摘要
Urban expansion often takes place on the most productive agricultural lands, affecting how the remaining agricultural land is used. Evidence on the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in urbanizing areas is scarce and mostly based on cross-sectional data. Cross-sectional studies, however, cannot reflect the dynamics of urbanization and adoption. We use household panel data from 2017 and 2020 to analyze the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices among peri-urban farmers in Bangalore, India, a rapidly urbanizing region. We focus on practices for water and erosion management, integrated pest management and soil fertility management, and an integrated package of sustainable practices. Using random effects probit models with the Mundlak approach, we consider various factors besides urbanization, including exposure to weather variability, awareness of climate change, connection with institutional actors, and household and farm characteristics. Results show that urbanization, measured as changes in the percentage of built-up area, reduces the probability that farmers adopt sustainable agricultural practices. Like prior studies, we find that wealth indicators, market access, knowledge of climate change, and rainfall variability facilitate adoption. However, contact with institutional actors largely reduces farmers' probability of adoption. Policies should promote the integration of sustainable farming technologies at the institutional level and in information and training programs to achieve sustainable intensification of peri-urban agriculture. L'expansion urbaine a souvent lieu sur les terres agricoles les plus productives, ce qui affecte la facon dont les terres agricoles restantes sont utilisees. Les preuves de l'adoption de pratiques agricoles durables dans les zones urbanisees sont rares et reposent principalement sur des donnees transversales. Toutefois, les etudes transversales ne peuvent pas refleter la dynamique de l'urbanisation et de l'adoption. Nous utilisons des donnees de panel de menages de 2017 et 2020 pour analyser l'adoption de pratiques agricoles durables parmi les agriculteurs periurbains de Bangalore, en Inde, une region a urbanisation rapide. Nous nous concentrons sur les pratiques de gestion de l'eau et de l'erosion, la lutte integree contre les ravageurs et la gestion de la fertilite des sols, ainsi que sur un ensemble integre de pratiques durables. En utilisant des modeles probit a effets aleatoires avec l'approche Mundlak, nous prenons en compte divers facteurs autres que l'urbanisation, notamment l'exposition a la variabilite meteorologique, la conscience du changement climatique, les liens avec les acteurs institutionnels et les caracteristiques des menages et des exploitations agricoles. Les resultats montrent que l'urbanisation, mesuree par les changements dans le pourcentage de zone batie, reduit la probabilite que les agriculteurs adoptent des pratiques agricoles durables. A l'instar d'etudes anterieures, nous constatons que les indicateurs de richesse, l'acces aux marches, la connaissance du changement climatique et la variabilite des precipitations facilitent l'adoption. Cependant, le contact avec les acteurs institutionnels reduit largement la probabilite d'adoption par les agriculteurs. Les politiques devraient promouvoir l'integration de technologies agricoles durables au niveau institutionnel et dans les programmes d'information et de formation pour parvenir a une intensification durable de l'agriculture periurbaine.
