“…First, we analyze a comprehensive set of food and nutrient products at a disaggregate level. Most quantitative reviews of food demand elasticities focused only on calories [27,28] or only on food [4,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Most of these previous meta-analyses focused on a small number of products or products at a more aggregate level than our study.…”

Estimating food- and nutrient-income elasticities is important for making food and nutrition policies to combat malnutrition. There are many studies that have estimated the relationship between income growth and food/nutrient demand in China, but the results are highly heterogeneous. We conducted a meta-analysis in China to systematically review the elasticity of food, calories, and other nutrients to income. We considered a meta-sample using a collection of 64 primary studies covering 1537 food-income elasticities, 153 nutrient-income elasticities, and 147 calorie-income elasticity estimates. There are significant differences in the size of the income elasticities across food and nutrient groups. We found that food- and calorie-income elasticity appear to decline as per capita income increases, except for vitamin and aquatic products. We also found a publication bias for food and calories, and in particular, the study attributes may be important, as they can influence estimates. Given the limited study on nutrient-income elasticity, understanding the impact of income changes on nutrient intake is an important direction worthy of further research.

“…Farmers are more conscious about the role that environmental practices play in mitigating climate constraints, namely through biodiversity, renewable energy, and decreasing carbon dioxide emissions (Marzban et al, 2016). Environmental‐orientated farmers are not only investing in more efficient technologies (Sippel, 2016) but also implementing the technologies more adapted to particular Climatic conditions, which attenuates the climatic impacts on plants and improves performance (Santos‐Montero et al, 2020). Hypothesis Environmental Sustainability Orientation mediates the association between Natural Resources (Land size, Water availability, Climatic conditions) and (a) Environmental Performance; and (b) Financial Performance .…”

It is still unclear how the natural environment influences the firm's performance. It is needed to understand how business activities that strongly depend on natural resources, as it is agriculture, manage their scarcity and uncertainty. Based on a sample of 150 small agricultural businesses, hierarchical regression was used to analyze how entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and environmental sustainability orientation (ESO) can shape the influence of natural resources on environmental performance (EP) and financial performance (FP). Supported by the Natural Resource-Dependence Theory (NRDT), our study found that natural resources availability is determinant for FP. At the same time, EP depends on Land but not on water and climatic conditions.The results also support the resource-based view (RBV), since EO and ESO are mediators in the association between natural resources and FP, representing powerful internal responses to agricultural businesses face the natural environment constraints.

“…Natural resource management (NRM) interventions are considered to be promising to address these challenges and to strengthen rural economy as about 70% population in rainfed ecologies are dependent on agriculture and allied sectors (Rockstrom and Falkenmark, 2015;Singh, 2017;Santos-Montero et al, 2020;Tamagnone et al, 2020;Garg et al, 2020a,b). Number of countries have designed public welfare programs [e.g., Integrated watershed management (IWMP) and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in India; Sustainable Land Management Program (SLMP) in Ethiopia, etc.…”
