Índice de productividad total de los factores del sector agrícola Mexicano
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Sandoval Ceballos, José Alfredo.
El crecimiento de la productividad es un indicador clave para una economía. La  productividad total de los factores (PTF) es una proporción del total de los  productos respecto al total de los factores de la producción. Aquí se utiliza el  método de números índice para medir la PTF en el sector agropecuario. En las  últimas dos décadas ha habido cambios importantes en la economía mexicana  (por ejemplo: la apertura comercial, la modificación del Artículo 27 Constitucional,  entre otras) que afectan directamente las condiciones de la producción agrícola  del país y por ende afectan también el comportamiento de la productividad de los  cultivos. El objetivo principal de la presente investigación es medir el índice de  PTF del sector agrícola mexicano,...

Alteración de la fertilidad del suelo atribuible al cambio climático y su impacto sobre la productividad de café en el Estado de Veracruz, México.
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Brigido Morales, Juan Gabriel.
Todas las investigaciones sobre el cambio climático global indican que éste se ve fortalecido con el incremento en la concentración de gases, principalmente CO2. También se ha encontrado que este incremento pueden intensificar las condiciones climáticas medias normales dentro de las que históricamente se ha dado el desarrollo de la agricultura por lo que ésta se vuelve vulnerable, siendo afectada su productividad. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo fue estimar el papel de la posible modificación del índice de fertilidad del suelo debido al cambio climático en los cálculos de la productividad del cultivo de café (Coffea arabica L.) para 20 municipios cafetaleros del estado de Veracruz utilizando 3 escenarios de cambio climático para México...

Autores: Ewing, Patrick M; University of Minnesota, Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics ; ewing069@umn.edu; Runck, Bryan C; University of Minnesota, Department of Geography, Environment and Society; runck014@umn.edu.
The importance of corn production to the midwestern United States cannot be overestimated. However, high production requires high nitrogen  fertilization, which carries costs to environmental services such as water quality. Therefore, a trade-off exists between the production of corn yield and water quality. We used the Groundwater Vulnerability Assessment for Shallow depths and Crop Environment Resource Synthesis-Maize models to investigate the nature of this trade-off while testing the Simple Analytic Framework trade-offs featured in this Special Feature. First, we estimated the current levels of yield and water quality production in northeastern Iowa and southern Minnesota at the 1-square-kilometer, county, and regional scales. We then constructed an...

With sustainability within food systems becoming an increasingly important issue, several approaches that claim to assess the sustainability of farms, farming systems, and supply chains have been developed. Looking more closely at these sustainability impact assessment approaches, we discerned considerable differences between them in terms of scope, the level of assessment, and the precision of indicators used for impact assessment. Our aim was to classify and analyze a range of available sustainability impact assessment approaches with respect to scope and precision. From a total of 35 sustainability assessment approaches, we selected 6 for a detailed comparison. From our analysis, we concluded that there are 3 different types of trade-offs in these...

Autores: Grau, H. Ricardo; Universidad Nacional de Tucuman; CONICET; chilograu@gmail.com; Aide, Mitchell; University of Puerto Rico; tmaide@yahoo.com.
Current socioeconomic drivers of land-use change associated with globalization are producing two contrasting land-use trends in Latin America. Increasing global food demand (particularly in Southeast Asia) accelerates deforestation in areas suitable for modern agriculture (e.g., soybean), severely threatening ecosystems, such as Amazonian rain forests, dry forests, and subtropical grasslands. Additionally, in the coming decades, demand for biofuels may become an emerging threat. In contrast, high yields in modern agricultural systems and rural&amp;#8211;urban migration coupled with remittances promote the abandonment of marginal agricultural lands, thus favoring ecosystem recovery on mountains, deserts, and areas of poor soils, while improving human...

Humans influence and depend on natural systems worldwide, creating complex societal-ecological feedbacks that make it difficult to assess the long-term sustainability of contemporary human activities. We use ecological niche theory to consider the short-term (transient) and long-term (equilibrium) effects of improvements in health, agriculture, or efficiency on the abundances of humans, our plant and animal resources, and our natural enemies. We also consider special cases of our model where humans shift to a completely vegetarian diet, or completely eradicate natural enemies. We find that although combinations of health, agriculture, and efficiency improvements tend to support more people and plant resources, they also result in more natural enemies and...

Autores: Blumenthal, Dana M; University of Minnesota; dblumenthal@npa.ars.usda.gov; Jannink, Jean-Luc; University of Minnesota; jjannink@iastate.edu.
Collaboration among multiple stakeholders can be crucial to the success of natural resource management. In recent years, a wide variety of methods have been developed to facilitate such collaboration. Because these methods are relatively new and come from different disciplines, little attention has been paid to drawing comparisons among them. Thus, it is very difficult for potential users to sort through the increasingly large literature regarding such methods. We suggest the use of a consistent framework for comparing collaborative management methods, and develop such a framework based on five criteria: participation, institutional analysis, simplification of the natural resource, spatial scale, and stages in the process of natural resource management. We...

Assessing the Impact of Integrated Natural Resource Management: Challenges and Experiences
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: White, Douglas C; Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical;.
Assessing the impact of integrated natural resource management (INRM) research poses a challenge to scientists. The complexity of INRM interventions requires a more holistic approach to impact assessment, beyond the plot and farm levels and beyond traditional analysis of economic returns. Impact assessment for INRM combines the traditional "what" and "where" factors of economic and environmental priorities with newer "who" and "how" aspects of social actors and institutions. This paper presents an analytical framework and methodology for assessing the impact of INRM. A key feature of the proposed methodology is that it starts with a detailed planning process that develops a well-defined, shared, and holistic strategy to achieve development impact. This...

General knowledge of the small, invisible, or hidden organisms that make soil one of the most biodiverse habitats on Earth is thought to be scarce, despite their importance in food systems and agricultural production. We provide the first worldwide review of high-quality research that reports on farmers&amp;#8217; knowledge of soil organisms in agriculture. The depth of farmers&amp;#8217; knowledge varied; some farming communities held detailed local taxonomies and observations of soil biota, or used soil biological activity as indicators of soil fertility, while others were largely unaware of soil fauna. Elicitation of soil biota knowledge was often incidental to the main research goal in many of the reviewed studies. Farmers are rarely deliberately or...

There is a growing interest in assessing ecosystem services to improve ecosystem management in landscapes containing a mix of different ecosystems. While methodologies for assessing ecosystem services are constantly improving, only little attention has been given to the identification of which ecosystem services to assess. Service selection is mostly based on current state of the landscape although many landscapes are both inherently complex and rapidly changing. In this study we examine whether scenario development, a tool for dealing with uncertainties and complexities of the future, gives important insights into the selection of ecosystem services in changing landscapes. Using an agricultural landscape in South Africa we compared different sets of...

Autores: Walker, Brian; CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems; Brian.Walker@csiro.au; Steffen, Will; ; Will.Steffen@dwe.csiro.au.
Global change is the net effect of individual and interactive effects of changes in land use, atmospheric composition, biological diversity, and climate.  A synthesis of the past six years' activities of the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems project of the IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme) deals with global change effects as ecosystem responses and living with global change. Ecosystem responses are considered in terms of changes in function and vegetation composition/structure. Field experiments of elevated CO2 effects on aboveground biomass show, on average, a positive effect on biomass, ranging from -20% to +80%. Some early predictions of CO2 effects (C3 vs. C4 plants, N-fixers, C:N in litter) are not generally supported, and it...

In the last 200 yr, more than 80% of the land in the U.S. Corn Belt agro-ecosystem has been converted from natural perennial vegetation to intensive agricultural production of row crops.  Despite research showing how re-integration of perennial vegetation, e.g., cover crops, pasture, riparian buffers, and restored wetlands, at strategic landscape positions can bolster declining regional ecosystem functions, the amount of land area devoted to row crop production in the Corn Belt continues to increase.  As this region enters a time of fast-paced and uncertain reorganization driven by the emerging bioeconomy, changes in land use will continue to take place that will impact the resilience of the Corn Belt&amp;#8217;s linked social and ecological systems for...

Autores: Ricketts, Taylor; World Wildlife Fund; taylor.ricketts@wwfus.org; Imhoff, Marc; NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center; mimhoff@LTPmail.gsfc.nasa.gov.
Urbanization and agriculture are two of the most important threats to biodiversity worldwide. The intensities of these land-use phenomena, however, as well as levels of biodiversity itself, differ widely among regions. Thus, there is a need to develop a quick but rigorous method of identifying where high levels of human threats and biodiversity coincide. These areas are clear priorities for biodiversity conservation. In this study, we combine distribution data for eight major plant and animal taxa (comprising over 20,000 species) with remotely sensed measures of urban and agricultural land use to assess conservation priorities among 76 terrestrial ecoregions in North America. We combine the species data into overall indices of richness and endemism. We...

Autores: Paterson, Stacey; CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences; University of Adelaide; stacey.paterson@student.adelaide.edu.au; Bryan, Brett Anthony; CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences; brett.bryan@csiro.au.
Understanding the effects of payments on the adoption of reforestation in agricultural areas and the associated food-carbon trade-offs is necessary to inform climate change policy. Economic viability of reforestation under payment per hectare and payment per tonne schemes for carbon sequestration was assessed in a region in southern Australia supporting 6.1 Mha of rain-fed agriculture. The results show that under the median scenario, a carbon price of 27 A$/tCO2-e could make one-third of the study area (nearly 2 Mha) more profitable for reforestation than agriculture, and at 58 A$/tCO2-e all of the study area could become more profitable. The results were sensitive to variation in carbon risk factor, establishment costs, and discount rates. Pareto-optimal...

The interdisciplinary framework known as resilience theory used by ecologists, social scientists, as well as policy makers, is primarily concerned with the sources of transformation and stability in complex socioecological systems. The laboratory of the long and diverse archaeological record is uniquely suited to testing some of the implications of this theoretical perspective. In this paper, we consider the history of land use and landscape change across the transition from foraging to agricultural subsistence economies in the Middle Chevelon Creek region of northern Arizona. Through this discussion, we highlight the potential roles of diversity and flexibility at multiple spatial and temporal scales in the resilience of human land use practices from the...

Change in freshwater availability is arguably one of the most pressing issues associated with global change.  Agriculture, which uses roughly 70% of the total global freshwater supply, figures prominently among sectors that may be adversely affected by global change.  Of specific concern are small-scale agricultural systems that make up nearly 90% of all farming systems and generate 40% of agricultural output worldwide.  These systems are experiencing a range of novel shocks, including increased variability in precipitation and competing demands for water and labor that challenge their capacity to maintain agricultural output.  This paper employs a robustness-vulnerability trade-off framework to explore the capacity of these small-scale systems to cope...

The benefits and risks of any particular GM crop depend on the interactions of its ecological functions and natural history with the agroecosystem and ecosystems within which it is embedded. These evolutionary and ecological factors must be considered when assessing GM crops. We argue that the assessment of GM crops should be broadened to include alternative agricultural practices, ecosystem management, and agricultural policy. Such an assessment would be facilitated by a clearer understanding of the indirect costs of agriculture and the ecological services that support it. The benefits of GM crops should be compared to those of other means of agricultural intensification such as organic farming, integrated pest management, and agricultural policy reform....

Mountain ecosystems provide a broad range of ecosystem services (ES). Trade-offs between different ES are an important aspect in the assessment of future sustainable land-use. Management of ES in mountain regions must confront the challenges of spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and interaction with structural changes in agriculture and forestry. Using a social-ecological modeling framework, we assess the relationships between forest and agricultural ES in a mountain region in Switzerland. Based on the concept of jointness in production, we evaluated trade-offs and synergies among food provision, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and protection against natural hazards. Results show that increasing the provision of a focal ES in a mountain...

Does habitat specificity by frugivorous birds result in uneven seed rain within Bolivian mixed plantations?
Provedor de dados: 67
Autores: Montaño-Centellas,Flavia A.
Small-scale habitat specificity by frugivorous birds might affect their patterns of use of space and, consequently, may influence the range of habitats over which seeds are disseminated. These differences may translate into non-redundancy among bird assemblages using different habitats. I tested this hypothesis by capturing birds in two habitats within shaded mixed plantations in a Bolivian Andean forest (plantation interior and plantation edges with the forest matrix) and comparing the seeds found in their droppings. I found that, despite differences in bird assemblage composition and activity, the overall seed rain was similar among habitats: the seed rain in edges was only slightly richer in species than in the plantation interior, but species...

Turbidimetry as an alternative method to determine the rating curve of suspended sediments
Provedor de dados: 70
Autores: Poletto,Kayla; Sampaio,Silvio C.; Queiroz,Manoel M. F. de; Gomes,Benedito M.; Soncela,Rosimaldo.
Understanding hydrosedimental behavior of a watershed is essential for properly managing and using its hydric resources. The objective of this study was to verify the feasibility of the alternative procedure for the indirect determination of the sediment key curve using a turbidimeter. The research was carried out on the São Francisco Falso River, which is situated in the west of the state of Paraná on the left bank of ITAIPU reservoir. The direct method was applied using a DH-48 sediment suspended sampler. The indirect method consisted of the use of a linigraph and a turbidimeter. Based on the results obtained, it was concluded that the indirect method using a turbidimeter showed to be fully feasible, since it gave a power function-type mathematical model...

Entomofauna and potential pollinators of strawberry crop under semi-hydroponic conditions
Provedor de dados: 75
Autores: Piovesan,Bruna; Padilha,Aline C; Botton,Marcos; Zotti,Moisés João.
ABSTRACT Strawberry cultivation under semi-hydroponic conditions has increased in the Southern region of Brazil since it facilitates management, besides avoiding weather adversities, pests and diseases. However, protected environment can hamper the access of pollinator insects, essential for crop productivity. This work aimed to know the entomofauna associated with strawberry cultivar Albion cultivated under semi-hydroponic conditions and to identify potential species of native pollinating bees. Insects were captured at different times of the day (9:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.) in three commercial crops located in Bento Gonçalves and Farroupilha, Rio Grande do Sul. In each study area, three days of sampling were carried out during January 2017. The...

Does the landscape surrounding streams affect the occurrence of freshwater crabs? A case study of the genus Aegla (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) in subtropical basins
Provedor de dados: 76
Autores: Estevan,Cassiano; Hepp,Luiz U.; Decian,Vanderlei S.; Fornel,Rodrigo.
ABSTRACT Changes in the landscape where watersheds are located may affect the stream biota in different ways. In order to explore this idea, we collected freshwater crabs of the genus Aegla Leach, 1820 in subtropical region of southern Brazil. We also measured a number of landscape features and physico-chemical variables in the collection streams and surroundings in order to ascertain which factors affect the occurrence of these crustaceans. A total of 167 individuals of Aegla were collected in 21 streams. The collection was comprised of three species: A. odebrechtii, A. platensis, and A. singularis. The occurrence of A. platensis was influenced by physico-chemical variables (total carbon and total organic carbon) and stream morphometry factors (level...

ABSTRACT: Urban agriculture conducted with ecological principles is an alternative to produce healthy food, but it demands planning and suitable technologies. This ecological approach must be based on crop diversity, organnic or mineral fertilizers from natural origin and control of pests and diseases by non-toxic means. Cultivation of different species is the guarantee of food richness and offer of varied products. Composts, biofertilizers and green manure are presented as organic nutriet resources. Bio-insecticides, natural enemies and utilization of botanic preparations constitute suitable pest and disease. management strategies to urban agriculture. The international experiences treat about application of these principles on feed production,...

Autores: WAGNER, E.
Em 1980 o Brasil atingiu a safra de 296 milhoes de toneladas de produtos alimenticios (graos, tuberculos e carnes). A exportacao agricola atingiu a cifra de US$ 7,7 bilhoes, correspondendo a 33% do total dos negocios efetuados. Em 1981, a producao de alcool foi de 4,2 bilhoes de litros, aliviando em muito a dependencia de importacao do petroleo. Contudo, para a sua auto-suficiencia, o Brasil precisa basicamente de trigo, de sementes e de fertilizantes. Quanto a este ultimo item, a sua maior carencia e de potassio (K) e de nitrogenio (N). No entanto, com sua dimensao de continente de 8,5 milhoes de km2, o que o coloca como o quinto pais do mundo em extensao territorial, o Brasil possui uma grande e rica divesidade ecologica. Esse fato lhe da caracteristicas...

A pecuaria de leite e de carne, desenvolvida na regiao Centro-Oeste do Brasil, encontra nas pastagens tropicais cultivadas sua principal fonte alimentar. Esse recurso forrageiro e apontado como um dos componentes que confere competitividade no mercado ao produtos de origem animal. Paradoxalmente, um dos maiores problemas sociais, economicos e ambientais vividos pela pecuaria regional e a perda da capacidade produtiva das pastagens. Estima-se que 80% das pastagens da regiao do Cerrado encontram-se em algum estadio de degradacao. Alternativas para o restabelecimento da capacidade produtiva das pastagens cultivadas sao fundamentais para alcancar a sustentabilidade da atividade leiteira na regiao Centro-Oeste.

Os microorganismos do solo estao presentes em grande numero proximo as raizes das plantas e desempenham um papel importante em numerosos processos fisiologicos, que compreendem a patogenicidade, o saprofitismo e a simbiose. A simbiose mais amplamente observada entre as plantas e a associacao micorrizica, que envolve varios fungos do solo e raizes de plantas superiores. Esta associacao micorrizica, ou micorriza, tornou-se um tema de pesquisa de interesse desde que foi constatada a sua capacidade de proporcionar um aumento da absorcao de nutrientes do solo pelas plantas, principalmente do fosforo. As micorrizas nao aumentam o teor total de nutrientes no solo, mas permitem que a planta explore melhor as suas reservas. Nos olos de baixa fertilidade, a...

AGRICULTURA sem queima: programa 22: Norte.
Provedor de dados: 14
O Prosa Rural desta semana fala sobre agricultura sem queima, uma opção sustentável para a o meio ambiente e para a saúde do produtor. Quem acompanhar o pesquisador Silas Garcia, da Embrapa Amazônia Ocidental, vai conhecer as razões pelas quais não se deve usar o fogo na agricultura. Vai conhecer ainda os passos dessa prática, na qual se faz o corte da capoeira, a trituração e a distribuição uniforme dos pequenos fragmentos da vegetação sobre o solo, para, em seguida, realizar o plantio de frutas, verduras ou hortaliças. O programa também fala sobre os resultados positivos de produtividade, obtido pela agricultura sem queima.

Sensibilidade da demanda de água para irrigação a mudanças climáticas e fatores operacionais dos sistemas de produção.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: MAIA, A. de H. N.; GONDIM, R. S.; CASTRO, M. A. H. de.
Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a sensibilidade da demanda de água para irrigação numa sub-região da bacia do Rio Jaguaribe, no Estado do Ceará, a variáveis climáticas e fatores operacionais dos sistemas de cultivo. A necessidade hídrica bruta de culturas (NHB) é estimada usando um modelo simplificado baseado num balanço hídrico, a partir de dados de evapotranspiração mensal das culturas (ETP), que depende da temperatura e da composição de culturas, total mensal de chuva (PPT) e eficiência de aplicação de água dos sistemas de irrigação (EA). Foi realizada uma análise de sensibilidade algébrica, para quantificar o efeito de alterações relativas nas seguintes variáveis de entrada do modelo sobre a NHB: temperatura média mensal (T), usada para...

Revertendo o historicamente baixo grau de adoção de inovações tecnológicas nas agriculturas familiares de regiões semiáridas, especialmente do Semiárido Brasileiro.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: SOUZA, J. de S.
A metodologia científica publicada aqui é inédita nas ciências sociais. Porém, mais importante do que o seu ineditismo é a sua relevância para a sustentabilidade de modos de vida rurais dependentes da sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar em regiões semiáridas. A Metodologia que a Embrapa Algodão torna disponível hoje, possui enorme relevância para processos de geração e apropriação de conhecimentos e inovações tecnológicas dirigidos à sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar. Ela vem suprir uma necessidade antiga de cientistas sociais que dispunham de uma única metodologia concebida pelo Sociólogo Rural Brice Ryan e aplicada pela primeira vez em 1943, para estudar o processo de difusão e adoção de milho híbrido no Estado de Iowa, Estados Unidos....

Autores: CARDOSO, M. O.; BOHER, B.; ÁVILA, A. C. de; ASSIS, L. A. G.
Nos sistemas de produção da agricultura familiar, no Estado do Amazonas, as cucurbitáceas ocupam expressivas áreas, pois são espécies muito populares, de fácil colocação no mercado. As condições climáticas prevalecentes no Estado, caracterizadas por médias elevadas da precipitação anual, da temperatura e da umidade relativa do ar, não são fisiologicamente restritivas às exigências desse grupo de espécies tropicais. Entretanto, formam ambiente ideal para ocorrência e disseminação de patógenos. Nessas condições, os cultivos apresentam, frequentemente, sérios problemas fitossanitários, que afetam a qualidade dos produtos, e as perdas podem superam 70% da produção.

Drenagem agrícola: relações na produção e procedimentos de diagnóstico.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: VALDIVIESO SALAZAR, C. R.
A drenagem agricola e de reconhecida importancia na conservacao ou recuperacao do potencial de producao agricola, principalmente em regioes aridas e semi-aridas sob irrigacao. Os problemas de drenagem afetam o desenvolvimento normal das culturas com efeito diretos na fisiologia do vegetal e indiretamente degradando as condicoes otimas do ambiente (solo) do sistema radicular, inibindo o fornecimento de oxigenio e nutrientes, e gerando condicoes de toxidez. Uma revisao destas relacoes e efeitos e apresentada na primeira parte deste trabalho, visando contribuir ao entendimento dos mecanismos de interacao da drenagem na funcao de producao. O planejamento de solucoes a um problema de drenagem para uma area de producao agricola, implica a definicao dos...

Eficiencia agronomica de fertilizantes fosfatados nao tradicionais.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: GOEDERT, W. J.; REIN, T. A.; SOUSA, D. M. G. de.
A solubilizacao dos fosfatos naturais brasileiros e uma necessidade, em face da baixa eficiencia agronomica dos mesmos. No brasil, os produtos de transformacao mais comuns sao os superfosfatos e fosfatos de amonio, os quais se constituem em fontes de comprovada eficiencia agronomica. Contudo, ha necessidade de se obter produtos com tecnologia mais simples e que melhor aproveitem as materias-primas disponiveis no Pais. Uma das opcoes exercitadas no momento e a producao de fosfatos parcialmente acidulados com acido sulfurico. A eficiencia agronomica dessas fontes, para culturas anuais, tem sido proporcional a fracao da apatita solubilizada. Trata-se, assim, de um produto viavel, se o preco de mercado for estabelecido em funcao do teor de P2 05 soluvel....

Centenas de experimentos tem sido conduzidos no Nordeste do Brasil objetivando a eficiencia da producao de alimentos. Enquanto os resultados de um simples experimento e/ou uma unica estacao experimental tem aplicacao especifica, a combinacao de todos eles proporciona maior abrangencia. E provavel que os resultados de pesquisas de um dado experimento ou de uma estacao nao sejam relevantes somente para as areas adjacentes, mas tambem para outras regioes espalhadas pelo Nordeste com condicoes fisicas ambientais similares. Isto da enfase a coleta de alguns dados das culturas e do meio ambiente.

Alternativas agrícolas para as condições de solo e clima do Assentamento Mato Grande, Corumbá - MS.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: OLIVEIRA, H. de; CARDOSO, E. L.
O assentamento Mato Grande está localizado na borda oeste do Pantanal, entre as coordenadas 19°18' e 19° 20' de latitude sul e 57° 28' a 57° 30' de longitude a oeste de Greenwich, em Corumbá, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, com uma área total de 1.264,35 ha, de terras não alagáveis. A principal limitação à atividade agrícola é a deficiência hídrica, decorrente da estação seca pronunciada na região. O cultivo de espécies tolerantes e/ou adaptadas às condições ambientais locais, pode reduzir os riscos de perdas e aumentar as possibilidades de rentabilidade da atividade agrícola. São sugeridas algumas espécies a serem cultivadas, obtidas através de levantamentos bibliográficos, que podem tornar-se opções de cultivo para os agricultores locais. O objetivo...

Estima-se que, em menos de 40 anos, duplique a populacao brasileira. Isso equivale dizer que, se nao houver apreciavel aumento de eficiencia e de produtividade na agricultura, sera preciso duplicar a area de cultivo. Na verdade o problema ja existe: a populacao brasileira e mal-nutrida, ha carencia de alimentos e os precos dos produtos alimenticios tendem a aumentar em razao de uma relativa ineficiencia nas atividades agricolas. Tanto para aumentar a eficiencia e a produtividade da agricultura, como para duplicar a area de cultivo, dois fatores sao importantes: terra e tempo. Terra no Brasil nao parece ser um fator escasso, ainda que finito. Tempo parece ser um fator, se nao escasso, pelo menos limitante. Em vista disso devem ser introduzidos no processo...

Autores: FRAGOSO, E. J. N.; OLIVEIRA, E. N. de; VASCONCELOS, G. M. C. de; SILVA, G. M. A.; LIMA, J. R. F. de; SANTIAGO, A. M. dos S.
Tendo em vista o grande crescimento tanto da área de ocorrência das secas quanto do prolongamento do tempo de estiagem no Semiárido brasileiro, o que antes se buscava combater, hoje, prefere-se trabalhar a terminologia ?convivência?, por ser considerada mais apropriada a realidade dessa região. Assim, pesquisa-se sobre como a agricultura familiar lida, atualmente, com o ciclo das secas, a fim de analisar as estratégias de enfrentamento desta agricultura nas áreas de sequeiro. Para tanto, é necessário relatar o histórico da região aqui em destaque, partindo do período referência até o atual, em seguida, conceituar e discorrer o fenômeno da seca e a agricultura familiar; e apresentar as estratégias e tecnologias utilizadas nessa agricultura para...

O Platô das Guianas abriga a maior faixa preservada de floresta tropical do planeta, um mosaico de áreas protegidas com mais de 12 milhões de hectares, caracterizado por altos níveis de endemismo. Por outro lado, o crescimento da agricultura, associado a investimentos de infraestrutura de transporte e energia, vem ocorrendo nessa região. Logo, os países que compõem essa área fronteiriça têm um grande desafio em comum: compatibilizar o desenvolvimento socioeconômico com a conservação ambiental. A Embrapa Amapá, que está localizada nessa região de fronteira, vem fortalecendo a sua atuação de pesquisa a partir da cooperação internacional, uma estratégia para fortalecer o relacionamento com instituições de pesquisa dos países vizinhos, visando à promoção do...

Autores: FERRAZ, R. P. D.; PRADO, R. B.; SIMÕES, M.; FIDALGO, E. C. C.; BERGIER, I.; PARRON, L. M.; CAMPANHA, M. M.; WINCKLER, L. T.
O capítulo que se segue objetiva apresentar ao leitor uma perspectiva ampla sobre a relação da agricultura com os serviços ecossistêmicos. Dessa forma, será apresentado e discutido como as atividades agrícolas pressionam os processos naturais, bem como elas são beneficiadas e provêm serviços ecossistêmicos de provisão, regulação e culturais essenciais para a manutenção da capacidade de produção dos agroecossistemas. Ressalta-se ainda a importância de se abordar os serviços ecossistêmicos em múltiplas escalas, para que se possa promover não somente a adequação dos sistemas de produção em nível local, mas também a multifuncionalidade da paisagem rural, visando ao aumento da provisão de serviços e a própria sustentabilidade das atividades agrícolas.

Contribuição técnica para um plano de revitalização e desenvolvimento da pecuária bovina no Oeste da Bahia.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: CEZAR, I.; MAIA, A.
No Oeste da Bahia, a revitalização e o desenvolvimento da pecuária de corte têm sido considerados como prioridades. Nesse sentido, a Secretaria de Agricultura, Irrigação e Reforma Agrária (SEAGRI) resolveu, sob a coordenação da Empresa Baiana de Desenvolvimento Agrícola S/A (EBDA), tomar a iniciativa de elaborar um plano de ações que contemplem esta demanda. Esse relatório tem como objetivo oferecer subsídios para elaboração do referido plano e fundamenta-se numa abordagem participativa com a comunidade local. O declínio da pecuária é caracterizado por uma redução do rebanho, manifestada pela substituição de venda de boi gordo por bezerro desmamado. Grande parte das pastagens encontra-se degradada ou em processo de degradação. A falta de capacitação dos...

Sugestões de uso e manejo dos solos do Assentamento Taquaral, Corumbá - MS.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: CARDOSO, E. L.; OLIVEIRA, H. de.
A implantação de Projetos de Assentamentos Rurais nas terras não inundáveis ao redor de Corumbá e Ladário fez com que a agricultura passasse a fazer parte das atividades econômicas desses municípios. No entanto, a atividade agrícola nestas terras encontra severas limitações à obtenção de elevadas produtividades, decorrentes principalmente da deficiência de água para as plantas, determinada pelo expressivo período seco que ocorre na região. No Assentamento Taquaral, esta limitação é acentuada pela predominância de solos com textura argilosa a muito argilosa, determinando: drenagem imperfeita e pouca permeabilidade, fazendo com que o solo permaneça encharcado por muito tempo durante o período chuvoso; dificuldade de mecanização, devido a elevada plasticidade...

Autores: FERRAZ, R. P. D.; PRADO, R. B.; SIMÕES, M.; FIDALGO, E. C. C.; BERGIER, I.; PARRON, L. M.; CAMPANHA, M. M.; WINCKLER, L. T.
O capítulo que se segue objetiva apresentar ao leitor uma perspectiva ampla sobre a relação da agricultura com os serviços ecossistêmicos. Dessa forma, será apresentado e discutido como as atividades agrícolas pressionam os processos naturais, bem como elas são beneficiadas e provêm serviços ecossistêmicos de provisão, regulação e culturais essenciais para a manutenção da capacidade de produção dos agroecossistemas. Ressalta-se ainda a importância de se abordar os serviços ecossistêmicos em múltiplas escalas, para que se possa promover não somente a adequação dos sistemas de produção em nível local, mas também a multifuncionalidade da paisagem rural, visando ao aumento da provisão de serviços e a própria sustentabilidade das atividades agrícolas.

ABSTRACT: A procedure to estimate the center pivot maximum application rate, based on equipment and soil characteristic is presented. It was developed to minimize the surface runoff. To achieve this objective, the Green and Ampt (GA) infiltration equation was modified to include surface sealing and surface storage. The highest application rate is determined by solving a system of equations which incout to application rate and its derivative and the GA and its derivative. Sensitivit analysis showed that the procedure represented adequately the variation in the main parameters that interfere in the value of the maximum application rate. This methodology can be used to desing the optimum center pivot irrigation system for given combination of soil, climate...

The multiparameter characteristics of the SIR-C/X-SAR experiment (L, C and X bands, HH, HV and VV polarizations for L and C bands, VV for X band, angles of incidence from 15 graus- 55 graus) would provide an unique and excellent opportunity to improve hydrologic and agricultural studies in the microwave domain. Being so, two main objectives are established in this proposal: a) To develop an algorithm to monitor the hydrological cycle over agricultural areas, based on data derived from SAR imagery and meteorological data at a floodplain area; b) To verify the possibility to discriminate among cultures at the date of the experiment and describe and analyse the attenuation properties of the cultures as related to the following radar parameters: frequency,...

Resumo - Com o surgimento do aprendizado profundo, redes neurais novamente se tornaram opções vantajosas para lidar com uma variedade de problemas de classificação, especialmente quando imagens digitais estão envolvidas. A popularização desse tipo de técnica deu origem a uma comunidade ativa que tornou pública a maior parte das arquiteturas de aprendizado profundo desenvolvidas até o momento. Documentações completas e tutoriais detalhados associados a essas arquiteturas garantem que qualquer pessoa com conhecimentos básicos de programação é capaz de realizar os experimentos sem muito esforço. Como resultado, houve uma explosão no número de artigos aplicando aprendizado profundo a uma ampla gama de problemas. Apesar dos excelentes resultados alcançados por...

A evolucao da producao agricola na regiao dos cerrados: alguns indices.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: SCOLARI, D. D. G.
Dentre as alternativas brasileiras para o aumento da producao nacional de graos, tanto para atendimentos do mercado interno como para exportacao, a regiao dos Cerrados do Brasil ja desempenha papel de destaque. A estagnacao da producao nacional de cereais, notadamente nos ultimos anos, decorrencia de frustacoes climaticas na regiao sul do Pais, com perdas substanciais de safras, demonstra claramente a necessidade de diversificacao espacial na producao agricola. Nesse contexto o aumento da oferta de alimentos a nivel nacional, atraves de intensificacao da agricultura nos Cerrados, visando principalmente ao aumento vertical da producao, se apresenta como grande alternativa da sociedade brasileira. Existe uma serie de fatores de natureza tecnica, politica e...

COMO proteger a lavoura de inverno: programa 22: Sul.
Provedor de dados: 14
O Prosa Rural desta semana apresenta alternativas de como proteger a lavoura de inverno. A produção de grãos no Brasil, no clima subtropical, quente e úmido, é um verdadeiro desafio para a agricultura brasileira. O clima favorece o aparecimento de doenças nos cereais de inverno, como manchas, fungos e bacterioses, que exigem do produtor e da assistência técnica todo um conhecimento das medidas de proteção de plantas: desde o monitoramento da lavoura, limitações no uso de fungicidas, até o momento adequado para as aplicações, por exemplo. No programa desta semana, você saberá sobre os estudos realizados pela Embrapa Trigo sobre o assunto e conhecerá a importância do monitoramento das lavouras de inverno como forma de reduzir danos e maximizar lucros.

Agricultura de vazante: Opção de cultivo para o período.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: ARAUJO, F. P. de.
No Semiárido brasileiro, os fundos dos vales, as baixadas ou baixios, são as áreas com potencial de produção agrícola, por causa de uma maior disponibilidade hídrica e apresentam, em geral, os melhores solos. Para essas áreas, convergem as águas das bacias, seja na forma dos riachos intermitentes, do escoamento subterrâneo ou da infiltração nas paredes de açudes. Em algumas situações, muitas áreas têm água em lençóis freáticos não muito profundos, no leito dos rios secos e na vazante dos açudes. A construção de barragens e açudes de grande porte nas décadas de 1940, 1950 e 1960 tiveram como finalidade garantir o abastecimento de água das populações rurais e urbanas e implementar os grandes projetos de irrigação e pecuária. Atualmente, observa-se o aumento...

Para se determinar as populacoes de milho variedade Centralmex, com o sistema de captacao de agua de chuva "in situ", mais adequadas as regioes com elevada irregularidade pluviometrica espaco-temporal, foram instalados experimentos nos anos agricolas de 82/83, 83/84 e 84/85 no Campo Experimental da Caatinga do CPATSA-EMBRAPA, avaliando cinco densidades de plantio (75.000, 60.000, 45.000, 30.000 e 15.000 plantas/ha). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso com seis repeticoes. Houve um efeito altamente significativo da densidade de plantio sobre a produtividade do milho nos tres anos. A analise conjunta apresentou um efeito significativo ao nivel de 1% de probabilidade para os anos e para a interacao ano-densidade.

RESUMO: A Fundação Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), tradicional fonte de dados socioeconômicos brasileiros, disponibiliza na Internet dados coletados a partir de 1990 no sistema SIDRA. Porém, algumas demandas de gerentes e pesquisadores envolvidos no desenvolvimento e no planejamento da pesquisa agropecuária, particularmente os da Embrapa Cerrados, que necessitam referir-se à essa região especificamente, podem encontrar dificuldades para serem atendidas. O subprojeto que originou este Boletim de Pesquisa visou a criar recursos para mitigar essas dificuldades, dando condições para recuperação de dados socioeconômicos ou agronômicos, ao mesmo tempo em que sugere métodos para utilizá-los no estudo da evolução da agricultura na Região do...

Questões e críticas sobre os impactos da agricultura no meio ambiente são cada vez mais frequentes. Entretanto, ainda não existe informação quantitativa que permita associar atividades agrossilvipastoris com mudanças no estoque de recursos naturais ou para comparar os retornos financeiros entre atividades alternativas. Assim, atualmente não é possível diferenciar as alternativas sob a ótica de retornos privados e sociais. Tal informação com enfoque social é crucial para a geração de políticas adequadas para a região. Para preencher esta lacuna de informação e metodologia, a Embrapa em parceria com o IFPRI e outros orgãos nacionais e internacionais, está desenvolvendo um programa de pesquisa visando a coleta de informação na área biofísica e socioeconômica,...

Scientific review of the impact of climate change on plant pests: a global challenge to prevent and mitigate plant pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: GULLINO, M. L.; ALBALES, R.; AL-JBOORY, I.; ANGELOTTI, F.; CHAKRABORTY, S.; GARRETT, K. A.; HURLEY, B. P.; JUROSZEK, P.; MAKKOUK, K.; STEPHENSON, T.
Climate change represents an unprecedented challenge to the world?s biosphere and to the global community. It also represents a unique challenge for plant health. Human activities and increased market globalization, coupled with rising temperatures, has led to a situation that is favourable to pest movement and establishment. This scientific review assesses the potential effects of climate change on plant pests and consequently on plant health. The evidence assessed strongly indicates that climate change has already expanded some pests? host range and geographical distribution, and may further increase the risk of pest introduction to new areas. This calls for international cooperation and development of harmonized plant protection strategies to help...

Agriculture, conchyliculture et circulation des eaux de surface : état actuel des recherches
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Chevallier, Claude; Masson, Daniel.
La qualité des eaux de surface constitue périodiquement un sujet de controverse et de polémiques entre professionnels agricoles et conchylicoles charentais. Le débat reste centré sur la valorisation agricole des zones de marais littoraux. La création croissante d'îlots de culture drainés, souvent à proximité immédiate des zones conchylicoles, suscite l'inquiétude quant à la qualité des eaux d'aval. Il nous a paru nécessaire d'établir un état succinct des connaissances en la matière afin d'éviter l'usage d'arguments parfois irrationnels et de favoriser le dialogue entre les partenaires ; mais il nous paraît tout aussi important de montrer que la qualité des eaux de surface, question essentielle pour l'aménagement régional dépasse le seul cadre des marais :...

La gestion de l'eau douce en Seudre
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Masson, Daniel.
Suedre River, a small river in Charente-Maritime, is 45 km long and drains a 380 km2 river basin. Its flow rate is about 20 m3.s(-1). Beyond the Saujon agglomeration, the river extends to the sea via a 25-km long estuary which, through the action of tides, becomes a sea arm reaching 1 km in width. Freshwater and salt marshes line the banks of the Seudre River. Freshwater marshes are occupied by large cattle farms and intensive, irrigated crops. Salt marshes are used for oyster finishing—the final, fattening process in oyster farming. The coexistence of both types of activity is sometimes problematic, particularly in terms of water management, a frequent source of conflict. The climate in Charente-Maritime is characterised by dry summers and rainy winters,...

Les agriculteurs aménageant quelques centaines d'hectares du marais doux de Hiers Brouage (mise à plat, drainage) afin de le mettre en culture, il était important de pouvoir mesurer l'impact que peuvent avoir les rejets de drainage-pompage dans le milieu marin par l'intermédiaire des chenaux ostréicoles. Ceci afin d'éviter d'éventuels conflits entre groupes socio-professionnels (agriculteurs et conchyliculteurs) en proposant des mesures et de solutions. Un suivi est donc effectué à la demande des administrations, en collaboration avec l'INRA et le CEMAGREF, lesquels assurent le suivi de la lagune de décantation des eaux de drainage. L'IFREMER prenant en compte le milieu récepteur (chenaux du Grand Garçon et de Brouage). A raison de cinq sériées de...

Autores: Coeurdacier, Jean-luc; Faury, Nicole; Ratiskol, Jacqueline.
Les agriculteurs envisagent ou ont commencé d'aménager certains marais doux à des fins de culture. Si ces projets se réalisent, 500ha seront aménagés à terme (2 à 5 ans) dans le marais de Hiers Brouage qui en totalise 10 500. Les aménagements comportent : un isolement des ilots, une mise à plat, un assainissement par drainage et pompage de l'eau avec rejet direct ou indirect dans le milieu marin. Les administrations conscientes des risques de conflit entre agriculteurs d'une part, ostréiculteurs et associations de protection de la nature d'autre part ont souhaité qu'un suivi soit effectué sur l'Ilot des Tannes (115 ha) pris comme test. Le principe d'une "lagune" a été retenu afin d'arrêter les particules fines et provoquer une certaine stabulation des eaux...

Gestion de l'eau douce et conchyliculture en Charente-Maritime
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Masson, Daniel.
The wetlands of Charente-Maritime represent 100,000 ha and are classified in three categories: flooded marshland valleys, freshwater marshes (farmed land) and coastal salt marshes (traditional and modern shellfish farms). The economic character of the latter two categories gives rise to conflicts of use. Both the agricultural and aquacultural professions are particularly sensitive to these conflicts due to the difficult economic times they are currently experiencing. The main issue is freshwater management, in both its qualitative and quantitative aspects. Charente-Maritime climate is characterised by rainy winters and dry summers and all players need water (or wish to evacuate it) during the same periods. It is thus necessary to mediate disputes or even...

Dans le contexte de développement agricole très actif des trente dernières années les marais atlantiques littoraux qui couvrent, pour leur partie endiguée environ 300.000 ha ont été et continuent d'être soumis à des transformations importantes qui influent sur la circulation et la qualité des eaux de surface. Ce développement, visant à une amélioration de la productivité et à une meilleure intégration de l'activité agricole dans les grands processus économiques, s'est appuyé, là comme ailleurs, sur les intensifications fourragère et surtout céréalière. L'adaptation de ce modèle général aux caractéristiques écologiques du milieu nécessitait de limiter les effets des excès d'eau hivernaux sur la mise en culture ainsi que ceux de la sécheresse estivale sur...

Dans le contexte de développement agricole très actif des trente dernières années les marais atlantiques littoraux qui couvrent, pour leur partie endiguée environ 300.000 ha. ont été et continuent d'être soumis à des transformations importantes qui influent sur la circulation et la qualité des eaux de surface. Ce développement, visant à une amélioration de la productivité et à une meilleure intégration de l' activité agricole dans les grands processus économiques, s'est appuyé, là comme ailleurs, sur les intensifications fourragère et surtout céréalière. L'adaptation de ce modèle général aux caractéristiques écologiques du milieu nécessitait de limiter les effets des excès d'eau hivernaux sur la mise en culture ainsi que ceux de la sécheresse estivale sur...

Coordination autour d'une ressource commune et logiques d'acteurs. Une analyse au travers des usages agricoles et ostréicoles de l'eau dans le bassin versant de la Charente
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Rivaud, Audrey.
The analysis of the coordination upon common resources has been focused essentially on the question of the choice of management instruments in order to guide the behavior of the economic agents. Therefore, the potential role of actors’ behaviors, upstream from the process of coordination, is insufficiently studied. This explains partially the failure of some of these instruments. Thus, the aim of our research consists in constructing a theoretical framework able to explain upstream determinants of the coordination. We integrate, in this perspective, the potential effect of institutional and technological variables, and effects linked to the local dynamics towards the strategies adopted by the actors. In the empirical part of our study we concentrate on the...

L'étude entreprise en 1985 sur la qualité des eaux de rejet de la zone cultivée de l'Ilot des Tannes, dans le marais de Moeze, examine maintenant les résultats de la deuxième année de culture intensive. Rappelons que cette étude a pour but d'apprécier la qualité physico-chimique des eaux de ruissellement et le drainage arrivant dans le milieu ostréicole par l'intermédiaire du Chenal de Brouage. Les compagnes des deux années précédentes après un point zéro et une première année de mise en culture avaient fait apparaître, outre la présence d'insecticides rémanents, une dominance qualitative et quantitative des herbicides aussi bien dans l'eau que dans la matière vivante. Chaque année, des difficultés techniques différentes limitent l'information recueillie,...

Parmi les régions Ouest Européennes, la région Poitou Charentes se caractérise dans sa dimension économique par la présence d'activités où les cultures marines, l'agriculture et le tourisme occupent une place prédominante. Cette identité, partagée par d' autres régions, notamment atlantiques, s'appuie sur l'exploitation de la ressource hydrique et implique de plus en plus des critères de haute qualité tant vis à vis des produits finis agricoles, conchylicoles, touristiques que vis à vis de l'environnement, des paysages et des eaux. Sur cet ensemble de points la Région est dotée d'atouts indiscutables. Cependant les contraintes liées à la disponibilité de la ressource hydrique continentale comme marine et à son maintien à un bon niveau de qualité, font...

Autores: Ofori, J.K.
Ghana had an estimated per caput fishconsumption of 20 kg in 1993. The country'smain local sources of fish are marine catchesand, to some extent, inland fisheries from theVolta lake and rivers. Pond production formsan insignificant proportion of the national fishsupply, contributing only about 5 t.yearl.Catches from marine and inland capturefisheries have stagnated or declined in recentyears. Consequently, given high populationgrowth, fish availability will decline.

Autores: Brücher, W.
Ya hace casi cuatro decenios que penetran permanentemente colonos en el "piedemonte" meridional en la margen oriental de los Andes colombianos. La colonización de vastas regiones cubiertas de selva pluvial es ante todo la obra de pobres colonos espontáneos. El artículo trata de los métodos de la roza y de la cultivación del suelo, de las formas de agricultura, de la estructura de las poblaciones, de la circulación y del comercio en esta zona de colonización. Desde hace pocos años, su poblamiento es promovido efectivamente también por el Instituto Colombiano de la Reforma Agraria (INCORA).

Fungus-farming ants: state of art and future research directions
Provedor de dados: 190
Autores: Nickele, Mariane Aparecida; Pie, Marcio Roberto; Reis Filho, Wilson; Penteado, Susete do Rocio Chiarello.
The tribe Attini (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) comprises 14 genera with approximately 230 described ant species, which are engaged in an obligate mutualism with fungi. The fungus is cultivated inside their  colonies, using a variety of organic material as substrate. The fungus is used as food by the ants, and in return, the ants nourish, protect, and disperse their fungal cultivars. Although all species of this tribe cultivate fungi, attine ants are quite heterogeneous in relation to agricultural system, colony size and social structure, substrate preparation behavior, foraging behavior, etc. Agriculture, symbiosis and natural history traits of fungus-farming ants are discussed in this review, as well as future research directions.

Sampling frequency to estimate cumulative nitrous oxide emissions from the soil
Provedor de dados: 86
Autores: Nascimento,Alexandre Ferreira do; Rodrigues,Renato de Aragão Ribeiro.
Abstract: The objective of this work was to assess the influence of gas sampling frequency on the cumulative emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from the soil. Gas emissions were assessed over a period of two years (2014-2016), in four systems: eucalyptus forestry, crops, pasture, and native forest. The cumulative emissions of N2O were calculated at sampling intervals of 7, 14, and 21 days. The sampling intervals did not influence the final results of cumulative N2O emissions from the soil in the assessed systems.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the reliability of the physiological meaning of the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) data for the development of a remote sensing-based procedure to estimate soybean production prior to crop harvest. Time-series data from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (Modis) were applied to investigate the relationship between local yield fluctuations of soybean and the prevailing physically-driven conditions in the state of Mato Grosso, located in the south of the Brazilian Amazon. The developed methodology was based on the coupled model (CM). The CM provides production estimates for early January, using images from the maximum crop development period. Production estimates were validated at three...

Soil microorganisms and their role in the interactions between weeds and crops
Provedor de dados: 87
Autores: Massenssini,A.M.; Bonduki,V.H.A.; Melo,C.A.D.; Tótola,M.R.; Ferreira,F.A.; Costa,M.D.
The competition between weeds and crops is a topic of great interest, since this interaction can cause heavy losses in agriculture. Despite the existence of some studies on this subject, little is known about the importance of soil microorganisms in the modulation of weed-crop interactions. Plants compete for water and nutrients in the soil and the ability of a given species to use the available resources may be directly affected by the presence of some microbial groups commonly found in the soil. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are able to associate with plant roots and affect the ability of different species to absorb water and nutrients from the soil, promoting changes in plant growth. Other groups may promote positive or negative changes in plant...

Controlled Release of TBH Herbicide Encapsulated on Ca-ALG Microparticles: Leaching and Phytointoxication Plants
Provedor de dados: 87
Autores: MACEDO,D.F.; DOURADO JR.,S.M.; NUNES,E.S.; MARQUES,R.P.; MORETO,J.A.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to demonstrate a detailed study of the controlled release of the herbicide Tebuthiuron (TBH) encapsulated in microparticles of calcium alginate (Ca-ALG), to evaluate the phytotoxicity in different concentrations of herbicide (4, 6 and 8 g L-1), and their correlation with the depth of leaching using bioindicator plants. The Ca-ALG microparticles were prepared from the crosslinking of sodium alginate by Ca++ containing varied amounts of TBH supplied in calcium chloride (CaCl2) aqueous solution. The results showed that TBH herbicide, when encapsulated, leached to shallow depths relative to the conventional, non-encapsulated herbicide (which moved to a depth of 40-50 cm). The concentration of 4 g L-1 was the one that leached...

Multifunctional Agriculture and Domestic/International Policy Choice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blandford,   David; Boisvert,   Richard N.
The concept of multifunctionality, in which agriculture is viewed as a source of both commodity and non-commodity outputs, has stimulated debate on the desirability of further trade liberalization. We explore the economics of multifunctionality and its policy implications. We argue for a new policy approach in which land and natural resource managers are remunerated for positive non-commodity outputs and penalized for negative outputs. This would require devolution in policy implementation from the centre to the local level. Such an approach would permit countries to achieve broader social objectives, while at the same time continuing to pursue trade liberalization.

Food security for sub-Saharan Africa: does water scarcity limit the options?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gowing,   John W.
Future food security can be achieved only by delivering substantial increases in agricultural production, but this has important implications for water availability. Water scarcity is not currently a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa, but it would be a mistake to neglect this issue. It would be a mistake also to assume that only plans for irrigated agriculture are affected. It should be recognised that a land-use decision is also a water-use decision. A plan based on improving rain-fed agriculture through adoption of measures to make better use of rainfall brings trade-offs in that there may be less runoff to satisfy the water needs of downstream users and environmental functions. Planning for future food security requires integrated analysis of land-use...

Possible Implications for U.S. Agriculture From Adoption of Select Dietary Guidelines
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Buzby,   Jean C.; Wells,   Hodan Farah; Vocke,   Gary.
To help Americans meet nutritional requirements while staying within caloric recommendations, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole-grain products, and fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products. This report provides one view of the potential implications for U.S. agriculture if Americans changed their current consumption patterns to meet some of those guidelines. For Americans to meet the fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain recommendations, domestic crop acreage would need to increase by an estimated 7.4 million harvested acres, or 1.7 percent of total U.S. cropland in 2002. To meet the dairy guidelines, consumption of milk and milk products would have to increase by 66 percent; an increase of that...

Autores: Ulimwengu,   John M.; Badiane,   Ousmane.
The importance of health in promoting economic development has been forcefully stated by the World Health Organization’s Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. In this paper, we look at the impact of own household health expenses on malaria incidence and ultimately on agricultural efficiency. We use a non-parametric method to estimate agricultural efficiency, therefore avoiding the issue of identification of the proper household agricultural production function. In addition the simar-wilson approach followed in this paper accounts for bias induced by serial correlation among farmers. A Tobit model with endogenous health production function is used to estimate the impact of malaria incidence on agricultural efficiency. Data come from the 2006 National...

Antidumping and Market Power in the Agriculture Sector, with a Special Case Study of the Fresh Tomato Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Baylis,   Katherine R.
In this article we highlight the anticompetitive nature of antidumping (AD) legislation. Antidumping legislation was set up to protect domestic firms from predatory pricing by foreign firms. We argue that protecting highly concentrated industries drastically reduces competition at home. In cases where the industry consists only of one or two firms, import restriction may breed monopolies at the expense of domestic consumers. This article looks at cases filed by the agriculture sector, and at the market concentration of industries in this sector, to illustrate the above possibility. We study the case of fresh tomatoes in detail to further demonstrate the anticompetitive nature of AD legislation. We show the effect of AD legislation on imports, as well as...

This study sheds light on how study specific-characteristics impact mean technical efficiency (MTE) in Nigerian agriculture.  Also the paper extracts consensus message about MTE and its drivers in Nigerian agriculture based on studies covering the period 1999-2008. A meta-analysis using truncated regression was employed on a total of sixty four studies which yield eighty six observations for the econometric analysis. The regression results show that MTE in Nigerian agriculture increased significantly over the years. Study specific-characteristics such as sample size, number of inputs used as well as studies with focus on crop and livestock production were found to significantly impact MTE. Further analyses show that studies in the Northcentral, Southwest,...

Applying regression quantiles to farm efficiency estimation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kaditi,   Eleni A.; Nitsi,   Elisavet I.
This article is concerned with the methodological question of frontier production functions estimation for agriculture, and the appropriateness of regression quantiles, as a useful semi-parametric approach. Better insights are reached using the proposed methodology that provides robust farm efficiency scores estimates. Using the 2007 Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) data for Greece, analysis shows that the distribution of efficiency scores is closer to normality when employing regression quantiles, while underestimation of efficiency obtained by other parametric or deterministic methods based on the conditional mean can be avoided. The results further suggest that government support aimed at enhancing farms viability should be directed towards payments...

Biofuels, Growth and Agricultural Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Msangi,   Siwa.
Global projections for increasing food demand combined with increasing demand for energy from all sources – including crop-based biofuels – point towards greater stress on food systems and their supporting ecosystems. In many parts of the world, increasing household incomes has translated into increasing demands for energy, of which transportation fuel comprises a fast-growing share. Accompanying the world’s steady population growth is an increasing demand for food and the necessary feedstuffs to fuel the requisite increases in livestock production. The combination of these two trends will inevitably lead to greater stresses and demands on the natural resource base and eco-systems that underlie the world’s food and energy production systems – such as land...

Energy, Agriculture, and GHG Emissions: The Role of Agriculture in Alternative Energy Production and GHG Emission Reduction in North Dakota
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Aravindhakshan,   Sijesh C.; Koo,   Won W.
Energy, agriculture, and GHG emissions are highly interrelated. Several agricultural commodities are currently used as feedstock for biofuel production to replace fossil fuels. As the largest consumer of energy, the U.S. has taken several initiatives to reduce the use of fossil fuels, achieve energy security, and reduce GHG emissions. The industrial community of the U.S. invested heavily in biofuel and wind energy production. North Dakota has highest potential in producing wind energy and biomass from dedicated energy crops. Unfortunately these resources are not fully utilized for producing renewable energy. North Dakota is an energy intensive economy and per capita energy consumption is higher than other states.

One of the main problems facing all countries at the European agri-food market is achieving agricultural specialization. Such specialization can bring additional advantages with regard to differentiation in the markets. In this paper we seek to identify the sources of competitive advantages of agriculture in Central and East- European countries. The primary purpose of our research is to identify newly emerging patterns of regional specialization within and across these nations, and to examine their effects on agricultural productivity, regional competitive advantages and international trade patterns. We draw on various public data sources to analyze the patterns of geographic concentration. To determine the level of the concentration we use the following...

Thirty Years of Agricultural Transition in China (1977-2007) and the "New Rural Campaign"
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jia,   Xiangping; Fock,   Achim.
Agriculture in China has experienced a compelling growth in the early 1980s, a buoyant upbeat in the early 1990s, and an extended period of low growth after 1995. Decollectivization, mar-ket reforms, public investments and technology have played a critical role during this overall successful process. However, the transition has also led to increasing inequalities between the agricultural and non-agricultural population, and substantial institutional issues remain to be fully addressed. The Chinese government is now reemphasizing agriculture and rural develop-ment under its New Rural Campaign with the objective to address rural-urban inequalities, but a stronger emphasis on participation and tenure reforms is warranted.

DETERMINE THE KEY FACTORS OF THE AGRARIAN ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE 21TH CENTURY IN HUNGARY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Czarl,   Adrienn.
Economic growth is the top economic and political priority of world leaders. Countries with significant rate of development are higher ranked and serve as models for the developing countries and for the economies in transition.  As an EU member, Hungary needs to close up the gap also in case of the agriculture. After analysing the period 1994-2004 the major factor among supports influencing growth is investment subsidies ahead of current flow supports such as Supports to reduce the cost of agricultural production.  Irrespective of the alternating periods, the gradients established in the statistical analyses and the results from the study of elasticity along the period justify one of the basic tenets of modern economics: in order to achieve the bigger...

Multiple Criteria Decision Making: Method Selection And Application To Three Contrasting Agricultural Case Studies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dooley,   A.E.; Sheath,   Gavin W.; Smeaton,   D.
Agribusiness, farm business and agricultural-environmental decisions which varied in their characteristics were used to evaluate multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) in an agricultural context. This paper discusses differences between the case studies, strengths and weaknesses of the methods used, and the success of the MCDM process based on participants’ expectations and experiences. While MCDM can help identify the best decision, the main benefits identified in using MCDM included better understanding of their own and other’s perspectives, a means to explain the decision and a structured way to work through the decision process. Key problem areas identified included time limitations, understanding and ownership.

Tariff Escalation in the Doha Talks--Bringing the Issue to Resolution
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wainio,   John; Vanzetti,   David.
Development objectives dictate that the Doha negotiations address tariff escalation. This could increase the production and export of processed goods in developing countries, expand investment and employment, and reduce dependence on primary product exports. Despite its importance, little progress has been made, notwithstanding that a final resolution to the negotiations will not be possible without bringing this issue to resolution. This paper quantifies tariff escalation within WTO members' tariff schedules and the degree to which a tiered formula could address this problem. Utilizing a detailed partial equilibrium global agricultural trade model we estimate the possible gains to developing countries from reducing tariff escalation.

Potential Impacts of a Green Revolution in Africa – the Case of Ghana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Breisinger,   Clemens; Diao,   Xinshen; Thurlow,   James; Al-Hassan,   Ramatu M.
Agricultural growth in Africa has accelerated, yet most of this growth has been driven by land expansion. Land expansion potential is reaching its limits, urging governments to shift towards a green revolution type of productivity-led growth. Given the huge public investments required, this paper aims to assess the potential impacts of a green revolution. Results from a CGE model for Ghana show that green revolution type growth is strongly pro-poor and provides substantial transfers to the rest of the economy, thus providing a powerful argument to raise public expenditure on agriculture to make a green revolution happen in Africa.

Autores: Koester,   Ulrich; Brümmer,   Bernhard.
The paper emphasizes the importance of embedded institutions for the transformation of the agricultural sector and rural economies in the transition countries and identifies and analyses institutional aspects regarding agriculture and rural development common to the transition countries. It focuses on the institutional dimension of reform policies, i.e. on the political economy aspects of the transition process that were decisive for the success or failure of the reforms. The importance of identifying the “mental models” of various stakeholders during the transition process is emphasized and the reasons are explored why the transition process in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe has not resulted in a restructuring of the agricultural sector...

Does Agriculture Help Poverty and Inequality Reduction? Evidence from Vietnam
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Viet Cuong,   Nguyen.
This paper measures impacts of production of crops, forestry, livestock and aquaculture on household welfare, poverty and inequality in rural Vietnam using fixed-effects regressions. Data used in this paper are from Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys 2002 and 2004. It is found that impact estimates of the production of crops and forestry on per capita income and consumption expenditure are not statistically significant. Impact estimates of the livestock production are positive and statistically significant for per capita income, but not statistically significant for per capita expenditure. However, the aquacultural production has positive and statistically significant impacts on both income and expenditure. As a result, the aquacultural production...

With a population of about 1.1 billion, India is expected to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2030. India's economy ranks as Asia's third largest, after Japan and China, and is now one of the world's fastest growing. While growth has led to significant reductions in poverty, India still ranks among the world's low income countries in terms of income per capita. Nevertheless, economic growth has resulted in a burgeoning middle-class.  India's agriculture sector accounts for 18% of GDP, and employs around 60% of the workforce. Rice, wheat, cotton, oilseeds, jute, tea, sugarcane, milk and potatoes are India's major agricultural commodities. With its growing urban middle-class and increasing influence in global affairs, India's policies...

CHINA'S FOOD AND AGRICULTURE: ISSUES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Provedor de dados: 31
China's impact on world agricultural markets in coming decades will depend on many factors. Growing income and transition to modern urban lifestyles will increase demand for all foods, but demand will shift toward meat and high-value products. WTO accession may increase openness of China's agricultural trade and allow more imports. An understanding of geographic variations of consumption, production, trade, and policy is critical to understanding the vast China market. Development of transportation infrastructure and market channels will make it easier for food products to reach consumers. China's approach to biotechnology and its reform of institutions for allocating land, labor, and water inputs have important implications for agricultural productive...

Population and Sustainability: Understanding Population, Environment, and Development Linkages

Autores: Clay,   Daniel C.; Reardon,   Thomas.
The triple challenge of rapid population growth, declining agricultural productivity, and natural resource degradation are not isolated from one another; they are intimately related. However, strategic planning and development programming tend to focus on individual sectors such as the environment, agriculture, and population; they do not explicitly take into account the compatibilities and inconsistencies among them. Farm households and their livelihood strategies are at the core of the intersectoral linkages approach advocated in this chapter. Three key aspects of the population-environment-development debate are discussed: first, the finding that inconsistencies between public and individual household behavior regarding childbearing and family planning...

The economic sustainability of cropping systems in Indian Punjab: A farmers' perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Singh,   Sukhwinder; Park,   Julian R.; Litten-Brown,   Jennie.
Food for all continues to be a key issue, especially in the developing world where every fifth person is chronically undernourished. India, a fast growing developing country has also experienced serious food shortages for example in the mid 1960s. Punjab, a small northern Indian state has developed, particularly since the Green Revolution in the mid 1960s, to be a key agricultural area producing 13% of the food grains of India. Increased productivity brought economic benefits to farmers and led to the establishment of Wheat-Rice Cropping Pattern (WRCP) as the main agricultural system of Punjab which more recently has become reliant on underground water resources, agricultural machinery, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. More recently stagnating yields...

THE AGE OF CONTRACT AGRICULTURE: CONSEQUENCES OF CONCENTRATION IN INPUT SUPPLY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Harl,   Neil E.
Dramatic increases in concentration in the seed business, coupled with aggressive efforts to vertically integrate the agricultural sector and to institute contract-based production of commodities, have raised questions about the economic position of producers. Disparate positions of market power by highly concentrated input suppliers on the one hand (particularly seed suppliers because of control over germ plasm and a monopoly position over seed varieties through plant patents or plant variety protection certificates), and producers in nearly perfect competition on the other, suggest that the revenue division from production is likely to be redefined in favor of the party with the greater market and economic power. Possible solutions include aggressive...

Normative, systemic and procedural aspects: a review of indicator‐based sustainability assessments in agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Binder,   Claudia R.; Feola,   Giuseppe.
Several methods for assessing the sustainability of agricultural systems have been developed. These methods do not fully: (i) take into account the multi‐functionality of agriculture; (ii) include multidimensionality; (iii) utilize and implement the assessment knowledge; and (iv) identify conflicting goals and trade‐offs. This paper reviews seven recently developed multidisciplinary indicator‐based assessment methods with respect to their contribution to these shortcomings. All approaches include (1) normative aspects such as goal setting, (2) systemic aspects such as a specification of scale of analysis, (3) a reproducible structure of the approach. The approaches can be categorized into three typologies. The top‐down farm assessments focus on field or...

Why farmers continue to use pesticides despite environmental health and sustainability costs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wilson,   Clevo; Tisdell,   Clement A.
Use of chemical inputs such as pesticides have increased agricultural production and productivity.  However, negative externalities, too, have increased.  The externalities include damage to the environment, agricultural land, fisheries, fauna and flora.  Another major externality has been the unintentional destruction of beneficial predators of insects which has led to a virulence of many species of agricultural pests.  Mortality and morbidity among agricultural workers, especially in developing countries from exposure to pesticides, are also common.  The costs from these externalities are large and affect farmers’ returns.  However, despite these high costs, farmers continue to use pesticides and in increasing quantities.  In this paper, we examine this...

We investigate the relationships between water quality and socioeconomic factors in California at the county level for the years 1993 to 2006 using 24 water quality indicators coming from seven different types of water bodies. We estimate these relationships using three classes of models: the traditional per capita income-pollution level - Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) - specifications, a more inclusive model containing main socioeconomic variables such as agricultural intensity, land use, ethnic composition, population density and educational attainment, and a model that includes the socioeconomic variables while accounting for spatial correlations too. For most water quality indicators, we do not find support for EKC specifications. For pollutants...

Potential links between rural tourism and agriculture in the Northern Great Plain Region
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Szabo,   Bernadett; Posta,   Laszlo.
Agriculture has played and still plays a significant role in the life of rural communities and in rural development. But, because agriculture yields low revenues, agricultural workers often need a source of additional income. Agriculture combines excellently with the growing of medicinal herbs, organic farming, handicrafts and tourism. Rural tourism, as originally conceived, is a source of revenue to supplement income from agriculture. In Hungary, however, the ties between these two activities are very weak. Our current research is focused on assessing the willingness of land owners and agricultural entrepreneurs in the Northern Great Plain region to engage in rural tourism, as well as the willingness of rural hosts to start agricultural activities....

This report provides baseline projections for international supply, demand, and trade for major agricultural commodities to 2007. It is a companion report to USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections, providing the foreign country details supporting those projections. Projections of strong global economic growth, particularly in developing countries, combined with more open foreign markets and the emergence of China as a major bulk commodity importer, support strong projected gains in U.S. farm exports. The value of total U.S. agricultural exports is projected to rise from a record $57.3 billion in FY 1997 to nearly $85 billion in 2007. The projections were completed based on information available as of December 1997, and reflect a composite of model results...

Do Large Firms with More Technologies Pay More?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yu,   Li; Ji,   Yongjie.
Investigation of size wage premium in earning’s literature neglects the important role played by technology adoption. This study models the size selection corrected earning’s function by introducing an extra dimension of selection of technology complexity, using a sample from workers in US hog farms. The estimated wage gap between large and small farms is reduced once correction in selection is controlled. Workers compensate monetary income for better work environment, better health and more job security, in which large farms and technologically advanced farms have advantages.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH: BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF ALTERNATIVE FUNDING MECHANISM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.; Just,   Richard E.
The United States has developed a very successful R&amp;D system for agriculture.  It is a system with shared cost/financing and performance by the federal and state governments and by the private sector.  The paper presents an economic analysis of alternative organization, management, incentive, and funding mechanisms for agricultural research under budget constraints, including some emphasis on the kinds of benefits that are generated and the groups that receive them.  We conclude that the private sector should be permitted to carry out research that it finds profitable to undertake with minimal competition from the public sector.  The public research institutions should focus on general and pretechnology science programs that complement private R&amp;D...

Policy Choices about Agricultural Externalities and Sustainability: Diverse Approaches, Options and Issues
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
This paper reviews agricultural externalities as a source of market failure and as a reason for a lack of sustainability of agricultural incomes and production. It concentrates mainly on environmental externalities (which include biodiversity loss) but consideration is also given to externalities involving adverse selection. Types of agricultural externalities are classified and their nature is explored. Depending on their type and nature, different policy implications often follow. For example, no intervention may be required, or it may be reasonable for a farmer to have to pay to create an unfavourable externality or be paid to moderate or eliminate it. Adverse selection is also an externality phenomenon and some of its implications for agricultural...

The agri-food and other bio-based sectors in Spain. A description based on multiplier analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ferrari,   Emanuele; Cardenete,   Manuel Alejandro; Boulanger,   Pierre; Delgado,   M.C.; M'Barek,   Robert.
The turnover of the EU agri-food sector overtops 2,000 billion Euros a year and employs roughly 22 millions workers. The focus of this paper is on the sectors directly linked to agricultural production and the food industry. Having a comprehensive understanding of extended agri-food economic linkages is critical when designing pertinent policies to deliver the full potential of strong EU agri-food and other bio-based sectors. A more disaggregated view is required. This study stars from a Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) for Spain with a highly disaggregated agricultural sector (AgroSAMs) for the year 2000. This study uses the AgroSAMs in its entire disaggregation, in order to provide a descriptive analysis of the agri-food and bio-based sectors. The limits...

Estimating the Technical Optimal Scale of Production in Danish Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rasmussen,   Svend.
This paper uses representative farm account data for 1985-2007 to estimate stochastic production frontiers in the form of input distance functions for Danish crop, dairy and pig farms. The objective is to study and compare scale economies for the three farm types. The estimated technical efficiency is relatively constant over time for all three farm types, but the elasticity of scale differs. Although the size of all farm types has increased considerably during the last 20 years, more than 95 % of the crop farms and 85 % of the dairy and pig farms are still below the estimated technical optimal scale of production. The results support the hypothesis that the restrictions concerning the amalgamation of farms and the purchase of farm land have seriously...

Impact Of Greenhouse Gas Abatement Targets On Agricultural Activity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Donnellan,   Trevor; Gillespie,   Patrick; Hanrahan,   Kevin F.
As part of its continuing commitment to address the causes of climate change, the EU has agreed reduction targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be achieved by 2020. In the case of Ireland the target is a reduction of 20 percent relative to the 2005 level. Agriculture is a major source of GHG emissions in Ireland, comprising 26.8 percent of total GHG emissions in 2007. Understanding the scale and cost of the decrease in agricultural production required to achieve this reduction in GHG emissions is particularly important, as is the comparison of the cost of this approach with a range of possible other means of achieving emissions reductions in the sector. This study finds that, even with reduced fertiliser usage and more extensive production...

Imposing WTO disciplines on domestic support: an assessment of the Doha Round Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blandford,   David.
The elements of the approach to disciplining domestic support for agriculture in the Doha round of WTO negotiations are evaluated using data for a selection of OECD countries. Despite a substantial increase in complexity in comparison to the Uruguay Round Agreement, the new approach is unlikely to require real reductions in trade-distorting support. As a result it is unlikely to stimulate further reforms in domestic agricultural policies in OECD countries.

Potential Scrub Changes and Its Spatial Allocation under the New Zealand Emission Trading System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,   Wei; Power,   William; Kerr,   Suzi.
Under the New Zealand Emission Trading System (NZETS), post-1989 forestry land (the exotic or indigenous forest land that was not used for plantation on 31 December 1989) in New Zealand is eligible for reward for each tonne of CO2-eqv sequestrated by reverting from pasture to indigenous scrub. We use the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model to conduct 2 simulations assuming that one tonne of CO2-eqv costs $25; The reference case is that no one has entered the NZETS, the other scenario is that the whole agriculture sector and indigenous forest (but not plantation) have entered the ETS. Each simulation estimates the amount of land use changes in dairy, sheep-beef and scrub from 2008 to 2015. By comparing these simulations, we identify the current use...

Autores: Rocchi,   Benedetto; Romano,   Donato; Stefani,   Gianluca.
The paper presents the results of the first SAM analysis of the agricultural sector in Italy. A SAM of the Italian economy has been properly modified in order to focus the analysis on agriculture. Two type of analysis have been carried out: (i) a multiplier analysis, and (ii) an assessment of the distributive impacts of different agricultural policies. This paper proposes also a new method for disaggregating the institutional sectors and production factors in order to analyze income distribution within the economy, with special emphasis on the agricultural sector. Main results are: (i) "fully" decoupled income supporting schemes (transfers to agricultural households) are the most equitable interventions and determine a perfect targeting of the distributive...

Investing in Agriculture for Growth and Food Security in the ACP Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Skoet,   Jakob; Stamoulis,   Kostas G.; Deuss,   Annelies.
Countries in the ACP region will face significant challenges in the years to come as they try to step up economic growth, deal with increasingly integrated world markets and meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially those focused on hunger and poverty. These efforts will take place in the face of declining external assistance and many competing demands on resources. The analysis in the paper shows that agriculture and rural economic activities are essential for growth, poverty reduction and food security especially for the poorer countries in the region. However trends in public resource mobilisation for agriculture and rural development (in terms of both domestic spending and Official Development Assistance) do not reflect that important...

I select effective irrigated area, consumption of agricultural chemical fertilizer, electricity consumed in rural areas, and total power of agricultural machinery as input variables of China's agriculture; I select grain, bean, tobacco, oil-bearing crop and fruit as output variables of China's agriculture. By using the data of China Statistical Yearbook in 2010, based on the analysis method of canonical correlation, I conduct research on the input and output of China's agriculture. The results show that consumption of chemical fertilizer has the biggest impact on the agricultural output of China, followed by the input of total power of agricultural machinery; the canonical variable of agricultural output of China is mainly impacted by grain, oil-bearing...

In the last decade, the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia faced a severe drought which affected its agriculture production. Sustainable diversion limits as proposed in the Australian Government’s basin plan together with climate change is expected to impact on future agriculture production and development in the MDB. We developed a biophysical-economic mathematical model calibrated against the observed multi-period land use data utilising the positive mathematical programming (PMP) approach to evaluate the impacts on agricultural production activities of a range of climate events and policy options. This is an extension of our previous work where the model was calibrated against a single year and focus was on the southern MDB only. The multi-period...

The Pattern of Livelihoods in a Typical Rural Village Provides New Perspectives on Botswana's Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moepeng,   Pelotshweu T.; Tisdell,   Clement A.
Botswana’s average economic growth rate of about 8 per cent during 1985-2005 is one of highest in the world. A major contributor of this growth was mining which, in 2005/06, had a 41.4 per cent share of GDP. Various government welfare and empowerment programmes indicate that redistribution of the mineral wealth is widespread in Botswana. This article will show that the pattern of livelihoods in a typical rural village has changed and provide new perspectives on Botswana’s development. In particular, the article will show that contrary to expectations, agriculture is no longer a major source of income to the rural economy but income transfers from out migrants members of rural based households. It will also be shown that the proportion of the rural...

The Environment for Agricultural and Agribusiness Investment in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Landes,   Maurice R.
Despite strong overall economic growth and strengthening food demand, investment in Indian agriculture and agribusiness has remained sluggish, and growth in farm output has slowed, since the early 1990s. An array of policies and regulations affecting agricultural production, marketing, and food processing—along with weak infrastructure and a lack of market services—have discouraged private investment by farmers and large, vertically integrated agribusinesses. The policy environment has grown more investor friendly since the late 1990s and private investment appears to be responding, but significant barriers remain and the pace of future reforms remains uncertain.

The question of “evidence” in the emergence of evidence-based or evidence-aware policies in agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Laurent,   Catherine E.; Trouve,   Aurelie.
Evidence-based or evidence-aware policy approaches are used in many different sectors (health, education, etc.). These approaches are less common in agriculture but are gradually emerging. Analysis of debates surrounding this trend sheds light on the particular nature of the difficulties faced by public decision-makers who are willing to use available scientific knowledge. After examining certain misunderstandings which arise in the international debate over evidence-based policy approaches, this paper addresses two specific issues: (i) the problems of competing evidence for using knowledge in the design of public policies and (ii) the potential role of rationalization tools in a possible "depoliticisation" of public decision-making.

Economic Returns to Public Agricultural Research
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fuglie,   Keith O.; Heisey,   Paul W.
Over the last several decades, the U.S. agricultural sector has sustained impressive productivity growth. The Nation's agricultural research system, including Federal-State public research as well as private-sector research, has been a key driver of this growth. Economic analysis finds strong and consistent evidence that investment in agricultural research has yielded high returns per dollar spent. These returns include benefits not only to the farm sector but also to the food industry and consumers in the form of more abundant commodities at lower prices.

Youth Unemployment Challenges in Mining Areas of Ghana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sarfo-Mensah,   Paul; Adjaloo,   M.K.; Donkor,   P.
Ghana, like the rest of West Africa is experiencing tremendous human migration both internally and across international boundaries. Rural-urban migration has assumed uncontrollable dimensions in the sub-region and the social consequences have become major development challenge. In Ghana the mining communities have been at the receiving end for some time now. This study on the Obuasi Municipal Assembly (OMA) in the Ashanti region of Ghana explores the tremendous socioeconomic changes, especially demographic patterns as a result of the inflows of migrants into the Obuasi Township and its catchment area in search of non existing jobs especially in mining. A major outcome is the serious unemployment problem in the township with all the attendant social vices....

This is the case of many agricultural European Mediterranean basins, where water deficit during drought events is partially covered by illegal abstractions, mostly from aquifers, which are tolerated by the authorities. Groundwater overexploitation for irrigation has created in these areas an unprecedented environmental catastrophe that threatens ecosystems sustainability, urban water supply and the current model of development. Market-based drought insurance systems have the potential to introduce the necessary incentives to reduce overexploitation during drought events and...

Rural Poverty and China's Entry to WTO: Present Knowledge, Unresolved Issues and China's Policy Options
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Begins by considering trends in the incidence of rural poverty in China, comparing China and India. Although the incidence of rural poverty in China declined generally, such poverty is still a matter for concern, especially now that China has joined the WTO. There is concern about the possible impact of China’s WTO entry on its rural poverty and its ability to adopt policies to address it. Recent international studies of such poverty in China by bodies such as the World Bank, OECD, ADB and IFPRI are outlined and reviewed critically with these economic issues in mind. The most recent study by Anderson and others suggests that China’s agriculture will be forced to undertake more structural adjustment than forecast in earlier studies. The Chinese policies to...

A REVIEW OF FOOD SECURITY AND HUMAN NUTRITION ISSUES IN NEPAL
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shively,   Gerald E.; Gars,   Jared; Sununtnasuk,   Celeste.
Nepal faces multiple development challenges, including chronic and widespread food insecurity and adult and child malnutrition. Due to population growth, agricultural stagnation and a range of institutional failures, the threat of a serious food crisis in Nepal is substantial. The recent scaling back of WFP assistance means that food security conditions in some parts of Nepal will undoubtedly worsen in the near future. This paper presents a brief review of topics and available evidence regarding food security, malnutrition and related subjects in Nepal. It is intended to document important source material and provide an overview of topics for non-specialists or those moving into new areas of concern.

General Equilibrium Modelling Applied to Romania (GEMAR): Focusing on the Agricultural and Food Sectors
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Scrieciu,   Silviu Serban; Blake,   Adam.
Applied general equilibrium modelling represents a powerful tool for assessing future likely economic changes due to upcoming or hypothesised policy shocks such as those brought about by EU enlargement. It entails the main advantage of considering the complex simultaneous linkages, interactions and feedback effects between various sectors, institutions and factor resources within an economy, as well as the inter- and intra-industry trade links with other economies across the globe. This technical paper develops a general equilibrium model applied to Romania (GEMAR) with an emphasis on the agricultural and food processing activities. A simple simulation example is then given for illustrative purposes. More extensive use of GEMAR will be made in other...

The paper seeks to explore the opportunities created by climate change and mitigation efforts in agriculture sector in India for creating more, newer and better jobs. These new jobs which are termed as green jobs are not always going to be decent jobs and there is also uncertainty about the number of jobs so created vis-à-vis number of jobs destroyed in traditional fossil fuel based economy. Pivotal role played by agriculture in developing country's economy makes it ideal sector to study in this context. There is growing consensus that organic, sustainable agricultural practices can provide synergistic benefits that include adaptation and mitigation of climate change with addressing concerns like livelihood, employment and working conditions.

Economic Change and Environmental Issues: Policy Reforms and Concerns in Australian Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Since the closing years of the 1980s, Australia has adopted structural adjustment policies designed to foster economic liberalism based on the market system.  Today, there is little economic protection for Australian agriculture and Australia is a persistent advocate of free international agricultural trade.  The natural Australian environment is not very favourable for agriculture because of low and erratic levels of rainfall and poor soils.  Scarcity of water in Australia is growing and its use has become a major natural resource issue.  Water availability and use of water by Australian agriculture is discussed, its environmental impacts are considered and the scope for using market systems to allocate water effectively are discussed.

Environmental Issues of Agriculture: Social Perception Analysis in Southern Spain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Salazar-Ordonez,   Melania; Sayadi,   Samir.
Agriculture largely shapes the European ecosystems. Today the environmental social interest and the awareness that some farming practices destroy the natural environment is undeniable. Thus, the European decision maker’s emphasis on integrating social demands within the Common Agricultural Policy becomes unquestionable. In this context, this paper analyses: i) the degree of social compliance with soilerosion control from agriculture in Andalusia (southern Spain); ii) the degree of society’s concern about its agriculture; and iii)the respondent’s features that influence both perceptions.

Un approccio di governance multilivello per le politiche agricole  [A multi-level governance approach for agricultural policies]
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Baraldi,   Franco.
The world of agriculture which is defined as primary sector is almost unknown to most of the citizens and consumers and to all the scientists who are involved in social sciences. However agriculture provides interesting research questions to analyse in many multidisciplinary fields. Our study is focussed on the public and “semi-public” institutions at local, national and international level. The analysis of the agricultural policies involves the study of complex actors and actions in the context of the relationships between Italy and the European Union, and between the State and the Italian Regions (viz. The federalism reform). Within this institutional framework, agricultural policy plays a crucial role: the CAP (Community Agricultural Policy) for long...

EC Regulation 1257/99 of 17 May 1999 underlines the intention of the European Commission of an integrated rural development policy. In this paper the chances are examined that this new policy orientation offers for a more multifunctional agriculture. Possibilities for the implementation of integrated support measures at the interface of agriculture, environment and rural development are presented. First, functional relationships between agriculture and rural development are explored on the basis of three examples. This is followed by a more analytical section on relevant experiences, data and concepts. The significance of 'new', agriculture-related activities in rural areas is underlined.

Producer Preference for Land-Based Biological Carbon Sequestration in Agriculture: An Economic Inquiry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jiang,   Yong; Koo,   Won W.
This study was intended to develop an understanding of producer preference for land-based carbon sequestration in agriculture. We conducted a mail survey to elicit producer choice to provide marketable carbon offsets by participating in different carbon credit programs characterized by varying practices. Based on a quantitative analysis, we found that: 1) the market price for carbon offsets could increase producer participation in carbon sequestration; 2) producers perceived differentially different but correlated private costs for adopting carbon sequestering practices, depending on production attributes; and 3) relatively high carbon prices would be needed to stimulate producer provision of carbon offsets by land-based carbon sequestration activities.

Public resources are limited and have competing demands, hence prioritization will be critical. Policymakers want to know what public spending on agriculture sector will have the largest impact on the poor and how the resources should be allocated among the different sub-sectors. This brief examines the SADC region’s progress toward meeting the commitments made by African Heads of State and Government in the 2003 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security to allocate at least 10 percent of national budgetary resources to agricultural sectors. Further, to build understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing governments as they strive to meet this target, the results of case studies of public expenditures on agriculture in Malawi and...

Russia’s cereal markets: current trends, changes in net-trade position, and policy implications
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Muller,   Marc; Wehrheim,   Peter.
This paper provides an overview of the most recent developments on Russian cereal markets. A review of annual statistics on domestic production, trade, consumption, and storage of cereals reveals that the improvement in Russia’s net trade position cannot only be explained by increased productivity of grain producers. Exhausted storage capacities and lowered real trade costs after the devaluation of the Russian rouble in 1998 seem to have contributed to these developments. A computable general equilibrium model for Russia based on 1999 data was used for analyzing various economic developments and policy changes. The model simulations show that market protection in the short run, when the flexibility of labor and capital is restricted, may benefit Russian...

FARM COMPUTER ADOPTION IN THE GREAT PLAINS

Autores: Hoag,   Dana L.; Ascough,   James C.; Frasier,   W. Marshall.
Computers change rapidly, yet the last survey on computer use in agriculture was in 1991.  We surveyed Great Plains producers in 1995 and used logit analysis to characterize adopters and non-adopters.  About 37% of these producers use computers which is consistent with the general population.  We confirmed previous surveys emphasizing the importance of education, age/experience, and other farm characteristics on adoption.  However, we also found that education and experience may no longer be a significant influence.  Future research and education could focus on when and where computers are most needed, and therefore when adoption is most appropriate.

Triggers, Remedies, and Tariff Cuts: Assessing the Impact of a Special Safeguard Mechanism for Developing Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Grant,   Jason H.; Meilke,   Karl D.
The WTO negotiations broke down on July 30th, 2008 because members could not bridge their differences over the operation of a Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM). This article evaluates the latest SSM proposal using the world wheat market as our case study. Whether low-income WTO members should be allowed to breach their pre-Doha bound tariffs is a key element of our analysis. The SSM leads to sizeable additional duties but is not very trade distorting, even when pre-Doha bound rates are breached. Moreover, the extent to which low-income countries should be allowed to exceed pre-Doha bound rates depends heavily on the product under consideration, the ambition of the tariff cutting exercise, and the gap between members’ bound and applied tariffs.

Autores: Laurent,   Catherine E.; Berriet-Solliec,   Marielle; Kirsch,   Marc; Labarthe,   Pierre; Trouve,   Aurelie.
Various theoretical models of public policy analysis are used to treat situations of decision-making in which public deciders have to take into account the multifunctionality of agriculture. For some, science-society relations are not really problematical. Others acknowledge the current attempts of these policy-makers to find adequate scientific knowledge, and the difficulties they encounter. These difficulties stem partly from the very content of knowledge produced by research. Could other modes of production be more efficient? The status of the knowledge produced by these approaches is a subject of debate. Bridging the divide between science and policy more effectively is not only a question of knowledge brokerage. Accessibility and reliability of the...

Global Macroeconomic Developments and Poverty

Autores: Bonilla,   Eugenio Diaz.
In the second half of the 1990s, a series of developments led to a renewed academic and policy interest in the intersection of macroeconomic policy and poverty issues in developing countries. The focus of that work was domestic macroeconomic policies. This paper, however, focuses on the international dimension and discusses the links between global macroeconomic conditions and poverty in developing countries since the 1960s. Of course, when analyzing policy impacts, both domestic and international aspects must be considered. However, debates about domestic policies, macro or otherwise, and their impacts on poverty cannot provide an accurate analysis of developing countries’ alternatives and predicaments if they ignore the role, in many cases overwhelming,...

Why Don't Lenders Finance High-Return Technological Change in Developing-Country Agriculture?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blackman,   Allen.
Most of the literature attributes credit constraints in small-farm developing-country agriculture to the variability of returns to investment in this sector. But the literature does not fully explain lenders. reluctance to finance investments in technologies that provide both higher average and less variable returns. To fill this gap, this article develops an information-theoretic credit market model with endogenous technology choice. The model demonstrates that lenders may refuse to finance any investment in a riskless high-return technology--regardless of the interest rate they are offered--when they are imperfectly informed about loan applicants, time preferences and, therefore, about their propensities to default intentionally in order to finance...

Risk and De-Collectivisation: Evidence from the Czech Republic
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bezemer,   Dirk J.
The replacement of wage-labour farms by family farms in Central and Eastern Europe during the transformation has been more limited than was initially expected. In this paper a formal framework is developed in order to analyse the behaviour of family farms and socialist-style farms in the presence of risk, given the typical post-socialist environment. Management incentives, ownership structure, lump-sum transfers and consumption choices are shown to have the potential to limit the size of family farms relative to socialist-style farms. The hypotheses are tested with survey data collected by the author in the Czech Republic.

This paper examines state agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) data, 1950-1982, for evidence of convergence, i.e., TFP growth rates of the future are inversely related to the TFP level at the starting data.  After finding evidence of convergence, the paper examines the contributions of public and private R&amp;D to convergence and presents implications for a more efficient organization of public agricultural research.  For example, we find that increasing a states own investment in public agricultural research reduces the rate of TFP convergence but larger public investments in surrounding areas that potentially spillin increase the rate of convergence.  Also, the results imply that the average rate of convergence in our best fitting model is about...

Much water has flowed under the bridge since ministers failed to conclude world trade negotiations in July 2009. The world underwent an historical recession brought about by the U.S. financial toxic asset scandal. Global trade has declined sharply and is forecasted to decline by 9% in real terms in 2009. World economic growth rates have declined dramatically. There have been several cases of covert (and some overt) protectionism by both developed and advanced economies. Despite declarations from world leaders on several occasions for the need to refrain from protectionist measures and the need for the resumption and conclusion of the Doha Round of trade negotiations over the past nine months, no such action has materialized. The two major contestants in...

But, the economic potential is limited by the dynamic process of saturation and the opportunity cost of land use change. In addition, this article shows that permanence cannot, in general, be achieved in the strict sense of maintaining the soil carbon stock on an increased equilibrium level. Rather, a cyclical pattern with periodical release of sequestered carbon can be economically optimal from both the farmers’ and societal point of view.

Philippine Rice and Rural Poverty: An Impact Analysis of Market Reform Using CGE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cororaton,   Caesar B.
This paper looks at how Philippine trade reform which consists of tariff reduction and elimination of quantitative restrictions (QR) on rice imports will affect poverty within two world trade scenarios: Doha and free world trade. The impact of Doha is very small and generates biased effects against agriculture. The impact of Philippine trade reform within the Doha agenda magnifies this biased effect, making rural households worse-off compared to urban households. However, eliminating rice QR generates a set of effects where consumer price reduction dominates nominal income decline. Thus, real income improves and poverty declines across household groups, but the net effects are lower in rural than in urban households. The impact of a free world trade...

Greener Acres or Greener Waters? Potential U.S. Impacts of Agricultural Trade Liberalization
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Johansson,   Robert C.; Cooper,   Joseph C.; Vasavada,   Utpal.
This paper examines the elimination of all agricultural policy distortions in all trading countries and agricultural production decisions in the United States, as well as subsequent environmental quality in the presence and absence of nondegradation environmental standards. The results suggest that trade liberalization has the potential to increase domestic production and boost agricultural returns by as much as 8.5 percent. Consumer surplus would likely fall, and the discharge of nutrients, sediment, and pesticides would likely increase. However, environmental policies can limit these adverse environmental impacts and mute the potential decrease in consumer surplus, while leaving increased returns to agricultural production.

Are Staple Foods Becoming More Expensive For Urban Consumers In Eastern And Southern Africa? Trends in Food Prices, Marketing Margins, and Wage Rates in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mason,   Nicole M.; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Donovan,   Cynthia; Chapoto,   Antony.
The world food and financial crises threaten to undermine the real incomes of urban consumers in eastern and southern Africa. This study investigates patterns in staple food prices, wage rates, and marketing margins for urban consumers in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia between 1993 and 2009. There is high correlation among wage rate series for various government and private sector categories. We find that average formal sector wages rose at a faster rate than retail maize meal and bread prices in urban Kenya and Zambia between the mid-1990s and 2007. Although the 2007/08 food price crisis partially reversed this trend, the quantities of staple foods affordable per daily wage in urban Kenya and Zambia during the 2008/09 marketing season were still...

A Strategic Perspective on the Impact of Food Safety Standards on Developing Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Henson,   Spencer J.; Jaffee,   Steven.
This paper explores the competing concepts of 'standards as barriers' and standards as catalysts' in the context of food safety standards in international trade in agricultural and food products.  It is suggested that food safety standards can act as both a barrier to trade and the basis of competitive positioning for developing countries in international markets.  This suggests that the application of a strategic framework to analyze and assess alternative responses to evolving food safety standards can throw some light on the circumstances under which standards act to prohibit trade or, alternatively, create competitive trade opportunities.  The use of such a framework is illustrated through a brief case study of fish and fishery product exports from...

Farm Productivity and Efficiency in Rural Bangladesh: The Role of Education Revisited
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Asadullah,   M. Niaz; Rahman,   Sanzidur.
This paper reassesses the debate over the role of education in farm pro duction in Bangladesh using a large dataset on rice producing hous eholds from 141 villages. Average and stochastic production frontier functions are estimated to ascertain the effect of education on productivity and efficiency. A full set of proxies for farm education stock variables are incorporated to investigate the 'internal' as well as 'external' returns to education. The external effect is investigated in the context of rural neighborhoods. Our analysis reveals that in addition to raising rice productivity and boosting potential output, household education significantly reduces production inefficiencies. However, we are unable to find any evidence of externality benefit of...

Agricultural Export Diversification in Latin America and the Caribbean
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Taylor,   Timothy G.; Francis,   Brian.
Agriculture, in general, and agricultural exports in particular, have long been critical to economic growth and development in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).  Despite the importance of agriculture to the region and the vast amount of resources devoted to the promotion of agricultural export diversification in LAC, there has been virtually no research undertaken to assess the degree to which the agricultural export structures in LAC countries have in fact diversified.  Using disaggregate data on agricultural exports over the 1961-2000 period for 10 LAC countries, entropy-based measures of diversification are computed and analyzed.  The empirical results show that the post-1985 period has witnessed some degree of agricultural export diversification...

The Rio Grande has headwaters in Colorado, flows through New Mexico, and serves as the United States.–Mexico border in Texas, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. Snow melt in Colorado and northern New Mexico constitutes the water river supply for New Mexico and the El Paso region, whereas summer monsoonal flow from the Rio Conchos in Mexico and tributaries, including the Pecos River, provides the Rio Grande flow for southern Texas. The region is mostly semiarid with frequent long-term drought periods but is also characterized by a substantial irrigated agriculture sector and a rapidly growing population. International treaties and interstate compacts provide the rules for allocation of Rio Grande waters between the United States and Mexico and among...

Modelling Climate Change and Agricultural Production in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): In Quest of Statistics
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koffi-Tessio,   Egnonto M.
Climate change is a natural and dynamic phenomenon resulting from complex interrelationships between physical, environmental and human factors. The sustainability of life on earth depends partly on the ability of mankind to maintain this natural and balanced flow of such gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor traping heat. Unfortunately, human beings contribute significantly to the presence of such gases known as Green House Gases (GHGs) through agricultural and industrial activities. The implications are the excess trap of sunlight and the blocking of outward radiation. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the importance of agriculture cannot be stressed enough given that it is central to economic growth and most of economic activities in the region...

Potential Economic Effects of Post-CRP Land Management in Southwest North Dakota

The uncertain future of the Conservation Reserve Program has created substantial interest for agricultural producers, rural businesses, community leaders, sportsmen, and wildlife organizations. Many regions of the upper Great Plains have participated heavily in the CRP as evidenced by program acreage reaching land enrollment limits; however, current enrollment and re-enrollment criterion are expected to substantially reduce CRP acreage in many parts of the Great Plains. The divergence of interests between pursing post-CRP lands for agricultural production versus retaining the wildlife habitat and wildlife populations supported on CRP lands presents land owners and agricultural producers with important land management decisions over the next several years....

Agricultural research and productivity growth in India

India’s investments in agricultural research, extension, and irrigation have made it one of the largest publicly funded systems in the world. But some policymakers who perceive that the benefits to research may be declining are advocating a cut back on public spending on research. This research report, which examines the effects of research and development on productivity in India, finds that India is still benefiting from these investments. The main sources of agricultural productivity growth in India during 1956–87 were public agricultural research and extension; expansion of irrigated area and rural infrastructure and improvement in human capital were also important contributors. The report also shows that the public benefits from private research can...

China’s Agricultural Modernisation Program: an assessment of its sustainability and impacts in the case of the high-value beef chain
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Waldron,   Scott A.; Brown,   Colin G.; Longworth,   John W.
China has embarked on a major program to modernise agricultural and agribusiness structures with far reaching implications for rural development, international competitiveness / trade and food safety. There are, however, few studies that examine in detail how the modernisation program has proceeded, its’ sustainability and impacts. This paper aims to provide such as assessment through a series of integrated budget analyses of participants in the modern, high value beef chain. The paper concludes that rather than attempting to skip development phases by fast-tracking the development of modern structures in high-value agrifood chains, China should pursue a more incremental and facilitative approach based around developing structures in mid-value agrifood...

The commercialization of Agriculture is the cornerstone on economic development in the most developing countries. Yet relatively little is known about the income and nutritional effects of increasing commercial Agriculture. The present study by Eileen Kennedy and Bruce Cogill is the first in a series of studies conducted by IFPRI in Africa, Asia, and Central America to assess the effects of the commercialization of Agriculture on production, consumption, and nutrition status.  In 1983 IFPRI was invited by the government of Kenya to undertake a study of the production and consumption effects of a smallholder sugarcane contracting scheme in Southwestern Kenya. The resulting study is unusual because it uses a random sample of farmers at various stages of...

This paper presents promising methodologies for modeling and quantifying nontariff barriers (NTB) to trade in the agricultural and food sectors. We limit the analysis to sanitary, phytosanitary, and technical regulations that can have an impact on trade and to methods that provide some quantitative estimates of the impact of such barriers on market equilibrium, trade flows, economic efficiency, and welfare. Given the heterogeneous nature of these regulations, a unifying methodology does not exist. Quantification of the effects of such measures has focused on a particular product and has relied on methods that belong to different fields of the economic literature. We provide a concise description and evaluation of the various methods available for a more...

Agricultural Risk Aversion Revisited: A Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gomez-Limon,   Jose Antonio; Riesgo,   Laura; Arriaza Balmón,   Manuel.
In modelling farm systems it is widely accepted that risk plays a central role. Furthermore, farmers' risk aversion determines their decisions in both the short and the long run. This paper presents a methodology based on multiple criteria mathematical programming to obtain relative and absolute risk aversion coefficients. We rely on multiattribute utility theory (MAUT) to elicit a separable additive multiattribute utility function and then estimate the risk aversion coefficients and apply this methodology to an irrigated area of Northern Spain. The results show a wide variety of attitudes to risk among farmers, who mainly exhibit decreasing absolute risk aversion (DARA) and constant relative risk aversion (CRRA).

Food Chain Actors’ Perceptions of and Adaptations to Volatile Markets: Results of a Media Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: von Davier,   Zazie; Heyder,   Matthias; Theuvsen,   Ludwig.
The volatility of agricultural markets has increased remarkably in recent years. In spite of this, the way in which supply chain actors perceive market volatility has only rarely been analyzed. This paper seeks to close this research gap by presenting empirical findings about how the volatility of agricultural markets is perceived, how increasing market volatilities are being explained, and what adaptations to the volatile external environments are being suggested. Based on a large‐scale media analysis, we have identified perceptions, which vary greatly over time, especially with regard to the perception of the threats and opportunities volatility creates for farms and firms and the most frequently identified reasons for volatile prices.

The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of farm-level data collected in a survey of 464 Polish farms in 2000. Performance indicators of farms in three Polish voivodships are compared with farm accountancy data from two German Länder. The results show that Polish farms are much less profitable than their German counterparts. The gap in income levels is much higher between persons employed in the agricultural sector than between average working persons in the two countries. Living standards of the Polish farm population in the north-west exceed those in the south-east of the country. The analysis suggests that the lower profitability of farms has two major reasons. First, farms in the German regions receive much higher levels of subsidies. Second,...

The purpose of this document is to describe the features of the MTO covering the period 2010 to 2020. The MTO is a plausible future for the international and domestic agri-food sectors based on current policies in Canada and other countries as of Fall 2010. It serves as a benchmark for discussion and scenario analysis.  The outlook makes specific assumptions and outlines their implications. Since it assumes that policies remain unchanged from existing legislation, the outlook is not a forecast of future events. In particular there are no assumptions made regarding the outcome of the Doha round of trade negotiations. It also assumes no impact from climate change and from policy to mitigate climate change nor significant animal disease outbreaks or unusual...

The Beginning Farmers’ Problem In Canada
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pouliot,   Sebastien.
Concerns about beginning farmers in Canada derive from trends in data that show that the population of farmers and the number of young farmers are declining. This paper discusses and analyses issues regarding the constraints and opportunities beginning farmers in Canada face. The discussion covers whether issues peculiar to beginning farmers are, from an economic policy point of view, a source of concern and whether there are motives for government intervention. The main conclusions are 1) the decline in the number of farms in Canada responds to economic forces, 2) the price of fixed assets constitutes the main barrier to entry and 3) government support to entry in agriculture would have a negligible effect on the number of farms and the entry of new farms.

Dirty Tariffication Revisited: The EU and Sugar
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Swinbank,   Alan.
It is widely believed that a number of countries, including the EU, engaged in dirty tariffication during the Uruguay Round of trade talks. This article examines the EU’s record on sugar and finds little evidence to substantiate the claim. However, world prices increased between the base period (1986-88) and the date of implementation (1995), and so tariffication resulted in an increase in the tax that would have been charged on sugar imports into the EU. As well, the Special Safeguard provisions meant that a substantial additional levy could be charged.

Antidumping Duties in the Agriculture Sector: Trade Restricting or Trade Deflecting
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kassam,   Shinan; Malhotra,   Nisha.
The key issues on the negotiation table in the agriculture sector are the elimination of export subsidies, a progressive reduction of tariffs and reduction in domestic support. However, it is observed that trade liberalization often involves moving from one set of distortions to another rather than a movement to free trade.   More specifically, in the case of trade liberalization in manufacturing, countries have replaced lower tariffs with antidumping duties (ADD).  Feinberg and Olson (2005) empirically show that countries that agreed to larger tariff reductions under the Uruguay Round are more likely to use AD statutes to protect their domestic industries.  Thus if the use of ADD in agriculture are effective as a trade barrier (that is there is little...

The method is outlined using the empirical case of agricultural production in floodplains of the UK over 28 years. A quasi-experimental approach to measure differences in the risk attitudes of farmers located in high flooding risk areas versus farmers located in low flooding risk areas is followed. Changes in flooding risk related behaviour over time is analysed and marginal effects of different individual and disaster related characteristics for this behaviour are investigated. Beside a moments based risk estimation approach the...

SETTING EFFICIENT INCENTIVES FOR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH: LESSONS FROM PRINCIPAL-AGENT THEORY II
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.; Just,   Richard E.
This paper presents one of the first systematic treatments of economic incentives in the management of academic research and major inefficiencies in common funding mechanisms.  Building on well-known but unusual attributes of research whereby the research payoff is only the   “"best”" of scientists'’ outputs, payoffs are highly uncertain, asymmetric information exists on scientists'’ effort, and scientists'’ are more risk averse than administrators, we consider how incentives should be structured to elicit optimal research effort and payoffs using a principal-agent model with heterogenous ability across scientists.  We then conduct a systematic analysis of the implications from the model for the three major forms of agricultural experiment station...

Modeling the Effects of Cap and Trade and a Carbon Offset Policy on Crop Allocations and Farm Income
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nalley,   Lawton Lanier; Popp,   Michael P.
A static, producer profit maximization framework is used to capture county level land use choice on the basis of profitability, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the farm gate as well as soil carbon sequestration as affected by tillage and soil type.  Policy scenarios of a 5% GHG cap on agricultural emissions in conjunction with a carbon offset payment system, designed to provide producer payments for net carbon footprint (GHG emissions – soil carbon sequestration) reductions compared to a baseline are evaluated to determine potential changes to land use and or producer income as a result of different policy scenarios.  Results suggest that a policy solely targeted at emissions can be counterproductive in the sense that acreage reductions of more...

A magyar mezőgazdaság finanszírozásának főbb elemei a pénzügyi válságban
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kemeny,   Gabor.
Kutatásunk eredményeként megállapítottuk, hogy a mezőgazdasági finanszírozás fontosabb csatornái a közvetlen banki finanszírozás és a közvetett banki finanszírozás. Ez utóbbinál a bank nem közvetlenül a termelőt, hanem egy köztes szervezetet, leggyakoribb esetben lízingcéget, faktoringcéget vagy integrátort finanszíroz. A nem-banki finanszírozás legfontosabb szereplői pedig a mezőgazdasági inputanyag-gyártók, a szállítók. A pénzügyi válság, amely 2008 őszén érte utol Magyarországot, jelentősen eltérő hatást gyakorolt az egyes mezőgazdasági finanszírozási csatornákra. Míg a jellemzően külföldi tulajdonosi körrel rendelkező hazai bankok közvetlen ügyfélkörüket (bár szigorúbb feltételekkel) hajlandóak voltak folyamatosan finanszírozni (sok esetben a kieső...

The Carbon Challenge for Mixed Enterprise Farms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kingwell,   Ross S.
As part of its climate change policy the Australian government has introduced a Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET) scheme and is also attempting to introduce a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). Using as a case study a main agricultural region of Australia, this paper examines how farming systems in this region may be affected by the medium term policy settings of these two schemes. A bio-economic model of the region’s farming systems is developed and used to assess the schemes’ impacts on the nature and profitability of the farming systems. Results show a range of profit and enterprise impacts across the range of farming systems. Farms as providers of biomass for electricity generation and small users of electricity are liable to benefit from...

Coping Strategies against El Nino-Induced Climatic Risk: Case of Northeast Thailand
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mekhora,   Thamrong.
This second phase of the study is expected to produce actual and accurate information concerning socio-economic information and measures to cope with the El Nino effects at the farm level. Evidence of abnormal weather was apparent in Thailand in 2001 when the rain was less than the previous years' and the high temperatures were from January to March 2002. However, the rain came early in May 2002. Thus, the period of 2001 is suitable to represent an abnormal year for the study of the second phase of the project. The objectives of the second phase are to analyze and evaluate drought impacts at farm-household level, farmer's responses and government measures to overcome the problems. The research was conducted in two different provinces, namely Lop Buri in...

Enhancing Sustainable Development of Diverse Agriculture in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Singh,   R.P.; Singh,   N.P.; Kumar,   Ranjit.
Agriculture in India occupies an important place as it contributes nearly 25 per cent of GDP and two-thirds of the population depend upon it. Agricultural growth in the past has been sufficient to move from severe food crisis to aggregate food surplus today. The rainfed regions are diverse in terms of resource base, varying from resource rich regions harnessing substantial production to resource poor regions with restricted potential. These resource poor regions are mostly dominated by secondary crops. Barring maize and potato, secondary crops are loosing ground against the finer cereals, cash and commercial crops. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a leverage to these crops by providing support in terms of technological advancement and policy...

Results from a pilot application of Defra’s segmentation model applied to the Farm Business Survey for England are presented. Interviews with 750 FBS co-operators during 2010, using a discursive approach, classified co-operators into one of five segmentation groups: Custodians (14.0%); Lifestyle Choice (7.2%); Pragmatists (53.3%); Modern Family Business (21.1%); Challenged Enterprises (4.4%). On average, Modern Family Businesses operated the largest land area, achieved the greatest farm financial (and agricultural) output, and Farm Business Income (FBI), whilst the Lifestyle Choice segment returned the lowest average FBI. Variation in regional tendencies across the segmentation groups was observed, with variation also noted for forms of business, LFA and...

Autores: McCartney,   Matthew P.; Rebelo,   Lisa-Maria; Senaratna Sellamuttu,   Sonali; De Silva,   Sanjiv.
In many places, growing population, in conjunction with efforts to increase food security, is escalating pressure to expand agriculture within wetlands. The environmental impact of wetland agriculture can have profound social and economic repercussions for people dependent on ecosystem services other than those provided directly by agriculture. If wetlands are not used sustainably, the functions which support agriculture, as well as other food security and ecosystem services, are undermined. This report synthesizes findings from multidisciplinary studies conducted into sustainable wetland agriculture by IWMI and partners in Africa and Asia. It highlights the value of wetland agriculture for poverty reduction as well as the need for more systematic planning...

AN OVERVIEW OF IMMIGRATION AND THE CHANGING FACE OF RURAL CALIFORNIA: THE CENTRAL SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.
This paper examines the aggregate performance of California agriculture relative to Florida and U.S. agriculture, 1960-1993, the economics of the California raisin grape industry which uses large quantities of migratory labor for the grape harvest, and schools and schooling of farm workers'’ children in the Parlier area.  The major conclusions are that the labor intensity of California (and Florida) agriculture has fallen much less than for the whole U.S., the raisin grape industry of the Central San Joaquin Valley is struggling due to labor availability and prospects of greater foreign competition, and schooling is one of the most promising routes to a better life for the children of adult farm workers.

Determinants of African farmers’ strategies for adapting to climate change: Multinomial choice analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hassan,   Rashid M.; Nhemachena,   Charles.
This study analyzed determinants of farm-level climate adaptation measures in Africa using a multinomial choice model fitted to data from a cross-sectional survey of over 8000 farms from 11 African countries. The results indicate that specialized crop cultivation (mono-cropping) is the agricultural practice most vulnerable to climate change in Africa. Warming, especially in summer, poses the highest risk. It encourages irrigation, multiple cropping and integration of livestock. Increased precipitation reduces the probability of irrigation and will benefit most African farms, especially in drier areas. Better access to markets, extension and credit services, technology and farm assets (labor, land and capital) are critical for helping African farmers adapt...

The Impact of Alternative Market Orientation Strategies on Firm Performance: Customer versus Competitor Orientation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Micheels,   Eric T.; Gow,   Hamish R.
Research studies have differed over the importance of the relative emphasis of a customer versus competitor orientation in the development of a market orientation (Slater and Narver, 1994; Tajeddini, 2010).  In this study, we assess whether the emphasis of one component over another of a market orientation is an important determinant of firm performance within the Illinois beef industry, specifically the cow-calf sector.  Using a series of OLS regressions, we examine the importance of a market orientation, relative emphasis, learning, innovativeness, and a cost focus on firm performance.  Our results suggest that a market orientation is an important determinant of firm performance while the relative emphasis of customer versus competitor orientation is not...

Policy Responses to 2008 High Food Prices: Domestic Incentives and Global Implications
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Woolverton,   Andrea E.; Kiawu,   James.
Global food commodity price inflation beginning in 2006 and continuing through mid-2008 became a priority concern for global consumers, producers and policy-makers alike.  In response, many governments across the world implemented policies targeting high food commodity prices in their domestic markets.  These policy responses were concentrated in lower income countries and primarily targeted rice and wheat. The 2007-08 policy responses across countries included liberalized import tariffs, export restrictions and increased domestic support for both consumers and producers.   We develop a case study of 15 major global trading, lower-income countries’ policy responses .  The analysis addressed the following questions: a) What policy responses did major global...

Exports have been an integral and essential feature of the agriculture and food industry in Alberta. This is a product of the province’s relatively low population and consumption base on the demand side juxtaposed with a large resource base of prime agriculture land for crop production and an abundance of range and pasture for grazing and forage for raising livestock on the supply side. A host of factors influence the disposition of surplus production or exports including global supply/demand balances, relative cost/price relations, structural changes through farm consolidation and scale economies, market access, exchange rates, sanitary and phyto‐sanitary standards and regulations, disease and pest related issues. The inherent nature of agriculture means...

Land use policies and practices for reducing vulnerability in rural Tajikistan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lerman,   Zvi; Wolfgramm,   Bettina.
Tajikistan, with 93% of its surface area taken up by mountains and 65% of its labor force employed in agriculture, is judged to be highly vulnerable to risks, including climate change risks and food insecurity risks. The article examines a set of land use policies and practices that can be used to mitigate the vulnerability of Tajikistan’s large rural population, primarily by increasing family incomes. Empirical evidence from Tajikistan and other CIS countries suggests that families with more land and higher commercialization earn higher incomes and achieve higher well-being. The recommended policy measures that are likely to increase rural family incomes accordingly advocate expansion of smallholder farms, improvement of livestock productivity, increase...

Potentieller Beitrag der Landwirtschaft zur Verminderung der Treibhausgasemissionen in Deutschland
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wegener,   Jens Karl; Lucke,   Wolfgang; Heinzemann,   Jorg.
In 2002, the German agricultural sector contributed 8.7 % of the total national green house gas emissions. The main sources were animal digestion, manure management and agricultural soils. From the technical point of view, the manure management has the biggest potential of green house gas reduction by using biogas technology. Thereby methane emission from manure, which otherwise had been emitted into the atmosphere, can be recaptured and used to substitute fossil fuels. Regarding the whole output of manure from cattle and swine in Germany, the emission reduction is 56 Mio. t CO2-equivalent. This amount is equivalent to 4.5% of the emissions in 1990/95 for the Kyoto protocol. Regarding the biomass potential which is technically feasible at the moment, the...

Global climate changes are taking place and its impacts on economy are already occurring in fields like tourism, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, insurance industry or capital market. Specialists draw attention that climate change has negative effects and positive effects. For example, in some parts of Europe, especially in north, the agricultural may benefit from temperature rise increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The most important part of these changes is due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity. Between greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the largest contributor with a weight around of 80 % of total GHG emissions. The agriculture is the most affected sector by the climate change, but agricultural activities...

The populist view of economic development and the environment is that advances in one will necessarily result in a decline in the other. Evidence in the Australian context is that the dual goals can be achieved simultaneously. As economic development progresses, the increasing levels of income stimulate greater demand for environmental improvements. The population engages in more environmentally focused consumption and calls for its governments to introduce more policies designed to rehabilitate and protect environmental assets. Concurrently, the increasing levels of wealth allow for increasing expenditure on research and development into production processes that generate greater productivity and less environmental damage.

Autores: Boubacar,   Inoussa.
A standardized precipitation index is used in a regression analysis to quantify the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity in Sahel. I first estimate a Malmquist productivity index and its efficiency and technical change components. I further assess the statistical significance of the indices by estimating some confidence intervals via a bootstrap method. In the second stage of the analysis, I use a Probit model to estimate the extent to which climate variables affect agricultural productivity. It appears that agricultural performance has been disastrous in many Sahelian countries from 1970 to 2000. Using a comparable cross-country measure of drought, I provide evidence that precipitation variability is constraining not only Sahel’s...

Results show that output was more often constrained by husband's clearing labor.  However, men's economic contribution to household consumption is inversely related to women's agricultural output.

Long-Run Structural and Productivity Change in U.S. Agriculture: Effects of Prices and Policies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Evenson,   Robert E.; Huffman,   Wallace E.
This paper presents (1) a conceptual framework for structural change when farms may be multiproduct or specialized and (2) an econometrics examination of causes of structural and total factor productivity (TFP) change for U.S. agriculture. Farm size, farm specialization, and part-time farming are the structural dimension emphasized, and they become potential channels to TFP change. Using state aggregate data starting in 1950, we conclude that input prices, public and private research, public extension, and government commodity programs have directly and indirectly caused change in U.S. farm structure and TFP. Our results suggest that changes in farm size, however, have been dominated by input price changes rather than by technology or government programs.

FORECASTING FUTURE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATES USING ADJUSTED BUREAU OF LABOR FORECASTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bullock,   K. Wayne; Litzenberg,   Kerry K.
Forecasts of the number of future professionals required for an ongoing safe, efficient US food system are highly important. The demand for adequately prepared higher education graduates must be met by the US Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Education System. Without accurate forecasts of the human resource needs of the food sector of the economy, adequate professionals may not be available when needed. This research effort makes use of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) forecasted employment opportunities. The estimation of professionals required in the food and agriculture sectors of the economy is developed by selecting and manipulating data from the BLS model that is relevant to food and agriculture careers. These forecasts of needed...

RUSSIA'S AGRICULTURE: EIGHT YEARS IN TRANSITION - CONVERGENCE OR DIVERGENCE OF REGIONAL EFFICIENCY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Uvarovsky,   Vladimir; Voigt,   Peter.
In this paper, we consider how Russian Agriculture has developed since the constitution of the Russian Federation. The analysis is based on Oblast level data of 75 territorial units during the period from 1993 to 1998 and is focusing on technical efficiency (TE), technological change, and (both aggregated as overall index) on Total Factor Productivity (TFP). Given that the initial natural conditions were approximately constant the consistence of political programs, market reforms and restructuring were essential determinants of regional developments of TE and TFP above or below the common trend. If this assumption is widely true an investigation of responsible circumstances for these divergences seems to be an important task in the actual regional-economic...

Florida Agriculture and the Vegetable Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stevens,   Thomas J., III; Hodges,   Alan W.; Mulkey,   W. David.
Florida ranked ninth in the U.S. in agricultural receipts for the year 2000, and ranked first or second in receipts for 12 of the nation's top 25 agricultural commodities. Ten of these twelve leading agricultural commodities were fresh fruits or vegetables, and combined, they represented over 45 percent of the state's agricultural receipts in 2000. Despite Florida's preeminent standing as a producer of fresh fruits and vegetables, it's future leadership in this industry is less clear. In real terms, Florida's annual agricultural receipts have declined from $7.41 billion in 1992, to $6.42 billion in 2001. In 2000, receipts fell by over $521 million, the sharpest one-year drop since 1990. The overall trend in fresh vegetable receipts for the State has been...

The Choice of Technology in Russian Agriculture: An Application of the Induced Innovation Hypothesis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hockmann,   Heinrich; Kopsidis,   Michael.
Even after more then ten years after the beginning of the transition process, Russian agriculture shows only limited sign of a recovery. Production has not reached the level of the pre-transition period and investment is still on a very low level. In this paper we use the "Theory of Induced Innovation" in order to access the development of production structures in Russia and to identify the major obstacles for restructuring. We argue that due to multiple market failure (capital, labour) and inappropriate institutional arrangements inherited from Soviet times hinder the development of Russian agriculture. Both reasons causes that agricultural enterprises have difficulties with regard to an adjustment of factor input and production corresponding to the real...

The high Brazilian external dependence turns the persecution for foreign reserves a permanent concern. This paper analyzes soybean competitiveness after 1990 as it led Brazilian agricultural exports and became its main exchange value source. By using several indicators it concludes for an increasing competitiveness of the grain and decreasing for cake of soybeans since 1997. During the ninety decade there were expressive increases of crop productivity, but after that the production was due to area increases; from 1991 to 2003 doubled the share of inputs (fertilizers, corrective and pesticides) in the production cost, the expense with those imported inputs was multiplied by ten, while soybean and its derived product export value was multiplied by four; the...

Contracts, Transaction Costs and Agricultural Production in the Pampas
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lema,   Daniel.
This paper presents an analysis of agricultural contracts using a transaction costs approach. We contend that in a context of modern agriculture, with well defined property rights, agricultural contracts must balance costs and benefits, aligning tenant and landlord incentives towards a similar objective. The study debates the potential effects of tenancy status and duration of contracts, over soil conservation and input use. We present empirical evidence about the effects over the soil and input use in tenant (fixed rent or sharecropping) and owner-operator farms using farm level data from the 2002 National Agricultural Census of Argentina. The empirical results show some differential effects but do not support a general and clear negative effect for...

POLAND'S AGRICULTURE: SERIOUS COMPETITOR OR EUROPE'S POORHOUSE? SURVEY RESULTS ON FARM PERFORMANCE IN SELECTED POLISH VOIVODSHIPS AND A COMPARISON WITH GERMAN FARMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Petrick,   Martin; Spychalski,   Grzegorz; Switlyk,   Michal; Tyran,   Ewa.
The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of farm-level data collected in a survey of 464 Polish farms in 2000. Performance indicators of farms in three Polish voivodships are compared with farm accountancy data from two German Länder. The results show that Polish farms were much less profitable than their German counterparts. The gap in income levels is much higher between persons employed in the agricultural sector than between average working persons in the two countries. Living standards within the Polish farm sector decline from the north-west to the south-east. The analysis suggests that the lower profitability of farms is a consequence of pronounced structural deficiencies due to a quite unfavourable workforce-land ratio on Polish farms and...

Homo Agricola considered as Homo Economicus and Homo Politicus
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zawojska,   Aldona.
The paper is of descriptive character and is based on literature review. It reviews the concept of homo economicus and homo politicus in the history of economic thought and tries to discover their characteristics in homo agricola. As demonstrated, one component of homo agricola can be of economic and another one of political nature. Those components can be separated or can be together. Agricultural economists, however, in their sophisticated mathematical models seem to reduce farmers’ behaviour to economic behaviour or rather to self-interested homo economicus. Institutional economics, social economics and socio-economics are closer to actual human nature, than homo economicus. The further research challenge before agricultural academia is to develop the...

An analysis of the spatial and temporal patterns of greenhouse gas emissions by agriculture in Western Australia and the opportunities for agroforestry offsets
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kingwell,   Ross S.; Harris-Adams,   Keely.
If agriculture is included in an Australian emissions trading scheme then it may face from 2015 at the earliest, a price for its greenhouse gas emissions; and thereby have incentives to offset and lessen its emissions. Yet because there is currently little understanding of the spatial pattern of emissions in agricultural regions of Australia, the extent of the challenge the sector faces in reducing its emissions is not fully recognised. To improve our understanding, this study uses the National Greenhouse Accounts methodology to estimate the spatial and temporal patterns of agricultural emissions since 1990 in the key agricultural region in Australia’s southwest. This region generates almost 40 percent of the nation’s winter crop production and supports...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hovhannisyan,   Vardges; Vasa,   Laszlo.
Armenian milk marketing cooperatives provide several benefits, of which the increased opportunity for milk marketing is valued most by member farmers. During the cooperative action milk production has also increased due to seminars on cattle feeding, artificial insemination, sanitation programs, and support by cooperatives in feed procurement. Another benefit is that through pooling products of specified grade or quality, marketing cooperatives are better able to market milk to large-scale buyers than individual owners. Putting their efforts together cooperatives can move to distant markets and thus expand their sales opportunities. This is of paramount importance for those cooperatives that have a sole buyer. In addition to milk marketing, almost all of...

The setting of priorities for policy research at the International Food Policy Research Institute depends largely on an understanding of basic national and global trends in food production, consumption, and trade. Although IFPRI draws heavily on the analyses by FAO and other agencies for much of this information, it is also intensely examines the basic data, not only to carefully adjust its own program but to judge independently the key variable in these trends. Initially IFPRI worked largely from USDA data, but recent efforts have depended primarily on FAO statistics. This experience with the published data of both agencies has led Leonardo Paulino and Shen Sheng Tseng to undertake this analyses available to the research community at large, we hope to...

In this paper we intend to analyse a number of agricultural documents to see if they mesh with the EU’s sustainable development policy.

After demonstrating the still existing conflict between the Lisbon and the Gothenburg Strategy, we will summarize the thematic strategies concerning EU agriculture. The relationship between agricultural policy and the two basic strategies may have implications for other sectoral strategies (e.g. energy, transport, tourism). If the EU is subsequently able to make headway regarding its strategies, it will also facilitate resolution of this problem at the...

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es medir el cambio de la productividad en la agricultura chilena durante el período 1961-96. La Productividad Total de los Factores (PTF) fue calculada mediante índices Törnqvist.  Los datos utilizados para estimar estos índices incluyen precios y cantidades de 51 cultivos, de la mano de obra, de la tierra, del capital y de factores intermedios.  El análisis revela que mientras los productos crecieron un 2,69% anual, el uso de factores de producción bajó un 0,09%; por lo tanto, la PTF creció a una tasa promedio anual del 2,78% entre 1961 y 1996.  Se realizó además un análisis para siete períodos correspondientes a diferentes regímenes políticos. La PTF creció a un promedio anual de 1,83% con Alessandri (1961-64), 3,12%...

This note examines European Union (EU) institutions and policy making processes in relation to its agriculture and food sector. With a market comprised of 495 million people across 27 countries and a comprehensive agricultural policy accounting for the largest share of the EU budget, how the EU policy environment functions is important to Canada. Decisions are made at the supranational EU level for agriculture, fisheries, trade, and regional development, while decision-making related to other policies occurs at the individual country level or through a system of inter-governmental cooperation. Decision-making occurs in three institutions: the Commission, the Council and the Parliament. Agriculture negotiations typically begin with a text drafted by the...

Climate Change Assessment and Agriculture in General Equilibrium Models: Alternative Modeling Strategies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Palatnik,   Ruslana Rachel; Roson,   Roberto.
Agricultural sectors play a key role in the economics of climate change. Land as an input to agricultural production is one of the most important links between economy and the biosphere, representing a direct projection of human action on the natural environment. Agricultural management practices and cropping patterns have a vast effect on biogeochemical cycles, freshwater availability and soil quality. Agriculture also plays an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. Thus, to consistently investigate climate policy and future pathways for the economic and natural environment, a realistic representation of agricultural land-use is essential. Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models have increasingly been used to this purpose. CGE models...

The purpose of this document is to describe the features of the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Medium Term Outlook for Canadian Agriculture (previously entitled Medium Term Policy Baseline) covering the period 2008 to 2018. The outlook is an attempt to outline a plausible future of the international and domestic agri-food sectors. It serves as a benchmark for discussion and scenario analysis. The outlook makes specific assumptions and outlines their implications. Since it assumes that policies remain unchanged from existing legislation, the outlook is not a forecast of future events. The medium term assumptions used and published by the OECD/FAO in the Agricultural Outlook are by in large maintained in the AAFC's outlook but updated to reflect...

Estimating Ricardian Models With Panel Data
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Massetti,   Emanuele; Mendelsohn,   Robert.
Many nonmarket valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that repeated cross sections do not properly specify the model. Panel methods that correctly specify the Ricardian model are stable over time. The results suggest that many cross sectional methods including hedonic studies and travel cost studies could be enhanced using panel data.

Trade and employment linkages in Indonesian Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vanzetti,   David; Oktaviani,   Rina.
Trade negotiators are concerned about the possible negative effects of trade liberalisation on employment in specific sectors. The agricultural sector has characteristics that make it different from industrial or service sectors. These are an informal labour force, low productivity, relative absence of regulations and a tie to land. These characteristics help the sector adjust to trade shocks. In this application, a global computable general equilibrium model is used to determine trade shocks that are passed to a single country general equilibrium model to analyse employment and wage effects for four skills levels in Indonesian agriculture. Employment tends to move with output in the primary agricultural sector where capital-labour substitution is...

An Empirical Investigation of Short and Long-run Agricultural Wage Formation in Ghana
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abdulai,   Awudu; Delgado,   Christopher L.
This paper investigates empirically the factors that influence real agricultural wage rates in Ghana, based on 1957 to 1991 data. The Johansen cointegration framework is used to examine long-run relationships among agricultural and urban wage rates, the domestic terms of trade between agriculture and nonagriculture, urban unemployment, capital stock in agriculture and the size of the rural population. An error correction model is then used to investigate short-run dynamic relationships among the variables. The results show that: (1) there is only one stable equilibrium relationship among agricultural wage rates and their determinants in the long-run; (2) a 1 percent change in the domestic terms of trade between agriculture and non-agriculture leads to a...

Implications of Immigration Policies for the U.S. Farm Sector and Workforce
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Devadoss,   Stephen; Luckstead,   Jeff.
We develop a theoretical model using migration and trade theory to examine the effects of domestic and border enforcement policies on unauthorized workers and the U.S. agricultural sector.  The theoretical results show that heightened immigration policies increase the illegal farm wage rate, and reduce the employment of unauthorized farm workers and exports.  The empirical analysis show that increased domestic enforcements curtail the number of undocumented farm workers by an average of 8947 and commodity exports to Mexico by an average of $180 million.  The tighter border control curbs illegal farm workers by 8147 and reduces farm exports by $181 million.

Are Disciplines Required on Domestic Support?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blandford,   David.
The impact of domestic support on trade is likely to become an increasingly important issue in the WTO negotiations on agriculture. Domestic support expenditures are increasing and existing disciplines on forms and levels of support are weak. While a shift from market price support to output subsidies should be less trade distorting, such support may not be minimally distorting as required under the so-called “green-box” criteria. Proposals submitted by WTO members could further expand permissible support measures and weaken disciplines on their use. In some cases, most notably support provided in pursuit of environmental objectives, there may be a contradiction between the aims of support measures and the requirement that these should be minimally trade...

REFORM OF THE CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD: A “MADE IN CANADA” APPROACH TO MARKETING GRAIN
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pedde,   Richard; Mirus,   Rolf.
The debate continues: whether or not single desk selling of Western Canadian grain provides the best return to producers. It is methodologically difficult to show that better returns may have been foregone in the past, yet the experience in Illinois suggests that, absent the CWB, farmers could also achieve worse results. While this battle – a battle that is in part ideological in nature – has been taking place, the world has moved forward and new services markets have evolved. There may indeed be $20 bills on the sidewalk that can be picked up by moving with the world – without, for the time being, abandoning the single desk. In this brief discussion paper we argue that the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) can improve its performance through increased recourse...

"Co-Operative Identity" -  A Theoretical Concept for Dynamic Analysis of Practical Co-Operation: The Dutch Case
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Szabo,   Gabor G.
The "concept of the co-operative identity" (consisting from the definition, aims and functions of cooperatives and the so-termed co-operative principles) serves as a general theoretical background for the economic analysis of agricultural co-operation. The development of Dutch dairy co-operatives is used as a case study example, which suitably illustrates and represents the processes taking place in the European Union. Some suggestions for further research on the co-operative identity according to each country and different branches and sectors in order to see the substance of co-operation from different economic and non-economic aspects are proposed.

Public investment in R&amp;D and extension and productivity in Australian broadacre agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sheng,   Yu; Gray,   Emily M.; Mullen,   John D.
This paper uses time-series data to examine the relationship between public research and development (R&amp;D) and extension investment and productivity growth in Australian broadacre agriculture. The results show that public R&amp;D investment has significantly promoted productivity growth in Australia’s broadacre sector over the past five decades (1953 to 2007). Moreover, the relative contributions of domestic and foreign R&amp;D have been roughly equal, accounting for an estimated 0.6 per cent and 0.63 per cent of annual total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the broadacre sector, respectively. The elasticity of TFP to knowledge stocks of research (both domestic and foreign) and extension were estimated to be around 0.20–0.24 and 0.07–0.15,...

The impact of crop protection on agricultural production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jozsef; Hantos,   Krisztina.
Chemical pesticides will continue to play a role in pest management for the future. In many situations, the benefits of pesticide use are high relative to the risks or there are no practical alternatives. The number and diversity of biological sources will increase, and products that originate in chemistry laboratories will be designed for particular target sites. Innovations in pesticide delivery systems in plants promise to reduce adverse environmental impacts even further. The correct use of pesticides can deliver significant socioeconomic and environmental benefits in the form of safe, healthy, affordable food; and enable sustainable farm management by improving the efficiency with which we use natural resources such as soil, water and overall land...

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a comprehensive trade liberalizing agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This is especially true for Agricultural trade between Mexico, and the United States. Agricultural trade barriers between Mexico and the United States were completely eliminated on January 1, 2008. The agreement facilitates cross-border investment, phytosanitary standards, cooperation regarding the environment and labor, and set up a dispute resolution procedure, and regular consultation procedures. Each of the countries entered NAFTA hoping to gain greater market access and growth in trade, as well as access to capital, technology, a favorable trade advantage and other gains.

The Effect of Continuing Education Participation on Agricultural Worker Outcomes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pena,   Anita Alves.
Migrant farmworkers are among the poorest members of the working class served by the U.S. public workforce investment system. The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) provides job training and employment assistance to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their dependents. While stated goals include assisting migrant farmworkers increase “economic stability” by steadying agricultural employment and developing job skills, little empirical evidence exists as to the effectiveness of these programs. This study investigates the effects of continuing education participation on wages, time worked in agriculture, and poverty in this population. Data come from the U.S. Department of Labor’s National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), a nationally and regionally...

Autores: Roeder,   Norbert; Lederbogen,   Dirk; Trautner,   Juergen; Bergamini,   Ariel; Stofer,   Silvia; Scheidegger,   Christoph.
The following paper assesses the impact of different policy options on the land use and associated biodiversity values of jointly organized low intensity grazing systems (‘Allmende’) in Southern Bavaria. We use an integrated economic and ecological modelling approach to compare the results of the scenarios with a reference situation that reflects the Common Agricultural Policy prior to the Fischler Reform. The economic sub model is based on single farms which alter their land use in response to economic stimuli. Within the economic part, key factors like the farm’s endowment with machinery, quota and buildings but also the farmer’s attitude are regarded. Within the rule based ecological sub model we analyze three main parameters: (a) protected habitats...

Geography and Economic Transition: Global Spatial Analysis at the Grid Cell Level
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Motamed,   Mesbah J.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.; Masters,   William J.
This paper addresses the timing of historical transition from rural to urban activity. In our model, rural production has constant returns and meets subsistence needs, while urban production has scale economies and meets the demands of higher-income consumers. Urbanization occurs sooner when rural or urban productivity is higher or transport costs are lower. We test the model on worldwide data that divides the earth's surface at half-degree intervals into over 60,000 cells. From an independent estimate of each cell's rural and urban population history, we identify the date at which each cell achieves various thresholds of urbanization. Controlling for country fixed effects and neighbors' urbanization using spatial techniques, we find that the date at which...

Towards an Integrated Global Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Model: Greenhouse Gases from Agriculture Simulation Model (GreenAgSiM)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dumortier,   Jerome; Hayes,   Dermot J.
The Greenhouse Gases from Agriculture Simulation Model (GreenAgSiM) presented in this paper aims to quantify emissions from agricultural activity on a global scale. The model takes emissions into account that are directly attributable to agricultural production, such as enteric fermentation (methane), manure management (methane and nitrous oxide), and agricultural soil management (nitrous oxide). Furthermore, carbon stock differences from land-use change (carbon dioxide) induced by agriculture are included in the model. The model will provide policy makers with information about the greenhouse gas implications of policy changes.

Autores: Kingwell,   Ross S.; Metcalf,   Tess.
The Australian government is introducing a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme in 2010, as part of its climate change policy. After 2015 agriculture may be covered by this scheme. This paper examines how different broadacre farming systems may be affected by the policy settings of this scheme. Using the bio-economic farming systems model MIDAS (Model of an Integrated Dryland Agricultural System) the impacts of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme on the profitability of different broadacre farming systems in the southwest of Australia are investigated. Results show a range of profit and enterprise impacts across the various farm types. In a scenario where agriculture is not covered by the scheme, reductions in profit range from 7 to 12 percent, attributable...

Notes on the Economics of Control of Wildlife Pests
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Some wildlife species are agricultural pests but these populations are often valued by other than agriculturalists. For non-farmers, the population levels of such wildlife are frequently pure public goods. This is one source of market failure in the economically optimal social control of an agricultural pest of this type. Secondly, if the species is geographically mobile, externalities occur between farmers in the control of the species, and this reduces the incentives of farmers as individuals to control the pest species. It is shown that depending on the relative strength of these opposing types of market failure, farmers may excessively reduce or insufficiently decrease the population of a species from a social economic point of view.

Agriculture and Environmental Issues in Free Trade Agreements
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Colyer,   Dale.
Including environmental issues in trade agreements is controversial, although these issues are an integral part of the NAFTA and WTO agreements as well as being the subject of numerous multilateral environmental treaties and agreements. Despite its inclusion, many members are opposed to allowing the environment an extensive role in the WTO. Nonetheless, the Doha Ministerial Declaration recognizes the environment in negotiating the next trade liberalization agreement. Agriculture and agricultural trade, which were integrated with international trade disciplines in the Uruguay Round, have environmental implications, and the inclusion of agriculture in the WTO introduces complex issues that also have environmental consequences.

IMPACTS OF INCORPORATING LAND EXCHANGES BETWEEN FORESTRY AND AGRICULTURE IN SECTOR MODELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Alig,   Ralph J.; Adams,   Darius M.; McCarl,   Bruce A.
The forest and agriculture sectors are linked by having a portion of their land bases suitable for use in either sector.  A substantial part of the southern land base is suitable for either forestry or agriculture use, with most of forestation on U.S. agriculture land in the South.  We examine how land exchanges between forestry and agriculture are influenced by specific federal conservation and farm support policies, including changes in the Conservation Reserve Program.  Reallocation of land is a significant part of the sectors' responses to the policies, along with intensification of timber management on existing southern forests.

The aim of this paper is to point out some problems of index estimation for the purposes of weather derivative valuation considering the particularities of agriculture. The assessment of the sensitivity of barley to weather over 40 years has been the basis for the design and valuation of weather derivative in the Czech Republic (The Southern Moravia Region). The analysis is based on regression modeling using temperature index and barley yield. The burn analysis based on parametric bootstrap is used as the method for the valuation of weather derivative contract. With the effective bootstrap tool, the burn analysis may easily be processed and the uncertainty about the pay-off, option price and statistics of probability distribution of revenues can be...

FOOD SECURITY, POVERTY, AND ECONOMIC POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lofgren,   Hans; Richards,   Alan.
In MENA, household food insecurity, which is closely related to poverty and undernourishment, is most severe in rural areas and concentrated within Iraq, Sudan, and Yemen. 25% of the MENA population may be poor and 7% undernourished. The key to increased national and household-level food security is pro-poor growth, driven by export-oriented, labor-intensive sectors. Agricultural sector policies should be subordinate to the pro-poor growth goal and not to the goal of food self-sufficiency. Such a strategy requires conflict resolution; macroeconomic stability; physical and human capital accumulation; reliance on markets and the private sector, and diffusion of ecologically friendly farming practices.

Identifying agricultural research and development investment opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa: A global, economy-wide analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ehui,   Simeon K.; Tsigas,   Marinos E.
Poverty is higher in most African countries than elsewhere in the developing world, and highest in the rural areas. Accelerating growth in agriculture will therefore be critical to sustain growth and reduce poverty, but policy makers are unsure which sub-sector will yield the highest return for a given budget. This paper uses an applied general equilibrium model to simulate productivity gains in sub-Saharan agriculture subject to trade-offs between gains in crops and gains in livestock. The simulated results suggest three conclusions. First, most sub-Saharan economies gain more from research and development (R&amp;D) investment in crops than in livestock, though the SACU (South African Customs Union) economies and Madagascar benefit from sharing it between...

Fostering Agricultural Market Development in Zambia.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tembo,   Gelson; Chapoto,   Antony; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Weber,   Michael T.
The availability, access and affordability of food is a highly politicized issue throughout the world. In much of southern Africa, there is a widespread view that governments are responsible for ensuring that their populations have reliable access to food. Zambia, like most countries in Southern Africa, is vigorously pursuing continued direct public sector involvement and protectionist measures in the maize marketing sector. Since 1995, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) and more recently, subsidies through the Fertilizer Support Program (FSP), have been the major instruments of government policy. While in some respects current operations undertaken by the government are similar to those adopted at independence, there are some noteworthy changes. Specifically,...

RECENT EVIDENCE ON AGRICULTURAL EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY IN CHINA: A METAFRONTIER APPROACH
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rungsuriyawiboon,   Supawat; Xiaobing,   Wang.
Economic reform in China helped transform the structure and volume of agricultural production and resulted in significant changes in efficiency and productivity. This paper measures agricultural technical efficiency (TE) and total factor productivity (TFP) in China by allowing producers operating under their own technologies. A metafrontier function approach is applied using a panel data set on 28 provinces during 1991-2005. The provinces are categorized into advanced- technology and low-technology provinces. Based on the metafrontier estimation, TFP growth is decomposed into TE change (TEC), technical change (TC) and scale efficiency change (SEC). This information is useful for policy makers to design suitable policies in enhancing agricultural TE and TFP...

Autores: Koshteh,   M.H. Karim; Karbasi,   Ali Reza.
Free trading is considered as index of global economy and factor economic growth in many countries.  In this study along with recognition of growth resources, those factors such as surplus value, Labour, capital, energy, government planning and expenditure which playing the main role in economic growth has been identified and analyzed.  Also, international trade index impact along with other effective factors on surplus value are considered and estimated.  The results show that Labour and energy are the most effective inputs on surplus value respectively.  Then supposing that the sector experienced a productive agronomic year and supporting that Iran country was committed to a free trading framework, the relationships between various related variables were...

Typology of the Portuguese Farm Holdings and Taxation Regimes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Godinho,   Maria de Lurdes Ferro; Coelho,   Maria Leonor Macedo de Seabra.
The study describes the evolution, since the Portuguese accession to the European Community, in 1986, of the different types of farm holdings (household-farms, corporations, co-operatives and other legal forms), using the Agricultural Census data. In addition, the experience of agricultural taxation in Portugal in the context of the ongoing policy debate about the tax structure and tax reform affecting agricultural producers is addressed for different categories of farms. The research also examines the problems associated with tax regimes. A major problem has been the measurement of the actual taxable farm income. The different measures to estimate farm income are explained for the various taxation regimes.

COPPER CRISIS AND AGRICULTURAL RENAISSANCE IN ZAMBIA: AN ECONOMY-WIDE ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lofgren,   Hans; Robinson,   Sherman; Thurlow,   James.
Zambia's strong dependence on copper exports has suppressed other tradables sectors, indicative of a Dutch disease phenomenon.  The current copper crisis will have strong economic effects, possibly reversing such Dutch disease effects.  We use a computable general equilibrium model built around a 1995 social accounting matrix to simulate the short- and long-run effects of two scenarios that reflect the current crisis, a 20 percent reduction in world copper prices and a complete collapse of copper mining.  Compared to the short run, the long run is characterized by more flexibility in production technology and capital allocation. Both scenarios require a significant reduction in the "non-copper" trade deficit, absorption, and household consumption.  The...

Intra-industry trade of Hungarian agricultural products and the EU-accession
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jambor,   Attila.
This paper analyses structural changes in Hungarian agricultural trade after EU accession, especially considering intra-industry trade. Results suggest that EU accession raised the intensity of trade contacts but had a negative impact on trade balance. After accession, national agricultural exports by countries and products has shown a high but decreasing level of concentration, while in the case of agricultural imports, concentration was increasingly high by country and constantly low by product. Agricultural trade between Hungary and EU-15 is basically inter-industrial in nature, though the role of intra-industry trade is increasing.

Economics of Controlling Vertebrate Wildlife: the Pest-Asset Dichotomy and Environmental Conflict
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Some wildlife species are agricultural pests (or otherwise a problem) but their populations are often valued by other than agriculturalists or by those not adversely affected by them directly. For non-farmers, the population levels of such wildlife are frequently pure public goods. This is one source of market failure in the economically optimal social control of an (agricultural) pest of this type. Secondly, if the species is geographically mobile, externalities occur between farmers (or other individuals) in the control of the species, and individuals ignore these spillovers in controlling pest species. Simple analysis is used to show that depending on the relative strength of these opposing types of market failure, farmers (or others) may excessively...

Autores: Watt,   Jean.
New Zealand has a long history of producing official statistics on agricultural, horticultural, and forestry production. Having a good population or survey frame is a key factor enabling the collection and production of quality statistics. Several population frames have been used over time for agricultural production censuses and surveys. These include land based frames, administrative registers, farmer and grower lists, and combinations of these. This paper discusses the frame currently used and earlier frames and associated challenges, including: the transition from a land based to administrative frame, coverage issues, frame updating, and issues when comparing statistics based on different frames.

Agricultural Productivity and Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yu,   Bingxin; Nin Pratt,   Alejandro.
We analyze the evolution of Sub-Saharan Africa’s agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) over the past 45 years, looking for evidence of recent changes in growth patterns using an improved nonparametric Malmquist index. Our TFP estimates show a remarkable recovery in the performance of Sub-Saharan Africa’s agriculture between 1984 and 2006 after a long period of poor performance and decline. That recovery is the consequence of improved efficiency in production resulting from changes in the output structure and an adjustment in the use of inputs. Policy interventions, including fiscal, trade and sector specific policies, appear to have played an important role in improving agriculture’s performance. Despite the improved agricultural performance, SSA...

Autores: Xu,   Z.; Guan,   Zhengfei; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Black,   J. Roy.
Major Findings: The additional maize produced from a given amount of fertilizer applied varied widely across households even after largely controlling for soil and rainfall conditions. The median estimated response rate was 15.9kgs of maize per kg nitrogen applied; Under the range of conditions and smallholder management practices, average maize fertilizer response rates declined as the application rate increased beyond 2 bags of urea and 2 bags of D compound; Factors raising the response rate and profitability of fertilizer use included timely availability, application rates less than the MOA 4x4 recommendation, use of animal draft power in land preparation, and use of hybrid seed. In remote areas, and given current management practices, fertilizer use...

Desarrollando mercados rurales: el rol de la incertidumbre y la restricción crediticia

Autores: Escobal D'Angelo,   Javier.
El estudio evalúa cuáles son los factores más relevantes para que un pequeño productor agrícola demande asistencia técnica con el propósito de incursionar en mercados “dinámicos”; es decir, en mercados que puedan absorber cantidades crecientes de su cultivo. Los resultados muestran que existe un segmento de productores cuya “distancia” a estos mercados no es tan significativa como para que no puedan incursionar en ellos. Sin embargo, restricciones asociadas al grado de organización de los productores, a su percepción del riesgo y a las posibilidades de acceso al mercado de crédito les impiden acceder a los beneficios adicionales que estos mercados ofrecen.

Private sector investment in agricultural research and development in Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Keogh,   Mick.
There is growing recognition that the private sector is playing an increasingly important role in agricultural research and development internationally, and in Australia. There are only very limited data available about the extent of private sector research and development (R&amp;D) investment that is occurring in Australia, and the nature of that investment. This paper reports the results of a survey and data review that was carried out to gain a better understanding of private sector agricultural R&amp;D investment in Australia. The survey, whilst limited, suggests that private sector agricultural R&amp;D investment in Australia is more significant than previously reported, and that private sector investors see public sector investment in this area as...

The Commonwealth of Australia Water Act 2007 changed the priority for water use in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) to first ensure environmentally sustainable levels of extraction and then to maximise net economic returns to the community from water use. The Murray- Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is expected to deliver a draft Basin Plan in 2011 providing a framework for future water planning. The Plan will include Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDLs) which define water diversions for consumption while maintaining environmental assets and ecosystem functions.

MILKING THE MOST FROM YOUR PROMOTIONAL DOLLARS: AN ANALYSIS OF AGRIBUSINESS FIRMS SERVING U.S.AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roucan-Kane,   Maud; Peake,   Whitney O.
Although the marketing mix has been covered in great detail in many veins of literature, very little information exists regarding the mix of marketing tools within the agriculture industry serving U.S. agricultural producers. Using a survey conducted by AgriMarketing magazine in June 2006, a two-fold analysis is undertaken. This study attempts to determine the differences in the use of marketing tools by industry and simple regression analysis is conducted to determine promotional factors that produce a significant impact on sales. Both mass media and other promotional tools were found to be the most consistently significant factor impacting sales of firms in the study.

Improving Agronomic Structure in Econometric Models of Climate Change Impacts
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ortiz-Bobea,   Ariel.
Economists are relying on agronomic concepts to construct weather or climate independent variables and improve the reliability and efficiency of econometric models of climate change impact on U.S. agriculture. The use of cumulative heat measures in agronomy (growing degree-days), has recently served as a basis for the introduction of plurimonthly calendar heat variables in these models. However, season-long weather conditions seem at odds with conventional agronomic wisdom that emphasizes crucial differences in crop stage sensitivity to environmental stress. In this paper I show that weather variables matched to key corn development stages provide an enhanced and more stable fit than their calendar counterparts. More importantly, the proposed...

Abstract: This essay is an evaluation of year one of the Rural Business Development (RBD) program for small rice farmers in León, Nicaragua. The RBD program is administered by the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and is designed to deliver agricultural extension advice and affordable credit in the form of inputs to farm households. This essay estimates the average impact of the program on rice yields and revenues utilizing inverse propensity score weighting combined with linear regression. In conducting statistical inference, it also accounts for the fact that agricultural outcomes are likely correlated over space in a small area such as the one studied here. The results suggest that the program had no impact on average, likely due to the presence of a...

This paper outlines the development and use of a policy model for multifunctional agriculture and rural development. The model is an important part of the EU research project, TOP-MARD (Towards a Policy Model for Multifunctional Agriculture and Rural Development).. It sets the discourse on multifunctional agriculture in the context of what OECD calls the ‘New Rural Paradigm’, and explores the ways in which both market and non-market ‘functions’ of agriculture and farm households link with economic development and quality of life in different rural territories, and how different kinds of policies influence these linkages. We develop a policy model based on an approach closer to ecological economics, adopting a systems analytic approach.We seek to capture...

The Food Problem and the Evolution of International Income Levels
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gollin,   Douglas; Parente,   Stephen L.; Rogerson,   Richard.
This paper examines the effect of agricultural development on a country’s overall development and growth experience. In most poor countries, large fractions of land, labor, and other productive resources are devoted to producing food for subsistence needs. This “food problem” can delay a country’s industrial development for a long period of time, causing its per capita income to fall far behind the world leader. Once industrialization begins, this trend is reversed. The extent to which a country catches up to the leader depends primarily on factors that affect productivity in non-agricultural activities: agricultural productivity is thus largely irrelevant in the very long run. But in the short run, a country that experiences large improvements in...

Ethics and Agriculture: A Teaching Perspective
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diebel,   Penelope L.
Ethics and agriculture is a complex debate, but one in which agricultural economics students must be prepared to participate.  There are many links between economics and ethic or moral philosophy.  Classroom teaching tends to focus on discussion of issues involving behavioral ethics and disregards the teaching of philosophical ethics and its application in agricultural economics.  A discussion is presented regarding the ethical context we have inherited in agricultural economics.  I offer some broad moral philosophy concepts and an argument for providing students with tools to develop a philosophical ethics perspective of agricultural economics.

Do Farm Credits Stimulate Development of Agriculture in Poland?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Siudek,   Tomasz.
In Poland, farmers rely primarily on cooperative banks for agricultural credit. Therefore, the paper attempt is to examine the impact of agricultural credits disbursed by the cooperative banks on regional development of agricultural sector in Poland over 1997- 2006. Sources of data include financial statements of the banks (1373 observations) providing credit-related information and sectoral background data for agriculture from Central Statistical Office of Poland. The levels of agricultural development were assessed using a nation-level and regional-level composite indicators constructed by the author by the use of factor analysis. Additionally, one-factor ANOVA, Pearson correlations and linear regression were applied. There was found, that the most...

Projections of economic impacts of climate change in agriculture in Europe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Quiroga,   Sonia; Iglesias,   Ana.
RESUMEN This study provides monetary estimates of the impacts of climate change in European agriculture. Future scenarios are derived from several socio-economic scenarios and experiments conducted using global climate moedls and regional climate models. The economic valuation is conducted by using GTAP general equilibrium model across simulations based on crop productivity changes that consider no restrictions in the volume of water available for irrigation in current irrigated areas or in the application of nitrogen fertilizer. Thus the results should be considered optimistic from the production point and pessimistic from the environmental point of view. Regional differences between northern and southern European countries are found and the monetary...

Este artículo examina los Acuerdos de la liberalización del mercado de Norteamérica (NAFTA) con el objeto de analizar el impacto sobre la agricultura y la economía rural en México, y evaluar las políticas introducidas por México para acompañar el proceso. La primera conclusión es que, el NAFTA ha cubierto las predicciones e intensificado las tendencias pre-NAFTA en la agricultura mexicana. La segunda es que la liberalización del mercado promueve y facilita la difícil transición hacia una economía más abierta, y simultáneamente las  políticas sectoriales que promueven un desarrollo rural integrado. La experiencia mexicana, sin embargo, muestra que la visión polarizada que presentan varios agentes políticos con respecto a la elección de políticas públicas...

Autores: Sedlak,   Otilija; Kocic Vugdelija,   Vesna.
The aim of this paper is to set-up the algorithm for determining the degree of workability of the soil, to help the owners of family farms to plan working hours of agricultural machines, i.e. with the machine park management. The plans, which would be made by use of these algorithms and based on the accurate information of the cultivation conditions, would result in the appropriate use of time and capacity of the agricultural machines. In some sectors, such as agriculture or certain industries, chance that certain event occurs plays a very important role. The influence of random events, however, can be significantly reduced if decision makers are counting on them, reveal their nature and gather as much information about them as possible. Justification of...

EXPORT ENHANCEMENT STRATEGIES FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL FIRMS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Saxowsky,   David M.; Krause,   Joyce Hall; Gustafson,   Cole R.
Literature reports that small and medium firms face greater difficulty in obtaining the necessary export market information and in obtaining financing than do larger firms. Accordingly, the United States has many export promotion and enhancement services, but there is little documentation on the impacts of these services on small and medium rural and agricultural firms.  The objectives of this project were to 1) analyze the export assistance needs of small and medium rural and agricultural firms operating in the Northern Plains region at different stages of the export or internationalization process, 2) identify available export assistance and promotion services offered at the federal and state levels to meet the needs of these firms, and 3) identify...

Autores: Lofgren,   Hans; Harris,   Rebecca Lee; Robinson,   Sherman.
Over the past decade, the increasing power and reliability of microcomputers and the development of sophisticated software designed specifically for use with them has led to significant changes in the way quantitative food policy analysis is conducted. These changes cover most aspects of the analysis, ranging from the collections and analysis of socioeconomic data to the conduct of model-based policy simulations. The venue of the computations has shifted from off-site mainframes dependent on highly trained operators and significant capital investment in supporting equipment, to desktop and laptop computers dependent only on the occasional availability of electricity. This means that it is now feasible to quickly transfer new techniques between IFPRI and...

Analyzing the Impact of Structural Change in Iranian Agricultural Credit System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Yazdani,   Saeed.
Replacement of the traditional interest based credit system with an Islamic credit system was one of the fundamental changes in Iran since 1979. The Islamic credit system, offers the prospect of risk sharing between the borrower and the lender. Small farmers are likely to be risk averse and they are reluctant to go heavily into debt in order to finance investments in new technology and capital intensive methods of production which they perceive to be risky. Farmer's decision making behaviour with regard to risk under the Islamic and interest based credit systems are explored with the aid of a simple conceptual model. Analysis of attitudinal data suggests that the majority of small farmers prefer credit provided under the Islamic credit system. Farmers'...

Farm Heterogeneity and Efficiency in Polish Agriculture: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hockmann,   Heinrich; Pieniadz,   Agata.
This paper deals with the estimation of a random coefficient model. The virtue of this approach is that it considers firm heterogeneity, which conventional SFA models do not. Applying the model to Polish farms, the results indicate that the conventional random and fixed effect models overestimate the inefficiency score. In addition, the reasons for inefficiency are analysed. It is shown that despite the fragmentation of Polish agriculture, there is no evidence for scale inefficiency. Moreover, inefficiency could partly be attributed to factors that affect management input and requirements on farms.

Seasonal labour is the most profitable use of labour in broadacre crop dominant farms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rose,   Gus; Kingwell,   Ross S.
Labour scarcity and affordability have encouraged many farmers in Western Australia to focus more on cropping than sheep production. Many farmers are opting to run low input livestock systems. This paper examines labour demand for sheep and cropping during the production year, combined with various scenarios of labour availability and cost. The implications for farm profitability and enterprise selection are examined using the bio-economic farming systems model MIDAS (Model of an Integrated Dryland Agricultural System). Labour requirements for sheep are far greater than those for cropping. Additionally the labour requirements for sheep are high in all production periods whilst the seasonal nature of cropping means more time is required only at certain...

The number of higher-education institutions and the students enrolled in them has grown rapidly throughout Africa since the early 1960s. The number of universities increased from less than 20 in 1960 to nearly 160 by 1996; student numbers grew from 119,000 to almost two million over the same period, yet enrollment ratios in Africa continue to lag well behind developed and other-developing country norms. Funding for higher-education in Africa kept pace with the expanding institutional base during the 1960s and 1970s, but has fallen well behind the growth in student numbers since 1980. The pattern of the development of the agricultural sciences has matched the general pattern of development of the higher-education sector. Three quarters of the countries in...

High risk is inherent to agriculture in Turkmenistan, a post-socialist desert country where the political uncertainties of transition exacerbate natural unpredictability. This study examines risk coping strategies of Turkmen farmers based on a survey of 1100 respondents carried out in 2002 in all five provinces. We propose a new composite index of vulnerability, which includes human capital indicators and geographic location. The analysis relies on a single independent variable, which nevertheless incorporates the effect of criteria interactions. Using survey data, we analyze income smoothing as a mechanisms of risk management across vulnerability groups. Consistently with theoretical expectations, the most vulnerable households seem prefer a smaller, but...

Autores: Ludena,   Carlos E.; Schuschny,   Andres; de Miguel,   Carlos; Duran Lima,   Jose E.
As the use of global and national computable general equilibrium (CGE) models has become more widespread, most policies still remain at the regional or sub-national level. This level of disparity requires an approach that bridges the gap between national results and sub-national policies. This study provides a methodology that combines micro-level information and the results of a CGE model with geographical information to spatially map the effects of trade liberalization on the agricultural sector. This methodology enables to distribute changes in value of production for each production unit according to the importance of a specific crop in the political administrative unit. These results show the geographic effects of the FTA on Ecuador's agriculture, and...

Media Analysis on Volatile Markets’ Dynamics and Adaptive Behavior for the Agri-Food System
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: von Davier,   Zazie; Heyder,   Matthias; Theuvsen,   Ludwig.
The volatility of agricultural markets has increased remarkably in recent years. In spite of this, the way in which supply chain actors perceive market volatility has only rarely been analyzed. This paper seeks to close this research gap by presenting empirical findings about how the volatility of agricultural markets is perceived, how increasing market volatilities are being explained, and what adaptations to the volatile external environments are being suggested. Based on a large-scale media analysis, we have identified perceptions, which vary greatly over time, especially with regard to the perception of the threats and opportunities volatility creates for farms and firms and the most frequently identified reasons for volatile prices

The paper provides an analysis of the impacts of the biofuel policy on the French arable crop sub-sector. The model used is a biofuel supply model composed of an agricultural module and an industrial biofuel processing module. The agricultural supply model is an aggregation of 1094 farm models, based on data from the French Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Different biofuel chains are included in the model: ethanol from wheat and sugar beet, biodiesel (Vegetable Oil Methyl Ester) from rapeseed and sunflower. Scenarios are built upon the recent policy of an increased demand of biofuels for the next years, under the assumption of fulfilling the targets with domestic production only. Results show that the incorporation target of 7% of biofuels in...

The role that information technology plays in today’s business activities has led to an  increase in firms using and/or deploying e-markets online. This development undoubtedly affects the agri-food sector, since a large number of agricultural firms are demonstrating or are expected to demonstrate e-commerce activities. This paper aims to provide an overview of the current status of agricultural e-markets in Greece, by presenting results from an analysis of 100 cases. Results indicate that Greek e-markets may  still have a rather low degree of sophistication, but they demonstrate a strong B2B orientation, as well as an outreach for international customer bases.

The current global economic crisis is helping to dispel misconceptions of neoliberalism. The moment is favorable to rescue other theoretical views. Among these are those that can be used to question the preaching in favor of exploiting the agricultural potential of Brazil as a strategy for integration into the global economy. This is the main objective of this article. In that sense, it was used a model of "two-sectors" for identification and analysis of the macroeconomic consequences of changes in parameters of the agricultural market. The results of the exercises performed served well to show objectively the misconceptions contained in some views of great presence in the Brazilian economic debate.

Do Sensitive Products Undermine Ambition?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vanzetti,   David; Peters,   Ralf.
The long-running WTO negotiations remain unresolved. Agriculture is the main stumbling block. Members have agreed to linear tariff reductions within bands, but proposed exemptions for sensitive products, while providing for much needed flexibility, threaten to undermine the ambition. A detailed partial equilibrium global agricultural trade model is used to analyse the likely impact of exemptions from the formula tariff reductions. Applying one third of the formula cuts to the five per cent of lines with the highest tariffs increases the final developed country average agricultural tariff from 16 to 24 per cent but the negative impacts on trade and welfare are less dramatic.

Structural Change and Public Policies in EU Agriculture: An Overview
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blandford,   David; Hill,   Berkeley.
Substantial structural change is taking place in EU agriculture. Average farm size is increasing and labour is continuing to move out of the sector. Slow growth in food demand and the effects of technological change on supply are likely to exert downward pressure on real agricultural prices. Within this context, policies at the EU and national levels will have mixed effects on economic adaptation and structural change. There is considerable uncertainty about the long-run viability of the so-called European model of agriculture, particularly given the intensification of pressures for change through economic globalisation.

Assessing farm sustainability with value oriented methods
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Passel,   Steven.
Agricultural policy makers aim to combine strong economic performance with a sustainable use of natural resources. An important step is to move from trying to define sustainability towards developing concrete tools for measuring and promoting achievements in sustainability. Hence, sustainability assessment is inevitably based on strong simplifications both of the theoretical paradigm and of the characteristics of systems of concern. The most known approaches to assess sustainability performance are burden orientated: they assess the costs or potential harm of resource use. These burden-oriented approaches focus on the level of environmental impacts caused by an economic activity compared to another set of environmental impacts, while value-oriented impact...

Sigma convergence in Hungarian agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lamfalusi,   Ibolya.
The present paper provides an analysis of agricultural sigma convergence in four old Member States and in Hungary. The analysis was derived from the output and input data from the Economic Accounts for Agriculture between 1990-2005. The results obtained indicate significant convergence in the old Member States and Hungary. First of all this held true for incomes but the inputs do not reveal a perceptible pattern. However, in terms of outputs Hungary lags well behind the Old Member States, but the difference is not nearly as great for inputs. This can probably be explained by the fact that the rate of increase for inputs is higher than for producer prices, meaning the relative prices of agricultural output and input products (agricultural terms of trade)...

This report examines major trends in the amount of food available for consumption in the United States between 1970 and 2005 using data from the ERS Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System. The report also estimates whether Americans are meeting Federal dietary recommendations for each of the major food groups by comparing the data with dietary recommendations in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the MyPyramid Food Guidance System. Findings show that Americans do not meet the Federal dietary recommendations. In order to meet them, Americans would need to substantially lower their intake of added fats, refined grains, and added sugars and sweeteners and increase their consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lowfat milk and milk...

Effect of infrastructure investments on total factor productivity (TFP) in Brazilian agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mendes,   Sergio Magno; Teixeira,   Erly Cardoso; Salvato,   Marcio Antonio.
Since the 1980s, the investments in infrastructure have been significantly reduced, jeopardizing Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and competitiveness of Brazilian agriculture. The Solow growth model with panel data is used to estimate TFP. An adaptation of the Zhang and Fan (2004) model for India, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), is applied to study the effects of infrastructure investments on TFP. The lack of such investments in Brazil caused the effects to be larger and with lag periods smaller than in other countries. These investments affect TFP in the first years, and the study suggests that the return occurs in the period from zero to two years. Among the analyzed infrastructure elements, investments in roads have the greatest impact on...

INCREASES IN DEMAND FOR FOOD IN CHINA AND IMPLICATIONS FOR WORLD AGRICULTURAL TRADE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Koo,   Won W.; Lou,   Jianqiang; Johnson,   Roger G.
China is experiencing rapid economic growth, resulting in increased demand for food. Estimates are made of Chinese production and consumption of rice, wheat, corn, and soybeans to the year 2005. Results indicate that China will become a large net importer especially of wheat, corn, and soybeans. China's grain shipping and handling industries will need to be expanded to handle the increased imports.   Note: Figures are not included in the machine readable copy--contact the authors for more information.

Nitrate Contamination of Groundwater: Determinants and Indicators
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wick,   Katharina; Heumesser,   Christine; Schmid,   Erwin.
Nitrogen is an important input to agricultural production but also detrimentally affects the environmental quality of air, soil and water. Identifying the determinants of nitrate pollution and in turn defining sensible performance indicators to design, enforce and monitor regulatory policies is therefore of utmost importance. Using data on more than 1000 Austrian municipalities, we provide a detailed econometric analysis of (1) the determinants of nitrate concentration in groundwater, and (2) the predictive abilities of one of the most commonly used agri-environmental indicators, the Nitrogen Balance. We find that the proportion of cropland exerts a positive effect on the nitrate content in groundwater. Additionally, environmental factors such as...

THE TRADE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEBATE: RELEVANT FOR SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marchant,   Mary A.; Ballenger,   Nicole.
This paper introduces and briefly discusses the economics of two important trade and environment policy issues--international harmonization of environmental standards and the use trade measures for environmental purposes.  Both issues are likely to generate lively international debate among environmentalists, industry representatives, and trade negotiators over the next few years.  As the international community seeks new multilateral rules in these areas, agricultural producers will want to know how they will be affected.  Thus, this paper also examines the potential impacts of environmental policy on the competitiveness of commodities unique to the Southern region of the United States.

Autores: Butzer,   Rita; Mundlak,   Yair; Larson,   Donald F.
Using time-series data spanning three decades, we examine the determinants of sectoral migration in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.  We used a principal-components algorithm to address the problems associated with trended and intercorrelated explanatory variables.  Migration rates in the three countries are low relative to other developing countries, with the consequence of persistent intersectoral income differentials.  Even so, the rate of migration has been responsive to the income ratios in each country.  The migration rates were also affected by the absorbing capacity of nonagriculture, as indicated by several measures.  In contrast to other studies, policy variables consisting of indicators of physical and human capital had little impact on...

Real and ideal water rights: the prospects for water-rights reform in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Berck,   Peter; Lipow,   Jonathan.
The ideal water contract for a heterogeneous population of users is a prioritized right that is fully vested and fully tradable. A set of tradable, prioritized rights contracts will span the same space as the Debreu contingent commodities. Therefore, they lead to a competitive equilibrium that is Pareto optimal. Equal sharing of water shortfalls does not have this property.  Existing water policies in Israel and the Disputed Territories are not characterized by an efficient set of water contracts. The system misallocates water over both time and space.  Current policies are driven by strategic and ideological objectives. With peace, reform of water policies will become politically feasible. The paper concludes with a proposal for a new water-allocation...

A Ricardian analysis of the impact of climate change on African cropland
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kurukulasuriya,   Pradeep; Mendelsohn,   Robert.
This study examines the impact of climate change on cropland in Africa, using a Ricardian cross-sectional approach. Relying on farm data from an 11-country survey of over 9500 farmers, annual net revenue is regressed on climate and other variables. The study confirms that current climate affects the net revenues of farms across Africa. Applying these results to possible future climates reveals that dryland farms are especially climate sensitive. Even as early as 2020, climate change could have strong negative impacts on currently dry and hot locations. By 2100, dryland crop net revenues could rise by 51% if future warming is mild and wet but fall by 43% if future climates are hot and dry. The crop net revenues of currently irrigated farms are likely to be...

In “The Role of Agriculture in Economic Development,” written nearly a quarter of a century ago, Bruce Johnston and I discussed the principal means by which agriculture could assist in transforming a traditional low-income economy in a modern high-income one. In the intervening years the literature and much of the practice of development has been dominated by either emphasis on industrialization, independent of agricultural development, or on agriculture as a provider of basic human needs, independent of commercialization and industrialization. Perhaps the time is ripe to pick up the old threads of a dynamic interaction between agriculture and industry. Those threads lead to a very specific strategy for development of agriculture itself in which...

Efficiency and technical change in the Western Australian wheatbelt
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Cattle,   Nathan; White,   Benedict.
The production performance of wheatbelt farms in Western Australia is analysed to determine whether potential to exploit scale economies and improve technical efficiency has driven the trend towards increased farm size. An input-orientated stochastic frontier model is used to estimate technical efficiency and scale economies using an unbalanced panel dataset provided by BankWest for the period 1995/1996 to 2005/2006. Differences in the relative efficiency of farms are explored by the simultaneous estimation of a model of inefficiency effects. The results show the majority of wheatbelt farms operate at high levels of technical efficiency and experience increasing returns to scale. Over the study period farms became bigger to benefit from economies of scale,...

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the debate over agricultural trade and environment by asking: Does agricultural trade liberalization under free trade agreement (FTA) reduce pollution from agriculture?  In order to contribute to answering the above research question, we measure the potential impact of environmental pollution from agriculture caused by agricultural trade liberalization under the Japan-Korea FTA (JKFTA), using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model and the OECD Nitrogen Balance Database.  The scenario we model assumes the complete removal of all import tariffs between Japan and Korea, not only in the agricultural sector but in non-agricultural sectors, as well.  The results show the JKFTA is likely to lead to an overall...

Autores: Mandler,   Andreas.
The present article investigates the influence of local governance on agricultural advisory services in Tajikistan. The Central Asian Republic of Tajikistan is an agricultural country that has been described as a hybrid state, where local governance tends to be dominated by a few powerful actors. Local governance processes do have a strong influence on the agriculture practise and on the exchange of the knowledge. Agricultural advisory services claim various effects in the country. Especially in regions that are dominated by monocultures, advisory services have limited success. Therefore the present article assumes that the nexus of knowledge and innovation in Tajik agriculture is largely dependent on the decision-making of local governance processes. The...

This paper aims to review the role of farm households and the agro-food sector in the economy of rural areas in Korea. It discusses definition of rural area, share of agricultural and agro-food sectors in Korean economy, the income situation of farm households and non-farming activities, and multiplier effects of agriculture in Korea. Rural areas mean Eup and Myeon, whereas Dong means urban area. Rural population in Korea has continued to decrease over the years. In 2005, 18.3% of total land area, or 1,824thousand ha, was used for paddy and dry fields. The share of GRDP of agricultural, forestry, and fishing sectors was about 10% in 1985, but dropped to slightly over 3% in 2005.

Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the EU: A spatial assessment of sources and abatement costs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: de Cara,   Stephane; Houze,   Martin; Jayet,   Pierre-Alain.
Agriculture contributes significantly to the emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU. By using a farm-type, linear-programming based model of the European agricultural supply, we first assess the initial levels of methane and nitrous oxide emissions at the regional level in the EU. For a range of CO2 prices, we assess the potential abatement that can be achieved through an IPCC-based emission tax in EU agriculture, as well as the resulting optimal mix of emission sources in the total abatement. Further, we show that the spatial variability of the abatement actually achieved at a given carbon price is large, indicating that abatement cost heterogeneity is a fundamental feature in the design of a mitigation policy. We assess the efficiency loss associated...

Policy Reform and Farm Sector Adjustment in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Landes,   Rip; Gulati,   Ashok.
Policy reforms outside agriculture in the early 1990s accelerated growth in per capita incomes and food demand and also improved the terms of trade for the agriculture. Agricultural policies and institutions, traditionally focused on achieving food grain self sufficiency within a closed economy, have, however, been slow to adapt to a new environment of diversifying demand, more open markets, and a greater role for the private sector. Support price policy has remained delinked from domestic and international market realities, creating significant budgetary costs and market distortion. Inability to reform price policy and contain input subsidies has led to a decline in public investment in agriculture at a time when investment in new infrastructure and...

Joining the European Union club implies, among many other policy changes, full integration of Romania's economy into EU's customs union. This is expected to have significant implications for domestic farmers and food processors. The paper constructs a single-country Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) model to investigate the impact of tariff border adjustments on changes in relative prices, production and trade patterns associated with fifteen local agro-food activities. Moreover, the modelling work identifies those agro-food sectors that have the potential to benefit the most from EU enlargement in terms of output effects given that Romanian producers are capable of fully responding to the incentives provided with integration. These mainly include (bovine)...

This paper addresses the challenge of developing a ‘bottom-up’ marginal abatement cost curve (MACC) for greenhouse gas emissions from UK agriculture. A MACC illustrates the costs of specific crop, soil, and livestock abatement measures against a ‘‘business as usual’’ scenario. The results indicate that in 2022 under a specific policy scenario, around 5.38 MtCO2 equivalent (e) could be abated at negative or zero cost. A further 17% of agricultural GHG emissions (7.85 MtCO2e) could be abated at a lower unit cost than the UK Government’s 2022 shadow price of carbon (£34 (tCO2e)-1). The paper discusses a range of methodological hurdles that complicate cost-effectiveness appraisal of abatement in agriculture relative to other sectors.

Autores: Beierle,   Thomas C.
This paper examines current agricultural trade negotiations at the World Trade Organization, with particular attention to the relationship between liberalization and developing countries' economic growth and food security. Agriculture remains one of the most highly protected arenas of international trade. The cost of such protection falls particularly hard on developing countries, where agriculture typically accounts for a much higher share of economic output, exports, and employment than in developed countries. Although the 1994 Uruguay Round of trade talks succeeded in bringing agriculture into the rules-based trading system, it did little to actually reduce agricultural trade protection. This paper describes how three important actors in the...

Agricultural Insurances Based on Meteorological Indices: Realizations, Methods and Research Agenda
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leblois,   Antoine; Quirion,   Philippe.
In many low-income countries, agriculture is mostly rain-fed and yields highly depend on climatic factors. Furthermore, farmers have little access to traditional crop insurance, which suffers from high information asymmetry and transaction costs. Insurances based on meteorological indices could fill this gap since they do not face such drawbacks. However their implementation has been slow so far.  In this article, we first describe the most advanced projects that have taken place in developing countries using these types of crop insurances. We then describe the methodology that has been used to design such projects, in order to choose the meteorological index, the indemnity schedule and the insurance premium. We finally draw an agenda for research in...

Autores: Kotorman,   Annamaria.
A mezőgazdasági vállalkozások felszámolásának kedvezőtlen káros hatásai a társadalom széles rétegeit érintik. A kutatás célja az agrárvállalkozások felszámolásához vezető okok elemzése 17 felszámolásra került mezőgazdasági gazdálkodó szervezetben, hogy a tanulságok előmozdítsák a fizetésképtelenség megelőzését és kezelését.  A vizsgált vállalkozásokban a likviditási gyorsráta, a saját tőke aránya és az eladósodottság mutatószámainak figyelemmel kísérése a fizetésképtelenség elkerülését segíthette volna. Megállapítható továbbá, hogy alacsony saját tőkével a mezőgazdasági termelés hosszú távon nem folytatható, ezért szükséges, hogy a befektetők a termelés jellegének megfelelő jegyzett tőkével alapítsanak vállalkozást, mert a hitelek felvétele nem pótolja,...

HUMAN CAPITAL, EDUCATION, AND AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.
Education is widely recognized as the most important form of human capital, and health as the second most important form.  The primary focus is on schooling where private and social real rates of return remain high in low and middle income countries for elementary and secondary schooling.  The paper reviews broad effects of education in agriculture, and examines some of the prospects and potential for the future.  Conclusions include: (i) schooling cannot be viewed as unconditionally productive in agriculture.  It s impact is conditioned by the price and technology environment and options for off-farm work and migration. (ii) With rapid advances and fall prices of communication and information technologies, farm people of the future will need strong basic...

Dynamic Optimization of Nitrogen Use in Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Burnett,   J. Wesley; Ferrer,   Myra Clarisse R.
Agricultural production is highly dependent on inorganic substances including fertilizers. High-yielding crop varieties, such as corn, require large amounts of primary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Farmers often add a surplus of nutrients to crops to maximize yields. Utilization of primary nutrients has increased by more than 300% while that of nitrogen alone has increased by more than 600% between 1960 and 2007 (USDA, 2009). From 1964 to 2007, the use of nitrogen in the corn sector alone increased from 1,623,000 to 5,714,000 nutrient tons (USDA, 2009).             While increasing production, increased fertilizer use can potentially create negative externalities in the form of nitrate-nitrogen contamination in groundwater....

PROFITS AND RISK: FITTING AN OLD FRAMEWORK TO A NEW AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wachenheim,   Cheryl J.; Saxowsky,   David M.
Textbooks in agricultural economics characterize resources used in production agriculture into four categories:  land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurial ability.  Profit is presented as earned by management.  This traditional list of resources is respecified.  Management is redefined as a specialized type of labor and two additional resources, information and risk bearing capacity, are added.  Profits accrue not to management but to those able to bear the risk inherent in production agriculture.  Equity diversification is a means for farmers to provide and manage this resource and, thus, earn economic profits.  Producer education and the repeal or amendment of legislation restricting the ability of farmers to diversify their equity investment are needed.

Productivity Growth in U.S. Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fuglie,   Keith O.; MacDonald,   James C.; Ball,   V. Eldon.
Innovation and changes in technology have been a driving force for gains in productivity growth in U.S. agriculture. USDA's Economic Research Service has developed annual indexes of agricultural inputs, outputs, and total factor productivity (TFP) for 1948 through 2004. American agriculture relies almost entirely on productivity growth to raise output. By lowering the cost of agricultural commodities, productivity growth benefits not only farmers but also food manufacturers and consumers.

Autores: Ivanovic,   Lana; Jelocnik,   Marko; Bekić,   Bojana.
Belgrade, as administrative, economic and cultural centre of Republic of Serbia, covers total area of 3.224 km2. From this area, 69,1% is agricultural land, which represents fundamental base for establishment of agricultural production. Live stock breeding, on the territory of Belgrade city, as well as in entire Republic of Serbia, is the most important branch of agriculture. On observed territory animal products’ processing industry (dairies and slaughter houses) especially is developed. Because of that, increment of total live stock breeding production is of great importance for this territory. For growth of live stock breeding competitiveness, in this paper work concrete activities are suggested, such as specialization and increment of production...

Factors Affecting Biotechnology Innovation in Canada: Analysis of the 2001 Biotechnology Use and Development Survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: van Moorsel,   Daryl; Cranfield,   John A.L.; Sparling,   David.
Advancement in biotechnology requires continued innovative activity by firms.  To grow, biotechnology firms must understand the factors affecting their innovative activity.  Such understanding also informs policy makers, and supports the development of policies promoting one's biotechnology sector.  This study explores factors which determine innovative activity within the Canadian biotechnology industry.  Innovative activity is measured as the natural log of the number of products/processes a firm has at different stages of the innovation spectrum.  A model is developed to regress this measure on several determinants of innovation.  Significant drivers of innovation include: collaborative arrangements, transfer of intellectual property, firm size and age,...

Positional Advantage within Small Farms: Evidence from Illinois
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Micheels,   Eric T.; Gow,   Hamish R.
As the economic viability of small farms continues to be an issue facing policy makers and economists alike, a market orientation may be a valuable resource producers can develop as they compete in a marketplace dominated by larger firms. Marketing and strategy scholars have long established the importance of a market orientation in determining firm performance. More recently, scholars have studied the effect of these concepts in agriculture. Extending the literature of market orientation in agriculture, this study examines the concept of a positional advantage and its effect on performance using a sample of small farms in Illinois. Using a sample of 347 Illinois beef producers, we empirically measure and test the construct of positional advantage and test...

VIABILITY THEORY AND SOIL DEVELOPMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huck,   Petra.
We utilize Viability theory to evaluate the effects of CAP. A differential equation describes the dynamic development of soil productivity. If farmers do without entitlement, they are free in soil handling. And as we assume they are short-term profit maximizers, they miss to pay attention to soil conservation. Soil productivity is at risk; correspondingly, economic sustainability is at risk. But if farmers activate their entitlements, they become obliged to soil conserving measures. The model demonstrates that the decision to participate or not at the "entitlement &amp; cross compliance"-program, depends on payment-level and the effects of the decision depend on the dynamics of the environmental system.

Weather index drought insurance: an ex ante evaluation for millet growers in Niger
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leblois,   Antoine; Quirion,   Philippe; Alhassane,   Agali; Traore,   Seydou.
In the Sudano-Sahelian region, which includes South Niger, the inter-annual variability of the rainy season is high and irrigation is scarce. As a consequence, bad rainy seasons have a massive impact on crop yield and regularly entail food crises. Traditional insurances based on crop damage assessment are not available because of asymmetric information and high transaction costs compared to the value of production. We assess the risk mitigation capacity of an alternative form of insurance which has been implemented in India since 2003: insurance based on a weather index. We compare the capacity of various weather indices to increase utility of a representative risk-averse farmer. We show the importance of using plot-level yield data rather than village...

The regional specifity of structural change in agriculture: An assessment of the role of farmers’ strategic behaviour on the land market
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Margarian,   Anne.
Among the family-farms in western Germany, significant regional differences are observable. They exist not only with respect to present farm-structure but also with respect to patterns of structural change. In the present paper, the different farm-development-strategies that cause these regional patterns are explained economically. As a central cause for their stability in a competitive environment, the relatedness of agricultural production to the non-renewable factor land is identified. Moreover, the coordination of the different strategies, which results in regional clusters, is shown to evolve endogenously in a model of strategic interaction on the land-market. It is demonstrated that due to the existence of rents of the status quo and resulting...

Changing Factor Income Shares in Agri-Food Industries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Konduru,   Srinivasa; Bjornson,   Bruce.
A concern in the political economy is how national income is shared between labor and capital.  This study evaluates long-term changes in factor income shares in three agri-food industries, their attribution to the level of factor usage or to factor compensation rates, and relation to changes in capital intensity and factor productivity.  We find long-term stability in the profit and labor shares of farm income, decline, in the profit share of agricultural serviced industry income, and increase in the profit share of food manufacturing income due to fewer productivity improvements being passed on to wage increases.

Optimal taxation with joint production of agriculture and rural amenities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Casamatta,   Georges; Rausser,   Gordon C.; Simon,   Leo K.
We show that, when there is joint production of an agricultural good and rural amenities, the first-best allocation of resources can be implemented with a tax on the agricultural good and some subsidies on the production factors (land and labor). The use of a subsidy on the agricultural good can only be explained by the desire of the policymaker to redistribute income from the consumers to the farmers.

This paper presents econometric evidence of the effects of  economic incentives and institutions on national aggregate private agricultural R&amp;D investments.  A model is proposed and fitted to annual data for seven European Union countries, 1984-1995.  We find strong impacts of both incentives and institutions on private agricultural R&amp;D investment, and including institutional factors strengthens the story and in some cases changes greatly the results. In particular, we reject the hypothesis that quality of property rights does not matter.  We find that stronger contract enforcement, more efficient public bureaucracies, and stronger patent rights lead to larger aggregate private agricultural R&amp;D investment, other things equal.  Furthermore, we...

The purpose of this study was to collect and characterize the economic evidence available to date, organize it, and determine if any general implications can be drawn from it. The general classes of economic impacts at the farm level are discussed. The types of studies that generate estimates of these benefits are also characterized and categorized in terms of the implications for measuring economic impacts when the set of things held constant in the type of study does not correspond to those that economic theory suggests. The evidence is...

It distinguishes between classification of policy measures and measurement of support, between measures and support, among measures classified in various categories, between applied support and commitments, and between applied support that counts towards commitments and applied support that does not. It highlights certain issues, including the role of criteria in classifying policy measures (such as those...

Is There Surplus Labor in Rural India?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Foster,   Andrew D.; Rosenzweig,   Mark R.
We show empirically using panel data at the plot and farm level and based on a model incorporating supervision costs, risk, credit-market imperfections and scale-economies associated with mechanization that small-scale farming is inefficient in India. Larger farms are more profitable per acre, more mechanized, less constrained in input use after bad shocks, and employ less per-acre labor than small farms. Based on our structural estimates of the effects of farm size on labor use and the distribution of Indian landholdings, we estimate that over 20% of the Indian agricultural labor force is surplus if minimum farm scale is 20 acres.

Autores: Heidelbach,   Olaf.
Recent academic discussion regarding crop insurance in developing and transition countries has focused on weather index insurance. But empirical analyses of such schemes based on farm level data cannot be found in the literature, though this insurance type shows clear advantages compared to multiple-peril crop insurance and revenue insurance. Recent empirical applications of risk and stochastic programming models focus on the optimisation of production planning, while literature on the effects of crop insurance on the farm level mainly focuses on the empirical investigation of reductions in farm income variance. The novelty of this paper is that it integrates regionally-adapted insurance products and expert-evaluated technology choices into a programming...

Autores: Romano,   Donato.
This paper aims at analyzing the asymmetries in the process of globalization and its differentiated outcomes on (i) developed and less developed countries, and (ii) on LDC agriculture. The consequences of these asymmetries are reflected in the dramatic changes in world agricultural trade – an unprecedented growth of agricultural trade in real terms and a dramatic change in its composition which is increasingly moving away from bulk commodities towards high-value, processed consumer-ready agricultural goods. The impacts of these changes on LDC agriculture have been quite differentiated, with most countries experiencing a worsening of their agricultural trade balance. This change of the LDC trade position is counterintuitive if we still think of agricultural...

Sectoral Growth in Chile: 1962-82
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Coeymans,   Juan Eduardo; Mundlak,   Yair.
To understand the time path of agricultural development, the cause for the variability in sectoral outputs must be examined as part of the general process of economic growth. Such as examination is the focus of this report by Juan Eduardo Coeymans and Yair Mundiak, which appears at a time when there is a great deal of interest in the ability to sustain agricultural as well as general economic growth. This research extends beyond previous studies of agricultural growth at IFPRI by Mudlak and his associates by looking at the economy as consisting of five sectors that vary in their degree of tradablilty as well as in other attributes that caused differential response to the rapidly changing economic conditions in Chile from 1960 on. The study uses an...

AFRICA GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY ACT (AGOA) AND AFRICAN AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Akanji,   O.O.
AGOA directs the President of the United States to convene an annual meeting between the U.S. government and representatives of eligible African countries and to prepare an annual report to Congress on U.S. trade and investment policies with sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Currently, Angola, Gabon, Nigeria and South Africa- accounted for the bulk (84 percent) of U.S. total imports from SSA. Since the passage of AGOA, the business climate has improved for non-agricultural exports and growth in these sectors has made relatively low direct benefits to Africa’s poor. Consequently, expanding AGOA’s application to African agriculture would have a significant impact on reducing hunger and poverty and therefore, on improving overall conditions in SSA. As a result of...

INSTABILITY AND RISK IN U.S. AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goodwin,   Barry K.
The U.S. government has been extensively involved in providing income support and risk management policies for U.S. farmers over the last 65 years. Risk management policies have included crop insurance, disaster relief, and in recent years, revenue insurance. Recent policy changes signaled an intention on the part of policy makers, at least in principle, to move U.S. agriculture toward the free market. Low commodity prices and localized droughts, however, have brought about renewed calls for direct income assistance. In this paper, we discuss the role of the government in providing policies to address income shortfalls and risk in agriculture. Problems and inconsistencies with policies are identified and discussed.  Implications for international markets...

Farmland Allocation along the Rural-Urban Gradient: The Impacts of Urbanization and Urban Sprawl
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Delbecq,   Benoit A.; Florax,   Raymond J.G.M.
In the vicinity of a city, farmers are confronted with increasing agricultural land prices and rents along the rural-urban gradient, but they concurrently enjoy the advantages associated with proximity to a larger and wealthier consumer base. We hypothesize that farmers transition from low-value, land-intensive \traditional" crops to high-value, labor-intensive \specialized" crops on parcels located closer to urban centers. Once returns to development of a parcel exceed the profits associated with farming, exurban farmers may sell their land for conversion to urban use. Urban pressure in the rural-urban fringe intensifies as cities expand. We differentiate between a gradual process of urban growth (or urbanization) and urban sprawl. Utilizing farmland...

Transforming the functional structure of Poland’s rural areas
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Banski,   Jerzy.
This article is devoted to changes in the functional structure of Poland’s rural areas in the years 1988-1999, that is – in the period of transition from the socialist to market economy and the country’s preparations for the EU accession. As the result of functional classification of rural areas carried out in 1999, it proved possible to identify ten functional classes, which can be associated into five groups (i.e. areas with an agricultural function, with equal contribution from different functions, with prevalent forestry, with prevalent tourist/rest-and-recreation function, and with prevalent non-agricultural function). The functional classification obtained revealed that the ten-year period brought a strengthening of the agricultural function in...

Impact of rural poverty reduction strategies: The case of smallholders in Sierra Leone

Autores: Sammeth,   Frank; Lakoh,   Alpha; Michel,   Baudouin; Hites,   Gisele; Gomez y Paloma,   Sergio.
The present analysis, which exploits one of the first empirical data collected from smallholders in Sierra Leone since the end of the civil war, compares the impact of two poverty reduction strategies targeting smallholders in Sierra Leone: support to rice production is compared with support to coffee and cocoa production in terms of sustainable income generation and contributing to macroeconomic stability and growth. Supporting rice production is intended to help the country regain self-sufficiency in its traditional principle staple. This will help towards improving food security and reducing dependency on volatile world market prices which, for example, with respect to the recent global spike has had dramatic effects on the lowest incomes.  Support to...

Patriotic Consumers and the Political Economics of Agricultural Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Eriksson,   Clas; Fahlbeck,   Erik.
It is well documented that consumers tend to be patriotic in their choices of food. This paper theoretically examines the consequences of such patriotic behavior for agricultural policy, assuming that the policy is decided by the median voter. The analysis is conducted in the framework of a small open economy, with a ricardian production structure. Consumers differ with respect to how much extra they are prepared to pay for a domestically produced agricultural good. The indirect utility functions are used to find the specific values of tariffs and agricultural subsidies that the various households prefer. For the tariff we find that only the group that buys the domestically produced agricultural good will favor a strictly positive tariff. This tariff is...

Autores: Karpati,   Laszlo; Csapo,   Zsolt; Kozar,   Laszlo.
The change of the political Hungarian regime in 1990 affected deeply the economy of the country. This change made effects in each national branch, thus in the agriculture, as well. A lot of new companies dealing with agricultural production and trading has also been established in these years. Since the early '90s a lot of EU support programmes were available targeting these enterprises and providing them to strengthen their competitiveness. One of these programmes was the PHARE IPP Project for the subsidisation of the agricultural investments (between 1996-1998). The University of Debrecen was involved in the implementation, monitoring and assessment process of this project. Based on the results and suggestions of the university, new supporting elements...

Growth and Equity Effects of Agricultural Marketing Efficiency Gains in India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Landes,   Maurice R.; Burfisher,   Mary E.
Agriculture is the largest source of employment in India, and food accounts for about half of consumer expenditures. Moving agricultural products from the farm to consumers more efficiently could result in large gains to producers, consumers, and India’s overall economy. This analysis uses a computable general equilibrium model with agricultural commodity detail and households disaggregated by rural, urban, and income class to study the potential impacts of reforms that achieve efficiency gains in agricultural marketing and reduce agricultural input subsidies and import tariffs. More efficient agricultural marketing generates economywide gains in output and wages, raises agricultural producer prices, reduces consumer food prices, and increases private...

Effect of infrastructure investments on total factor productivity (TFP) in Brazilian agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mendes,   Sergio Magno; Teixeira,   Erly Cardoso; Salvato,   Marcio Antonio.
Since the 1980s, the investments in infrastructure have been significantly reduced, jeopardizing Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and competitiveness of Brazilian agriculture. The Solow growth model with panel data is used to estimate TFP. An adaptation of the Zhang and Fan (2004) model for India, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), is applied to study the effects of infrastructure investments on TFP. The lack of such investments in Brazil caused the effects to be larger and with lag periods smaller than in other countries. These investments affect TFP in the first years, and the study suggests that the return occurs in the period from zero to two years. Among the analyzed infrastructure elements, investments in roads have the greatest impact on...

Factor Content of Agricultural Trade: The Role of Firm Heterogeneity and Transaction Costs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kancs,   d'Artis; Ciaian,   Pavel.
In this paper we study the determinants of the factor content of the CEE agricultural trade. Examining empirically three hypothesis, which relate cross-country differences in technology, relative factor abundance and transaction costs and market imperfections to the factor content of trade, we find that the first two hypotheses are confirmed by the majority of the developed EU countries, but rejected by roughly one half of the CEE transition country pairs. Second, we find that when accounting for transaction costs of farm (re)organisation, both hypotheses are confirmed by the majority of the CEE country pairs. These findings provide empirical evidence of market imperfections, and particularly, of transaction costs of farm (re)organisation in the CEE.

Natural Disasters and Agriculture: Individual Risk Preference towards Flooding
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sauer,   Johannes.
This study contributes to the understanding of behavioural responses to climate change induced extreme weather events. It suggest a microeconometric method for measuring flooding related risk preferences of affected individuals. The method is outlined using the empirical case of agricultural production in floodplains of the UK over 28 years. A quasi-experimental approach to measure differences in the risk attitudes of farmers located in high flooding risk areas versus farmers located in low flooding risk areas is followed. Changes in flooding risk related behaviour over time is analysed and marginal effects of different individual and disaster related characteristics for this behaviour are investigated. Beside a moments based risk estimation approach the...

On the Growth Performance of Sub-Saharan African Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Busse,   Matthias.
The article discusses some of the most important reasons for the poor growth performance of most countries in sub-Saharan Africa. While high protection levels in high-income countries in Europe and North America for agricultural trade have been cited as a major impediment for the development of African countries, they are unlikely to play a major role. Rather, a lack of integration into world markets and the relatively poor quality of African institutions are more likely to explain the low growth rates.

Effectiveness of agricultural extension with respect to farm size: The case of Uganda
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Betz,   Michael R.
Raising the incomes of agricultural households is central to reducing poverty in Uganda. In many areas of the country agriculture has encroached into marginal or fragile lands, leaving little room for the expansion of agricultural lands (Kraybill, Bashaasha, and Betz 2009). Additionally, soil degradation has become a barrier to agricultural productivity (Pender et al. 2004), especially in the Eastern region of the country. Farmers now look for alternatives that will increase output without further depleting soil fertility or expanding into fragile lands. Agricultural extension is the primary government mechanism through which developing country governments attempt to improve the knowledge and methods that farmers use to increase output; However, many...

Eficiencia de las reglas de asignacion de agua en el regadio: asignacion a traves de mercados, de la regla proporcional y de la regla uniforme
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Goetz,   Renan-Ulrich; Martinez,   Yolanda Martinez; Rodrigo,   Jofre.
En el presente trabajo se simula la introducción de diferentes métodos de reparto del agua en la agricultura, y se aplican a una zona de regadío del valle central del Ebro. En concreto, se han escogido tres métodos diferentes de asignación con el fin de comparar su eficiencia económica. Además del actual sistema proporcional y el sistema de mercado, se simulará la introducción de la regla de reparto uniforme, desarrollada en la teoría de la elección social. Los resultados permiten concluir que aunque el mercado de agua conduzca a mejores resultados globales en todos los casos, la regla uniforme puede resultar una alternativa interesante cuando las dotaciones de agua se encuentran en el intervalo habitual, mientras que en situaciones de escasez severa de...

The Impacts of Water Management Policies on Agricultural Production in Australia - An Economic Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Burdack,   Doreen; Baldwin,   Claudia; Lotze-Campen,   Hermann; von Witzke,   Harald; Biewald,   Anne.
In the Australian Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) the combination of severe and prolonged droughts and historic water management decisions to divert water for cultivation stressed water resources in such an intensive manner that wetlands went dry and rivers are now far from a natural flow. More appropriate water management policies must be implemented to restore ecological function. However, with 39 % of Australia’s total value of agricultural production, transitions in use need to be managed to minimise economic and social impacts on basin communities while they adjust. Recent studies estimate that industries with high water usage but lower or more volatile value products will be impacted more than higher value products. Therefore, this study’s focus is to...

The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) has continued to be fiercely debated between North and South, particularly with respect to its provisions for the agricultural sector. Article 27.3(b) of the TRIPS Agreement requires WTO member countries to offer some form of intellectual property protection for new plant varieties, either in the form of patents (common in the U.S.) or plant breeder’s rights (PBR). This paper analyses the effects of the introduction of PBRs in almost 70 importing countries on the value of exports of agricultural seeds and planting material from 10 exporting EU countries, including all principal traditional exporters of seeds, as well as the US.

Technologies for Meeting Future Global Demands for Food
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Crosson,   Pierre; Anderson,   Jock R.
Food can be produced under a number of technological conditions. Some observers hold that modern crop production technologies, typified by those embodied in the Green Revolution, are so intensive in the use of external inputs that they damage the environment and so are not sustainable. Those observers argue that "alternative" technologies that use fewer, safer external inputs mark the path toward agricultural sustainability. But the question arises: will those alternative technologies permit increases in global food production on the required scale? In this paper, we address this question and the conflicting arguments regarding the answer.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Seo,   S. Niggol; Mendelsohn,   Robert.
This paper examines climate change impacts on South American agriculture using a set of Ricardian regressions estimated across different samples of farms in South America. Regressions are run for the whole sample and for subsamples of crop-only, mixed, and livestock-only farms. The results indicate that climate sensitivity varies a great deal across each type of farm.  The analysis also reveals that the impacts will vary substantially across South America.  The hot and wet Amazon and Equatorial regions are likely to lose the most from warming scenarios whereas the more temperate high elevation and southern regions of South America will likely gain.

The wide spread increase in rural purchasing power under the Green Revolution in Asia during the 1970s was key to increased rural employment and industrialization. Studies suggested that an extra dollar of agricultural income was typically associated with an additional $0.80 of nonagricultural income from local enterprises stimulated by the spending of farm house holds. Studies in Africa, where the Green Revolution was harder to discern, tended to be much more pessimistic. This report revisits these issues using especially detailed panel data sets on rural consumption and incomes, collected by IFPRI and collaborating national institutions for a variety of purposes during the mid to late 1980s in Burkina Faso, Niger, Senegal, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Explaining differences in farms efficiencies in Polish agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hockmann,   Heinrich; Pieniadz,   Agata.
This paper deals with the estimation of a random coefficient model. The virtue of this approach is that it considers firm heterogeneity, which conventional SFA models do not. When the model is applied to Polish farms, the results indicate that the conventional random and fixed effect models overestimate the potential production increases due to the reduction of inefficiency. Additionally, our findings provide evidence of the importance of input quality for efficiency analysis. Moreover, the results indicate that farm heterogeneity is a significant determinant of agricultural production. We found that differences in productivity between the farms can partly be attributed to farm size, degree of integration in the product markets and incurred transaction...

Food Self-Sufficiency, Comparative Advantage, and Agricultural Trade: A Policy Analysis Matrix for Chinese Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fang,   Cheng; Beghin,   John C.
We assess the comparative advantage and protection of China's major agricultural crops using a modified Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) and 1996 to 1998 data. We consider the following commodities: early indica rice, late indica rice, japonica rice, south wheat, north wheat, south corn, north corn, sorghum, soybean, rapeseed, cotton, tobacco, sugarcane, and a subset of fruits and vegetables. Consistent with the intuition of the simple Heckscher-Ohlin model, the results strongly suggest that China has a comparative advantage in labor-intensive crops, and a disadvantage in land-intensive crops. Specifically, land-intensive grain and oilseed crops are less socially profitable than fruits and vegetables. Within the grain sector, high quality rice and high quality...

A globális pénzügyi és a kibontakozó gazdasági válság időszakában a munkanélküliség jelenti a legsúlyosabb társadalmi és szociális problémát az Európai Unióban és hazánkban is. A tanulmány az országos adatok és folyamatok tükrében az Észak-alföldi Régió munkanélküliséggel kapcsolatos problémáit tárja fel, különös tekintettel az agrárfoglalkoztatás helyzetére. A kutatás egyik legfontosabb következtetése, hogy minél nagyobb a munkanélküliség az adott térségben, annál nagyobb a munkanélküliek között a mezőgazdasági tevékenységgel foglalkozók aránya, azaz a mezőgazdaság szociális ellátó funkciója ezen körzetekben különösen fontos szerepet játszik.

In countries that are heavily dependent on agriculture for employment and income, underperformance is not only untenable but also potentially explosive. This is the case in the countries of eastern and central Africa—Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda—where tens of millions of people face ongoing poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. This report, the result of a two-year collaboration between the International Food Policy Research Institute and the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa, identifies how eastern and central African countries can stimulate agricultural growth to address these dire circumstances. The findings suggest that...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to alert food producers to emerging market demands associated with climate change. Design/methodology/approach – The study draws on literature review and applied market research. Findings – Many food retailers are applying pressure to their value chains to measure and manage carbon emissions. Although consumers play a role, consumers are not the main driver compelling retailers to respond to climate change. Research limitations/implications – This study only interviewed retailers in the United Kingdom and Japan as these are markets that are of particular interest for Australian food exporters. Originality/value – Consumers and retailers in export markets are responding to climate change. The research suggests that...

MoRST is evaluating the Environmental Research output class of the Public Good Science Fund to identify inter alia the impacts of Environmental RS&amp;T spending. Three specific questions are: How effective has the funding on Environmental RS&amp;T been? Is Environmental RS&amp;T having a positive effect by delivering real benefits to New Zealand, particularly to the environment? What influences the link between research and tangible positive benefits? This paper reports how case studies applied to irrigated agriculture and mussel farming were used to provide partial answers to these three questions. The case studies proceed by noting the possible benefits that Environmental RS&amp;T may have created, and then tracing the link back to specific research...

The WTO, Agricultural Trade Reform and the Environment: Nitrogen and Agro-chemical Indicators for the OECD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rae,   Allan N.; Strutt,   Anna.
The WTO Ministerial Statement of November 2001 mandates work on those situations where reduction of trade restrictions would benefit both trade and the environment. To contribute to such research, we use a modified version of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model to estimate for OECD countries' changes in two environmental indicators resulting from simulated trade reforms: the impact on regional nitrogen balances, and associated changes in intensity of agro-chemical use. The trade reforms simulated lead to slightly improved nitrogen balances at the aggregate OECD level, with more ambitious trade reform resulting in a larger aggregate improvement. Most regions with a high initial per hectare nitrogen surplus are expected to experience some...

SMALL FARMS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: IS SMALL MORE SUSTAINABLE?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: D'Souza,   Gerard E.; Ikerd,   John E.
A new, post-industrial, paradigm for agriculture is emerging under the concept of sustainable agriculture. The sustainability paradigm has emerged to solve problems created by the industrial model, primarily environmental pollution and resource base degradation. The role of farm size in this transformation to a more sustainable agriculture is the issue addressed. Using a descriptive approach, and relying on a survey of the literature including emerging paradigms and observations, we conclude that, from a sustainability perspective, the smallest effective size will be the most competitive size for farms, as for other knowledge-based enterprises of the future.

This is the seventh in the series of the Centre's publications providing specific and wide-ranging data on coarse grains, pulses, roots and tuber (CGPRT) crops in the humid tropics of Asia and the Pacific. The crop sub-sector dominates the agricultural scenario in Bangladesh. The greater uniformity of the landmass, the fertile alluvial soil and the tropical monsoon climate provide excellent conditions for crop production. If other things remain unchanged, agriculture will continue to play the main role in the growth and stability of the economy of Bangladesh for many years to come. This volume covers time-series statistics of Bangladesh on seventeen CGPRT crops plus two major cereals (rice and wheat) reporting area, production and yield at both national...

Rural Investments to Accelerate Growth and Poverty Reduction in Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Thurlow,   James; Kiringai,   Jane; Gautam,   Madhur.
Kenya’s economy is relatively diverse, with both agricultural and industrial potential. However, the economy has performed poorly over the last decade, and poverty and inequality have risen. This paper examines the impact of alternative growth paths and rural investments on poverty using an economy-wide model. It finds that if Kenya continues along its current growth path, its economy will have to grow by more than 10 percent per year over the coming decade to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving poverty by 2015. Therefore, Kenya must search for alternative sources of poverty-reducing growth. The results of the model indicate that poverty is unlikely to decline significantly without an acceleration of agricultural growth. Growth in...

The Prophecies of the Naysayers - Assessing the Vision of the Protectionists in the U.S.-Canada Debate on Agricultural Reciprocity, 1846-1854
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kerr,   William A.; Forgrave,   Robert J.
Debates over proposals to liberalise international trade are often heated and acrimonious. They are often argued, in part, on the basis of projections of market conditions after the proposed liberalisation. These argument are often important in influencing trade policy decisions, yet their accuracy is seldom assessed after liberalisation takes place. As a result, the projections may be more influential than they should be. This paper examines the projections of protectionists in the debate surrounding a proposed reciprocity agreement between the United States and British North America over the period 1846-1854 as a case study. The protectionist prophesies on both sides of the border were found not to be supported by the evidence from the subsequent period...

An Updated Look at the Recovery of Agricultural Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nin Pratt,   Alejandro; Yu,   Bingxin.
We analyze the evolution of Sub-Saharan Africa’s agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) over the past 40 years, looking for evidence of recent changes in growth patterns using a nonparametric Malmquist index. Our TFP estimates show a remarkable recovery in the performance of Sub-Saharan Africa’s agriculture during between 1984 and 2003 after a long period of poor performance and decline. That recovery is the consequence of improved efficiency in production resulting from changes in the output structure and an adjustment in the use of inputs, including an overall net reduction in fertilizer use but increased fertilizer use in most of the best-performing countries. Policy changes implemented by African countries between the mid-1980s and the second...

Economic reform in the Central and Eastern European countries in the 1980s helped transform the structure and volume of agricultural production, consumption and trade, and resulted in significant agricultural productivity improvements. However, there are large differences among the transition countries in the magnitude and direction of these changes. The main objective of this study is to measure and compare the levels and trends in agricultural productivity in transition countries with those of the European Union (EU) countries making use of the most recent data available from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This study employs a parametric distance function approach to measure Malmquist productivity index as well as the magnitude and...

Market opportunities for African agriculture: a general equilibrium examination of demand-side constraints on agricultural growth in East and Southern Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Diao,   Xinshen; Dorosh,   Paul A.; Rahman,   Shaikh Mahfuzur.
In today’s more integrated world economy, agricultural growth in Africa depends not only on raising productivity and increasing production, but on increasing the competitiveness of African agriculture in the global market and expanding its market opportunities within Africa. Unless demand increases, African agriculture cannot grow at a rate sufficient to reduce poverty and hunger to any substantial degree. The accelerated economic growth in Africa in recent years might offer increased opportunities for agriculture from domestic demand. This research report focuses on demand-side constraints on African agricultural growth and their implications for three broad agricultural development strategies: promoting traditional exports, developing nontraditional...

Autores: Holden,   Stein T.; Shiferaw,   Bekele A.; Pender,   John L.
Soil fertility and the lack of fertilizer use in Africa are frequently discussed topics. The problems of land degradation and low agricultural productivity, which result in food insecurity and poverty, are particularly severe in the rural highlands of Ethiopia. In many areas, a downward spiral of land degradation and poverty appears to be occurring. Finding solutions to these problems requires identifying effective entry points for farmers, governments, and civil society organizations, and understanding the potential impacts and tradeoffs that are likely to arise from alternative interventions. This report seeks to improve that understanding, using a bioeconomic model of land management and agricultural production developed for a community that is fairly...

PARTIAL PRODUCTIVITY OF AGRICULTURE IN THE WESTERN BALKAN COUNTRIES – IMPLICATION FOR COMPETITIVENESS OF THE RURAL ECONOMY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zekic,   Stanislav; Gajic,   Milivoj; Lovre,   Koviljko.
The process of transition and, within it, the agricultural transformation in the Western Balkan countries resulted, in the first phase, in the weakening of the developmental performances in agriculture. Such tendencies widened the gap between the countries of the Western Balkans and the EU countries, which continued their steady increase in agricultural productivity. Unfavorable tendencies in agricultural productivity adversely affected its competitiveness, and, consequently, the competitiveness of the rural economy as a whole. The effect of the low agricultural competitiveness on the competitiveness of the rural economy is determined by the importance of agriculture in the rural economy, which is substantial in the West Balkan countries.

NORTH AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL MARKET INTEGRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FOOD AND FIBER SYSTEM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vollrath,   Thomas L.
Economic change and market dynamics have fundamentally altered the structure and performance of agricultural markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico within the last 25 years. Many factors have helped shape the current North American food and fiber system, including technological change, domestic farm policies, international trade agreements, and the economic forces of supply and demand. Ratification of NAFTA, for example, helped integrate the North American market, sparking a surge in trade and investment among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In recent years, efforts to further integrate the continental market seem to have slowed. Broadening the scope of NAFTA to include institutional reforms that lead to a more unified system of commercial...

INVESTIGATING THE "COMPLEMENTARITY HYPOTHESIS" IN GREEK AGRICULTURE: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Katrakilidis,   Constantinos P.; Tabakis,   Nikolaos M.
This study investigates determinants of private capital formation in Greek agriculture and tests the "complementarity" against the "crowding out" hypothesis using multivariate cointegration techniques and ECVAR modeling in conjunction with variance decomposition and impulse response analysis.  The results provide evidence of a significant positive causal effect of government spending on private capital formation, thus supporting the "complementarity" hypothesis for Greek agriculture.

Dynamics of Phosphorus Fertilization and Liming Under Land Tenure Insecurity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Myyra,   Sami; Pietola,   Kyosti.
This article solves and characterizes optimal decision rules to invest in irreversible land improvements conditional on land tenure insecurity.  Economic model is a normative dynamic programming model with known parameter for the one period returns and transition equations.  The decision rules are solved numerically conditional on alternative scenarios on the likelihood that the lease contract and, thus, farmer access to land is either renewed or expires.  The model parameters represent Finnish soil quality and production conditions.  The results suggest that irreversible land improvements decrease quickly and the yields decline gradually when the farmer is confronted with land tenure insecurity caused by uncertain renewal of the lease contract.

Autores: Hu,   Ruifa; Liang,   Qin; Pray,   Carl E.; Huang,   Jikun; Jin,   Yanhong H.
Private R&amp;D is a major source of innovation and productivity growth in agriculture worldwide. This paper examines trends and determinants of agricultural R&amp;D in China. Results show that while the public sector monopolized agricultural research until recently, private agricultural R&amp;D has grown rapidly since 2000, driven largely by agribusiness privatization. Public-sector R&amp;D investments in basic research also encouraged private R&amp;D research, but public investments in technology development crowded out private R&amp;D investment. China’s private R&amp;D investment would grow more rapidly if the government shifted public resources from technology development to basic research.

Intrafirm Effects on Water Conservation in Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moreno,   Georgina.
Conservation technology adoption behavior is frequently analyzed at the smallest unit of production to capture important heterogeneity among adopters. Conclusions about firm-level decisions are drawn from these microunit outcomes.  However, there may be significant intrafirm interactions that create a dependence among the microunits.  This paper tests and quantifies these effects. Using a unique dataset of agricultural water use in California, this paper finds significant differences in water price elasticities of conservation technology adoption between the standard model and models that accounts for the intrafirm interactions.

Land Preservation in British Columbia: An Empirical Analysis of the Factors Underlying Public Support and Willingness to Pay
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Androkovich,   Robert A.; Desjardins,   Ivan; Tarzwell,   Gordon; Tsogaris,   Peter.
This study extends previous empirical research on land preservation by considering an actual land preservation scheme, the agricultural land reserve in British Columbia, Canada. The reserve was established in 1973 to ensure that development did not occur on the province’s most productive agricultural land. ‘To ensure that local food production is maintained,’ ‘the economic importance of British Columbia’s agricultural sector,’ and ‘to protect the environment’ are the most important factors that underlie support for the reserve. Aggregate, provincewide willingness to pay to maintain the land reserve is substantial, with our most conservative estimate being Can$91.18 million per year.

Welfare economics of conventional vs. alternative agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schamel,   Guenter.
We develop a agricultural model assuming that conventional production is causing environmental externalities while more benign alternative production methods generate non-market amenity benefits and obtain a price premium in the marketplace. We analyze policies targeting external benefits and costs to capture interaction effects: polluting input taxes reduce the returns and subsidies needed to induce more benign production. Thus, it is only optimal to subsidize if the additional marginal amenity benefit exceeds the marginal external cost reductions due to the input tax. Terms of trade effects imply that large (land abundant) exporters have strategic incentives to overvalue external costs while large (land scarce) importers have strategic incentives to...

Is Agricultural Production Spillover the Rationale Behind NEPAD CAADP Framework? Spatial Econometric Approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ulimwengu,   John M.; Sanyal,   Prabuddha.
Since 2003, the NEPAD Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) has been endorsed by African Heads of State and Governments as a vision for the restoration of agricultural growth, food security, and rural development in Africa. The program aims at stimulating agriculture-led development that eliminates hunger and reduces poverty and food insecurity. As pointed out by Etro (2001), the creation of a union or adoption of a common agenda should move the equilibrium toward the first best solution whenever policies generate spillovers. This arises because the ability of a common agenda to reduce the scope of free-riding behavior among member countries. In addition, increasing world market integration leads to more externalities which call...

The Situation of Hungarian Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Burger,   Anna.
Hungarian agriculture has gone thru a long and difficult development since the First World War. The semi-feudal agriculture of the Horthy era between the two World Wars was followed by a land distribution after the Second World War, which created an agricultural system dominated by smallholders. However, the small farms were soon collectivized. Despite the forced collectivization, the large farms developed well and the living standard of the peasantry grew significantly. After the collapse of socialism in Hungary in 1990, political parties decided again to restructure agriculture. A new land distribution was carried out which created an agricultural system based on smallholdings. On the mostly too small, scattered holdings, the technical and technological...

Entre os anos 2001/2007, a agricultura nacional cresceu a taxas extraordinárias, superiores às dos outros setores da economia. Este excelente desempenho da agricultura nacional ocorreu sem que existisse um aparato de políticas públicas para fomentá-lo. Desta forma, o desempenho da agricultura favoreceu a atuação de grupos de pressão sobre o marco regulatório dos agrotóxicos, no qual segmentos do setor agrícola e entidades representativas de empresas produtoras de agrotóxicos têm procurado reduzir as exigências para o registro de novos produtos, sob a alegação de que isto reduziria os preços dos agrotóxicos ao produtor rural, melhorando a competitividade da agricultura nacional, e ainda promoveria a redução do grau de concentração do mercado brasileiro de...

This study develops a simple methodology of the analysis of the effectiveness of economic performance of food manufacturing industries and applies this methodology to analyze the effectiveness of economic performance of food manufacturing industries in the U.S. Pacific Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington). The methodology is based on five ratios constructed using U.S. Economic Census data on value added, value of shipments, number of production workers, cost of materials, and capital expenditures. A regression model is estimated to test whether the overall effectiveness of economic performance measured as the share of value added in value of shipments is a function of the effectiveness of the use of individual groups of resources (i.e....

Changes in the Hungarian dairy industry after EU accession
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Konig,   Gabor; Major,   Anita.
Since EU accession the Hungarian dairy industry’s domestic market has generally expanded as turnover and consumption have both grown, but this has been increasingly due to cheap imports, while the purchase and sale of domestic products has been decreasing or stagnating (both in the domestic and foreign markets). The growth in imports has cut Hungarian corporations domestic market share to 80%. In Hungary corporate concentration has become even more pronounced with large corporations further strengthening their position and smaller ones further shrinking. Moreover, foreign ownership prevails and has the primary aim of meeting domestic demand. Changes in ownership contribute to the strengthening of vertical integration. Still, in the EU corporate...

Too Connected to Fail: The Effect of Alliance Network Structure on Farm Survival
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kirwan,   Barrett E.; Martens,   Andrea.
Exogenous, unobserved factors often confound the effects of alliance networks.  More capable farmers might be less likely to exit and more likely to have a large number of alliances.  In this case the negative correlation between alliance network size and exit likelihood is due to the unobserved confounder--farmer ability--not the effect of network size on exit likelihood. Recognizing the endogeneity of alliance network size when determining a farm’s survival likelihood, we employ an empirical model that accounts for the bias caused by unobserved effects. We account for time-invariant unobserved effects with individual fixed effects.  We control for county-level confounding factors with a time-varying county effect. Finally, we address unobserved,...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Molua,   Ernest L.
This paper examines the effect of changes in climatic averages on agricultural production at the national level in Cameroon. The empirical results reveal that Cameroon’s agriculture is influenced by climate variables. The economic value of the projected output in 2050 ranges from USD3.5 billion (41% less than the 1961–2001 mean value at 2.5oC increase in temperature and 8.5% increase in precipitation) to US$ 7.1 billion (18.5% greater than the 1961–2001 mean, for a 1.5°C increase in temperature and a 15% increase in precipitation). A 3.5% increase in temperature associated with a 4.5% increase in precipitation in the absence of irrigation facilities would be detrimental to Cameroon’s agriculture, leading to a loss of almost 46.7% in output value.

DO MACROECONOMIC SHOCKS IMPACT THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF SMALL FARMERS? THE CASE OF WETLAND RICE FARMERS IN INDONESIA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Jensen,   Helen H.; Yan,   Dong.
This study examines the impact of macroeconomic shocks on the efficiency of small farmers. We estimate single- and multiple-factor efficiency measures for Indonesian rice farmers in years before, during, and after the country's macroeconomic crisis. We find that productive efficiency declined by 7 to 22 percent during the crisis, largely because of a decline in technical efficiency and a relatively large volatility in efficiency (the coefficient of variation was larger by a factor of 1.87). Allocative efficiency, on the other hand, increased slightly and offset part of the decrease in technical efficiency. The magnitude of the impact on efficiency depended on farmers' input adjustments. Factors associated with higher levels of technical and allocative...

The Doha round of WTO negotiations has been ongoing since 2001. In the summer of 2008 the negotiations on the modalities for a new WTO agriculture agreement collapsed when seemingly on the verge of a successful conclusion. In this paper we present quantitative analysis of the impact of a new WTO agreement undertaken using a partial equilibrium model of Irish and EU agriculture. Results are presented on the agreement’s impact on Irish and EU-27 agriculture markets and on Irish agricultural sector incomes. Our analysis highlights the importance of the Baseline counter-factual, and will illustrate that protection afforded by the conferral of sensitive product status differs from commodity to commodity. The paper will draw conclusions concerning the economic...

Autores: Morgan,   Cynthia L.; Coggins,   Jay S.; Eidman,   Vernon R.
Nitrate contamination of municipal and domestic well water supplies is becoming an increasing problem in many rural and urban areas, raising the cost of providing safe drinking water. The objective of this paper is to describe a marketable permit scheme that can effectively manage nitrate pollution of groundwater supplies for communities in rural areas without hindering agricultural production in watersheds. They key to implementing this scheme is being able to link nitrate leaching from nitrogen fertilizer applied to crops at a farm to nitrate levels measured at a drinking water well.

Obstacles to a Doubly Green Revolution
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Blackman,   Allen.
Increasingly, conventional wisdom dictates that agrarian policy in developing countries should foster a "doubly green revolution" that both protects the environment and boosts output. Like the first green revolution, such a transformation will entail convincing millions of farmers to adopt new practices and, as a result, will confront well-documented barriers to technological change in developing-country agriculture. It will also face a number of new obstacles, including a divergence between the interests of policymakers and farmers, a policy environment biased in favor of input-intensive agriculture, and the fact that many environmentally friendly technologies entail relatively high set-up costs. At least in the short run, institutional constraints will...

Effects of Agricultural Commercialization on Land Tenure, Household Resource Allocation, and Nutrition in the Philippines
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bouis,   Howarth E.; Haddad,   Lawrence James.
Over the past several years IFPRI has undertaken research on the production, consumption, and nutrition effects of agricultural commercialization in The Gambia, Guatemala, Kenya, the Philippines, and Rwanda. While it is widely recognized that the commercialization of agriculture is essential to overall economic development, various rural population groups adapt differently to the process of commercialization, depending on the resources available to them, economic and social conditions, and government policies. Many households benefit in the form of higher incomes; others may suffer a decline in income. A particular concern of policymakers has been the effect of commercialization on nutrition. The purpose of these studies has been to analyze the process of...

ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC ACCOUNTING FOR THE GERMAN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schmidt,   Thomas G.; Osterburg,   Bernhard.
How can we estimate the negative externalities of agriculture at the national level, and attribute these to specific production activities and outputs? The paper presents a method that calculates the mass flow in the whole agricultural sector including inputs from other sectors, and that allows to analyse resource use and emissions, e.g. of greenhouse gases. Data inputs are the German economic accounts for agriculture, farm structural survey and market statistics, as well as environmental statistics. In the framework of the German agricultural sector model RAUMIS, material flows within the agricultural sector are described, as well as inputs from other German sectors and imports. Through a processanalytical approach, all information is integrated and...

Medição do Impacto dos Bens Públicos e Privados sobre os Rendimentos Familiares Provenientes de Culturas em Moçambique Rural, 2002-2005
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mather,   David; Donovan,   Cynthia; Boughton,   Duncan.
This brief summarizes detailed analysis of the determinants of household crop income in rural Mozambique from 2002 to 2005. Increased crop income is associated with increases in household land area, use of animal traction, crop diversification into tobacco or cotton, access to market price information, and access to extension agents (for tobacco/cotton growers). Decreases in crop income are associated with drought. Results demonstrate that there are both public and private investments that can enhance farmers’ ability to increase crop income and avoid losses. Priority investments include: development and dissemination of drought-resistant varieties for maize and cassava, conservation farming, animal traction, market information, access to high-value crops...

The Agricultural and the External (Net Barter) Terms of Trade in Bangladesh: Trends, Movements and Relationships, 1952-2006

Autores: Hossain,   Akhand Akhtar.
This paper analyses the trends and movements of, and the relationship between, the agricultural and the external (net barter) terms of trade in Bangladesh for the period 1952-2006.  The Pesaran bounds testing results suggest the presence of a cointegral relationship between the agricultural and the external terms of trade in Bangladesh.  The forecasting ability of the error-correction model of the agricultural terms of trade is highly, satisfactory, irrespective of whether the level or the percentage change in the agricultural terms of trade is being forecasted.  The overall results suggest that the agricultural terms of trade in Bangladesh is determined endogenously and does not seem to have been deployed by policy makers to ‘squeeze agriculture’ within...

Stochastic Utility-Efficient Programming of Organic Dairy Farms
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Flaten,   Ola; Lien,   Gudbrand D.
Opportunities to make sequential decisions and adjust activities as a season progresses and more information becomes available characterize the farm management process.  In this paper, we present a discrete stochastic two-stage utility efficient programming model of organic dairy farms, which includes risk aversion in the decision maker's objective function as well as both embedded risk (stochastic programming with resource) and non-embedded risk (stochastic programming without recourse).  Historical farm accountancy data and subjective judgments were combined to assess the nature of the uncertainty that affects the possible consequences of the decisions.  The programming model was used within a stochastic dominance framework to examine optimal strategies...

Food Security Analysis and Policies for Transition Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wehrheim,   Peter; Wiesmann,   Doris M.
This article explores the characteristics of food security in the context of economies in transition. These special characteristics derive from the “legacies” of socialist systems, both economy-wide ones and others specific to the agriculture and the food sector. Food insecurity in transition countries is considered predominantly “transitory”, while social safety nets dating back to the socialist years provide some cushion. Market failures and other institutional constraints are prevalent, inhibiting the process towards improvement of the food security situation. Conflict takes a heavy toll in terms of hunger and malnutrition in economies in transition and macro level factors are at work to determine food security outcomes. At the same time, socialist...

Foreign Development Assistance to Agriculture and Food Security in Africa in the last Decade: Lessons for Tomorrow
Provedor de dados: 31

There are well-founded fears that it is unrealistic to expect Africa to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG1) to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and to halve the proportion of people who suffer hunger by 2015.  Recent efforts of African governments to meet the MDG1 have resulted in a number of initiatives including the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) framework that calls for 6% agricultural growth rates, the Maputo Declaration calling for 10% of total public spending to be on agriculture, and the 2006 Abuja Declaration calling for an increase in fertilizer use from 8 – 50 kg/ha by 2015.  CAADP estimates that an average investment of US$18 billion/year will be required to trigger sufficient agricultural...

Autores: Magen,   Benjamin B.; Donovan,   Cynthia; Kelly,   Valerie A.
This working paper synthesizes the theoretical and empirical literature on the use of cash transfers in response to food crisis situations, with particular attention to their use in situations that are exacerbated by volatile, often inflationary, commodity prices. The paper is designed for policymakers who are wondering if cash transfers might be an appropriate instrument in the context of 2008’s unstable commodity prices for both food and energy, but are unfamiliar with the literature and discussions surrounding the cash vs. food debate. After defining some key terms and presenting a brief review of the theory behind cash transfer use, the paper synthesizes evidence from studies that have evaluated past cash transfer programs. While the focus is on...

SOCIETAL PERCEPTIONS OF AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wachenheim,   Cheryl J.; Rathge,   Richard W.
Tension between farm operators and their surrounding neighbors within rural communities continues to escalate as residents become increasingly removed from production agriculture.  An expanding gap exists between public perceptions of the effects of the structure and production  practices of modern agriculture, and reality.  Combined with a shrinking farm population and support base, misperceptions may have important consequences for farm legislation and regulations.  Obtaining knowledge about how the public views agriculture is a necessary step in correcting misperceptions and may help the industry and policy makers understand  the beliefs and values of the populace.  Collecting information about perceptions of agriculture among residents of the North...

Em 2004, o Acre possuía um Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) igual a R$ 3.241.847.000,00, com PIB per capita igual a R$ 5.143,00. Segundo dados do IBGE, os valores adicionados ao PIB na agropecuária, na indústria e no serviço, foram respectivamente de R$ 179.312.000,00; R$ 853.043.000,00 e R$ 1.999.670.000,00. Nesse contexto, torna-se relevante saber como as atividades econômicas impactam sobre a formação do PIB per capita nos municípios acreanos. Diante disso, a análise do impacto causado pela presença de unidades empresariais, pela pecuária e pela produção agrícola sobre o PIB per capita dos municípios possibilita uma visão da própria economia do estado.

An Introduction to Nutrition-Agriculture Linkages
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chung,   Kimberly.
Agricultural development is now expected to proceed in a way that maximizes opportunities to improve health and nutrition. Accordingly, the term “nutrition-agriculture linkages” describes the set of relationships that shows the mutual  dependence of nutrition, health and agriculture. Changes in nutrition or health status are expected to affect agricultural production; conversely changes in the agricultural sector can have significant effects on individual health and nutritional status. Most development professionals, however, are sectoral specialists. Some are trained in nutrition or agriculture, but very few will be trained in both. It is therefore difficult to begin discussions on nutrition-focused agricultural programs and policies. How do we begin to...

Computer and Internet Use by Great Plains Farmers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Smith,   Aaron D.; Goe,   W. Richard; Kemey,   Martin; Morrison Paul,   Catherine J.
This study uses data from a 2001 survey of Great Plains farmers to explore the adoption, usage patterns, and perceived benefits of computers and the Internet. Adoption results suggest that exposure to the technology through college, outside employment, friends, and family is ultimately more influential than farmer age and farm size. Notably, about half of those who use the Internet for farm-related business report zero economic benefits from it. Whether a farmer perceives that the Internet generates economic benefits depends primarily on how long the farmer has used the Internet for farm business and for what purposes.

Structural Change in Transition: A Role for Organizational Legitimacy? Evidence from Czech Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Curtiss,   Jarmila; Brümmer,   Bernhard; Medonos,   Tomas; Weaver,   Robert D.
Market liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe was targeted at establishing incentives that would improve economic performance. While substantial reorganization of enterprises is observed, firms can also be observed which devote resources towards establishing organizational legitimacy. Motivations for such behavior are considered and empirical evidence of its relationship with technical efficiency using a distance function approach is analyzed for the case of Czech agriculture. Contrary to the expectation that such behavior would be inefficient, we find that firms reap private economic gains from legitimacy efforts through improved access to agricultural land, investment subsidies and firm internal social capital. However, its effect on technical...

Can Small Farmers Survive, Prosper, or be the Key Channel to Cut Mass Poverty?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lipton,   Michael.
The paper reviews the role of small farms in development and poverty reduction in countries (or regions within a country) with persistent mass poverty. It discusses the arguments supporting the importance of agricultural development for poverty and argues that initial success in reduction of mass poverty requires prior agricultural developments. It explores in particular the role of smallscale farming and policy requirements to ensure the competitive advantage of small farms.

Tradable Substitution Rights: Simulation of the Cost-Efficiency of a Nitrogen Reduction in the Pig Finishing Sector
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Carlier,   Peter Jan; Lauwers,   Ludwig H.; Mathijs,   Erik.
To comply with the European Nitrate Directive, the Flemish manure policy has been elaborated mainly on the base of command and control measures (maximum fertilisation limits etc.). In literature, however, tradable permits are described as a cost efficient and effective instrument. Applied to nutrient emission they might offer an alternative for the current, expensive manure policy. In this publication both policy instruments are compared by means of simulation models. Based on accountacy data from 190 pig finishing farms, it is shown that tradable rights may result in cost savings of over 88%, compared to the most cost efficient command and control model. This result indicates that tradable permits at least need to be considered as a plausible policy...

Mathematical programming models suit policy makers' needs for assessing impacts of new policies and modellers' needs for new parameters, constraints and activities to represent the phenomenon under study. The AROPAj model aims at taking into account any geographical extension of the European Union as well as the continuously changing Common Agricultural Policy. As well as the European policies will include more and more environmental problems, AROPAj will be more and more designed toward environmental assessments. Two improvement axes are set up. Biophysical models are used to refine the design of farming systems represented in the economic model and to estimate nitrogen pollutant emissions. Down-scaling methods are coupled with the regional farm group...

The 2008/09 Food Price and Food Security Situation in Eastern and Southern Africa: Implications for Immediate and Longer Run Responses.

Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Chapoto,   Antony; Minde,   Isaac J.; Donovan,   Cynthia.
The dramatic rise in world food prices since 2007 has commanded the world’s attention. However, in recent months, world food prices have fallen almost as rapidly as they had risen in late 2007 and early 2008, yet as is demonstrated in this report, domestic food price levels in many eastern and southern African markets are not closely tracking world prices. Fertilizer prices remain at unprecedentedly high levels and may have a critical influence on future food production levels in the region. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need for information about how the current food situation is unfolding in the region, the immediate policy response options, and the longer-term challenges and opportunities. This study has three objectives: 1) to examine the...

This study examines risk coping strategies of Turkmen farmers based on a survey of 1100 respondents carried out in 2002 in all five provinces. We propose a new composite index of vulnerability, which includes human capital indicators and geographic location. The analysis relies on a single independent variable, which nevertheless incorporates the effect of criteria interactions. Using survey data, we analyze income smoothing as a mechanisms of risk management across vulnerability groups. Consistently with theoretical expectations, the most vulnerable households seem prefer a smaller, but...

Constraining U.S. and EU Domestic Support in Agriculture: The October 2005 WTO Proposals
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brink,   Lars.
In October 2005 the USA, EU, and G-20 submitted proposals on domestic support in the WTO agriculture negotiations. We consider the de minimis rules and allowances, project future (2014) distorting support for the USA and the EU-15, calculate the constraints resulting from projected values of production combined with the U.S., EU and G-20 proposals, and compare their effectiveness in constraining components of distorting support and future applied support. The de minimis rules make a significant difference for future allowed support. Under the U.S. proposal the Overall commitment constrains neither the USA nor the EU. Under the EU and especially the G-20 proposals the Overall commitment constrains distorting support to be less than the sum of the cap on...

The challenges of finding efficient policy measures to reduce Australia’s agricultural Greenhouse gas emissions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: King,   Helen.
A comprehensive emissions trading scheme (ETS) is Australia’s principal climate change policy instrument.  There are undoubtedly benefits of full ETS coverage. However, if emissions that cannot be affordably, reasonably and accurately measured are included, these must be balanced against potential costs.    This report explores why agriculture is different from other sectors. Agriculture’s diffuse and diverse emissions are inherently difficult to measure. They also fluctuate in response to environmental factors such as climate and biophysical characteristics. It is problematic to include the agriculture sector in the ETS, at reasonable cost and with incentives for behaviour change at the emission source. This is because of the climate and biophysical...

Stabilization of Upland Agriculture under El Nino-Induced Climatic Risk: Impact Assessment and Mitigation Measures in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irawan,   Bambang.
The El Nino events of 1982 and 1997 are the biggest ones in history. Both El Nino events resulted in decreased rainfall, particularly during the dry season of May-August. The 1997 El Nino caused a higher decrease in rainfall than the 1982 one. Consistently, in Java and Sulawesi the decrease in rainfall was higher compared to the national average in both 1997 and 1982. Since Java and South Sulawesi are major food producers (about 65 per cent of national food crop production), El Nino events could disturb national food security. In Kalimantan, the decrease in rainfall was relatively high during the 1997 El Nino, but quite low during 1982. On the contrary, Sumatera, Bali and Nusa Tenggara experienced a decrease in rainfall which was quite high in 1982 but...

Agriculture, Environmental Services and Agro-Tourism in the Dominican Republic
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Catalino,   Alejandro Herrera; Lizardo,   Magdalena.
This paper analyzes the links between agriculture and tourism. A contingent valuation study assesses tourist's willingness to pay (WTP) for agro-tourism and agriculture's positive environmental services and related positive externalities. The paper analyzes factors influencing tourist preferences in the Dominican Republic (DR) -- tourist income, the local tourist destination, sex, and nationality stand out among these factors. Estimates are given for different WTP scenarios according to farming systems. The study argues that a well developed agro-tourism industry would result in a market mechanism generating additional income of US $251 to US $364 million annually. Agro-tourist activities would have the added benefit of promoting sustainable agricultural...

The paper presents an application of the new version of the 'Decision Support for Irrigated agriculture' DSIrr designed to integrate water and agricultural policy analysis and to support participatory decision process. The tool is a scenario manager for bio-economic farm models considering climatic, agronomic, hydraulic, socio-economic and environmental aspects. The paper offers some insight on the decomposition approach adopted to integrate economic analysis at different scales by illustrating a case study conducted in Italy to support an ex ante evaluation of a water management system reorganisation. Reduce water consumption is a strategic objective which pricing policy cannot address given technical constraints. The replacement of the existing...

Autores: Fabiosa,   Jacinto F.; Beghin,   John C.; de Cara,   Stephane; Fang,   Cheng; Isik,   Murat; Matthey,   Holger.
Using a partial equilibrium model of world agriculture, we investigate the multilateral removal of all border taxes and farm programs and their distortion of world agricultural markets.  These distortions have significant terms-of-trade effects.  World trade is also significantly impacted by both types of distortions.  Trade expansion is substantial for most commodities, especially dairy, meats, and vegetable oils.  Net agricultural and food exporters (Brazil, Australia, and Argentina) emerge with expanded exports; whereas net importing countries with limited distortions before liberalization are penalized by higher world markets prices and reduced imports.  The US gains significant export shares in livestock products and imports more dairy products....

SETTING EFFICIENT INCENTIVES FOR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH: LESSONS FOR PRINCIPAL-AGENT THEORY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.; Just,   Richard E.
This paper presents a conceptual analysis of important  issues in management of agricultural research drawing on principal-agent theory and derives implications for funding and management of agricultural research.  Building on well known attributes of research, whereby research results are risky, outputs are uncertain and sometimes unanticipated, more than one approach has validity for a given topic, we consider how incentives should be structured to elicit optimal research effort and directions, whether research directions should be set at a centralized or decentralized level, and the optimal duplication of effort.  The results suggest that (i) the current trend toward replacement of formula funding by competitive grants allocation may be ill conceived,...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Laurent,   Catherine E.; Labarthe,   Pierre; Berriet-Solliec,   Marielle; Trouve,   Aurelie; Kirsch,   Marc.
Various theoretical models of public policy analysis are used to treat situations of decision-making in which public deciders have to take into account the multifunctionality of agriculture. For some, science-society relations are not really problematical. Others acknowledge the current attempts of these policy-makers to find adequate scientific knowledge, and the difficulties they encounter. These difficulties stem partly from the very content of knowledge produced by research. Could other modes of production be more efficient? The status of the knowledge produced by these approaches is a subject of debate. Bridging the divide between science and policy more effectively is not only a question of knowledge brokerage. Accessibility and reliability of the...

Pharmaceutical and Industrial Traits in Genetically Modified Crops: Co-existence with Conventional Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moschini,   GianCarlo.
This paper discusses the implications of using genetically modified crops to biomanufacture pharmaceuticals and industrial compounds from the perspective of their co-existence with conventional agriculture. Such plant-made pharmaceuticals and plant-made industrial products rely on exciting scientific and technological breakthroughs and promise new opportunities for the agricultural sector, but they also entail novel risks. The management of the externalities and of the possible unintended economic effects that arise in this context is critical and poses difficult questions for regulators.

Agricultural Trade Liberalisation and Economic Growth in Developing Countries: Analysis of Distributional Consequences
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ali,   Ershad; Talukder,   Dayal.
The article analyses the impact of agricultural trade liberalisation on economic growth as well as on the welfare of rural livelihoods in developing countries through technological transformation in the agricultural sector. The article, based on existing literature, considers the background and reasons for the policy shift in developing economies away from agricultural protection and toward trade liberalisation. It attempts to shed light on the debate over the distributional consequences resulting from trade liberalisation. It also analyses how agricultural trade policy reforms affect poverty and inequality, since the majority of the population of developing countries is involved with agriculture, and these households are predominantly rural poor and...

Investing In African Agriculture to Halve Poverty By 2015
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fan,   Shenggen; Johnson,   Michael; Saurkar,   Anuja; Makombe,   Tsitsi.
This paper proposes a simple methodology to estimate the agricultural spending that will be required to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by 2015 (MDG1) in 30 sub-Saharan African countries. This method uses growth-poverty and growth-expenditure elasticities to estimate the financial resources required to meet the MDG1, considering both the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural spending on poverty reduction. The paper attempts to address a key knowledge gap by improving estimation of MDG costs at both the regional and country levels.

Climate Change is expected to improve crop production conditions significantly in northern Europe. In some studies a significant increase in agricultural production is expected in northern Europe while drought is becoming gradually more severe in Southern Europe and France due to climate change. Our analysis provides one of the first steps in evaluating the possible scale of changes in agricultural production and use of farm land in Finland, so far one of the least favoured agricultural areas in Europe.   Drought in early summer and low temperature sum during growing period are currently the main growth limiting factors in Finland. Even though the early part of the growing period is likely to be dry also in the future, both mean and variance of crop yields...

WHAT DOES A DRY SEASON MEAN TO THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ECONOMY? A CGE INVESTIGATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Islam,   Nazrul.
In this paper, by applying a Computable General Equilibrium model for Western Australia (called WAG), the impact of the 2002 dry season on the State’s wider economy is quantitatively analysed. An estimate of 40 percent loss in the production of five major groups of agricultural commodities is simulated into the model. The model results show that the State’s economy-wide total production declines by 2.3 percent. In 2001-02 dollar terms this production decline is worth more than $2.5 billion. The gross state product (GSP) for WA declines by more than one percent. The total value of the State’s exports and employment decline by 5.2 and 1.7 percent respectively.

The impact of the stimulus package on the agricultural sector in Vietnam
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Trang,   Truong Thi Thu; Vanzetti,   David.
The global financial crisis in 2008-2009 has affected almost all countries. Vietnam was hit by a large fall in export demand and foreign direct investment. Many governments quickly prescribed stimulus packages and Vietnam was no exception. It reduced taxes and increased government spending, mainly by subsidizing loans to state-owned enterprises. The question is what the stimulated impact is, if any, and whether a better outcome could have been achieved by a different mix of policies. In this paper, we use a simple general equilibrium model to quantify the impact of the various components of the stimulus package on the whole economy as well as agricultural sector. The results suggest that, in the short run at least, the stimulus package marginally...

A Typology for Vulnerability and Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Zhang,   Xiaobo; Rockmore,   Marc; Chamberlin,   Jordan.
This paper considers vulnerability reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from a more aggregated macro viewpoint. We focus on risk related to agriculture, since vulnerability and agriculture are intimately linked in SSA due to the location of the poor, their dependence on agriculture and the inherent risks of an agricultural livelihood. We argue that agricultural growth is one of the most effective means for improving permanent incomes and reducing vulnerability. However, agriculture is not homogeneous, and the inherent risks vary across countries and regions. Therefore, we also discuss appropriate investment strategies and policy instruments for different sets of risks.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the economic policies on the Argentinean Agricultural sector for the period 1980-2007. By evaluating the changes that have been taken place in the production styles and the role played by the rise in profitability of cereals, oleaginous crops and beef cattle, we seek to identify the main elements that will allow us to understand the general path that the sector has taken for the period under analysis. After explaining the general evolution of the sector, we end up our analysis identifying the future challenges that the country will face regarding food security, health regulations and environmental problems.

WTO Constraints on U.S. and EU Domestic Support in Agriculture: The October 2005 Proposals
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brink,   Lars.
The USA, the EU and the G-20 submitted proposals on domestic support in the WTO agriculture negotiations in October 2005. This research projects future support, allowances and constraints for the USA and the EU under these proposals. Accounting properly for the de minimis rules generates a "maximum usable components" constraint, which, even when added to the cap on blue, can be more constraining than the new overall commitment. The overall commitment under the U.S. proposal constrains neither the USA nor the EU in the future. However, the overall commitment under the EU and G 20 proposals constrains both the USA and the EU to provide less future overall support than the sum of the cap on blue and maximum usable components. In general the three proposals...

All this makes it necessary to turn data into valuable information, to improve accountability within the company, to make costs more transparent, and to better support plans and decisions about the future of the company. Consistent use of management accounting can help entrepreneurs reach these goals, and is especially valuable to agricultural businesses due to the special characteristics of the sector. The study looks at the methods,...

Characteristics and Production Costs of U.S. Hog Farms, 2004
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McBride,   William D.; Key,   Nigel D.
Hog production in 2004 was characterized by wide variation in the types, sizes, and economic performance of operations. Operations specializing in a single production phase generated more than three times the product value, on average, of those using the traditional farrow-to-finish approach. Low-cost operations tended to be larger, located in the Heartland, and operated by farmers whose primary occupation was farming. Small and medium operations far outnumbered large and very large operations, but large and very large operations accounted for most of the production. Average production costs declined as the size of the hog operation increased, a result of reduced capital costs and more efficient input use. Hog production was highly concentrated in the...

Environmental protection of agriculture -clash of policies?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Helin,   Janne.
Agricultural primary production is extensively influenced by policies and regulation. On the level of European Union the common agricultural policy (CAP), frames the production environment. This study analyses the conflict of environmental and income policies in the context of CAP reform, eutrophication, the Water Framework Directive and Finnish policies. As targets of the policies do not coincide and often conflict, the environmental problems of farming have not been solved in the past decades. The comparative analysis is conducted quantitatively under static non-linear optimisation framework of representative farms of cereal and milk production regions of Finland. The results indicate that the decoupling of subsidies from production has enabled more...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUNGARIAN AGRICULTURAL TRADE AFTER THE EU ACCESSION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Konig,   Gabor.
The paper discusses the changes of the Hungarian agricultural trade, and shows how different factors (both internal and external) determine the flow of agricultural trade. The analyses show that although the EU plays a role more and more important in the Hungarian trade, the balance became worse, partly because of the increase of import from Germany and from Poland. The worsening trend of the trade after the accession shows that although the competitiveness is increasing it is still behind the improvement of competitiveness of the members of the EU-15 and 10 (partly because of the change of trade agreements, of subsidies and tariffs). In advantageous years (for cereals) the trends of trade with Romania and Bulgaria may have a positive effect on the flow of...

Science in Sanitary and Phytosanitary Dispute Resolution
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Powell,   Mark R.
The World Trade Organization Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS Agreement) relies heavily on science and expert organizations to avoid and resolve trade disputes over measures enacted under the rationale of food safety or plant and animal health protection. However, the state of science for sanitary and phytosanitary risk analysis is highly uncertain, and the SPS Agreement leaves many science policy issues unsettled. The international agencies charged under the SPS Agreement with harmonizing standards and forging international scientific consensus face a daunting and politically-charged task. Two case studies are briefly developed. In the first case, the international scientific consensus strongly supports the U.S. challenge of the European Union's...

CREDITS FOR SERBIAN AGRICULTURE IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Božić,   Dragica; Muncan,   Petar; Bogdanov,   Natalija.
The possibility for self-financing in agriculture is very small, primarily due to lower labour productivity leading to lower rate of surplus value. Therefore, in the development of Serbian agriculture, special importance is attached to other sources of financing such as: the Agrarian budget, i.e. credits of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management; credits of business banks; development funds; leasing companies. With the reconstruction of the Serbian banking system in 1994, the primary issue, as an important source for financing agriculture used primarily for current reproduction, was abandoned. Due to transition to a market economy system and cancellation of financing from the primary issue, economic entities in agriculture have found...

Agricultural Risk Management in the European Union and in the USA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Szekely,   Csaba; Palinkas,   Peter.
Risk management has become increasingly important in virtually all aspects of the economy, including agriculture. Every country that considers agriculture a strategically important economic sector strives for effective risk management in agriculture. In our study American and European Union farmers’ risk management practices were, based on various surveys, compared. In terms of agricultural risk management, major differences between the USA and the EU were evident, and these derive from different farming cultures, differences in historical evolution, and economic philosophy. This study provides an overview regarding the important similarities and dissimilarities.

Oil and Agriculture in the Post-Separation Sudan
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Siddig,   Khalid H.A.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which was signed by the government of Sudan and the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) ended more than 20 years of civil war. According to the CPA, the Sudan’s government has 50% of the oil exploited from the wells existing in the south in addition to the oil produced from the northern wells. The latter represents about 30% of the total oil production in Sudan. In January 2011, the people in southern Sudan have voted for separation from the Sudan and in July 2011 the Republic of South Sudan was officially announced as Africa’s newest state.  Now the CPA period is over and the south possesses its entire production of oil, but need to use the export infrastructure that exists in the north to export it. For...

Farm Heterogeneity and Efficiency in Polish Agriculture: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hockmann,   Heinrich; Pieniadz,   Agata.
This paper deals with the estimation of a random coefficient model. The virtue of this approach is that it considers firm heterogeneity, which conventional SFA models do not. Applying the model to Polish farms, the results indicate that the conventional random and fixed effect models overestimate the inefficiency score. In addition, the reasons for inefficiency are analysed. It is shown that despite the fragmentation of Polish agriculture, there is no evidence for scale inefficiency. Moreover, inefficiency could partly be attributed to factors, which affect the management input and requirements on farms.

Serbia is mostly rural country, as three fourth of its territory make rural areas, while almost half population is living in rural areas. Serbian agriculture is the sector which is very important for the total economy of the country in respect of resources, participation in GDP, employment as well as importance for rural areas and population. This is the only sector in Serbian economy that shows positive foreign trade balance in the recent several years. There are potentials for development of agrarian entrepreneurship on one hand, but on the other, there are constraints in existence of great number of small family farms whereas the huge share could not have commercial profile and could not live only from agricultural activities.

Tunisian agriculture: Are small farms doomed to disappear?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jouili,   Mustapha.
In Tunisia, small and medium-sized family farms dominate agriculture. From the early 80s, with the introduction of the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), the conditions of production and reproduction of small farms have radically changed. In addition to the unfavorable trend of the prices, these farms are increasingly excluded from credit, land and support services. The ultimate consequence is a tendency in real incomes to decline, particularly sharp for small farms in the arid regions of the country. Faced with this degradation, small farms have developed mechanisms of adaptation or regulation allowing them to survive and, even in certain cases, to ensure more than a simple reproduction. But, it seems that the limits of these mechanisms of resistance...

Autores: McKee,   Gregory J.
The objective of this research is to assess the financial performance of North Dakota farm supply and grain handling cooperatives between 2002 and 2006. Audited financial statements from 120 cooperatives were used. Various financial variables are tested as determinants of profitability. Financial ratio analysis is used to observe trends in liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. Comparisons in ratio trends are made based on relative profitability. No statistical relationship is found between business size and profitability. The most profitable North Dakota agricultural input supply and grain marketing cooperatives were observed to have financial ratio values distinct from less profitable ones.

The objective of this paper is to determine how the firm's infrastructure, the financial characteristics of a company (net income, sales), and the organizational structure (number of acquisitions, age of establishment of the firm) affect R&amp;D investments in the agricultural sector. We use data for companies under the SIC codes for agricultural chemicals, and crop planning and protection. The results based on analysis of 69 observations of 12 firms revealed that firm's financial and organizational infrastructure does affect its R&amp;D expenditures. Older and larger firms tend to spend more on R&amp;D. During the last 17 years the R&amp;D expenditures with respect to the sales of the company have been reduced. Finally, contrary to the expectations,...

The impact of smallholder commercialisation of organic crops on food consumption patterns, dietary diversity and consumption elasticities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hendriks,   Sheryl L.; Msaki,   Mark M.
The impact of smallholder commercialisation on food consumption patterns in a rural community of South Africa was investigated. The dietary diversity, nutrient intakes and consumption patterns of certified, partially certified and non-members of an organic farmers’ organisation were compared. Engagement in certified commercial organic farming promoted comparatively greater dietary diversity and improved nutrient intakes. While smallholder agriculture commercialisation has the potential to improve food consumption patterns and food quality through increased income and labour opportunities, caution should be exercised before claiming that such commercialisation can alleviate food insecurity and solve hunger in rural South Africa.

Autores: Kandel,   William.
Hired farmworkers make up a third of the total agricultural labor force and are critical to U.S. agricultural production, particularly in labor-intensive sectors such as fruits and vegetables. The hired farmworker labor market is unique because it includes a large population of relatively disadvantaged and often unauthorized workers, a portion of whom migrate to, and within, the United States. Recent economic and demographic trends, such as changing agricultural production methods that permit year-round employment, expanding immigrant populations in nonmetropolitan counties, and growing concerns over U.S. immigration policies, have elicited increased interest in hired farmworkers. This 2008 profile serves as an update to the 2000 Economic Research Service...

In Korea, the portion of food industry has increased, while the portion of agriculture keeps decreasing. The alliance between agriculture and food industry results in the synergy between both industries as well as higher farmers' income. The goal of this study is to analyze the current status of the linkages between two food industries (fruit-juice industry and Korean-style meal franchise industry) and agriculture, and then to present the ways to strengthen the linkages. The discussion in this paper will be a policy baseline aiming for synergy between both industries, which is of a special concern to the next regime.

This paper analyse the patterns of productivity and economic growth in the Tunisian agriculture during the 1961–2000. Results indicated that agriculture output growth where high in both the 1961–1970 and the 1971–1980 periods but decreased during the 1991–2000 period. Average output growth exceeded 6% during the 1981–1990 period, the average output growth during 1991–2000 had fallen to 4%. Over the whole period, capital was the most important contributor to output growth and labour is considered as the least significant contributor to economic growth. Total factor productivity contribution to output growth decreased from 4.64% in 1961–1970 to 2.86% in 1971–1980. In contrast, this contribution increased in 1981-1990 to close the 4.38%.

A Survey of Findings on the Poverty Impacts of Agricultural Trade Liberalization
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hertel,   Thomas W.
The purpose of this survey is to review the available empirical evidence on the impacts of agricultural trade liberalization on poverty – considering both the impact of domestic and international liberalization. Since trade liberalization is generally an economywide phenomenon, with tariff cuts occurring across a wide range of commodities, we do not restrict ourselves to episodes where only agricultural trade was liberalized, although emphasis in this survey is given to agricultural trade policies. Furthermore, given the difficulty of isolating the effects of trade policies alone, we will also consider the impact of other types of external shocks which have the effect of changing the relative prices of tradeable and non-tradeable goods. By examining the...

World Fertilizer Model—The WorldNPK Model
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rosas,   Francisco.
We introduce a world fertilizers model that is capable of producing fertilizer demand projections by crop, by country, by macronutrients, and by year. For each crop, the most relevant countries in terms of production, consumption, or trade are explicitly modeled. The remaining countries are modeled, for each crop, within a regional aggregate. The nutrient coverage includes nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). In this report we present the data and procedures used to set up the model as well as the assumptions made. The fertilizer model interacts with the yield equations of the FAPRI-ISU model (Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at Iowa State University), and by means of a set of production elasticities, projects each nutrient’s...

The persistence of drought impacts across growing seasons: a dynamic stochastic analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Peck,   Dannele E.; Adams,   Richard M.
Agricultural producers throughout much of the United States experienced one of the most severe droughts in the last 100 years during the years 1999-2006.  The prolonged nature of this drought highlights a need to better understand the impacts and management of drought across growing seasons, rather than just within a growing season.  Producers express specific concern about the tendency of drought impacts to persist even after drought itself has subsided.  The persistence of drought impacts has received limited attention in the economics literature.  The objectives of this study are two-fold: 1) to determine whether inter-year dynamics, in the form of agronomic constraints and financial flows, can cause persistence of a drought's impact in years subsequent...

Success Factors of Digital Markets in the Agricultural and Food Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Clasen,   Michael.
In this paper hypotheses concerning the success of digital market places for agricultural inputs and products are tested. The hypotheses were derived from transaction cost considerations. Success of digital market places was measured in two ways: (i) the probability for a digital marketplace to survive the competition from conventional and other digital market places and (ii) various metrics of market activity such as the number of hits received, number of incoming links, and page views per visitor session. Data were obtained from a survey of 233 digital market places that had been installed to serve the agricultural and food industries.

Agricultural science and technology policy for growth and poverty reduction
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Omamo,   Steven Were; Naseem,   Anwar.
This paper argues that the largely unrealized potential of agricultural science and technology (S&amp;T) in promoting growth and poverty reduction in developing countries results from deeply rooted incompatibility among policy environments, institutional arrangements, and micro conditions and behavior in agricultural research and development (R&amp;D). Achieving growth and poverty reduction based on greater agricultural productivity therefore means achieving greater compatibility among these three dimensions of agricultural innovation systems. Research is sorely needed to build understanding of (1) the “big picture” influencing agricultural S&amp;T policy design and implementation in developing countries, (2) strategies for sustainable funding and delivery...

Incentives and Constraints in the Transformation of Punjab Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McGuirk,   Anya M.; Mundlak,   Yair.
The introduction of modern crops varieties in the mid-1960s caused a dramatic change, known as the “green revolution”, in agricultural production in Asia, as elsewhere. However, in spite of their yields, the process of adoption of these varieties has taken a long time, and even today traditional varieties are still widely grown. Various reasons, such as imperfect information, uncertainty, inadequate human capital, and institutional constraints, have been given for this slow diffusion. This research during 1960-79 emphasizes the role of economic incentives and resource availability in determining the pace of technology adoption.   Only three years after their introduction, the modern wheat varieties accounted for 70 percent of the wheat area in Punjab....

“Co-operative identity”: A theoretical concept for economic analysis of practical co-operation dynamics
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Szabo,   Gabor G.
Farmers’ problems and co-ordination of agricultural activities cannot be solved simply by EU and/or government support, or by private market co-ordination institutions. Emerging producer groups and co-operatives seem vital in achieving bargaining power. Theoretically, and according to Western European (Dutch, Danish etc.) and US practical experience, one of the major important private institutions that can strengthen producers and help co-ordinate (agricultural) chains is the co-operative entity. To fulfill the basic co-operative aims and to compete in a more market-oriented environment (e.g. more liberal agricultural policies, opening European and world market, etc.) they will initiate new marketing strategies. To implement such new marketing strategies,...

THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND AGRICULTURE – DIMENSIONS AND CORRELATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Matei,   Mirela; Stancu,   Adrian; Vukovic,   Predrag.
Global climate changes are taking place and its impacts on economy are already occurring in fields like tourism, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, insurance industry or capital market. Specialists draw attention that climate change has negative effects and positive effects. For example, in some parts of Europe, especially in north, the agricultural may benefit from temperature rise increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. The most important part of these changes is due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activity. Between greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the largest contributor with a weight around of 80% of total GHG emissions. The agriculture is the most affected sector by the climate change, but agricultural activities...

Does Agriculture Really Matter for Economic Growth in Developing Countries?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Awokuse,   Titus O.
In recent decades, the potential contribution of agriculture to economic growth has been a subject of much controversy among development economists. While some contend that agricultural development is a precondition to industrialization, others strongly disagree and argue for a different path. Taking advantage of recent developments in time series econometric methods, this paper re-examines the question of whether agriculture could serve as an engine of growth. Results from the empirical analysis provide strong evidence indicating that agriculture is an engine of economic growth. Furthermore, we find that trade openness has a positive effect on GDP growth.

MAKING SENSE OF AGRICULTURAL TRADE POLICY REFORM
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Vanzetti,   David; Peters,   Ralf.
Proposals for agricultural trade reform put forward by the main protagonists remain far apart, with little sign of convergence.  In an attempt to progress the negotiations towards a successful outcome, the chairman of the WTO Committee on Agriculture has proposed a compromise.  The alternative proposals by the United States, the European Union and the WTO are analysed with the Agricultural Trade Policy Simulation Model, a static, multi-commodity, multi-region, partial equilibrium trade model.  The estimated annual global welfare gains are $26 billion, $12 billion and $17 billion respectively.  Least developed countries, as a group, gain from the US proposal but are made worse off under the WTO and EU proposals.  Furthermore, in the best case many...

Impacts and adaptive capacity as drivers for prioritizing agricultural adaptation to climate change in Europe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schlickenrieder,   Jeremy; Quiroga,   Sonia; Diz,   Agustin; Iglesias,   Ana.
In the face of likely climate change impacts policy makers at different spatial scales need access to assessment tools that enable informed policy instruments to be designed. Recent scientific advances have facilitated the development of improved climate projections, but it remains to be seen whether these are translated into effective adaptation strategies. This paper uses existing databases on climate impacts on European agriculture and combines them with an assessment of adaptive capacity to develop an interdisciplinary approach for prioritising policies. It proposes a method for identifying relevant policies for different EU countries that are representative of various agroclimatic zones. Our analysis presents a framework for integrating current...

Staple Food Consumption Patterns in Urban Zambia: Results from the 2007/2008 Urban Consumption Survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mason,   Nicole M.; Jayne,   Thomas S.
After two decades of de-urbanization, Zambia is again becoming increasingly urban. While the urban share of the population fell to 35% in 2000 due primarily to the decline of the copper industry, over half of Zambia’s people will be residing in urban areas by 2040. Given this urbanization trajectory, to be effective, policies to promote smallholder agriculture and improved urban food marketing system performance in Zambia will need to take into consideration the demand patterns of urban food consumers. Urban consumption patterns will increasingly determine the opportunities available to small-scale farmers. Accurate information on urban consumer preferences can also help identify key leverage points and investment priorities to improve the performance of...

Adoption of precision agriculture technology has arrived considerable attention, but abandonment has received little.  This paper identified factors motivating adoption and abandonment of precision soils sampling in cotton.  Younger producers who farmed more cotton area, owned more of their cropland, planted more non-cotton area, or used a computer were more likely to adopt precision soil sampling.  Those with more cotton area or who owned livestock were more likely to abandon, while those who used precision soil sampling longer, or used variable-rate fertilizer application were less likely to abandon precision soil sampling.

VALUING RISK TRADEOFFS AND VOLUNTARY INSECTICIDE REDUCTION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lohr,   Luanne; Park,   Timothy A.; Higley,   Leon.
Farmer's willingness to voluntarily reduce insecticide use is not considered when regulatory approaches to environmental protection are proposed.  Regulations that require behavior that would voluntarily be undertaken are excessive and economically inefficient. Using survey data from a contingent valuation scenario, we demonstrate the willingness of crop producers in four Midwestern states in the U.S. to trade yield losses for environmental risk reduction by eliminating an insecticide application.  The mean acceptable yield loss for a sample of 1,138 producers in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Ohio is $8.25 per acre. Acceptable yield loss increases with the rated importance of environmental goods (fish, birds, mammals, native plants and endangered species),...

The following article analyses the structural changes of the Polish agriculture, which have been influenced by the transformation processes. These processes have been caused and influenced by phenomenas of a various scope and impact, but from the point of view of functioning of agricultural farming a few major factors may be outlined. Amongst the mentioned factors one can find: price decontrol and liberalisation, which have influenced the processes of price and agricultural products realisation, international trade realisation, which have ‘forced’ the increase of business competitiveness in the rural areas, liquidation of state owned and monopolized farming institutions, the lack of which has given those areas the push towards individualized...

Agricultural Productivity Growth in Africa: Is Efficiency Catching-up or Lagging Behind?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mugera,   Amin W.; Ojede,   Andrew.
Recent empirical studies on agricultural productivity growth in African countries have produced mixed results; some find that uptake of new technology (technical progress) is the main source of total factor productivity growth while others point to improved use of existing technology (efficiency catch-up). This study tests for efficiency catch-up in the agricultural productivity of 33 African countries from 1966 to 2001. We use recent advances in data envelopment analysis (DEA) to generate standard and bootstrap bias corrected technical efficiency scores. In general, we find no evidence of efficiency catching-up. The standard DEA overestimated the efficiency scores of some countries due to small sample bias.

HUMAN CAPITAL: EDUCATION AND AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Huffman,   Wallace E.
This chapter presents a review and synthesis of effects of education in agriculture, summarizes major contributions, and suggests major research gaps in the literature.  Although growth in knowledge enables skill acquisition and specialization of labor, which generally raises labor productivity, and technical change, the dominant effect on agriculture has been technical change.  A puzzle remains why schooling does not have broader direct impacts in agriculture.  Furthermore, as we proxy education or general intellectual achievement by schooling in our empirical research, this has led to biased interpretations of impacts when general intellectual achievement of school graduate changes over time and perhaps in nonlinear ways.

Global Trade Reforms and Income Distribution in Developing Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Brooks,   Jonathan; Dewbre,   Joe.
This paper examines the effects of trade and domestic agricultural policy reforms on the distribution of incomes in six developing countries: Brazil, China, India, Malawi, Mexico and South Africa. The aggregate results from a global trade model are fed into separate national models. The insights available from alternative model types are evaluated. The distributional impacts of reform are found to be complex and to vary between countries. Given that it is typically impossible to reform (or equally not reform) without hurting some households with lower incomes, the conclusion is that it makes sense to help these households with targeted policies.

The Economic Value of Patents, Licenses, and Plant Variety Protection
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rausser,   Gordon C.; Small,   Arthur A.
While biotechnology creates new opportunities for agriculture, developments are impeded by confusion in the system for awarding intellectual property rights (IPRs) over agro-biotechnological innovations.  An intelligent redesign IPR system requires attention to how the definition of rights interacts with the market environment, generating incentives to create value.  A distinction is drawn between cost-reducing innovations that increase the efficiency of producing homogeneous outputs and value-adding innovations that create entirely new types of differentiated outputs.  A reform is proposed that would require the mandatory sublicensing of genes and certain core enabling technologies for creating genetically altered organisms.

This brief summarizes detailed analysis of the determinants of household crop income in rural Mozambique from 2002 to 2005. Increased crop income is associated with increases in household land area, use of animal traction, crop diversification into tobacco or cotton, access to market price information, and access to extension agents (for tobacco/cotton growers). Decreases in crop income are associated with drought. Results demonstrate that there are both public and private investments that can enhance farmers’ ability to increase crop income and avoid losses. Priority investments include: development and dissemination of drought-resistant varieties for maize and cassava, conservation farming, animal traction, market information, access to high-value crops...

The Impact of Trade Openness on Technical Efficiency in U.S. Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Miljkovic,   Dragan; Shaik,   Saleem.
This study addresses the impact of trade openness on technical efficiency in the U.S. agricultural sector.  The results indicate that trade protectionism illustrated with a decrease in the share of agricultural imports in agricultural GDP led to an increase in technical efficiency. A change in the share of agricultural exports in agricultural GDP had no impact on technical efficiency.  These results are partially consistent with the premise of the new trade theory, but also seem to be driven by the intricacies of the agricultural sector and agricultural policy in the US and internationally.

The Effect of Innovation on Agricultural and Agri-food Exports in OECD Countries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ghazalian,   Pascal L.; Furtan,   William Hartley.
This paper investigates the effect of innovation on primary agricultural and processed food product exports among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.  A theoretical gravity equation that accounts for innovation is derived.  The empirical exercise uses panel data sets covering 21 OECD countries for the period 1990-2003.  The R&amp;D capital stock is employed as a tangible way of measuring innovation.  Empirical results show that R&amp;D has enhanced exports in the primary agricultural sector.  Meanwhile, the market expansion effect of R&amp;D appears to be more than offset by the market power effect in the food processing sector, resulting in a decrease in exports.  Also, evidence was found of a positive vertical...

Indonesian agricultural trade policy at the crossroads
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Oktaviani,   Rina; Setyoko,   Nur Rakhman; Vanzetti,   David.
Following the global spike in food prices in 2008, there is renewed interest in Indonesia in self-sufficiency as a means of achieving food security. Restrictive trade policies, including specific tariffs on rice and sugar, and quantitative restrictions on imports and exports, have been used in an attempt to meet conflicting objectives of assisting both producers and consumers. Meanwhile, palm oil exports to the European Union are constrained by the importer's concerns about deforestation and its contribution to climate change. Similar constraints may be applied to other commodities as production moves into pristine areas in an attempt to maintain self-sufficiency. On the other hand, more open trade may offer better options to address any...

Energy Efficiency and Shadow Costs of Energy Saving in Conventional Agricultural Production: The Case of Czech Wheat Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Curtiss,   Jarmila; Jelinek,   Ladislav.
Increasing worldwide energy demand and diminishing supplies of fossil fuels have necessitated the development and increasing use of new sustainable energy sources, as well as more parsimonious energy use. In the context of agriculture, research has focused predominantly on the production of bio-energy, while only a limited number of studies have investigated the energy use and possible energy saving in conventional agricultural production. In response to this lack in empirical research this study aims (i) to measure the farm-level energy and cost efficiency of conventional agricultural (wheat) production, (ii) to identify the potential for energy saving in conventional agriculture and quantify its shadow cost, (iii) to identify production technologies and...

Sources of Agricultural Growth in India: Role of Diversification towards High-Value Crops
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Joshi,   P.K.; Birthal,   Pratap Singh; Minot,   Nicholas.
This study examines the sources of crop income growth in Indian agriculture over the 1980s and 1990s. Using a method developed by Minot (2003), the analysis decomposes crop income growth into the contribution of yield increases, area expansion, price increases, and diversification from low-value crops to higher-value crops. The results confirm that at the national level, technology (higher yield) was the main source of crop income growth during 1980s, while rising prices and diversification emerged as the dominant sources of growth in agriculture during 1990s. Diversification towards higher-value crops such as fruits and vegetables accounted for about 27% of crop income growth in the 1980s and 31% in the 1990s. However, these national averages hide...

Climate Change, Risk and Grain Production in China
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holst,   Rainer; Yu,   Xiaohua; Grun,   Carola.
This paper  employs  the production function-based method proposed by  Just and Pope  (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming  and climate change, and  test for a potential endogeneity of climate factors in Chinese  grain production.  Our results indicate that China might, at least in the short run, become a net beneficiary  of climate change.  In particular, we find that increases in annual average temperature  increase mean output at the margin and at the same time lead to a reduction of production  risk.  Further  calculations suggest that a 1 °C increase in annual average temperature  would entail an economic benefit of $1.1 billion due to the increasing mean output.  Furthermore,  a Hausman test...

Decoupled Payments and the Localization of Activities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Daniel,   Karine; Kilkenny,   Maureen.
This article considers the impacts of (de)coupled farm sector support on the locations of farming and agro-industrial activity. An economic geography model is developed which has two types of regions, one with extensive agricultural production (rural), the other with intensive farming that is more densely populated (urban). The farm and agro-industrial sectors are vertically linked. A service sector that is not directly linked to either basic industry is also explicit. We show that coupled and decoupled subsidies affect the spatial distribution of farming, industry, and service sector activity. Support that is provided to all farmers regardless of crop, thus semi-decoupled, increases spatial agglomeration. Support targeted to farmers of particular crops,...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Saunders,   Caroline M.; Wreford,   Anita; Rasin,   Shanika.
As a consequence of global changes to trade policy, there are likely to be significant impacts on international agricultural trade. Clearly producers in the European Union (EU) will experience considerable changes to the structure of their industry, and for a country such as New Zealand, heavily dependent on agricultural exports, changes to policy and markets have the potential to significantly affect the economy. The potential competition from China in terms of agricultural commodities as well as its potential as an export destination for NZ are also important considerations. This paper presents an analysis of the impact of both World Trade Organisation (WTO) and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform in the agricultural sectors of the EU, New Zealand,...

Sulfur in agriculture
Provedor de dados: 90
Autores: Lucheta,Adriano Reis; Lambais,Marcio Rodrigues.
Sulfur (S) deficiency in soils is becoming increasingly common in many areas of the world as a result of agronomic practices, high biomass exportation and reduced S emissions to the atmosphere. In this review, the incidence and commercial exploitation of S pools in nature are discussed, as well as the importance of S for plants and the organic and inorganic S forms in soil and their transformations, especially the process of microbiological oxidation of elemental sulfur (S0) as an alternative to the replenishment of S levels in the soil. The diversity of S0-oxidizing microorganisms in soils, in particular the genus Thiobacillus, and the biochemical mechanisms of S0 oxidation in bacteria were also addressed. Finally, the main methods to measure the S0...

Autores: Zanatta,Josiléia Acordi; Bayer,Cimélio; Vieira,Frederico C.B.; Gomes,Juliana; Tomazi,Michely.
Nitrogen fertilizers increase the nitrous oxide (N2O) emission and can reduce the methane (CH4) oxidation from agricultural soils. However, the magnitude of this effect is unknown in Southern Brazilian edaphoclimatic conditions, as well as the potential of different sources of mineral N fertilizers in such an effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different mineral N sources (urea, ammonium sulphate, calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, Uran, controlled- release N fertilizer, and urea with urease inhibitor) on N2O and CH4 fluxes from Gleysol in the South of Brazil (Porto Alegre, RS), in comparison to a control treatment without a N application.

Autores: Paixão Filho,Jorge L. da; Gabrielli,Giuliano; Coraucci Filho,Bruno; Tonetti,Adriano L.
One option for the increasing production of sewage sludge (SS) is its agricultural use in crops with high nutritional demand, such as the rose. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the application of SS from primary stabilization pond in roses of the variety 'Carola'. For the experiment, the roses were planted in 20 L recipients using increasing doses of sludge (T2 - 12 Mg ha-1, T3 - 24 Mg ha-1 and T4 - 36 Mg ha-1), mineral fertilizer (T5) and control treatment (T1, without N) in a randomized block design. The evaluated parameters were: roots dry mass, aerial dry mass, total biomass, leaflets area and nitrogen concentration in the leaf. The SS application resulted in better development of the rose, increasing the roots and the aerial biomasses, the...

Autores: Silva,Kayoma K. da; Siqueira,Tirzah M.; Adam,Katiucia N.; Castro,Andréa S.; Corrêa,Luciara B.; Leandro,Diuliana.
ABSTRACT Changes in temperature and precipitation intensity and frequency have influenced the water demand for irrigation. Regions that have agriculture-based economies, as in the Ijuí River basin, are often affected by periods of drought or excessive rainfall, which is harmful for agricultural productivity. This study aimed to evaluate future irrigation water demands of four crops in this basin (bean, corn, wheat and soybean), comparing them with a baseline period. Meteorological data forecasts were obtained from the regional climate model ETA 40 CTRL for the climatic scenario A1B, for the baseline (1961-1990) and future (2011-2100) periods. The one-dimensional SWAP model was used to estimate the water demand for irrigation. The results showed that, in...

Abstract In order to evaluate the impact of oil palm cultivation on dung beetles in the eastern Brazilian Amazon, comparisons were made of communities in oil palm plantations and native forest. Pitfall traps baited with human feces were buried to soil level in plantations and surrounding forests. Fifty traps were used in each type of vegetation, placed at 50 m intervals along five transects. Dung beetle communities in oil palm plantations have lower species richness (18 spp.) than in surrounding tropical rainforest (48 spp.), as well as altered species composition. Total abundance of individuals was not significantly different between the two habitats, but species composition was greatly different. Species evenness was greater in the forest. Forest...

In Chile, the cherry tree has been one of the fastest growing and most profitable crops in the last ten years. However, increasing production costs, the scarcity of hired labor, and unfavorable exchange rates have reduced the productivity and competitiveness of the Chilean fruit sector. The aim of this article is to evaluate the harvest labor quality in cherry growing in Chile through the use of productivity indicators. A harvest labor evaluation system (HLES) was designed and four indicators were measured: Average Weight of Harvested Box, Average Daily Production per Worker, Percent of Export Fruit, and Percent of Fruit Discarded. Significant differences werefound between the 2010/11 season (with the HLES implementation) and the previous seasons without...

Abstract: In the last three decades, the developing countries have sharply increased its contribution to global warming. From 2005 to 2012, Brazil has reduced its total emissions in 12% due to deforestation control. In the same period, the total GHG emissions excluding land-use change and forestry have increased 18% (WRI, 2014), while per capita GPD has raised 17%. The Brazilian climate policy must go beyond the deforestation control to avoid an unsustainable pattern of development. Since the mitigation effort bears heavily on primary activities, one must ask: how important are those sectors for Brazilian economy? And how their emissions are connected to other sectors along the productive chain? Specifically, this paper aims to calculate the GHG emissions...

Provedor de dados: 63
Autores: Świtek,Stanisław; Sawinska,Zuzanna.
ABSTRACT Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform in the European Union introduced a new element: greening. The aim of greening is to support the environment and create non-productive value in agriculture. The main element of greening is the Ecological Focus Area (EFA) meaning that a portion of farmland area has to be designed for environmental purposes. This article consists of an evaluatation of greening and its elements in the first year CAP reform has come into force. Surveys were used as a tool to gather information about farm characteristics, ways to meet greening requirements as well as the opinions of farmers as to changes in direct subsidies and greening obligations. The research was conducted in 2015 directly interviewing 290 farmers from the...

Autores: Fonseca,Adriel Ferreira da; Herpin,Uwe; Paula,Alessandra Monteiro de; Victória,Reynaldo Luiz; Melfi,Adolpho José.
In many studies worldwide the use of treated sewage effluents (TSE) as water and nutrient sources in agricultural irrigation have been introduced as a viable alternative for wastewater destination in the environment. Considering agronomic and environmental aspects the objectives of this review were: (i) to present an overview of TSE irrigation on different agro-systems (annual crops, orchards, forests and forages); and (ii) to show the principal changes on chemical, physical and microbiological soil characteristics after TSE application. Various studies have revealed that the nutrient supply only by TSE irrigation was not sufficient to meet plant nutrient requirements resulting in yield decreases. The problem could be solved by an adapted...

Autores: GUSSO,Anibal; DUCATI,Jorge Ricardo; BORTOLOTTO,Virindiana Colet.
ABSTRACT The agricultural dynamics of soybean expansion have long been recognized as a major driver of excessive land cover change on the southwestern border of the Brazilian Amazon. The hypothesis that the soybean market exerts an influence on land use was investigated by the association between economic indicators and soybean crop dynamics in the state of Mato Grosso (western Brazil). We integrated a historical series of satellite data of soybean cropland expansion and the two main economic variables (selling prices and production costs) for soybean in Mato Grosso. We focused on the relation between profit (the difference between the average soybean price and production costs) and land-use transition to soybean from 2001 to 2013. The spatially explicit...

During the last five decades Asia has made considerable development in the field of agricultural machinery. During the year 1960 the condition of mechanization was very poor and most of the farm operations were performed manually. A positive correlation between the farm power availability and the productivity was observed during past 3 decades for several Asian nations including China, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. The previous trends have shown that the Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have experienced only the selective farm mechanization which was found to be initially limited to the use of heavy tractors only. In addition to the full-scale tractors, China, India and Bangladesh have adopted the power tillers and small-scale tractors to co-op with the...

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) approach to design a cultivator for small farm holdings in the West Bengal state of India
Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: Mandal, Dipankar.
Small and marginal farms are one of the big challenges for farm mechanization in the West Bengal state of India. Since the majority of farms are marginal with land holding less than one hectare, use of high capacity equipment is not feasible. The major constraints in the promotion of farm mechanization include the fragmented land holding, low investment capacity of the farmers, the requirement of equipment for each agro-climatic zone of West Bengal, inadequate repairs and maintenance facilities etc. So, small agricultural machinery is gaining importance for research. The cultivator is a secondary tillage tool mostly used in Indian farms. A 5-tyne cultivator may be suitable for small farm lands. So, in this present work, a 5-tyne cultivator was designed...

Methane Production by the Anaerobic Digestion of Tall Fescue samples pre- and post-ensiling, prepared by Thermal (40°C) or Freeze Drying
Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: McEniry, Joseph; O'Kiely, Padraig.
Herbage samples for small-scale batch digestion tests are often dried and milled to provide smaller representative sub-samples for analyses.  Thermal drying, however, can change the chemical composition of a feedstock and these changes may impact on specific CH4 yield.  Consequently, freeze drying is often the preferred system for drying grass samples.  However, additional difficulties are encountered when evaluating silage samples as a result of the loss of volatile compounds during both thermal and freeze drying.  As grass and grass silages are readily used as feedstocks for biogas production, the impact of drying method needs to be considered for herbages pre- and post-ensiling.  This study investigated the effects of thermal (40ºC) and freeze drying on...

Plant- and microbial-based mechanisms to improve the agronomic effectiveness of phosphate rock: a review
Provedor de dados: 42
Autores: Arcand,Melissa M.; Schneider,Kim D.
Deficiency in plant-available phosphorus is considered to be a major limiting factor to food production in many agricultural soils. Mineral resources are necessary to restore soil phosphorus content. In regions where conventional fertilizers are not used due to cost limitations or to mitigate adverse environmental effects, local sources of phosphate rock are being increasingly recognized for potential use as alternative phosphorus fertilizers. The main obstacle associated with using directly applied ground phosphate rock is that the phosphate released is often unable to supply sufficient plant-available phosphorus for crop uptake. Plantand microbial-based mechanisms are low-cost, appropriate technologies to enhance the solubilization and increase the...

Balance between food production, biodiversity and ecosystem services in Brazil: a challenge and an opportunity
Provedor de dados: 49
Autores: Martinelli,Luiz Antonio; Filoso,Solange.
Brazil has a unique position in the world. It is one of the few countries that can be one of the most important producers of food, fiber and biofuel and at the same time maintain its mega biodiversity endowment and vital ecosystems services properly running. This is a challenge that only can be achieved by recognizing the importance of agribusiness sector to the Brazilian economy, but also that ecosystems have limits and we should not endless expand agriculture in the name of "development". Ecosystem services have to be recognized also as a "development" to be kept for the next generations. Agriculture only exists where ecosystems are able to maintain its basic functioning. Therefore, a well preserved nature it is the most precious asset of agriculture.

Is the emergence of fungal resistance to medical triazoles related to their use in the agroecosystems? A mini review
Provedor de dados: 58
Autores: Ribas e Ribas,Aícha Daniela; Spolti,Pierri; Del Ponte,Emerson Medeiros; Donato,Katarzyna Zawada; Schrekker,Henri; Fuentefria,Alexandre Meneghello.
Abstract Triazole fungicides are used broadly for the control of infectious diseases of both humans and plants. The surge in resistance to triazoles among pathogenic populations is an emergent issue both in agriculture and medicine. The non-rational use of fungicides with site-specific modes of action, such as the triazoles, may increase the risk of antifungal resistance development. In the medical field, the surge of resistant fungal isolates has been related to the intensive and recurrent therapeutic use of a limited number of triazoles for the treatment and prophylaxis of many mycoses. Similarities in the mode of action of triazole fungicides used in these two fields may lead to cross-resistance, thus expanding the spectrum of resistance to multiple...

Utility of basic research in plant/crop physiology in relation to crop improvement: a review and a personal account
Provedor de dados: 61
Autores: El-Sharkawy,Mabrouk A.
Agricultural research and development plays an essential role in a nation's economic development, providing for food security for an ever-increasing population. In developed countries, the gap between potential and actual yield is largely closed because of a combination of advanced technologies, high-yielding new varieties and the application of agrochemicals in highly mechanized production systems. In most of these countries, agricultural production exceeds national demand, resulting in excess products for export. In many of the developing countries, however, agricultural productivity is still far below what it should be because of multiple technical and socio-economic constraints. Food deficits are the norm in poor and middle-income countries, requiring...

Effect of the Irrigation Canal Network on Surface and Groundwater Interactions in the Lower Valley of the Cachapoal River, Chile
Provedor de dados: 117
Autores: Arumí,José Luis; Rivera,Diego; Holzapfel,Eduardo; Boochs,Peter; Billib,Max; Fernald,Alexander.
Agricultural production of high value crops in Chile's Central Valley is highly dependent on surface and groundwater resources. They are connected and together form an integrated hydrological system, the individual components of which have to be studied. This research is addressed to answering two questions: 1) to what extent do irrigation and canal seepage contribute to groundwater recharge and 2) what is the influence of the interactions between the Cachapoal River and ground water. The study was carried out from 2003 to 2007 in Peumo Valley (34.3° S, 71.3° W). In winter, the irrigation canal network intercepts and diverts surface runoff, which flows to flat areas and recharges groundwater. In summer, infiltration from the canals recharges the aquifer...

Autores: Muñoz,Cristina; Paulino,Leandro; Vera,Jenniffer; Zagal,Erick.
Chile has different types of soil and climate conditions that favor a wide range of agricultural activities that can generate potential atmospheric contamination like greenhouse gases (GHG). Nevertheless, the contribution of agricultural soils to atmospheric emissions has yet to be measured in Chile. The aim of this study was to assess seasonal variability of CO2 and N2O effluxes in situ from a volcanic ash-derived soil under different agronomic management practices. Gas samples were obtained from headspaces of non-fixed closed chambers in an annual crop rotation under a no-till system in an Andisol in southern Chile (36° S). Two N-sources (NH4+ and NO3-) and ammonium fertilization plus two lime doses (0.5 and 1 Mg ha-1) were considered for soil treatments...

This work is the product of a long process that tried to approximate the principia involved in sustainable agriculture in an attempt to analyze it. We believe that these principia are crucial for the systematic, rigorous, and consistent development of sustainable agriculture. The unifying concepts of agriculture sustainability are classified into seven fundamental principies: (i) there is a hierarchy in decision-making with respect to human actions on the landscape and environment; (ii) human impact on the land should be analyzed from different perspectives (local, global, anthropocentric, and ecocentric); (iii) the carrying capacity in an agrarian context is crucial to ecosystem management and design; (iv) humans arrange nature with little consideration...

Vegetation changes after 15 years of abandonment of crop fields in the Pampas region (Argentina)
Provedor de dados: 118
Autores: Boccanelli,Silvia; Pire,Eduardo; Lewis,Juan.
Agriculture has been practised in the Argentine Pampa region for more than a century. This long history of disturbance has strongly modified the native vegetation of the region. Some original species have disappeared or its area has been remarkably reduced. The objective was to evalúate vegetation changes over time after the abandonment of agriculture practice. Our hypothesis was that over time vegetation in this region will evolve towards a "flechillar" (Stipa spp. community) similar to the original vegetation. The experiment was conducted at Zavalla (Santa Fe) Argentina (33° 01' S, 60° 53' W and 50 m.a.s.1.). Vegetation evolution was studied during 15 years (1982-1997) after abandonment, considering four initial crop situations (i.e. wheat, soybean,...

Effects of contracts and work relationships on salaries and income distribution of workers in the Chilean agricultural sector, 1996 and 2006
Provedor de dados: 118
Autores: Campos,Jorge; Foster,William.
During the past thirty years the Chilean economy generally and agriculture specifically have grown considerably, raising both per capita GDP and observed real wages of salaried workers. There has been, however, a concern about the country's persistent unequal distribution of income. Among the possible factors associated with income inequality is the relatively infrequent use of contracts in seasonal and occasional work, both strongly present in agriculture. Based on Chilean household surveys (CASEN) for 1996 and 2006, impacts of contracts and work relationships (permanent, seasonal, etc.) on salaries, and their possible contributions to inequality, were measured, accounting for schooling, ethnicity, work experience, geographic zones, and other variables...

Transportation costs, agricultural expansion and tropical deforestation: Theory and evidence from Peru
Provedor de dados: 118
Autores: Lucich,Iván M; Villena,Mauricio G; Quinteros,María José.
The growth of urban areas adjacent to forest areas, as well as international trade growth, has accelerated the demand for food. These areas of growth have led to the deforestation of tropical forests, a process that contributes negatively to climate change, and a decline in the provision of environmental services and biodiversity. This article seeks to propose and simulate a theoretical model of optimal control at the household level. This model is used to explain the dynamics of forest loss by expansion of the agricultural frontier. Under these conditions, based on tradable permanent crops, farmers decide whether to install new areas for cultivation or manage existing ones in a context of increasing transportation costs. We simulate a theoretical model...

ABSTRACT: This paper aimed to identify the determinants of beef traceability adoption at farm level in São Paulo State, Brazil. A sample survey of 32 farmers who adopted the European Union certified traceability and 52 other farmers who did not adopt traceability provided data to test hypotheses on determinant factors. Three binomial logit models were used in the analysis. Results suggested that capital-intensive livestock production system, high scale production, access to specialized information and high level of human and social capital play significant role in the adoption decision.

Autores: Szesz Junior,Albino; Monteiro Junior,Marcos; Dias,Ariangelo Hauer; Mathias,Ivo Mário; Conti,Giuvane.
ABSTRACT: Aeration is currently the most commonly used technique to improve the drying and storage of grain, depending on temperature and water content of the grain, as of the temperature and relative humidity of the outside air. In order to monitor temperature and humidity of the grain mass, it is possible to have a network of sensors in the cells of both internal and external storage. Use of artificial intelligence through Fuzzy theory, has been used since the 60s and enables their application on various forms. Thus, it is observed that the aeration of grain in function of representing a system of controlled environment can be studied in relation to the application of this theory. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present an embedded Fuzzy control...

The advancement of technology in agriculture driven by the need to increase efficiency in production transformed agriculture in an eminently anti-ecological activity, with large-scale use of industrialized products. Human beans still live the paradigm of agriculture based on the use of chemical inputs, which often brings harmful consequences to the environment. As an alternative to u the use of pesticides to control pests and diseases, biological control is a practice that has been increasingly encouraged. With it, it is possible to think on changes that promote the conservation of natural resources and of the planet humans live in, contributing to strength the new era in biotechnology education.

ABSTRACT Climate is the set of average atmospheric conditions that characterizes a region. It directly influences the majority of human activities, especially agriculture. Climate classification systems (CCSs) are important tools in the study of agriculture, enabling knowledge of the climatic characteristics of a region. Thus, we aimed to perform the climatic characterization of the State of Paraná using the methods proposed by Köppen and Geiger (1928), modified by Trewartha (1954) (KT), Thornthwaite (1948) (TH) and Camargo (1991) and modified by Maluf (2000) (CM), using data from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) model. The results of spatial interpolation (virtual stations) were performed using the Kriging method in spherical...

ABSTRACT Organic compost from biomass residues constitutes a viable alternative for partial or total replacement of mineral fertilizers for growing vegetables. This study evaluated the effects of compost on the water quality of a stream used mainly for irrigation of agricultural crops cultivated in nearby soil that has been treated with organic compost produced by carcasses, animal and vegetable waste for the last ten years. We sampled water biannually for two years, 2013 and 2014, from five locations along the stream. Physical variables and some chemical variables were analyzed. We also analyzed the total number of coliforms (Escherichia coli). Bacterial populations were compared by carbon substrate consumption. Total phosphorus contents in the samples...
