanin which contains high antioxidants, used as an alternative healthy food to prevent degenerative diseases such as heart attacks and diabetes. The purpose of the study was to analyse the convergence communication and communication networks of actors who are involved in the development of black rice programme. Phenomenology and qualitative approaches are used to find out how the actors interact in the development of black rice programme. This study took data from in-depth interviews with 32 informants, 19 FGD informants, observation processes and analysed using UCINET 6. The results show that communication networks are formed in personal networks, the highest degree of centrality value was used to see the interaction between actors with the link in the meeting of information needs (0.287). The actors who have the highest centrality value, the Agricultural Counselling Centre (BPP) indicates that BPP has the ability to be a communication bridge in the communication networks to increase the participation of actors in the development of black rice programme in order to run sustainable.
