Building Viable and Sustainable Regional Netchains: Case Studies of Regional Pork Netchains in Spain, Germany, and The Netherlands

Nijhoff-Savvaki, Rannia; Trienekens, Jacques H.; Omta, … - In: International Journal on Food System Dynamics 03 (2012) 1

The present paper aims to give insight into critical issues contributing to the successful building of viable and sustainable regional netchains, focussing on chain governance mechanisms (coordination mechanisms, quality management systems, information systems) and social embedding. It uses...

Forecasts and Adaptation

Shrader, Jeffrey - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014

For many environmental problems, economics adaptation will likely be the primary means by which potential damages are avoided. How and by how much humans adapt to environmental risks, therefore, is a question of paramount importance. This paper uses a novel dataset documenting the introduction...

DYNAMICS AND UNCERTAINTY IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT UNDER SCARCITY: THE CASE OF IRRIGATION

Bontemps, Christophe; Couture, Stephane - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999

The objective of this paper is to study the problem of management of irrigation water. We analyse farmers' economic rules of tactical irrigation scheduling in a certain or uncertain environment under water scarcity. The optimal plans depend on uncertain weather conditions and expectations. We...

TOWARDS MEASURING PRODUCER WELFARE UNDER OUTPUT PRICE UNCERTAINTY AND RISK NON-NEUTRALITY

Bullock, David S.; Shin, Kie-Yup; Garcia, Philip - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999

We combine theory with numerical integration methods to show that for any form of uncompensated supply, compensating variation of a change in higher moments of an output price distribution can be numerically derived.

Analysing impacts of changing price variability with estimated farm risk-programming models

Jansson, Torbjörn; Heckelei, Thomas; Gocht, Alexander; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

We formulate and estimate a farm level simulation model of agricultural crop production, and apply it to a scenario with increasing yield variability. The objective function is of the mean-variance utility type with a positive mathematical programming (PMP) cost function, and it is estimated...
