“…On the other hand, farmers' enthusiasm for using lowcarbon technologies is low due to lack of awareness or knowledge [7]. Furthermore, time and learning costs required to use new technologies also reduce the adoption of low-carbon technologies by farmers to a certain extent [8,9,32]. From the perspective of agricultural enterprises, due to the long cycle, high cost, and high risk of low-carbon technology innovation, the low-carbon innovation enthusiasm of agricultural enterprises is not high [11].…”

“…However, Liu et al believed that the current economic incentives have not greatly improved the adoption rate of sustainable agricultural practices at the farm level, and technical training for farmers can increase the likelihood of low-carbon 2 Complexity agricultural technology adoption [13]. Some scholars suggested that farmers are the main body of the diffusion of lowcarbon agricultural innovation, so it is more important to change farmers' views on environmental issues and climate change [7,32]. Lybbert and Sumner argued that national and international policymakers must incorporate a global perspective into agricultural policies in order to better address global climate change.…”

Encouraging the adoption and diffusion of low-carbon agricultural technology innovation is an important measure to cope with climate change, reduce environmental pollution, and achieve sustainable agricultural development. Based on evolutionary game theory, this paper establishes a game model among agricultural enterprises, government, and farmers and analyzes the dynamic evolutionary process and evolutionary stable strategies of the major stakeholders. The impact of innovation subsidies, carbon taxes, and adoption subsidies on low-carbon agricultural innovation diffusion is simulated using Matlab software. The results show that the government’s reasonable subsidies and carbon taxes for agricultural enterprises and farmers can increase the enthusiasm of agricultural enterprises and farmers to participate in low-carbon agriculture. This study can be used as a basis for the government to formulate more targeted policies to promote the diffusion of low-carbon agricultural innovation.

“…Ela já tem sido uma preocupação das políticas públicas brasileiras que visam integrar o agronegócio com as necessidades socioambientais (SAMBUICHI et al, 2014). Foguesatto et al (2019) afirmam que, antes de aplicar as políticas públicas para incentivar a aplicação de práticas de agricultura sustentável no Brasil, é importante entender a percepção dos agricultores quanto à questão ambiental.…”

Esta é a realidade que se apresenta no setor agrícola, com estratégias que podem envolver o uso de variedades de cultivo mais resistentes, e de modelos de simulação de culturas que permitem identificar a época ideal para o plantio e o uso de agrotóxicos.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os principais impactos que os ecossistemas agrícolas e naturais vêm sofrendo com a ocorrência das mudanças climáticas, e então expor algumas estratégias de mitigação dos impactos e da adaptação destes ecossistemas às mudanças. Dentre as estratégias, podem-se citar o uso de modelos de simulação de culturas como suporte ao conhecimento e tomadas de decisão, o uso de genes de plantas adaptadas às alterações climáticas no melhoramento genético, e o uso de políticas públicas voltadas ao desenvolvimento sustentável.

“…A myriad number of recent works have reported that the adoption of SASs at the farm level is an appropriate option in meeting these challenges [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Some of the SASs is available to farmers who can save water by using water-saving irrigation techniques, increasing water storage, and using water efficiently [18,19]. Using organic fertilizer, replacing crop varieties, and changing cropping patterns are examples of SASs that are likely to concurrently increase crop production.…”

The implementation of sustainable adaptation strategies (SASs) is crucial to mitigate climate change impact as well as reduce the loss of natural disasters and increase agricultural crop production. However, current policies and programs based on agricultural incentives are mostly inadequate to increase SASs practices at the farm level. Hence, a deeper understanding of farmers’ ‘perceived typologies to the environmental issue and climate change’ is necessary for implementing SASs to enhance farmers’ ability to adapt at the farm level. This research intends to demarcate farmers in various categories, according to their perceptions on environmental and climate change issues in the northern part of Bangladesh. Principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were employed to analyze the survey data collected from 501 households in the study area. Farmers were clustered into three types, ‘Ecocentric’, ‘Worried’, and ‘Anthropocentric’, based on their perceived knowledge regarding environmental issues and climate change, which guides the adoption of SASs. The ‘Worried’ cluster showed a high sense of perceived risk of climate change and a significant positive association with the adoption of SASs. By contrast, ‘Ecocentric’ and ‘Anthropocentric’ groups showed a low sense of awareness of climate change and a significant negative association with the adoption of SASs. The findings can assist policymakers in promoting the adoption of SASs based on the farmers’ cluster and thus enhance their resilience.
