| ABSTRACT: This study to present information from literature about evaluation of social programs, which were used later on to evaluate the Pronaf (a credit line for small farmers implemented by the Brazilian Federal Government) in Paraiba state. Several approaches about the evolution logic models were identified, in which data and information are gathered through tables or input lists, activities, products, results, in which was verified the recommendation of quasi-experimentation design, with control group, to isolate results of the specific program. Moreover, concepts related to hard indexes and perception data were also presented to facilitate visualization of how determined variable criterion occurs in the real world, i. e., how e perception data can be... |

| O consorciamento entre as culturas de milho e caupi é prática cultural tradicionalmente difundida entre pequenos agricultores do Norte e Nordeste do país. No Estado do Acre esta prática é adotada, predominantemente, por pequenos agricultores que realizam seus plantios nas várzeas dos rios, quando o volume das águas diminui. Na associação, a cultura principal é o caupi, tendo em vista que o milho plantado neste período é utilizado praticamente para consumo, na forma de milho verde. Em áreas de terra firme, o cultivo associado é pouco utilizado. Assim, a pesquisa desenvolvida no campo experimental da Embrapa Acre, entre 1994 e 1996, possibilitou avaliar a consorciação entre milho e caupi em áreas de terra firme na região de Rio Branco. |

| Estudo sendo desenvolvido com o proposito de testar um modelo de pesquisa e desenvolvimento rural que possa ser aplicado aos pequenos produtores de uma area de colonizacao no ecossistema de terra fime da Amazonia ocidental, com o objetivo de melhorar o nivel tecnico e economico dos sistemas de uso da terra, contribuindo para a diversificacao da producao, garantia de alimentos para a familia, uso sustentavel do solo e, consequente, aumento da renda. Os resultados preliminares, com relacao ao sistemas de uso da terra implantados, sao bastantes promissores nao apenas pela aceitacao por parte dos produtores, mas tambem pela produtividade obtida, comparados aos sistemas tradicionais. |

| A descriptive analysis and a survey of literature were used in this assessment of the transformation of the structure of production agriculture. The changes in production agriculture have important implications for resource use, population distribution in rural communities, and the survival of small farms. The shifting structural change in production agriculture as a response to economic and technological adjustments is not a temporary phenomenon. The economic and natural base of agriculture will change toward greater capital intensity and concentration of ownership, and will raise public policy questions in relation to the survival of a large farm population. |

| The objective of this research is to determine the marginal value of attributes to consumers with respect to natural beef or beef produced with organic grains. A hedonic model is used to value attributes of 11 different primal cuts. Results suggest that producers under this particular natural/implant-free marketing alliance should market high-yielding animals rather than high-quality grading animals. Consumers of this beef value taste, as measured by dry aging, and leanness, as measured by USDA Select grade. The economic magnitudes of the variables under a producer's control were small relative to those that could be controlled by a processor. |

| The paper extends the household hedonic model, as a non-market valuation tool, by estimating a supply function for variety attributes of a subsistence crop in a developing country. The model is applied to bananas in Uganda, making use of disaggregated data on variety-specific farm-gate banana bunch prices and attributes. The hedonic analysis is applied at the farm-gate, the first link in the market chain, while accounting for the semi-subsistence nature of banana producing households. Within the framework of the agricultural household, where consumption and production decisions are non-separable, prices reflect the implicit marginal valuation of both consumption and production attributes jointly. The paper is motivated by the need to quantify the value of... |

| This study was conducted to gain an understanding of how small-scale farmers in Mbeya District have adopted improved wheat technologies promoted by the wheat research program at MARTI-Uyole. The specific objectives were to assess farmers’ wheat management practices, determine the technical and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of improved wheat technologies, and draw implications for research, extension, and policy. A purposive multistage sampling procedure was used to select 202 farmers, 160 from Tembela Division and 42 from Isangati Division, which are two important wheat-growing areas in Mbeya District. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires and supplemented by secondary information obtained from MARTI-Uyole. Juhudi was... |

| U.S. farms are diverse, ranging from small retirement and residential farms to enterprises with annual sales in the millions. Nevertheless, most U.S. farms—98 percent in 2004—are family farms. Even the largest farms tend to be family farms. Large-scale family farms and nonfamily farms account for 10 percent of U.S farms, but 75 percent of the value of production. In contrast, small family farms make up most of the U.S. farm count, produce a modest share of farm output, and receive substantial off-farm income. Many farm households have a large net worth, reflecting the land-intensive nature of farming. |

| The holding of a seminar on the future for ‘small farms’ requires us to consider what is meant by a ‘small farm’. This is not as straightforward as might be imagined. It presupposes an unambiguous definition of what constitutes ‘a farm’ and a means of distinguishing those farms which are considered to be ‘small’ from the remainder of other farms, that is larger farms. This in turn presupposes an accepted measure of farm size (or amalgam of such measures) and adoption of an agreed size threshold below which farms might be described as ‘small’. However the choices in respect of measure of farm size and threshold for a farm being considered as ‘small’ may depend, respectively, on the particular policy context (for example, contribution to output or employment... |

| We use two comprehensive and representative USDA databases to assess the performance of small farms in the U.S. Farm production is shifting to much larger farms, and the number of small commercial farms is declining. Most large U.S. farms remain family-owned and operated enterprises, and most remain small businesses by U.S. standards. Small commercial farms tend to focus on three commodities: beef cattle, grains and oilseeds, and poultry. On average, large farm financial returns substantially exceed those on small farms, but the range of performance among small farms is quite wide. About one quarter of the nearly 800,000 small commercial farms show very good financial returns. |
