Agricultural transformation and market innovation: Theory, concepts, and definitions by International Food Policy Research Institute

“…The structural transformation where the share of agriculture in gross domestic product (GDP) and employment declines as per capita income rises is well documented. Classical theorists, led by Lewis (1954), viewed economic development as a growth process of relocating factors of production from an agricultural sector characterized by low productivity and the use of traditional technology to a modern industrial sector with higher productivity. …”

New institutional economics: applications for agricultural policy research in developing countries by Kherallah, Mylene, Maluccio, John A., McCarthy, Nancy

“…As a dynamic and relatively new school of thought, the new institutional economics offers exciting opportunities to answer some of the economic problems that neo-classical economics has found difficult to address.…”

Ecological risks of novel environmental crop technologies using phytoremediation as an example by Angle, J. Scott, Linacre, Nicholas A.

“…Phytoremediation is the use of living plants, known as hyperaccumulators which absorb unusually large amounts of metals in comparison to other plants. The use of classical plant breeding and new molecular techniques offers great potential to develop crops with the ability to clean up polluted sites. …”

Modeling Avena fatua seedling emergence dynamics: an artificial neural network approach by Chantre Balacca, Guillermo Ruben, Blanco, Anibal Manuel, Lodovichi, Mariela Victoria, Bandoni, Jose Alberto, Sabbatini, Mario Ricardo, Lopez, Ricardo Luis, Vigna, Mario Raul, Gigon, Ramon

“…It is also demonstrated that the use of thermal-time and hydro-time as independent explanatory variables in ANN models yields better prediction than using combined hydrothermal-time indices in classical NLR models. The best obtained ANN model outperformed in 43.3% the best NLR model in terms of RMSE of the test set. …”

Opportunities and issues for biometry in a rapidly changing environment by Nokoe, S., Ojurongbe, T., Bamiduro, T.

“…Changes in the environment demand changes in the practice of biometry. Classical on-station researcher-managed trials and associated assumptions are restricted in scope, and are getting old-&shinned. …”

Importance of biological control for tropical Africa by Neuenschwander, Peter

“…It is against this latter group that the introduction of adapted predators from the region of origin, so-called classical biological control, offers most promise. …”

Age-structured population growth rates in constant and variable environments: a near equilibrium approach by Dewi, S., Chesson, P.

“…These techniques provide simple quantitative representations of the classical findings that, with fixed expected lifetime and net reproductive rate, type I mortality and early peak reproduction increase in the absolute magnitude of the population growth rate, while type III mortality and delayed peak reproduction reduce this absolute magnitude.…”

Between market failure, policy failure and "community failure": property rights, crop-livestock conflicts and the adoption of sustainable land use practices in the dry zone of Sri... by Birner, Regina, Gunaweera, Hasantha

“…The paper considers crop damages as an externality problem and shows that the classical solutions to externalities - the neo-liberal, the interventionist solution and the communitarian solution - cannot be applied in the Sri Lankan case due to market failure, government failure and "community failure." …”
