“…Pinto et al [37] pointed out that the driving forces-pressures-state-impacts-responses (DPSIR) model has been widely used to study the processes of interaction between socioenvironmental systems. Examples of the applicability of this approach include studies on ecosystem services [38], sustainability indicators [39], land degradation and desertification [40], remediation of contaminated sites [41], and agricultural policies [42]. Other studies focused on water use and quality [43], addressing issues such as the integration of spatial and social characteristics for sustainable watershed management [44]; the restoration of urban streams and wetlands [45]; the study of blue carbon in ecosystems [46]; the relationship between climate change, environment, and livelihoods in watersheds [47]; the study of freshwater ecosystems [48]; and the assessment of ecological security risks in watersheds [49].…”

With increasing urbanization and industrialization, soil and forest resources are facing considerable pressure, as well as the demand for water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities. Therefore, it is essential to conduct regular assessments of water quality and ensure that water is consistently maintained in the context of ecosystem services (ESs). Our objective was to apply the driving forces–pressures–state–impacts–responses (DPSIR) model to understand the cause–effect relationships and interactions with anthropogenic pressures on deforestation and water quality in the Talgua River watershed and associated valley and plain areas in central-eastern Honduras. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses were conducted to determine the water quality index (NSF–WQI) and other contamination indexes. The results identified high contamination by coliforms, up to 920.00 NPM/100 mL, and high levels of contamination by organic matter (ICOMO, 0.65), solids (ICOSUS, 0.79), mineralization (ICOMI, 0.99), and the presence of bacteria (BPI, 8.50), as well as the development of eutrophication processes (ICOTRO), resulting in generally low water quality. These problems were caused by the socio-demographic and economic growth of the area, as well as the high demand for water, vulnerability to climate change, and intense agro-livestock and industrial activity, which led to deforestation processes, changes in land use, and contamination of natural water bodies that impacted the overexploitation of aquifers. After applying the DPSIR model, strategies are proposed for the management and administration of the watershed aimed at preserving the water, soils, and forest resources, while promoting stakeholder, business, education sector, and public administration participation.

“…Wheat crop was targeted by one of the most common crops that are directly affected by most of the legislation and government laws relating to the agricultural sector, such as determining the agricultural plan and receiving and marketing. Many studies have dealt with this topic and in various disciplines, and it has been possible to find part of it, namely [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

The research aimed to analyze the factors affecting the organization and cultivation of the wheat crop in Iraq by using one of the appropriate econometric analysis methods for this type of research, which is the logistic regression, through which it is possible to know the results of the application of agricultural legislation and the variables affecting compliance with those legislation as well as knowing the role of agricultural legislation in supporting policy steps agriculture in Iraq. The results showed that among the model variables, there was a set of factors described as the most influential on the farmer’s decision to adhere to the government agricultural plan, including the variable delay in receiving marketing amounts and the variable providing loans, as well as the variable value of the returns achieved in the presence of government support in favour of adhering to the agricultural plan. As for the farmers’ decision to market their crops to the state, it was found that the most influential variables were the commitment to the agricultural plan, the state’s selling price variable, and the total area. The research concluded that paying attention to the aspect of financing and providing agricultural loans to farmers will lead to farmers getting rid of the financial restrictions imposed on them by the private sector, and thus increasing the likelihood of their commitment to implementing agricultural legislation. Also, the continued provision of government support, especially in the aspect of output, will lead to an improvement in the level of farm income for farmers, which makes them needless to search for other means to obtain income and thus comply with the government legislation drawn up. The research recommended the need to work on improving the reality of agricultural crop production by providing government support for the use of modern technologies to increase production rates per unit area and achieve greater returns for farmers. As well as the need for a strict supervisory body working to ensure that farmers do not violate the government legislation imposed in order to regulate production and develop the agricultural sector.

“…The area of vegetable fruit and ower farmland with high nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient consumption was still increasing signi cantly in many areas, making it more di cult to control river basin pollution in the future [4]. Liu et al (2022) pointed out that source control of different types of non-point source pollution sources should be established as soon as possible in river basins with serious water pollution and areas with high pollution risk according to the current situation in China. Based on the need for water source protection, local climate, hydrogeology, and terrain should be taken into consideration in farmland soil conditions, reasonable delineation of water source protection zones at all levels in the basin, and the corresponding restrictive agricultural production technical standards should be formulated and tried out.…”

“…The authors suggested that the green box policy should be piloted in quali ed areas. Besides, farmers should be encouraged and promoted to widely adopt alternative technologies and production models that protect the environment to improve the utilization rate of agricultural resources and promote the upgrading of agricultural technologies [5].…”

This work aims to promote the concept of green development of agriculture and the sustainable development of China’s agriculture. First, the application concept of digital technology is expounded. Then, the basic idea of the fuzzy system is discussed. Finally, the composition and development of China’s green agricultural total factor productivity (ATFP) are analyzed, and the green ATFP model is constructed. The results demonstrate that the current agricultural development mainly depends on labor force and resources, and the transformation of labor force structure is an essential factor affecting the agricultural development. The agricultural labor force especially changes to feminization, aging, and urbanization, resulting in a severe shortage of agricultural labor force and retardation in agricultural development. In addition, this work builds the theoretical framework of green ATFP based on the guidance of digital technology and fuzzy system. The evaluation results indicate that the contribution rate of each index drops significantly under the green ATFP model, and the highest contribution rate is around 1.23. It can be seen that the current measures of China’s green agricultural total elements are not perfect, the development of China’s agriculture is not sufficient, and the emphasis on the environment is not high enough. The research reported here provides a reference for promoting the development of agriculture and contributes to the green development of agriculture in China.
