It is critical to analyze the performance of enterprises to achieve sustainable agricultural development. Several studies have been conducted to assess farm performance. However, the studies have been criticized for failing to account for farm heterogeneity (which is frequently unobserved) in...

The purpose of this article is to study the tax sustainability of agricultural companies in Ukraine. This article developed the following working hypotheses, which were derived from the main purpose of the study. The methodology for the assessment of tax sustainability has been improved due to...

The UN Food Systems Summit 2021 was different from all six previous food summits held in the past eight decades. New features of this Summit included the fact that it was anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals, focused on food systems, was based on multi-stakeholder engagement, had a...

International trade has created more economic growth opportunities in the agriculture sector. The agricultural sector remains key to the South African economy, with a vibrant international market becoming available as the country's agriculture exports grow. However, the impacts of human-caused...

Lack of credit for farming is one of the main obstacles that poor Thai farmers face. Most agricultural credits from commercial banks are given to large agricultural businesses thus leaving out poor farmers who consequently have to borrow from informal sources with high interest rates. The Bank...

In order to have economically sustainable and profitable farms, farmers need to manage and understand factors that impact farm output and costs. Many factors can influence farms' output and costs, such as soil quality, environmental conditions, farm size, farm system, farmers' experience, and so...

This study assesses how information about environmental goods provision can contribute to an integrative food labelling framework within the European Unions’ Farm to Fork Strategy. By applying Q-methodology with 43 food industry experts from four European member states, we identify common...

The standard approach to ‘nowcast’ disaster impacts, which relies on risk models, does not typically account for the compounding impact of various hazard phenomena (e.g., wind and rainfall associated with tropical storms). The alternative, traditionally, has been a team of experts sent to...

Agricultural activities immensely contribute to methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. This study investigates the heterogeneous effect of agricultural activities on three major greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions (CO 2 , N 2 O, and CH 4 ) under the...

I analyse the role of geographical, cognitive, and social proximity in the decision to adopt organic farming in Sweden, using longitudinal data, including an experimental approach, and making use of the variation over time of farms’ exposure to early adopters in the neighbourhood. I find that...

The agri-food industry worldwide generates a large volume of waste annually, which causes both environmental and economic problems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of agri-food waste and byproducts to produce alternative, self-sufficient fish feed. This review aimed to...

Uncertainty in quality and the inspectors’ imperfect testing capability leave agricultural products (e.g., fresh produce, seafood, and livestock, etc.) wide open to economically motivated adulteration (EMA), and the strong demand for online shopping of these products in China makes this...

One of the greatest challenges imposed on society is the need for a new way of acting and thinking about economic and social development to enhance sustainability and embrace environmental causes. The principles of bioeconomy encourage the rational use of recyclable nutrients and the...

Uganda’s climate is changing in terms of rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, leading to extreme meteorological conditions such as prolonged drought, floods and landslides, yet the majority (68 percent) of Ugandans largely rely on rain fed agriculture, which can easily be...

The latest generation of global climate models robustly projects that the summer monsoon rainfall in India will significantly increase in the 21st century due to global warming. This raises the question of the impact of these changes on the agricultural yield. Based on annual district data for...

We provide evidence of how technological progress affects greenhouse gas emissions. Using a dynamic difference-in-differences design, we show that producers in Brazilian localities with high suitability for genetically engineered seeds increase crop output by substituting away from...

In the wake of increased domestic and foreign entity rush for land in Africa, rural households remained the marginalized group in terms of access. Consequently, household’s farm investment decisions are affected. Arresting such situation calls for study of the factors driving households’...

When the production or use of a product imposes a cost on a third party, this is referred to as a negative external cost. Negative external costs of pesticides are associated with social costs. However, there is still a lack of a systematic method for evaluating and internalize negative external...

On the basis of a literature review, this paper outlines the main mitigation options for agricultural activities and the broader food system on the supply and the demand side. Economic, policy/legal barriers, technical barriers, socio-cultural barriers, institutional barriers as well as...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights the importance of reaching net-zero CO2 emissions globally by 2050. Unlocking the potential of natural climate solutions in the strive for net-zero emissions is increasingly gaining attention. A large potential may arise from the...

Crop diversification is a farm level strategy to augment income, improve food security, and mitigate risks attributable to climate and market shocks. We use three-waves (2011/12 to 2016/17) of nationally representative repeated cross section surveys to study the impact of crop diversification on...

There are formal and informal sources of finance for accessing of funds for improving agricultural production by women farmers in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. But accessing of the funds from some of the sources are hindered by conditionalities difficult to satisfy leaving the women with the...

The models for regulating the volume of grain sales for export have been evaluated. Tendencies of price relations and price mechanism of internal market of agrarian products have been analyzed. There have been worked out the theoretical and methodological provisions of regulating the foreign...

The present volume is the collection of the conference papers presented on The 12th International Symposium Agricultural economics and rural development. Realities and perspectives for Romania, organized by The Research Institute for Agrarian Economy and Rural Development during 17 November 2021...

The latest generation of global climate models robustly projects that the summer monsoon rainfall in India will significantly increase in the 21st century due to global warming and that rainfall anomalies will occur more often. This raises the question of the impact of these changes on the...
