Öğe Determination of Olive Oil Market Segmentation with Conjoint Analysis(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2025) Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Agizan, Kemalettin; Candemir, SerhanChanging living conditions in the world have led to a transformation in consumption habits. It can be said that some factors that are thought to be effective on consumption are also affected by this. Therefore, it is inevitable to evaluate the determinants of the consumption dimension as a dynamic process. In this study, important factors in olive oil consumption preference were analyzed by conjoint analysis. The research was conducted throughout T & uuml;rkiye. Accordingly, it was determined that the most important factor in olive oil preference is the place where olive oil is purchased. This is followed by quality, packaging, price, and color. As a result, it can be said that olive oil purchased directly from the producer is preferred in the first place based on the idea that the olive oil purchased should be safe or natural, rather than the idea that price is perceptually decisive in consumer preference. When the preference characteristics are combined, it can be stated that the most preferred criterion is olive oil with a price of $9/lt, cold pressed, glass packaged, light colored, and sold directly by the producer. It can be suggested as a correct approach that the actors who make market organizations should take these criteria into consideration and turn to the appropriate organization at every stage of the supply chain.Öğe Energy Use and Carbon Emissions of Walnut Production in Türkiye(Springer, 2024) Candemir, Serhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Dogan, Hasan Goekhan; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Akdogan, AhmetThe objective of this study is to investigate the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions associated with walnut production. The research will provide valuable insights into the environmental impact of walnut production. The study was conducted during the 2020-2021 agricultural season in Kahramanmara & scedil; province of T & uuml;rkiye. The study findings revealed that the energy required for walnut production includes 29,193 MJha-1 (50.53%) of pesticide, 11,533 MJha-1 (19.96%) of machinery, 9443 MJha-1 (16.35%) of fertiliser, 3675 MJha-1 (6.36%) of diesel, 1249 MJha-1 (2.16%) of electricity, and 1163 MJha-1 (2.01%) of farm manure energy. The total energy input and output were 57,772 MJha-1 and 109,444 MJha-1, respectively. The total carbon emissions from walnut production were calculated to be 2242.23 kgCO2-eqkg-1. Of all emission sources, the use of machinery was to have the highest contribution with 56.91%.Öğe Energy Use and Carbon Emissions of Walnut Production in Turkiye (vol 66, pg 1347, 2024)(Springer, 2026) Candemir, Serhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Akdogan, Ahmet[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Energy Use and Emission Efficiency in White Cherry Production: Evidence from Türkiye(Springer, 2026) Bozdemir Akcil, Merve; Candemir, Serhan; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, ZekiWhite cherry fruit is grown primarily in Konya Province's Ere & gbreve;li District. The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy usage, energy efficiency and greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by white cherry fruit in Konya's Ere & gbreve;li District. The data utilized within this study were collected through surveys with 30 growers during the 2025 production season; therefore, the survey data were analyzed in terms of the energy equivalencies and carbon emission factors of the inputs involved in the white cherry fruit production process. Energy usage efficiency was determined to be 4.01 MJ/ha and 45,618.31 MJ/ha. Additionally, the energy productivity, specific energy, and net energy usage per hectare were determined to be 1.37 kg/MJ, 0.80 MJ/kg, and 45,427.04 MJ/ha, respectively. The largest proportions of energy usage were in the form of chemical fertilizers at 37.73%, and electrical energy at 34.87%. Thus, the energy usage due to chemical fertilizers and electrical energy accounted for approximately two-thirds of the total energy utilization. The total GHG emissions associated with white cherry fruit production were 1185.74 kg CO2-eq/ha. A product-based GHG emission value of 0.06 kg CO2-eq/kg was also estimated. In addition, it was estimated that the majority (> 80%) of the electrical energy consumed was from non-renewable energy sources. Approximately 84.6% of the energy usage comprised non-renewable energy sources, while 15.4% comprised renewable energy sources. These results indicate a positive energy balance in white cherry fruit production; however, an increase in renewable energy usage would result in sustainable development in this area. In order to decrease both energy expenses and the carbon footprint of the white cherry fruit production system, growers could utilize energy efficient irrigation systems and solar power. The usage of nitrogen fertilizer should be optimized to minimize the carbon footprint.Öğe Energy Use and GHG Emissions in Olive Production: A Comparison of Irrigated and Rainfall Conditions(Springer, 2025) Bayramoglu, Zeki; Candemir, Serhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Dogan, Hasan GoekhanThe objective of this study was to examine the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with olive production under both irrigated and rainfall conditions. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the environmental impacts of olive production. The study was conducted in the province of Kahramanmara & scedil; during the 2020-2021 agricultural production season. The study findings indicate that the total input energy required for olive production under irrigated and rainfall conditions is 174,331.3 MJ ha-1 and 129,115.55 MJ ha-1, respectively. In olive production, the primary energy input under irrigated conditions was chemical fertilizer (38.67%), while the primary energy input under rainfall conditions was diesel fuel (38.59%). The total energy output in olive production under irrigated and rainfall conditions was calculated as 41,534.83 MJ ha-1 and 29,710.55 MJ ha-1, respectively. The GHG emissions per kilogram in olive production were calculated as 0.24 kg CO2 for 1 kg of olives produced under irrigated conditions and 0.20 kg CO2 for 1 kg of olives produced under rainfall conditions.Öğe Energy Use Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Almond Production: Evidence from Konya Province, Türkiye(Springer, 2026) Bozdemir Akcil, Merve; Candemir, Serhan; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, ZekiThis study aimed to determine the energy efficiency in almond production in T & uuml;rkiye, the structure of energy inputs, and the greenhouse gas (GHG) implications, and to evaluate the sustainability of the production system and identify areas for improvement. This study was conducted in Konya Province, one of the most important almond-growing regions in T & uuml;rkiye; data were obtained from primary sources through face-to-face surveys of 50 producers in Ere & gbreve;li during the 2025 season. The energy inputs and outputs were calculated using coefficients, and GHG emissions were estimated using emission factors, thereby enabling assessment of the main energy indicators, such as energy use efficiency (EUE), specific energy (SE), energy productivity (EP), and net energy (NE). The results of the study showed that the total energy input and total output were 36,081.25 MJ ha-1 and 21,036.57 MJ ha-1, respectively, and the EUE was calculated as 0.59, which shows that the production system is highly energy-intensive. Machinery, pesticides, electricity, and diesel were the highest energy inputs, indicating that the system depends on these inputs; consequently, the contribution of renewable energy sources to energy use was very limited. The net energy was negative, indicating the poor energy performance of the system, and total GHG emissions were 1806.6 kg CO2-eq ha-1, while electricity had the highest share of over 80% in GHG emissions. The emission intensity was 5.2 kg CO2-eq ha-1 of output, and therefore, the findings suggest that there are three priority areas for improving energy and environmental outcomes in almond production in T & uuml;rkiye: improving irrigation efficiency, optimizing nitrogen management, and increasing the share of renewable energy sources.Öğe Energy Use Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Plum (Prunus domestica L.) Production: Evidence from Central Türkiye(Springer, 2026) Bozdemir Akcil, Merve; Candemir, Serhan; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, ZekiThis research sought to study the amount of energy and the amount of greenhouse gas released in the plum growing in Ak & scedil;ehir, a district of Konya. The information was obtained from the farmers mentioned above, by means of questionnaires which were filled up during a part of the 2025 harvest. In order to ascertain the energy and emission values of all inputs, standard references available to workers in agricultural investigations were used. Total energy input was found to be 10,441.48 megajoules per hectare, while total energy output was 26,127.53 megajoules per hectare. This means that for one unit of energy put in, there is about 2.53 units received. Nearly one half of all energy used is in the form of electricity, which also has the greatest potential effect on the general appearance of the farm from the point of view of its energy economy. The total amount of greenhouse gases evolved was estimated to be about 1217 kg per hectare, in terms of equivalent CO, of which about three-fourths come from the use of electric energy. These results show that there is an efficient use of energy in the growing of plums in this region, but that it is rather limited in its possibilities for improvement in environmental quality on account of the rare use of renewable energy. The greatest possibilities for use of this renewable energy lies in the way of increased use of solar energy for irrigation and from the use of machinery that is more economical in energy used for that purpose. The general effect of this would be a decrease in cost of production which would mean greater opportunity for agricultural enterprise and at the same time an improved quality of the farm from the point of view of it being more happily located in a less polluted environment.Öğe Energy Use Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) Production Systems in Türkiye(Springer, 2026) Candemir, Serhan; Akcil, Merve Bozdemir; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, ZekiThe purpose of this study was to establish whether sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) production is a sustainable practice through determining the energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by the process. Data for the study were collected using personal interviews with thirty-nine (39) farmers who grow sour cherries. The total amount of energy used (total energy input) and energy produced (total energy output) were found to be 13,652.01 MJ/ha-1 and 43,906.43 MJ/ha-1, respectively. The energy use efficiency of the sour cherry production system was determined to be 3.26; the specific energy use were 0.94 MJ/kg; the energy productivity was 1.11 kg/MJ; and the net energy use was 30,254.42 MJ/ha. The direct energy use and indirect energy use of the sour cherry production system were determined to be 45.72% and 54.28%, respectively; and the renewable and non-renewable energy use were determined to be 5.18% and 94.82%, respectively. The total amount of GHG emissions associated with the sour cherry production system was estimated to be 1367.81 kg CO2-eq/ha, and the emission intensity of the sour cherry production system was estimated to be 0.09 kg CO2-eq/kg. The fertilizer use was the largest contributor to both the total amount of energy used in the sour cherry production system and the total GHG emissions of the sour cherry production system. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that sour cherry production systems are operating beyond the energy break-even point; however, they are also reliant upon non-renewable inputs. Therefore, improving the fertilizer use efficiency and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources will improve both the environmental and economic sustainability of sour cherry cultivation.Öğe Evaluating Energy Efficiency and Carbon Emissions in Banana Cultivation: the Case of Antalya Province in Türkiye(Springer, 2025) Candemir, Serhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Bayramoglu, ZekiThe aim of this study is to determine the energy efficiency of banana production and the carbon emissions during the production process. For this purpose, a survey study was conducted in Antalya Province, T & uuml;rkiye, in the 2021-2022 agricultural production season. Within the scope of the survey study, the input elements and technical coefficients of banana producers were recorded, and the primary data of the study were collected. The research results revealed that a total of 69,045.29 MJ ha-1 energy input was used in banana production. It was calculated that the total energy input originated from 57,228.45 MJha-1 (82.89%) nitrogenous fertilizer, 5301.59 MJha-1 (7.68%) diesel input, 2147.54 MJha-1 (3.11%) machinery use, 1923.94 MJha-1 (2.79%) labor, and 1258.76 MJha-1 (1.82%) pesticide use. In total, 97.17% of the energy input is provided from non-renewable energy sources, and this result is a risk factor in terms of the sustainability of agriculture. The total carbon emission from banana production was calculated as 2371.23 kg CO2-eq for the entire production, and 0.047 kg CO2-eq per kilogram of banana. It was determined that 40.2% of the total emission was caused by nitrogenous fertilizers, 29.0% by labor, and 11.0% by diesel use. The research findings reveal that fertilization is the most important input in both energy use and carbon emissions. For the sustainability of agricultural production, it is suggested that technical norms be taken into consideration in chemical fertilizer applications and that monitoring processes be developed. In addition, directing efforts toward more environmentally friendly alternatives that can be equivalent to chemical fertilizers can be considered a solution.Öğe From Intentions to Sustainable Actions: Behavioral Drivers of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Agriculture(Wiley, 2025) Ganiyusufoglu, Ali; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Mirza, Emel; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Edirneligil, Aysen; Candemir, SerhanIn the face of climate-related challenges in agricultural production, understanding farmers' decision processes regarding adaptation and mitigation strategies has become increasingly critical. There are numerous papers examining these behaviors across diverse geographic regions and socioeconomic contexts. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the adaptation and mitigation behaviors of farmers in T & uuml;rkiye. Therefore, this paper focuses on Konya-a major agricultural center in T & uuml;rkiye-and collects data from farmers in the region through a questionnaire survey. The research aims to explain their behaviors concerning climate change through the lens of different behavioral theories-specifically, theory of planned behavior (TPB), extended TPB by personal norms, and values-identity-personal norm (VIP) theory in a comparative manner. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is employed to quantitatively analyze key psychological, moral, and identity-driven determinants of pro-environmental behaviors. Findings confirm the explanatory power of TPB constructs while personal norms emerge as critical drivers of mitigation behaviors with the extended TPB model. The VIP model further expands the analysis by integrating altruistic, egoistic, and biospheric values alongside environmental self-identity. This demonstrates that values and identity strongly influence personal norms and related behaviors. This paper not only fills a geographic gap by focusing on T & uuml;rkiye but also offers practical insights for designing policies and interventions that enhance the adaptive and mitigating capacities of behavioral frameworks from a comparative perspective. In practice, our findings suggest that sustainable development policies, publications, and rural development programs are most effective when they mitigate skill constraints through access to technology and timely training while simultaneously strengthening personal norms and environmental self-identity. Thus, the intention becomes sustainable adaptation and mitigation.Öğe Game-theoretic DEA optimization for sustainable agricultural carbon trading: Evidence from Türkiye's maize production(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Hamidoglu, Ali; Candemir, Serhan; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Kadry, SeifedineEffective agricultural carbon policy requires reliable monitoring and frameworks that consider efficiency, welfare, and adoption. Although monitoring systems are typically stronger in developed countries, they are costly to maintain, whereas in developing countries they are often limited or insufficient. We hypothesize that a performance-based carbon policy integrated with welfare and farm decision behavior improves suitability for heterogeneous agricultural settings under limited emissions data. This paper proposes a Forward-Looking Cooperative Cap-and-Trade Carbon Pricing (FCTCP), policy that assesses farms' carbon performance using carbon-equivalent resource, operational, and agrochemical inputs instead of direct carbon emission data, while integrating farm-level decision-making, cooperative carbon trading, and a welfare indicator aligned with emission performance. In this framework, farms are classified using Data Envelopment Analysis into efficient, near-efficient, and inefficient categories, and their policy participation is modeled through a cooperative Nash game. Nonlinear strategic interactions are solved using a hybrid optimization scheme consisting of four metaheuristic algorithms, including Particle Swarm Optimization, Artificial Bee Colony, Grey Wolf Optimizer, and Genetic Algorithm, and a nonlinear quasi-Newton optimization method, L-BFGS-B, to identify robust Nash equilibria. A case study of 104 maize farms in T & uuml;rkiye shows green welfare improvements of 9.65% for near-efficient farms and 15.23% for inefficient farms while achieving the low-carbon benchmark. Key determinants of adoption include efficiency-based caps, asymmetric trading rules, and carbon exchange without discounting. The results demonstrate that FCTCP is a practical, welfare-linked, and forward-looking policy mechanism capable of guiding early-stage carbon transitions in agricultural systems lacking mature carbon monitoring infrastructure.Öğe Long-term effects of some determinants in the agricultural sector on CO2 emissions: Panel data analysis by income groups of world countries(United Arab Emirates Univ, 2024) Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Candemir, Serhan; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Agizan, KemalettinClimate change is defined as one of the biggest problems of the third millennium. All countries in the world are striving to produce policies on this issue and achieve a common consensus. Regulations are being made in various sectors and efforts are continuing to adopt ecofriendly production techniques. Just as climate change affects all sectors, it is also affected by the production activities of the sectors. One of these sectors is the agricultural sector. Inputs and production techniques used in agriculture create direct environmental costs. The production techniques used by countries depending on their income level and development level contribute to the climate change process to a certain extent. In this research, the effects of the inputs used in agricultural production on CO2 emissions according to the income levels of the countries of the world were investigated by panel data analysis. According to the results obtained, the effect of the arable land size of low and low-middle income group countries, the pesticides they use in agriculture, the animal fertilizers they use in agricultural production, the CO2 level released from the energy they use in agriculture, and the effect of their agricultural nitrogen use on the total CO2 level is statistically significant. While the effect of pesticide uses and the amount of nitrogen used in agriculture by middle-high income countries is statistically significant, it can be said that the amounts of pesticides used by high-income countries in agriculture, animal fertilizers used in agricultural production, the level of CO2 released from the energy they use in agriculture and their use of agricultural nitrogen are statistically significant. While the results obtained reveal the relationship between the amount used and CO2 emissions, they also indicate that the inputs used can be quality and environmentally friendly inputs. In classical suggestions, suggestions are made such as controlling input levels and preventing excessive use. However, the increasing world population and the resulting increase in nutritional needs emphasize the importance of optimal input use in agricultural production. It makes it important that qualitative, ecofriendly and effective inputs should be used rather than input usage possibilities and quantity-dimensional control.Öğe Long-term interactions among food prices, exchange rate and household real income in Türkiye(United Arab Emirates Univ, 2025) Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Candemir, SerhanFood inflation can be expressed as an increase in the general level of food prices in a certain period. The rate of food inflation in the total inflation in T & uuml;rkiye can be expressed as 25%. While food price increases directly affect inflation, they also exert great pressure on low-income households. In particular, the COVID-19 process and panic-induced demand shocks after the Russia-Ukraine war, sudden changes in monetary policies, and disruptions in the supply chain were directly reflected in food prices. Considering that exchange rate increases and inflation increases occur all over the world, examining the current situation quantitatively is considered important in terms of food inflation and access to food. In this study, the interactions between the real disposable income of households, food inflation, and the dollar exchange rate in T & uuml;rkiye between 2006 and 2022 were examined. According to the results obtained with the help of time series analysis, the increase in food inflation had a negative effect on disposable real income, whereas the dollar exchange rate had a positive effect. In the fight against food inflation, increasing the supply through productivity increases in agricultural production, adopting subsidies that will minimize costs in agriculture and agriculture-related sectors as state policy, ensuring the sustainability of all departments connected to the food supply chain, and introducing new approaches in inflation fight strategies according to income groups are medium and long term solutions. This will contribute to the economic welfare of households and to the economic growth process based on effective demand.Öğe Reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions through ınput optimization in Türkiye(Springer, 2024) Candemir, Serhan; Agizan, Kemalettin; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Dogan, Hasan GokhanThe relationship between agricultural production and climate change is bidirectional. As a production activity contingent on climatic conditions, it is the sector most susceptible to fluctuations in climate. However, the sector also contributes to climate change through the generation of energy and the release of carbon emissions associated with production activities. At present, carbon emissions from agricultural production constitute 24% of the total carbon emissions. It is of the utmost importance to reduce the use of fossil fuels and chemicals in agricultural production systems in order to mitigate the effects of global climate change. In order to achieve this, it is essential that agricultural production optimizes inputs without compromising food security. The principal objective of this study is to present an alternative method for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by optimizing inputs in sunflower production in Konya province, Turkey. The study analyses the changes in energy use and carbon emissions resulting from optimized input use according to the technical efficiency levels of the enterprises, while maintaining a constant yield. This is achieved by optimizing the inputs used in sunflower production. The results demonstrate 3.16% reduction in energy consumption and approximately 3.68% reduction in carbon emissions in comparison to the current input utilization composition. Upon examination of the technical efficiency levels of the enterprises, it is evident that optimizing the input utilization combinations of those with lower technical efficiency levels results in 7.94% energy savings and a 9.03% reduction in carbon emissions. The results of this study will contribute to the reduction of environmental impacts and the spread of sustainable agricultural practices by optimizing energy consumption and carbon emissions from agricultural production.Öğe The analysis of producers' technology investment intentions within the framework of extended theory of planned behavior(Elsevier, 2025) Mirza, Emel; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Candemir, Serhan; Ganiyusufoglu, Ali; Edirneligil, AysenThis study is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and expands this main framework by including the constructs of education, knowledge acquisition and access to financial resources. In this study conducted on 270 farmers in Konya -an important agricultural region of Turkey-, a stratified sampling design was employed with a survey instrument adapted from previously validated measurements. Robust reliability and validity were confirmed for constructs related to attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, knowledge acquisition and access to financial resources through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling approach. The results obtained show that attitude, subjective norms and knowledge acquisition significantly increase the perceived behavioral control of farmers. On the other hand, there is an indirect relationship between perceived behavioral control and technology investment intention through the access to finance, which indicates that access to financial resources emerges as a pivotal factor determining technological investment intentions. These results imply that it is important to improve the farmers' financial capacity and information support to promote technology adoption. In this context, policy makers and agencies working in the field of agricultural development need to spearhead the process of the financial barriers and knowledge resources, by first selecting credit facilities, providing government subsidies and later knowledge transfer.Öğe Toward Sustainable Input Pricing in Agriculture: The Sectoral Impact of Asymmetric Monetary Policy in Türkiye(Wiley, 2026) Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Mirza, Emel; Ganiyusufoglu, Ali; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Candemir, Serhan; Edirneligil, AysenThis study investigates the asymmetric effects of monetary policy instruments on agricultural input prices in T & uuml;rkiye, a developing economy. Using monthly data from 2015 to 2024, the analysis focuses on key variables including the exchange rate, consumer price index (CPI), policy rate, reserve requirement ratio, and rediscount rate. Asymmetric fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and impulse-response analyses reveal that positive exchange rate shocks significantly and persistently increase input costs, highlighting the sector's import dependence and vulnerability. Inflation and policy rate hikes also raise costs, but declines in these variables do not produce equally strong reductions-indicating asymmetric effects. Similar patterns are observed for other monetary tools. The findings emphasize that both the direction and magnitude of macroeconomic shocks matter for agricultural input pricing. Therefore, monetary policy must account for sector-specific sensitivities and transmission mechanisms. In critical sectors like agriculture, tailored policy designs are essential for stabilizing costs, supporting food security, and enhancing rural economic resilience.Öğe Water Saving Behaviors in Agriculture within the Framework of Norm Activation Model(Springer, 2026) Candemir, Serhan; Dogan, Hasan Gokhan; Edirneligil, Aysen; Bayramoglu, Zeki; Mirza, Emel; Ganiyusufoglu, AliToday, sustainable water use has become a critical policy area, as dynamics such as increasing global water demand, water scarcity, and climate change directly affect agricultural production. In this study, the role of psychological and social factors in explaining water-saving behaviors in agricultural production was examined based on the Norm Activation Model (NAM); the model was extended with the environmental concern (EC) variable. Within the scope of the field study carried out in Konya province, data were collected from 270 farmers. Structural equation modeling results showed that personal norms exert a strong positive effect on water-saving behaviors (beta = 0.430 in the original model; beta = 0.341 in the extended model). The original NAM explained 19.5% of the variance in personal norms, while the extended NAM increased this explanatory power to 22.0%, corresponding to an improvement of approximately 2.5 percentage points. Environmental concern directly affected both personal norms (beta = 0.118) and water-saving behaviors (beta = 0.234). Guilt emotions contributed positively to water-saving behaviors (beta = 0.085), while pride did not show a statistically significant direct effect. The findings indicate that psychological and environmental drivers play a decisive role in shaping farmers' water-saving behaviors. The study suggests that environmental sensitivity and normative approaches should be integrated into interventions aimed at increasing the sustainability of water management policies and agricultural irrigation practices
