有效减轻农村贫穷取决于生产力、养分、水和土壤质量之间的相互作用

Effective alleviation of rural poverty depends on the interplay between productivity, nutrients, water and soil quality

世界上大多数最贫穷的人来自农村地区，依靠当地的生态系统进行粮食生产。最近的研究强调了低土壤质量和持续贫困之间自我强化动态的重要性，但对它们如何影响扶贫却知之甚少。我们调查了家庭资产、营养物质（特别是磷）、水和土壤质量的相互交织的动态如何影响粮食生产，并确定了农村贫困人口摆脱贫困的条件。我们开发了一套动态的、多维度的家庭贫困陷阱模型，将增长的经济方面与土壤质量、水和养分流动的生态动态相结合，以分析常见的扶贫战略的有效性，如通过农业化学品投入的集约化、能源来源的多样化和保护性耕作。我们的研究结果表明，（一）农用化学品的投入可以通过降低土壤质量来加剧贫困，（二）家庭能源的多样化可以为有效应用其他战略创造可能性，（三）干预措施的顺序可以提高保护性耕作的有效性。我们的模型为基础的方法表明，经济和生态动态的相互依存关系，排除了一揽子解决方案的扶贫。这里开发的程式化模型可用于测试目标区域生物物理和经济环境下不同战略的有效性。

Using Satellite Imagery and Deep Learning to Evaluate the Impact of Anti-Poverty Programs

The rigorous evaluation of anti-poverty programs is key to the fight against global poverty. Traditional evaluation approaches rely heavily on repeated in-person field surveys to measure changes in economic well-being and thus program effects. However, this is known to be costly, time-consuming, and often logistically challenging. Here we provide the first evidence that we can conduct such program evaluations based solely on high-resolution satellite imagery and deep learning methods. Our application estimates changes in household welfare in the context of a recent anti-poverty program in rura…

Local Knowledge and Natural Resource Management in a Peasant Farming Community Facing Rapid Change: A Critical Examination

Environmental degradation is a major global problem. Its impacts are not just environmental, but also economic, with degradation recognised as a key cause of reduced agricultural productivity and rural poverty in the developing world. The degradation literature typically emphasises common property or open access natural resources, and how perverse incentives or missing institutions lead optimising private actors to degrade them. By contrast, the present paper considers degradation occurring on private farms in peasant communities. This is a critical yet delicate issue, given the poverty of suc…

Impact of Financial Inclusion on the Socio-Economic Status of Rural and Urban Households of Vulnerable Sections in Karnataka

Financial inclusion and inclusive growth are the buzzwords today. Inclusive growth empowers people belonging to vulnerable sections. This in turn depends upon a variety of factors, the most important being financial inclusion, which plays a strategic role in promoting inclusive growth and helps in reducing poverty by providing regular and reliable sources of finance to the vulnerable sections. In this direction, the Government of India in its drive for financial inclusion has taken several measures to increase the access to and availing of formal financial services by unbanked households. The …
