We suggest and explore a conceptual framework in which economic gains can be maximized when production activities are specialized at increasingly broader scales (from the household to the village, region or above), particularly when markets for outputs and inputs function well. Conversely, more specialization likely reduces biodiversity and significantly limits ecosystem functions. When agricultural specialization increases and moves to broader scales as a result of improved infrastructure and markets or other drivers, ecosystem functions can also be endangered at broader spatial scales. Policies to improve agricultural incomes may influence the level of specialization at different scales and thus affect the severity of the trade-offs. This paper takes Jambi province in Indonesia, a current hotspot of rubber and oil palm monoculture, as a case study to illustrate these issues. We empirically show that the level of specialization differs across scales with higher specialization at household and village levels and higher diversification towards the province level. We discuss ways to resolve trade-offs between economic gains and ecological costs, including landscape design, targeted policies, and adoption of long-term perspectives."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ecolecon.2016.01.001"],["dc.identifier.fs","619944"],["dc.identifier.gro","3148962"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13142"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5604"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Faust Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B05: Land use patterns in Jambi - quantification of structure, heterogeneity and changes of vegetation and land use as a basis for the explanation of ecological and socioeconomic functions"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B10: Landschaftsbezogene Bewertung der ökologischen und sozioökonomischen Funktionen von Regenwald- Transformationssystemen in Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C02: Soziale Transformationsprozesse und nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung im ländlichen Jambi"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C03: Culture-Specific Human Interaction with Tropical Lowland Rainforests in Transformation in Jambi, Sumatra"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C08: Design effektiver Politikinstrumente zur Förderung nachhaltiger Landnutzung"],["dc.relation.issn","0921-8009"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Abteilung Ökosystemmodellierung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.subject.gro","Economies of Scale"],["dc.subject.gro","Ecosystem Services"],["dc.subject.gro","Indonesia"],["dc.subject.gro","Monoculture"],["dc.subject.gro","Oil Palm"],["dc.subject.gro","Rubber"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Economic and ecological trade-offs of agricultural specialization at different spatial scales"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In Indonesia, the world's leading palm oil producer, in addition to large companies, smallholder farmers are increasingly engaged in the oil palm sector. Smallholder oil palm cultivation may contribute to income gains and socio-economic development. However, land-use decisions by smallholders are not well understood. Without appropriate policies, negative social and environmental consequences can also occur. To improve the knowledge base, we use data about present and past land-use decisions from a survey of farm households in Sumatra. Employing duration models, we analyse the determinants and dynamics of oil palm adoption among smallholders. We find that independently operating farmers are currently driving growth rates in the oil palm sector. Smallholder adoption decisions are mainly attributable to regional and village level factors. While the current adoption primarily occurs outside of contracts, previous contractual ties between companies and other farmers in the same village play an important role for individual decisions. Beyond initial adoption, we also analyse later expansion decisions. While expanding the oil palm area subsequent to initial adoption is common among all types of adopters, those without previous contracts are found to expand significantly faster. We conclude that the concessions the government has allocated to palm oil companies in the past have initiated oil palm adoption in the small farm sector, but that the ensuing land-use dynamics are mostly beyond government control. Some wider implications are discussed."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1477-9552.12163"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150298"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7047"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-857X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.subject","Duration models; Indonesia; land-use change; smallholder farmers"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Oil Palm Expansion among Smallholder Farmers in Sumatra, Indonesia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The study builds on survey data from Sumatra, Indonesia. Treatment-effects and endogenous switching regression models suggest that smallholder households benefit from oil palm adoption on average. Part of the benefit stems from the fact that oil palm requires less labor than rubber, the main alternative crop. This allows oil palm adopters to allocate more labor to off-farm activities and/or to expand their farmland. For households with a low land-to-labor ratio, rubber is typically a more lucrative crop than oil palm. Depending on various social and institutional factors, households’ access to land, labor, and capital varies, contributing to impact heterogeneity. Welfare gains associated with oil palm are more pronounced among households that have formal land titles and access to additional land to expand their farm size during the process of adoption."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/agec.12363"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12885"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","GRO-Li-Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1111/agec.12363"],["dc.relation.issn","0169-5150"],["dc.relation.issn","0169-5150"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Differential livelihood impacts of oil palm expansion in Indonesia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In Indonesia, the expansion is largely driven by smallholder farmers. While recent research has studied effects for the environment and climate change, socioeconomic impacts in the small farm sector have hardly been analyzed. Here, we address this research gap by analyzing effects of oil palm adoption on farm household living standards and nutrition in Sumatra. Using survey data and econometric models, we estimate average impacts, impact pathways, and impact heterogeneity. Results show that oil palm adoption improves household living standards and nutrition. Mean impacts on food and non-food expenditures, as well as on calorie consumption and dietary quality, are all positive and significant. A sizeable part of the total effects is attributable to oil palm adopters expanding their farm size rather than realizing higher profits per hectare. Oil palm has lower labor requirements than alternative crops (especially rubber), so that adopting farmers are able to manage larger land areas. Labor saved through switching from rubber to oil palm is also used to increase off-farm incomes. Impact heterogeneity is analyzed with quantile regressions. We find positive effects of oil palm adoption across the entire expenditure distribution. However, the absolute gains in total expenditures and non-food expenditures are larger for the better-off, suggesting that oil palm may contribute to rising inequality."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.worlddev.2016.12.019"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12879"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","GRO-Li-Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1016/j.worlddev.2016.12.019"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-750X"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-750X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","Oil Palm Adoption, Household Welfare, and Nutrition Among Smallholder Farmers in Indonesia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
