Última The Impact of Social Capital on Farm and Household Income: Results of a Survey among Individual Farmers in Poland AgEcon Wolz, Axel; Fritzsch, Jana; Reinsberg, Klaus. Private farming is the dominant mode of agricultural production in most European countries. Not all farmers are equally successful, economically. In this paper it is analysed whether social capital is an important factor contributing to higher agricultural incomes. Based on the findings of a farm survey in Poland among 410 farmers by adopting factor and multiple regression analysis it can be deduced that social capital is indeed a significant factor determining the level of agricultural income. However, its impact not that clear-cut as anticipated. More in-depth analysis will be needed in the future.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/24442 The role of grazier motivations and risk attitudes in the adoption of grazing best management practices AgEcon Greiner, Romy; Miller, Owen; Patterson, Louisa. The onus on landholders in relation to environmental performance is ever increasing. One tool for achieving environmental improvements is the design and promotion of region-specific ‘best management practices’ (BMPs). These are conservation practices aimed at reducing diffuse source pollution from agricultural lands and thus improving end-of-catchment water quality. A suite of grazing BMPs were developed for the Burdekin Dry Tropics region in a consultative fashion but without explicit consideration of knowledge of adoption processes. It is known from the literature that farmers’ goals and risk perceptions in particular influence adoption decisions. This paper utilises the data from an earlier grazier survey to explore to what extent grazier motivations...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6002 Values, attitudes, and goals of future Hungarian food engineers AgEcon Hajdu, Istvanne; Lakner, Zoltan. Over the last few decades Hungarian higher education has been radically transformed, and this transformation was implemented to counter the backwardness that previously plagued the education system. Agricultural education in particular was part of this transformation process, which included the disciplines of food science and related technology. This attempt at transformation yielded only a partial success; student numbers shot up, but there was no subsequent general improvement in the efficiency of higher education. This article is based on two surveys carried out in 1997 and 2007. The students’ values can be characterised as pluralistic and heterogenous. Based on longitudinal research, a shift can be seen toward materialistic and hedonistic values. The...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/46444 The role of empirical research in the study of complex forms of governance in agroindustrial systems Rev. Econ. Sociol. Rural Monteiro,Guilherme Fowler A.; Saes,Maria Sylvia Macchione; Caleman,Silvia Morales de Queiroz; Zylbersztajn,Décio. The growing complexity of supply chains poses new challenges for Agricultural Research Centers and statistical agencies. The aim of this perspective paper is to discuss the role of empirical research in understanding the complex forms of governance in agribusiness. The authors argue that there are three fundamental levels of analysis: (i) the basic structure of the market, (ii) the formal contractual arrangements that govern relations within the agroindustrial system and (iii) the transactional dimensions governed by non-contractual means. The case of the agrochemical industry in Brazil illustrates how traditional analyses that only address market structure are insufficient to fully explain the agricultural sector and its supply chain.
