In questo libro esaminiamo l'efficacia dei nudge comportamentali nel promuovere un uso responsabile dei pesticidi nelle risaie dell'India orientale. Grazie agli interventi effettuati nel villaggio di Regdimal, tra cui calcoli semplificati dei pesticidi e promemoria visivi sui rischi dei pesticidi, sono stati osservati aumenti significativi della resa della risaia e riduzioni dei costi variabili. Il libro evidenzia come questi interventi comportamentali abbiano influenzato efficacemente il comportamento produttivo degli agricoltori, portando a un utilizzo pi sostenibile delle risorse. Sottolinea il potenziale degli strumenti di economia comportamentale nella promozione di pratiche agricole responsabili e sottolinea l'importanza di ulteriori ricerche e iniziative politiche in questa direzione. Attraverso intuizioni interessanti e implicazioni pratiche, "Nudging for Sustainability" offre un contributo prezioso al discorso sull'agricoltura sostenibile e sull'economia comportamentale.

In this book we examine the effectiveness of behavioural nudges in promoting responsible pesticide use in Eastern India's paddy fields. The intervention includes, simplified pesticide calculations to reduce cognitive load and visual reminders of pesticide risks, significant increases in paddy yield and decreases in variable costs were observed. The book highlights how these behavioural interventions effectively influenced farmers' production behaviour, leading to more sustainable resource utilization. It emphasizes the potential of behavioural economics tools in promoting responsible agricultural practices and underscores the importance of further research and policy initiatives in this direction. Through compelling insights and practical implications, "Nudging for Sustainability" offers valuable contributions to the discourse on sustainable agriculture and behavioural economics.
