Resilience, Panarchy, and World-Systems Analysis
Provedor de dados: 7
Autores: Gotts, Nicholas M.; Macaulay Land Use Research Institute; n.gotts@macaulay.ac.uk.
The paper compares two ambitious conceptual structures. The first is the understanding of social-ecological systems developed around the term "resilience," and more recently the term "panarchy," in the work of Holling, Gunderson, and others. The second is Wallerstein's "world-systems" approach to analyzing hierarchical relationships between societies within global capitalism as developed and applied across a broader historical range by Chase-Dunn and others. The two structures have important common features, notably their multiscale explanatory framework, links with ideas concerning complex systems, and interest in cyclical phenomena. They also have important differences. It is argued that there are gaps in both sets of ideas that the other might remedy....

Autores: MELO, C. F. M. de; SOUZA, H. B. de; LOUREIRO, M. R. C.; WISNIEWSKI, A.
Reunindo excelentes características, a madeira de Ucuúba (Virola surínamensis (Rol) Warb) tem sido extensivamente empregada na fabricação de laminados. Como consequêncía do processo produtivo, a madeira que não pode ser integralmente aproveitada, deixa um apreciável resíduo que, a falta de melhor emprêgo, não tem tido outra utilizaçãc senão como combustível na própria Usina. Estudando-se a ucuúba como fonte de celulose para papel, conclui-se que se trata, na verdade, de excelente matéria: prima, mesmo os resíduos de laminação que se constituem de restos de madeira de várias idades; Podem ser produzidos papéis Kraft de bôa qualidade, em ambos os casos, embora quando se trate da utilização dos resíduos de laminação as características de resistência ao...

Autores: ALVES, E. R. de A.
Os índices de produtividade expressam a relação entre o produto e os insumos consumidos na produção. Podem ser de natureza parcial ou agregada. No caso da agricultura, os mais estudados dizem respeito à produção por área e à produção por trabalho. Uma maneira alternativa de se medir a produtividade do trabalho é o índice "área cultivada" por trabalhador. O seu crescimento indica que cada trabalhador é capaz de cultivar área maior. De uma certa maneira, o seu crescimento indica a intensidade da introdução de tecnologia mecânica.

O oleorresina de copaíba (Copaifera L.) é um dos mais tradicionais produtos florestais não madeireiros extraídos na Amazônia. No entanto, como todos os outros produtos oriundos da floresta, apresenta lacunas de conhecimento e tecnologias para consolidação da cadeia produtiva. Na busca pela melhoria ergonômica e efi ciência na extração do oleorresina de copaíba, foi testada a viabilidade técnica do uso de um trado adaptado à motosserra para obtenção de oleorresina de copaíba.

Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: MOREIRA, W. A.; CHOUDHURY, M. M.
Nematóides são organismos microscópicos, vermiformes, que, na sua maioria, são habitantes do solo. Como parte do complexo biótico do solo, apresentam diferentes hábitos alimentares, podendo ser bacteriófagos, micófagos, algófagos, protozoófagos, carnívoros ou predadores e parasitas de plantas superiores. Em sua maioria, os nematóides fitoparasitas sobrevivem alimentando-se do sistema radicular das plantas, sobre as quais podem desenvolver, simultaneamente ou não, ação traumática, espoliadora e tóxica.

The experience of offshore marine fish farming in France
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: De La Pomelie, C; Paquotte, Philippe.
A natural endowment of three coast lines with different structures, of numerous rivers coming from mountainous regions and of different climatic conditions has enabled France to develop one of the first European aquaculture sectors in terms of volume with almost 300 000 tonnes in 1996. This development has been based on a wide range of species and on a wide range of techniques. Intensive marine fish farming has been developing during the last decade only, after many years of stagnation due to the lack of reliable technology for species adapted to French climate. Techniques of production are very diverse. Although earth ponds and race-ways are used only by 25% of the marine fish farms, this technique accounts for 40% of the production. On the contrary, many...

Influence de paramètres technologiques sur les propriétés sensorielles de semi-conserves d'anchois à l'huile
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Cardinal, Mireille; Cornet, Josiane; Etienne, Monique.
As part of the contract between IFREMER and CITPPM (Confédération des Industries de Traitements des Produits de la Pêche Maritime), a study was undertaken to know the influence of sorne manufacture parameters on quality of canned anchovy.  Various factors have been studied : quality of raw material, salting time in tank, ripening temperature, pressing or drying rate and also storage temperature after manufacture.  This report presents only sensory results; the others analytical data are discussed in a synthetic report on this study.  Sensory evaluations show a real effect of raw material quality on final product and it seems that fish glazing and a too long time of salting prevent development of ripening caracteristics.  With regard to others factors; it...

Offshore mollusc production in the Mediterranean basin
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Danioux, Christian; Bompais, Xavier; Paquotte, Philippe; Loste, Claudine.
In the Mediterranean basin, offshore mollusc production takes place mainly in France and Italy. Its recent development stems from the limited potential of lagoons and ponds, and centres mainly on mussel production. Suspension culture technologies are described and compared with those used in the Atlantic. Some information is given on the production systems and a short economic study demonstrates the profitability of these shellfish farming activities, in spite of the many risks involved and their relatively low profit margins.

Traitement des langoustines et des crevettes contre le noircissement
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Chantreau, Patrick; Vallet, Jean-luc.
The conservation of crawfish requires the use of chemical substances making it possible to limit blackening.  This phenomenon this blackening (melanine) is due to the coordinated action of three elements: - oxygen,   - an enzyme (cupro-protein),  - a suitable substrate, tyrosin or the dihydroxyphénylalanine.  The absence of the one of them allows a notorious reduction in the phenomenon.  Several antioxydant products, were used to prevent the formation of the mélanine. The métabisutfite of soda or potassium as well as soda bisulfite in acid solution, are currently used to treat crawfish and shrimps.  Several methods of use of these pesticides exist, we propose in this report to present the principal ones, as well as the control methods making it possible to...

Autores: Lass,   Daniel A.; Morzuch,   Bernard J.; Rogers,   Richard T.
Teaching technology effects on student learning in a large lecture introductory statistics course were tested. Findings show in-class personal response systems and on-line homework/quizzes significantly improve student exam scores. We infer proven small class techniques, participating in class and doing homework via technologies, can restore sound pedagogy in larger classes. The experiment was conducted using just one class, but factors usually unaccounted for in assessment research were controlled, especially the instructor and other materials. The technologies investigated here can provide learning benefits to students even in larger courses often criticized for their inability to provide students quality learning experiences.

Promoting micro-irrigation technologies that reduce poverty
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
According to research done by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), one-third of the world’s population will face absolute water scarcity by the year 2025. Among the worst hit will be regions in Asia, the Middle-East and Sub-Saharan Africa, home to some of the largest concentrations of rural poverty in the world. Policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and farmers are pursuing various technical, institutional and policy interventions to meet this challenge. Micro-irrigation technologies, commonly in use in water scarce areas of developed countries, constitute one such intervention with the ability to use water more efficiently in irrigated agriculture. These technologies can improve productivity; raise incomes through crop yields and outputs; and...

Új agrárstratégia alapjai
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Buday-Santha,   Attila.
Az agrártermelés helyzetének romló tendenciája és a vidék kilátástalansága egyre határozottabban követeli egy egységes agrár- és vidékstratégia kialakítását. Erre azonban nemcsak külső okok, de az ágazatban érdekeltek mély belső ellentétei miatt ma sincsen sok remény. Ehhez le kellene számolni sok, a rendszerváltás óta létező, a rendszerváltás törvényei által védett tabuval, amihez az agrárágazat és a vidék sorsa iránt nagyobb felelősségre, alázatra és együttműködésre lenne szükség. Ehhez kíván a rövid tanulmány az alábbiakkal hozzájárulni. Látható, hogy a mezőgazdasági termelés értéke lényegében két évtizede stagnál, miközben a nagyobb hozzáadott értéket és a gazdaság belső vertikumát képező ágaza¬tok, mint a kertészet, az állattenyésztés fokozatosan...

A Dynamic Decision Model of Technology Adoption under Uncertainty: Case of Herbicide-Resistant Rice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Annou,   Mamane Malam; Wailes,   Eric J.; Thomsen,   Michael R.
Herbicide-resistant (HR) rice technology is a potential tool for control of red rice in commercial rice production.  Using an ex ante mathematical programming framework, this research presents an empirical analysis of HR rice technology adoption under uncertainty.  The analysis accounts for stochastic germination of red rice and sheath blight to model a profit maximization problem of crop rotation among HR rice, regular rice, and soybeans.  The results demonstrate that risk attitudes and technology efficiency determine adoption rates and optimal rotation patterns.

Is Monsanto Leaving Money on the Table? Monopoly Pricing and Bt Cotton Value with Heterogeneous Adopters
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Oehmke,   James F.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
We examine the allocation of technology rents between a price-setting, innovating monopolist and heterogeneous technology adopters.  A model of monopoly pricing in the presence of heterogeneous adopters is used to examine conditions under which greater producer (farmer) heterogeneity leads to greater producer benefit from innovation in non-competitive markets.  An application to Bt cotton determines the profit-maximizing price of Bt cotton seed and reveals that Monsanto and Delta and Pine Land are indeed leaving money on the table in the form of unexploited profit opportunities.  However, we estimate that the presence of heterogeneous adopters explains over 80% of the rents that accrue to the farmers.

The place of technology transfer processes in the system of methods for researching the area of Science -Technology-Innovation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wisniewska,   Joanna.
The growing importance and scope of technology transfer processes undertaken all over the world settles the question of the necessity for their proper identification. The multi-aspect character and complexity of these phenomena create specific problems in conducting analytic work. Although technology transfer is an element of the Science-Technology-Innovation (STI) system, it does not have a proper place in the existing methodology system of this area. The aim of this article is to point out the necessity to create a proper, complex and comprehensive methodology for researching technology transfer processes, which would contribute to better understanding of the processes themselves and at the same time enable their proper development.

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.

Technology Adoption And Pest Control Strategies Among  UK Cereal Farmers: Evidence from Parametric and  Nonparametric Count Data Models
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sharma,   Abhijit; Bailey,   Alastair; Fraser,   Iain.
This paper examines technology adoption and integrated pest management strategies employed by UK farmers, using both parametric and nonparametric methods.  We employ a unique survey data set collected from UK cereal farmers to assess  the determinants of technology adoption in relation to pest management. Our preferred model specification is nonparametric which makes use of the recently developed methods of Li and Racine (2007) and Racine and Li (2004). These methods allow us to combine categorical and continuous data and thereby avoid sample splitting and resulting efficiency losses. Our analysis reveals that total area farmed is positively related to the number of technologies adopted, whereas age is negatively  related. We also find evidence of...

A Tale of Two Market Failures: Technology and Environmental Policy
Provedor de dados: 31

Market failures associated with environmental pollution interact with market failures associated with the innovation and diffusion of new technologies. These combined market failures provide a strong rationale for a portfolio of public policies that foster emissions reduction as well as the development and adoption of environmentally beneficial technology. Both theory and empirical evidence suggest that the rate and direction of technological advance is influenced by market and regulatory incentives, and can be cost-effectively harnessed through the use of economicincentive based policy. In the presence of weak or nonexistent environmental policies, investments in the development and diffusion of new environmentally beneficial technologies are very likely...

The Forest Sector: Important Innovations
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sedjo,   Roger A.
Unlike other resources such as petroleum, coal, and copper, forests are renewable. Yet, in many respects forests historically have been treated as a nonrenewable resource in that forest stocks were depleted or "mined" and loggers moved on to exploit other "deposits." The lands were often put to other uses, typically agricultural, or allowed to regenerate naturally. This paper looks at technical change in forest extraction, i.e., logging under a number of different conditions. It finds that, on average, labor productivity has been increasing in recent decades. However, total factor productivity in the US has declined in recent years. In addition, the study examines the tree-growing potential of plantation forestry. It finds that there is underway a...

Participatory technology development has been used for quite some time. However, little is known about how farmers perceive participatory methods and processes. Understanding farmers’ concerns about the participatory process can be an important starting point and can further the ultimate aim of encouraging sustained technology adoption. An ex-post participatory technology development and transfer evaluation was carried out in Zimbabwe in 2006/07 involving 231 farmers. It was revealed that use of demonstration trials encouraged the most participation and subsequent adoption and adaptation of the technologies to suit specific needs. The participatory nature of the process encouraged greater knowledge sharing among farmers and gave them more confidence in the...

Vertical Coordination in the Pork and Broiler Industries: Implications for Pork and Chicken Products
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Martinez,   Stephen W.
Recent changes in structure of the U.S. pork industry reflect, in many ways, past changes in the broiler industry. Production contracts and vertical integration in the broiler industry facilitated rapid adoption of new technology, improved quality control, assured market outlets for broilers, and provided a steady flow of broilers for processing. Affordable, high-quality chicken products have contributed to continual increases in U.S. chicken consumption, which has surpassed pork and beef on a per capita basis. Incentives for contracting and vertical integration in the pork industry may yield comparable results. If so, these arrangements might be expected to result in larger supplies of higher quality pork products at economical prices.

Farming systems research for wet-season non-rice upland crops in Cambodia is being conducted with the overall aim of poverty reduction and food security for farmers in the Provinces of Battambang and Kampong Cham. Some of these cash crops exhibit low and variable incomes, especially when grown in the early wet season. Cambodian farmers may borrow money to buy crop inputs and often sell their produce to companies and traders from neighbouring countries, hence they are price takers. Some new crop technologies are evaluated which relate to soil and crop fertility management interacting with climatic factors. The DSSAT crop simulation model is used to predict outcomes from alternative management strategies. Bio-economic analyses are conducted to assess the...

During the last 3 decades, donors and governments have invested in the development and dissemination of new technologies in the semi-arid tropics of West Africa. Though a wide range of improved technologies has been developed, adoption remains low without a significant impact on crop productivity, rural income and poverty. Agricultural transformation as occurred in East Asia has not yet occurred in the semi-arid tropics of West Africa. This paper uses data from a regional survey of rural households in 3 countries in West Africa (Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger) to identify the determinants of uptake of improved technologies. Limited productivity gain is found to be a major constraint to the uptake of technologies. In addition, poorly functioning...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Azad,   Md Abdus Samad; Mustafi,   B.A.A.; Hossain,   Mahabub.
Hybrid rice, one of the viable and proven technologies has been considered as a new frontier to increase rice production for meeting growing demand for staple food in Bangladesh. Using farm survey data this paper examines comparative profitability of hybrid and inbred rice cultivation and estimates a Stochastic Frontier Function to determine the effect of key variables on farm efficiency. Results show that hybrid rice gives substantially higher yield as well as net return compared to inbred rice which leads to increase and sustainable growth of food grain production. Analysis of Stochastic Frontier model shows hybrid rice farms are technically more efficient than inbred.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Conley,   Timothy G.; Udry,   Christopher R.
This paper investigates the role of social learning in the diffusion of a new agricultural technology in a developing country: Ghana. We use unique data on farmers’ communication patterns to define each individual’s information neighborhood, the set of others from whom he might learn. Our empirical strategy is to test whether farmers change their input decisions to align with those of their neighbors who were successful in previous periods. We present evidence that farmers adopt successful neighbors’ practices, conditional on many potentially confounding factors including the physical proximity of plots, credit arrangements, clan membership, and soil characteristics.

The recent volatility of energy prices has numerous policy implications for agriculture. A better understanding of the factors associated with energy consumption as related to crop production management decisions and technology use may provide insight about how producers might respond to program or market incentives targeting energy use in particular, and soil and water conservation in general. Adoption of minimum tillage could reduce erosion and improved fertilizer management practices could reduce nitrogen runoff. Energy costs may be reduced with adoption of reduced tillage technology, improved drying and irrigation systems, or more careful attention to the application and timing of fertilizers.

The estimate of the net present value of the research and development investment was $93 million expressed in 1996/97 terms. The benefit–cost ratio was 38:1 and the internal rate of return estimated at 64 per cent.  If benefits realised by 1996/97 were considered, the net present value was $30 million, the benefit–cost ratio was 13:1, and the internal rate of return was 63 per cent.  Benefits accrued to both Thailand and Australia, with the proportion of...

Explaining Growth in Dutch Agriculture: Prices, Public R&amp;D, and Technological Change
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Jongeneel,   Roelof A.; Ge,   Lan.
This paper analyzes the sources of growth of Dutch agriculture (arable, meat, and dairy sectors). Because the time series data (1950-1997) are non-stationary and not cointegrated, it is argued that a model estimated in first differences should be used. Estimated price elasticities turn out to be very inelastic, both in the short-run and the long-run. The direct distortionary effect of price support has therefore been rather limited. However, price support has an important indirect effect by improving the sectors investment possibilities and therewith the capital stock. Public R&amp;D expenditure mainly affected agriculture by contributing to yield improvement therewith favoring intensification of production.

Prospects for Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Anderson,   Soren T.; Newell,   Richard G.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies remove carbon dioxide from flue gases for storage in geologic formations or the ocean. We find that CCS is technically feasible and economically attractive within the range of carbon policies discussed domestically and internationally. Current costs are about $200 to $250 per ton of carbon, although costs are sensitive to fuel prices and other assumptions and could be reduced significantly through technical improvements. Near-term prospects favor CCS for certain industrial sources and electric power plants, with storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Deep aquifers may provide an attractive longer-term storage option, whereas ocean storage poses greater technical and environmental uncertainty. Vast...

Policy-Induced Technology Adoption: Evidence from the U.S. Lead Phasedown
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kerr,   Suzi; Newell,   Richard G.
The theory of environmental regulation suggests that economic instruments, such as taxes and tradable permits, create more effective technology adoption incentives than conventional regulatory standards. We explore this issue for an important industry undergoing technological responses to a dramatic decrease in allowed pollution levels - the petroleum industry's phasedown of lead in gasoline. Using a panel of refineries from 1971 to 1995, we provide some of the first direct evidence that alternative policies affect the pattern of adoption in expected ways. Importantly, we find that the tradable permit system used during the lead phasedown provided incentives for more efficient technology adoption decisions. Where environmentally appropriate, this suggests...

Farmer Willingness to Pay for Seed-Related Information: Rice Varieties in Nigeria and Benin
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horna,   J. Daniela; Smale,   Melinda; von Oppen,   Matthias.
A typical private good is defined by its excludability and rivalry characteristics. Information embodied in a technology might not generate rivalry among its users. By contrast, excludability is certainly a characteristic of this kind of information and its delivery can generate incentives for private participation. This study examines farmers’ preferences for seed of new rice varieties and their willingness to pay for seed-related information in villages of Nigeria and Benin. Conjoint analysis is used to estimate the structure of farmers’ preferences for rice seed given a set of alternatives. Farmers are considered to be consumers of seed as a production input, preferring one variety over another based on the utility they obtain from its attributes, which...

The optimal suppression of a low-cost technology by a durable-good monopoly
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Karp,   Larry S.; Perloff,   Jeffrey M.
If a durable-good monopoly can use either of two technologies whose properties are known to consumers, the monopoly uses only the technology with the lowest average cost at low levels of production. If consumers only know about technologies in use, the monopoly may use an inferior technology initially to increase its profits, keeping the new, efficient technology secret and switching later. Thus, in either case, an inferior technology may be used; however, switching between technologies occurs only if consumers are not fully informed about both technologies.

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.

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.

The probability of a business paying various amounts of money for an e-commerce presence ultimately depends on demographic features, experiences with e-commerce from a buyer’s and seller’s perspective, technological expertise, and knowledge of e-commerce opportunities and limitations.  Estimating functions to assign probabilities associated with the willingness to pay for an e-commerce presence will assist in forecasting regional likelihood of certain profiles paying various monetary amounts for an e-commerce presence.  In addition, if services are provided at no cost by a third party, value to a society will be maximized by selecting profiles with the highest willingness to pay.

Suppose that the production, y = f (x1, x2,..., xs ) , is known. It says that we are able to know for each value of the input vector, 1 2 , ,..., s x x x , the correspondent value of y. Or yet production growth occurs as consequence of movement along the production frontier, and it requires a different combination of inputs, and consequently, a higher or a smaller expenditure. Another representation of the production structure is, 1 2 ( , ,..., , ) s y = f x x x t , where t is non negative real number. Now each set of 1 2 , ,..., s x x x gives a different y as t varies. Or, it is possible to achieve a higher level of production with no additional cost. A question comes to mind: can the real world (or the data) say which one of the two representations has a...

Examination of Ethanol Marketing and Input Procurement Practices of the U.S. Ethanol Producers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spaulding,   Aslihan D.; Schmidgall,   Timothy J.
Growing concerns about the dependence on foreign oil and high prices of gasoline have led to rapid growth in ethanol production in the past decade. Unlike earlier development of the ethanol industry which was highly concentrated in a few large corporations, recent ownership of the ethanol plants has been by farmer-owned cooperatives. Not much is known about the marketing and purchasing practices and plants’ flexibility with respect to adapting new technologies. The purpose of this research is to fill the gap in knowledge on these practices and to test whether the practices differ with the size and type of ownership.

The Solaria Syndrome: Social Capital in a Growing Hyper-technological Economy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Antoci,   Angelo; Sabatini,   Fabio; Sodini,   Mauro.
We develop a dynamic model to analyze the sources and the evolution of social participation and social capital in a growing economy characterized by exogenous technical progress. Starting from the assumption that the well-being of agents basically depends on material and relational goods, we show that the best-case scenarios hold when technology and social capital both support just one of the two productions at the expenses of the other. However, trajectories are possible where technology and social interaction balance one another in fostering the growth of both the social and the private sector of the economy. Along such tracks, technology may play a crucial role in supporting a “socially sustainable” economic growth.

Land Use and Greenhouse Gas Implications of Biofuels: Role of Technology and Policy
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chen,   Xiaoguang; Huang,   Haixiao; Khanna,   Madhu.
This paper examines the extensive and intensive margin changes in land use in the U.S. likely to be induced by biofuel policies and the implications of these policies for GHG emissions over the 2007-2022 period. The policies considered here include the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) by itself as well as combined with current biofuel tax credits or a carbon price policy. We use a dynamic, spatial, multi-market equilibrium model, Biofuel and Environmental Policy Analysis Model (BEPAM), to endogenously determine the effects of these policies on cropland allocation, food and fuel prices, and the mix of first and second-generation biofuels. We find that the increase in crop prices under the RFS is likely to be less than 20% in most cases and this increase is...

Agricultural growth and agrarian structure in the Brazilian Cerrado: the role of land prices, natural resources and technology
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rezende,   Gervasio Castro de.
This paper argues that the rapid agricultural expansion of the cerrado regions in Brazil is due to the low price of land in these regions, as compared with the other agricultural regions of Brazil and abroad. This low price of land is, in turn, attributed not only to the greater distance of these regions from the main markets, but also to the limitations of natural resources (the extremely harsh drought period, which limits agricultural activities to grains and livestock) and, above all, to technological innovations that “produced” an abundance of land of good quality. In order to show more clearly how this process has taken place, the paper develops a model of the land market that allows for “production of land,” and derives the implications of such a...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Spielman,   David J.; Davis,   Kristin E.; Negash,   Martha; Ayele,   Gezahegn.
Agriculture in Ethiopia is changing. New players, relationships, and policies are influencing how smallholders access and use information and knowledge. Although this growing complexity suggests opportunities for Ethiopian smallholders, too little is known about how these opportunities can be effectively leveraged to promote pro-poor processes of rural innovation. This paper examines Ethiopia’s smallholder agricultural sector to provide qualitative insights into the interactions between smallholders and other actors in the agricultural sector and the contribution those interactions make to the smallholders’ innovation processes. Case studies of smallholder innovation networks in 10 communities suggest that public sector extension and administration exert a...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mao,   Weining; Koo,   Won W.
This study applies a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to analyze total factor productivity, technology, and efficiency changes in Chinese agricultural production from 1984 to 1993. Twenty- nine provinces in China were classified into advanced-technology and low-technology categories.  The Malmquist productivity measures were decomposed into two components: technical change index and efficiency change index.  The results showed that total factor productivity has risen in most provinces for both technology categories.  Technical progress has been the most important factor to Chinese agricultural productivity growth since 1984 and will remain crucial to productivity growth in low-technology provinces.  Low efficiency in many important agricultural...

The Effects of the Internet on U.S. Bilateral Trade in Agricultural and Horticultural Commodities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wheatley,   W. Parker; Roe,   Terry L.
This paper discusses some of the reasons why the Internet might have a positive effect on the international trade in agricultural and horticultural commodities between the United States and its partners.  It provides some simple econometric tests which differentiate the export and import effects of Internet infrastructure and cost.  It also shows that the effect may be dependent on product heterogeneity/perishability.  Given the growth of the Internet over the past decade, coming to terms and measuring these effects is important to both producers and policymakers in considering the competitive impacts of this new technology.

Research, Technology, and Farm Structure
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Offutt,   Susan E.
Public debate about the relationships among research, technology, and farm size is often fueled by a particular hypothesis, that public sector research supports the development of scale-biased technologies that lead to fewer and larger farms. The evidence suggests that it is the private sector that dominated the development of concentrated on biological innovations, more likely to be scale neutral. Moreover, powerful, macroeconomic and social forces, not simply the availability of new technologies, have driven change in the number and size distribution of American farms. The complexity of the determinants of farm structure make it unlikely that public research can guarantee the development of technologies that, by themselves, result in the preservation of...

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...

Autores: Vander Vennet,   B.; Lauwers,   Ludwig H.
This poster aims at describing different groups of technology use within a farm population and at delivering realistic prognoses of their future status as input for sector modeling. This because sector models are in many cases not based on reasonable technological progress estimations or too simplified as normative estimation or seen as mere extrapolation of past evolutions. The classification and utilization of technology groups is done for livestock activities, but illustrated hereafter for the finishing pigs activities. The research is worked out in three phases: • Organizational aspects of tuning information demand and supply; • Identification of technology groups; • Evolution of technology groups. Following techniques are used to identify the...

Technology Prizes for Climate Change Mitigation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newell,   Richard G.; Wilson,   Nathan E.
We analyze whether technology inducement prizes could be a useful complement to standard research grants and contracts in developing climate change mitigation technologies. We find that there are important conceptual advantages to using inducement prizes in certain circumstances. These conceptual inferences are borne out by an examination of the track record of prizes inducing research into public goods, including relevant energy technologies. However, we also find that the prizes' successes are contingent on their proper design. We analyze how several important design elements could influence the effectiveness of a climate technology prize.
