Background
- Intensive agriculture in Vietnam's Red River Delta causes environmental degradation.
- Sustainable agriculture is crucial for the region's food security and economic growth.
- Understanding farmer decision-making is key to promoting sustainable practices.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine factors influencing farmers' intention to adopt sustainable agriculture practices.
- To apply the Theory of Planned Behavior and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling.
- To identify key drivers and barriers for sustainable agriculture adoption.
Main Methods
- Utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior.
- Employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).
- Analyzed the influence of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, age, and gender.
Main Results
- Positive significant impact of attitudes and perceived behavioral control on intention.
- Subjective norms did not significantly influence intention.
- Age negatively moderated adoption intention; older farmers are less inclined.
Conclusions
- Attitudes and perceived control are key drivers for sustainable agriculture adoption.
- Targeted interventions are needed, considering age differences.
- Policy should incentivize sustainable practices and retain youth in agriculture.

Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...
Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.
Under normal conditions, water taken up by the plant evaporates from leaves and other parts in a process called transpiration. In times of drought stress, water that evaporates by transpiration far exceeds the water absorbed from the soil, causing plants to wilt. The general plant response to drought stress is the synthesis of hormone...
Salt stress—which can be triggered by high salt concentrations in a plant’s environment—can significantly affect plant growth and crop production by influencing photosynthesis and the absorption of water and nutrients.
Plant cell cytoplasm has a high solute concentration, which causes water to flow from the soil into the plant due to osmosis. However, excess salt in the surrounding soil increases the soil solute concentration, reducing the plant’s ability to take up...
