The cultural, economic, and nutritional importance of rice led many countries to investigate how domestic rice production can meet current and future demands. In rice production, the role of social capital and personal networks of producers compared to biophysical and economic assets, are less well understood even though case study analyses routinely indicate that they play an important role in production efficiency and sustainability. Using data from rice farmers in the Philippines, we sought to understand the role of social capital on farm productivity, technical efficiency, and the adoption of sustainable practices. Through social network analysis and structural equation modeling, we show the accumulation of social capital resources exhibits a positive impact on farm technical efficiency and the adoption of technology for water conservation. The results offer a different frame of reference for policymakers developing new approaches for sustainable rice production in terms of how dynamics between farmers may ultimately attain national and global sustainability goals.

表征农场层面社会关系对可持续粮食生产的影响

水稻在文化、经济和营养方面的重要性促使许多国家研究国内水稻生产如何满足当前和未来的需求。在水稻生产中,与生物物理和经济资产相比,社会资本和生产者个人网络的作用尚不清楚,尽管案例研究分析通常表明它们在生产效率和可持续性方面发挥着重要作用。我们使用来自菲律宾稻农的数据,试图了解社会资本对农业生产力、技术效率和采用可持续做法的作用。通过社会网络分析和结构方程模型,我们表明社会资本资源的积累对农业技术效率和节水技术的采用具有积极影响。
