“…Producers' families: They have a high impact on the three dimensions of sustainability since the families of the owners support the work of the crop to ensure its optimal operation. The economic, environmental, and social impacts are high since both the crop owners and their families depend on the income generated [35,36]. In addition, the families of crop owners may be exposed to diseases related to the use of agrochemicals because they are involved in the various tasks related to the crop.…”

Studying the social dynamics and development potential of agricultural enterprises is fundamental to promoting sustainable territorial growth. This study aims to assess the impact of growers of small and medium-sized hydrangea crops in the Colombian province of La Paz through a social life cycle analysis (S-LCA), shedding light on their fundamental roles as catalysts for regional development. For this purpose, the prioritization of actors and performance indicators is conducted following the methodologies proposed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Social variables are identified using the subcategory assessment method (SAM) to strengthen and assess indicators of low and high performance. Sixteen subcategories are qualitatively assessed, with 56% falling short of performance benchmarks, 25% meeting the benchmarks, 13% exceeding the benchmarks with proactive behavior, and 6% having potential with effort. Priority areas were identified as local employment and economic development contributions. This study highlights the significant impact of hydrangea production on territorial development, emphasizing the need to improve social security and health conditions for workers. Environmental actions to reduce agrochemical use are also advocated. This study proposes transforming the social life cycle analysis into an opportunity to evaluate actors’ performance and their contribution to territorial and sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of assessing social impacts, ethical implications, and community relations throughout the crop value chain, with governance being a crucial aspect for territorial development. This study advocates the integration of these analyses into farm operations, serving as a benchmark for similar assessments across various agricultural activities.

“…Therefore, it is more costly for farmers on a small scale to improve the total factor productivity by introducing modern agricultural technology. In addition, statistics show that the cultivated area of most farmers in China is less than 10 mu and relatively scattered (Li et al, 2022), which restricts the production efficiency and makes it difficult to realize large-scale agricultural mechanization. On the one hand, such large scale entities as leading specialized households and family farms have sufficient funds, and the scale effect and high prospective earnings create a better financing environment for them (Chamberlin and Jayne, 2019).…”

Large scale agricultural business entities (hereinafter referred to as “the large scale entities”) are newly sprouted in the process of China’s agricultural transformation from traditional production to modern mode, while the improvement of agricultural total factor productivity is an important driving force to realize agricultural transformation in China. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore whether the former has a promoting effect on the latter. First of all, the effective improvement of agricultural total factor productivity by the large scale entity development is analyzed from the two aspects of scale effect and technology utilization effect, and the effect mechanism is discussed in depth in this paper. Secondly, empirical test was carried out by using the panel data of prefecture-level cities from 2015 to 2020. The benchmark regression results show that the development of large scale entities can significantly improve agricultural total factor productivity. The mechanism test results indicate that the development of large scale entities improves the agricultural total factor productivity by raising the agricultural mechanization level. The results of heterogeneity analysis show that the difference between large scale entities would affect the benchmarking results. Therefore, it is believed through the study as discussed in this paper that devoting greater effort to support the development of large scale entities is an important measure to improve agricultural total factor productivity and promote China’s agricultural transformation, but it is necessary to act according to local conditions based on the difference of entity types in the process.

This study aims to determine the impact of creative self-efficacy and green shared vision on the inclination of employees in the logistics sector to engage in green innovative behaviour. The study's population comprises 564,323 individuals employed in the logistics sector in Turkey. Information was acquired via an internet-based questionnaire. Hence, the study's sample comprises 421 individuals who were chosen from the pool of employees. The analysed data was subjected to frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, normality analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The correlation study revealed a substantial association between creative self-efficacy and green shared vision, creative self-efficacy and green innovative conduct, and green shared vision and green innovative behaviour. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was determined that creative self-efficacy and green shared vision had significant effects on green innovative behavior tendencies. According to regression analysis, creative self-efficacy was found to affect green innovative behavior tendencies more than green shared vision. Consequently, suggestions were put forward to highlight the significance of a collective environmentally friendly vision to all staff members in this particular group. This study is considered novel because there is no existing research example in the literature that evaluates the impact of creative self-efficacy and green shared vision on green innovative behaviour tendencies.
