“…Economic level, quality of life, and emotional status are the core content of poverty for the elderly. Traditional Chinese rural family care for the elderly often uses economic support, life care, and emotional comfort to reduce the possibility of the elderly falling into poverty [ 32 ]. The impact of the transfer of agricultural land on rural elderly poverty should also be considered from the three aspects of the economy, mental health, overall health, and wellbeing (see Figure 1 ).…”

This study explores the impact of farmland transfer on the multidimensional relative poverty of the elderly in rural areas to provide a reference for the study of rural land transfer in China and improve the welfare system for the elderly. Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) rural sample data in 2018, this paper uses the AF multidimensional index measurement method to assess multidimensional relative poverty in rural areas. Logit regression estimation examines the single index poverty of rural older adults transferred from rural land and the impact of multidimensional relative poverty, using the propensity score matching method (PSM) to analyze the results’ robustness. The transfer of agricultural land has different impacts on the poverty of different rural elderly poverty indicators and negatively affects the comprehensive effect of rural elderly poverty. The transfer of agricultural land significantly alleviates rural elderly poverty. Reasonable and effective transfer of agricultural land, together with improved rural social security and a caring service system for the elderly, will promote the continuous operation of large-scale agricultural operations and alleviate rural elderly poverty.

“…Ambros found that the reason for the transformation from small farms to large farms in the Baltic Sea lies in the change of agricultural policy tendency [12]. Yagi et al found that the government's policy of promoting leasing improves land mobility and helps to increase the size of family rice farms in Fukui Prefecture, Japan [42]. Hoang et al put forward that government intervention is an important factor in promoting agricultural specialisation in the study of the rice scale in Vietnam [43].…”

Which Scale Is Appropriate for the Sustainable Management of Paddy Field?—A Case Study of Jiaxing, China

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article aims to explore the appropriate scale for the cultivation of paddy field and its influencing factors in Jiaxing. The stochastic frontier production function and binary logit method were used to calculate the appropriate scale. The results showed: (1) The appropriate management scale of the paddy field in Jiaxing is 10–30 ha. (2) The farmers’ willingness to cultivate paddy field on a large scale was positively correlated with land quality, and their number of years engaged in agriculture. (3) It was negatively correlated with the difficulty of obtaining a loan and the age of the farmers. This research proposed that the government should continue to support the appropriate scale management of paddy field, and promote agricultural modernisation. At the same time, the government should also attach importance to promoting the role of science and technology in agriculture by actively training new generations of professional farmers, promoting land transfer, and implementing the subsidy policy for larger-scale cultivation to create a good environment for farmers to work on an appropriate scale.

“…The IPTW method is capable of producing a consistent estimate of the effect of treatment (Austin, 2011; Guo & Fraser, 2014; Joffe et al, 2004). The IPTW approach has been widely applied to estimate the treatment effect of, for example, technology adoption (Manda et al, 2020; Yagi & Hayashi, 2021), livelihood‐improving activity (Kissoly et al, 2017), and farmer organisation participation (Shumeta & D'Haese, 2018).…”

We explore the effects of different farmer organisations on smallholder farmers' economic performance. The average treatment effect of switching between different farmer organisations is examined. In addition, based on the premise that a higher level of social capital is accumulated through participation in multiple farmer organisations, we also investigate how the economic consequences of farmer organisation membership vary with the intensity of participation. Our conceptual model explicitly includes social capital to provide a micro-foundation and a theoretical justification for the linkage between farmer organisation participation and the economic outcome. This indicates that participating in different types of farmer organisations is beneficial for farm households only when the returns from social capital investment outweigh the time cost of participation. Our empirical results suggest that membership of farmer organisations that are more homogeneous in terms of member specialty and similarity in production and marketing activities results in a significant increase in farm sales revenue and net returns. This result supports the view that technological proximity accentuates knowledge spillovers within the farmer organisations, and thus leads to better economic outcomes. In line with the prediction of the theoretical model, the average treatment effect of participation is found to increase with the number of organisations that farmers belong to. Moreover, results from the quantile regression provide empirical evidence supporting increasing returns to social capital accumulated through participation in several farmer organisations.
