There is no __________ (A) experimental evidence in reducing stubble burning via behavioural interventions (although there are a few in subsidy schemes). One of the key __________ (B) from existing studies is that a social network can help in reducing information constraints and create new social norms. When it comes to technology adoption (such as the use of the Happy Seeder machinery), creating farmer networks and intervening with capacity building and targeted information delivery can help. Malawian farmers needed to learn from multiple ‘seed’ farmers (key network influencers) before adopting new technologies. When it comes to behaviour that is __________ (C) largely by existing social norms (a status quo), collective bonuses have also been helpful in encouraging environmentally sustainable behaviour (especially if subsidies are integral to technology adoption). Farmer producer organizations or cooperatives already in place could be tasked with monitoring and implementing such an intervention. Thus, a farmer wishes to__________ (D) the stubble quickly and burning is the fastest way to deal with this. Offering small, time-limited discounts to farmers helps: the timing of the subsidies (and their framing as discounts) therefore might make a difference to whether or not farmers decide to take it up. The same applies to converting stubble to fuel or energy; if services can be offered to farmers to manage stubble so that they are timed to align with harvesting patterns, then it may be more taken up. If stubble burning needs to stop, it is clear that bans, incentives, and targeted subsidies may be useful to varying degrees but unable to wholly resolve the problem. Behavioural measures can be combined with subsidies or other incentives aimed at a subset of farmers and tested using experimental methods. Until policy feedback at the level of the farmer is taken into account, one might expect this atmospheric ballet to carry on __________ (E).
