Abstract Does farmland zoning affect farm income, and why? This study addresses these questions using a case study in Taiwan. We use a unique farmland-level dataset and apply the regression discontinuity design to quantify the effects of zoning on farm income. We find that the zoning program decreases farm income. The programme effects are heterogeneous, as they are more pronounced for farms in the higher percentiles of the farm income distribution. Moreover, a larger effect is found for elderly farm operators. Concerning the mechanism, we argue that the zoning program generated an optional benefit or wealth effect for eligible farms. This wealth effect then reallocates family labour to off-farm jobs. Consequently, the zoning program reduces income from farming.

Micro Level

This micro level study, conducted in the Southern Karnataka to examine the sources of income and pattern of household expenditure, revealed that farm activities are the main sources of income in both progressive and less progressive areas and non-farm and off-farm activity (mainly agricultural labour) contributes only a negligible portion. The smallholders as well as rainfed households during the slack agricultural season depend on rural non-farm activities through non- agricultural labour as the source of earning in progressive area where as in less progressive area, all the categories of farmers had their non-farm income earned majorly from house rent. Percentage of spending on various items varied with category of farmers. With the increase in income, there was increase in expenditure on non-food items, which was observed in both areas. Inequality in income distribution was less than consumption expenditure due to unequal non-food consumption expenditures in both areas. There was a relatively higher income and expenditure inequality has observed in less progressive area compared to progressive area. Overall, it was evident from the results that, even though farm income contribution was more in both areas, still improving off and non-farm employment opportunities that adds to income and helps for further savings.

This research aimed to analyze the difference of the income structure, the income distribution, and the welfare level of cassava farmer households based on factory location distance from location of cassava farm in Lampung Tengah Regency. The research sample consisted of 42 cassava farmers in Terusan Nunyai Subdistrict and 31 cassava farmers in Bandar Mataram Subdistrict. The data were analyzed using income structure, income distribution, and welfare level analysis based on BPS criteria. The results of this research showed that there was difference in the income structure between cassava farmers in Terusan Nunyai Subdistrict and Bandar Mataram Subdistrict. The income structure of cassava farmers had the highest contribution of the household income from main on-farm income which was 65.75 percent and 78.88 percent. There was also difference in the income distribution between cassava farmer households in Terusan Nunyai Subdistrict and Bandar Mataram Subdistrict. The income distribution of cassava farmer households in Terusan Nunyai Subdistrict was categorized as moderate inequality, welfare in Bandar Mataram Subdistrict was categorized as high inequality.

Nationally representative data of farm households from India Human Development Surveys (IHDS) conducted in 2004-05 and 2011-12 are explored. This article analyzes the effects of income diversification in non-farm enterprises on farm households’ income and consumption expenditure in rural India. Panel probit models were built to examine the determinants of income diversification while propensity score matching was used to account selection bias resulting from unobserved factors and controls for structural differences between diversified and undiversified farm households. The results suggest that by engaging in non-farm enterprises, rural farm households make positive gains in farm income and consumption expenditure.
