Extended Data Fig. 3: Future agricultural sustainability changes due to ageing under SSP scenarios by 2100.
From: Ageing threatens sustainability of smallholder farming in China
(a) Total agricultural input; (b) Agricultural output; (c) Labour productivity; (d) Fertilizer use; (e) Manure use; (f) Fertilizer loss ratio; (g) Per capita disposable income from agricultural sector; (h) Farm size; (i) Machine input. (a)-(c), (d)-(e), (g)-(i) show the economic, environmental and social impacts of agricultural sustainability, respectively. The Baseline assumed no changes in the future. SSP1–4 refers to Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios. NF is the abbreviation of new farming. The input, output, fertilizer, manure and machine are all weighted with the total cultivated area. Labour productivity is weighted with the total labour input. Farm size and income are arithmetic averages.
