Professor Christopher Gomez and an international research team have published "a really cool piece of" research on grain production sustainability in 'Socio-Economic Planning Sciences' (Impact Factor: 6.82).
The study examines grain production eco-efficiency in China's Yellow River Basin, analyzing how rural land management policies influence sustainable agricultural practices across 53 cities over two decades (2000-2021).
Using an innovative hybrid analytical framework, the research reveals significant spatial and temporal variations in agricultural efficiency and demonstrates that rural land policies affect grain production through two key mechanisms: technology utilization and land scale management. The findings emphasize the critical need for region-specific policy interventions to promote environmentally sustainable agricultural development, with important implications for global food security in the face of climate change.
