“…Regularly, poverty is rated on a scale from worst to best. For example, one could measure the family's income or spending in current units to determine whether or not the family is poor (Emeru, 2022;Mehedi et al, 2020). The poverty line is the income level above which a family is no longer considered poor by the country's economic standards.…”

This study aimed to examine microfinance's role in providing essential services to economically disadvantaged people in the aftermath of natural disasters. A study of 300 people who use microfinance was carried out in the tehsil of Taunsa, located in the district of Dera Ghazi Khan. In 2022, information was gathered from microfinance institution customers impacted by flooding. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not microfinance helped them meet their basic needs during the natural disaster. The data was analyzed using the 21st edition of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The most important findings from this study were that most microfinance users were men; however, slightly more than one-third of microfinance users were females. This is an important finding because, in a natural disaster, financial assistance is provided to female-headed families so their basic needs can be met. The vast majority of those polled owned their homes, most of which were flooded. The findings of this study suggested that neither the government nor microfinance institutions provide significant assistance to disaster victims in their efforts to recover. According to preliminary findings from this study, low-income families facing difficult circumstances during or after a disaster are more likely to rely on themselves and the coping mechanisms provided by their communities than on any public or private assistance. According to the findings, policy interventions aimed at reducing flood losses and assisting improvement should consider the shifting risk profile that impoverished people face when it comes to natural disasters.

“…On the one hand, some studies related to the institutional framework of farmers discuss the formalization of agricultural activities (Escandón-Barbosa et al, 2019;Terrazas et al, 2019). On the other hand, the government supports that farmers receive for belonging to this sector is studied (Mehedi et al, 2020;Negash et al, 2019). There are different stances, studies such as (Lang & Fink, 2019) review entrepreneurial capacities from the theory of social capital considering the impact of institutional pressures.…”

Purpose: This study focuses on analyzing the institutional context and collaborative networks affecting farmers’ entrepreneurial capacity in Mexico. Originality/value: Both the institutional framework and collaborative networks are part of the environment faced by the farmer and empower them to decide about their business, being decisive elements to generate confidence in the environment and reduce the risk of assuming economic responsibilities Design/methodology/approach: We incorporate the moderating effect of the institutional context considering its influence on collaboration networks. The statistical technique of structural equation models was used to test the hypotheses. The sample comprised 192 farmers from the state of Aguascalientes, Mexico. Findings: The results showed significant and positive effects of institutional pillars and collaborative networks on the capacity to undertake. Regarding the non-significant effects of the institutional context as a moderating variable, further research is suggested to review the relationship of institutional pillars with collaboration networks and their possible negative relationship. Institutional pillars represent the perception of the social structure relevant to measuring society’s position regarding the capacities, in this case, of rural entrepreneurship, especially when making public policies. The impact of current government actions on the commercial activity should be considered. Subsequently, public policies must have a practical application by the legal framework and the formation of an environment of certainty based on the normative and cognitive pillars of the institutional context.

Regardless of major advancements in food production, Asia continues to confront severe food security challenges. Sustainable agriculture presents entirely new prospects by prioritizing the productive worth of human, social, and natural capital—all of which are abundant in Asian nations or can be replenished at a relatively low financial expense. This paper sets out to explore the role of technological innovation, renewable energy use, financial development, globalization, and institutional quality on the environmental sustainability of agriculture, measured by the greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector for top 10 agricultural economies of Asia from 1990 to 2019. To attain the above objective, we employ a variety of econometric models capable of accounting for cross‐sectional dependence, including the CS‐ARDL model and the Dumitrescu‐Hurlin Panel Granger Causality tests. The result indicates that technological innovation as well as the use of renewable energy can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector and thus contribute towards enhancing environmental performance of this sector in short and long run. Although globalization result is revealed to be positive, it turns out to be insignificant in both short and long run. Financial development exerts positive and significant effects on agricultural emissions while the institutional quality is found to be increasing the agricultural environmental performance. Finally, we provide policy recommendations based on the results of the study.
