This study analyses the relationships between farm income, adoption of conservation technologies and output diversification among PAES participants by comparing their performance at two points in time, 2002 and 2005, and against non-participants (control group) in 2005. The indicators reveal that the soil conservation and agroforestry component of PAES has been highly profitable. The outcome of the study shows crop diversification and soil conservation practices exhibit a strong positive association with the length of farmers' involvement with PAES and their participation in social organizations, and the positive association between conservation practices and income contrasts with the effects of conservation structures, which is negative but non-significant.

“…To account for market imperfections in the study sites, we included plot and household characteristics in the specification, which are captured as part of vector X . Our choice of explanatory variables is guided by economic theory and earlier empirical studies on adoption of farm technologies (Feder et al, 1985; Feder and Umali, 1993), analyses on agricultural production and intensification (Barrett et al, 2002; Lee and Barrett, 2000; Nkonya et al, 2008; Pender and Gebremedheni, 2007; Vosti and Reardon, 1997) and analyses on the determinants of farm income (Hill, 2000; Lopez and Valdes, 2000; Ruben and Clemens, 2000).…”

This study investigates the impact of different soil and water conservation (SWC) technologies on the variance of crop production in Ethiopia to determine the risk implications of the different technologies in different regions and rainfall zones. Given the production risks posed by climate change, such information can be used by decision makers to identify appropriate agricultural practices that act as a buffer against climate change. Results show that SWC investments perform differently in different rainfall areas and regions of Ethiopia and that the effectiveness of technologies such as irrigation, fertilizer, and improved seeds often depends on whether these investments are coupled with SWC measures. These results underscore the importance of the selection of appropriate combinations of technologies and careful geographical targeting when promoting and scaling up SWC technologies for adaptation to climate change.JEL classifications: D1, O13, O18, Q12, Q15

Food and agriculture are playing key roles for many of the global challenges such as poverty, under-nutrition, obesity, climate change, and biodiversity loss which impacts the health of the population of the country thus also impacts the economy of both developed and developing countries differently. Many changes are already implemented from food production to consumptions from various sectors but the efforts are still not enough and in infancy. The food system is a complicated network of tasks involving various steps from production, to consumption. The food system includes other factors of sociological factors like governance, the economics of food production, culture, health, sustainability, and its effect on the natural environment. This research paper will propose the primary changes required in the food system, policies, and dietary perspective to construct an integrated methodology of intervention, after evaluating web of interconnected different indicator variable and analyzing the previous methods of intervention responsible for food sustainability directly and indirect, at two different levels local and global. I will address the root cause of a problem in food system which impacts the health which includes various sectors such as socially, economically and politically channel at various levels in the food system to help the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Apart from this, the study also evaluates the economical burden from health issues resulting from the failing food system in developed and developing countries
