About 700,000 on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have been installed in Sweden, serving both year-round and summer houses (Olshammar et al., 2015). Their treatment efficiency is often questioned, because they may contribute considerably to eutrophication of natural surface waters. It is estimated that the phosphorus (P) discharge of all the OWTSs accounts for 15% of the total anthropog...

Income from off-farm sources is especially important for land-poor households. However, the pattern of participation in off-farm activities is heterogeneous across space. We explore the determinants of participation in off-farm non-agricultural employment using data for rural Mexico. In particular, we try to understand how the neighborhood and the neighbors’ characteristics and choices affect t...

Events of the 1990s seem to have given the small farm a new lease on life. Organic agriculture offers a means of producing considerable profitability on very small areas even if many small farmers are of necessity only part-time farmers. Opportunities off the farm, however, have enabled owners of small parcels to farm them profitably, or at least sustainably. Urban agriculture is now a respecte...

Considering the increasing attention on efficient use of energy, it becomes vitally important to understand the energy-related behavior of households. Three sets of variables are examined as potential influences building , socio-economic, and regional characteristics. To highligh...
