    Many studies on the adoption of precision technologies have generally used logit models to explain the adoption behavior of individuals. This study investigates factors affecting the number of specific types of precision agriculture technologies adopted by cotton farmers. Particular attention is given to the influence of spatial yield variability on the number of precision farming technologies adopted, using a Count data estimation procedure and farm-level data.

    We present a global agricultural greenhouse gas model that assesses emissions from land-use change. In addition to evaluating shifts in and out of crop production, we develop a pasture model to assess extensification and intensification of global livestock production based on herd size and stocking rate. We apply the model to a scenario that introduces a tax on me-thane emissions from cattle in the United States. The resulting expansion of pasture in the rest of the world leads to substantially higher emissions than without the tax.

    The paper aims to study the effects of reducing pesticide use by farmers in the arable sector in Franceand the feasibility of a policy target of reducing pesticide use by half. The originality of the approachis to combine statistical data and expert knowledge to describe low-input alternative techniques at thenational level. These data are used in a mathematical programming model to simulate the effect onland use, production and farmers’ income of achieving different levels of pesticide reduction.
