Autores: Brouwer, Stijn; VU University Amsterdam, Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM); stijn.brouwer@ivm.vu.nl; Biermann, Frank; VU University Amsterdam, Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM); frank.biermann@ivm.vu.nl.
The growing awareness of the complexities and uncertainties in water management has put into question the existing paradigms in this field. Increasingly more flexible, integrated, and adaptive policies are promoted. In this context, the understanding of how to effect policy change is becoming more important. This article analyzes policy making at the micro level, focusing on the behavior of policy entrepreneurs, which we understand here as risk-taking bureaucrats who seek to change policy and are involved throughout the policy-change process. Policy entrepreneurs have received a certain level of attention in the adaptive co-management literature and the policy sciences in past decades. Yet, the understanding of the actions they can take to facilitate...

THE SUCCESS OF THE BRAZILIAN ALCOHOL PROGRAM (PROÁLCOOL) - A DECADE-BY-DECADE BRIEF HISTORY OF ETHANOL IN BRAZIL
Provedor de dados: 70
Autores: Stolf,Rubismar; Oliveira,Ana Paula Rodrigues de.
ABSTRACT The National Alcohol Program (Proálcool) was a strategic policy of the Brazilian government to replace petroleum-based fuels with alcohol (ethanol). Based on the review, we can choose the 1960s as a start point for a leap in development. Over the 500 years of sugarcane history in Brazil, the crop enters the second decade of the 21st century with extraordinary strength and prestige, reaching its highest production in history. This made Brazil a leader in sugar and ethanol productions worldwide, with an energy-independent agribusiness. Moreover, effluents and polluting wastes were transformed into high-value inputs (e.g., vinasse, filter cake, and others). Environmentally friendly actions included developing organic cane production technology,...

COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FIRMS: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. AGRICULTURE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Begemann,   Brett D.
The agricultural biotechnology industry has evolved from a focus on outstanding science to a more mature phase where firms focus on near-term products and building businesses.  Understanding complex relationships and distribution channels and a global perspective are crucial to commercialization.  Yet, leading-edge technology and early identification of key traits will be critical to developing superior products that ensure competitiveness in the marketplace.   Monsanto is organizing around a life sciences model where seed, crop chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food ingredient businesses will exploit mutual synergies driven by basic science and discovery.

ROMANIAN INSURANCE BUSINESS TRENDS AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS EFFECTS ON IT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Joldes,   Cosmin; Horobet,   Alexandra.
Is it interesting a 2 billion euro insurance market for the “old” Europe? “Not very much” one may say considering this figure represents no more than 16% of the insurance turn-over in the case of the most recent entry in the Romanian market, Groupama. The answer is still not as simple as that because “interesting” in business terms is not only about today, but very much about tomorrow. By the end of 2007 it was obvious that the Romanian insurance market is far from calming down. Not only that for the time being change is still the main real constant in use, but figures show that the market environment becomes more challenging than ever these days. The market situation showed that this allegation it was by that time more likely to be true than ever.

Exploratory Research into the Resilience of Farming Systems during Periods of Hardship
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Parsonson-Ensor,   Chris; Saunders,   Caroline M.
This paper investigates the management strategies and responses used by New Zealand sheep and beef farmers to ensure resilience during periods of hardship. Using two, farm level surveys conducted in 1986 and 2010, some aspects of resilient farming systems were identified. Despite apparent hardship current farmers seemed more willing to take risks, with many more borrowing to invest in on farm developments than those in 1986. The main similarity between time periods was the greatest response to economic changes being the adoption of a low input policy. This result was quite significant, as conventional farmers are generally believed to resort to other strategies or responses.

Nas últimas décadas, verificou-se uma mudança no comportamento do consumidor no sentido de adotar uma postura mais consciente em relação aos produtos que adquire. No setor alimentício, essa evolução é nítida, em função da busca por uma maior qualidade de vida, agregando à dieta questões de saúde, incluindo produtos com menor conteúdo de gorduras e calorias, rico em fibras, pobre em sódio etc. A indústria de alimentos, assim como toda a cadeia agroalimentar vem acompanhando esse maior interesse por parte do consumidor. Assim, é de extrema relevância que as decisões de marketing estejam apoiadas nas premissas do mercado, sob pena de se praticar ótimas ações mercadológicas para públicos errados ou de fácil resposta para os concorrentes, sob risco de...

Autores: Karcagi-Kovats,   Andrea; Katona-Kovacs,   Judit.
One of the most pressing phenomena in recent decades in Europe’s rural areas is population decline. This article summarises how the national sustainable development strategies (NSDS) and the national rural development programmes (NRDP) of the European Union (EU) Member States conceptualise processes of depopulation of rural areas. It gives a systematic overview of the main factors of population decline identified in the strategies and programmes and lists the objectives set and measures proposed by these documents. Although the majority of documents identify the depopulation process and all consider it to be a negative phenomenon, there are no commonly accepted objectives or principles regarding the desired extent of demographic changes in rural areas: the...

Indicators for the assessment of the potential for employment creation in rural areas
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Fieldsend,   Andrew F.
The EU Framework 7 project “RuralJobs” has used the DPSIR model to show the link between ‘driving forces’ of employment and economic prosperity, and policy responses. These driving forces can be ‘endogenous’ or (neo-) ‘exogenous’ to the territory. They act on the labour market or employment (‘state’) through the ‘pressures’ of jobs (economic activities) and people (the labour force). In turn, the employment rate (jobs per person) influences the ‘impact’ (sustainable economic prosperity). ‘Responses’ can be policy responses or socio-economic responses. A set of 40 indicators was compiled from strategies and programmes relevant to employment in rural areas in the EU.

Australian farmers operate in one of the most risky environment in the world. They have to cope with various sources of risk in their businesses. This paper reports results of two case studies undertaken to examine the issues of farming risks and risk management strategies in Australia. The first case study found that climate variability, financial risk, marketing risk, and personal risk were regarded as the major sources of farming risk in the Upper Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. The main management strategies used by farmers included diversifying varieties, minimising tillage, minimising area of risky crops and maximising area of the least-risky crop, having high equity, having farm management deposits and other off-farm investments, and "leaving...

ABSTRACT This study presents an empirical examination of climate change related to vulnerability impacts on food security and remedial adaptation options as a suitable strategy by prioritizing needs over a 50-year period. An Empirical Dynamic Commutable General Equilibrium Model for Climate and the Economy (EDCGECE) is applied using future strategies for Malaysia against a baseline scenario of existing conditions, following the top-down options. The model takes into account various climatic variables, including climatic damage, carbon cycle, temperature and rainfall fluctuation, carbon emissions, vulnerability and carbon concentrations, which were adapted from national observational predictions of climatic changes caused by global warming from 2015 to...
