| Resumen: |
Adapting agricultural systems to changes in seasonal precipitation is critical for the agricultural sector in Sri Lanka. This paper presents evidence on the adoption drivers and the welfare impacts of agricultural strategies adopted by Sri Lankan rice farmers to adapt to low rainfall conditions. We estimate the causal impact of adopting different adaptive strategies across three different dimensions: (a) sensitivity to water stress, (b) household productivity, and (c) household livelihood conditions. The results highlight important trade-offs faced by farmers between reducing vulnerability to water stress and maximizing profitability and welfare outcomes. These findings are important for informing policies to support climate adaptation among smallholders, and to build and improve the climate resilience of Sri Lanka’s rice sector. |

| Resumen: |
The emerging large-scale production units (LSPUs) have become increasingly important in Chinese agricultural production and rural transformation due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Based on household and plot-level data from Jiangsu and Jiangxi Provinces in China, this study provides insights into the farming systems of these LSPUs and examines how contract type, as a proxy for land tenure security, impacts on the production unit’s soil-improving investments. Results from the two-stage control function approach show that the written nature of contracts positively affects the application of organic fertilizer and green manure on rented-in plots. Descriptive analysis also confirms the collateralization effect of contract type by showing that plots that are used as collateral for credit are characterized by written contracts. Policies facilitating LSPUs’ access to farmland with more formal contracts may therefore play an important role in improving soil quality and land productivity. |

| Resumen: |
El presente estudio analiza las diferencias tecnológicas entre dos grupos de productores de leche, familiares (PF) y con manejo empresarial (PME). Para obtener estimaciones de eficiencia técnica comparables entre los dos grupos se utiliza la metodología de meta-fronteras. Aunque los PME son técnicamente más eficientes que los PF (0.702 y 0.487, respectivamente) ambos grupos podrían obtener un mayor nivel de productividad mejorando su eficiencia técnica. Además, cada uno de los grupos opera bajo diferentes condiciones tecnológicas. El valor promedio del meta-ratio es 0.911 para los PME y 0.807 para los PF. Por lo tanto, los PME deberían invertir en nuevas tecnologías para reducir la brecha tecnológica, mientras que los PF podrían implementar las prácticas y tecnologías prevalecientes que están siendo usadas por los PME. |

| Resumen: |
The effectiveness of adaptation strategies is crucial for reducing the costs of climate change. Using plot-level data from a specifically designed survey conducted in Pakistan, we investigate the productive benefits for farmers who adapt to climate change. The impact of implementing on-farm adaptation strategies is estimated separately for two staple crops: wheat and rice. We employ propensity score matching and endogenous switching regressions to account for the possibility that farmers self-select into adaptation. Estimated productivity gains are positive and significant for rice farmers who adapted, but negligible for wheat. Counterfactual gains for non-adapters were significantly positive, which is potentially a sign of transactions costs to adaptation. Other factors associated with adaptation were formal credit and extension, underscoring the importance of addressing institutional and informational constraints that inhibit farmers from improving their farming practices. The findings provide evidence for the Pakistani Planning and Development Department’s ongoing assessment of climate-related agricultural losses. |
