Medium-scale livestock farms in Asia’s rapidly transforming food systems por Ebata, Ayako, Belton, Ben

“…In this article, we draw attention to the role and distinct characteristics of medium-scale monogastric livestock farms in the Global South, drawing on an empirically grounded typology of scale that incorporates three linked components: (1) Social and economic organization of production; (2) Technological choice and environmental impacts, and; (3) Food system linkages and spillovers. …”

Crucial determinants of adoption: material systems for banana and maize por Smale, Melinda, Kikulwe, Enoch, Edmeades, Svetlana, de Groote, Hugo, Byabachwezi, Mgenzi, Nkuba, Jackson

“…Trait-based genetic change is broadly defined as the selection of traits for insertion and the choice of background planting material. For the technology to materialize, growers must perceive the yield advantages of the inserted traits. …”

Food consumption and nutritional effects of consumer-oriented food subsidies por Kumar, Shubh K., Alderman, Harold

“…Third, although food security may be the overriding concern in the majority of consumer food subsidy programs, the choice of commodities often includes nonbasic food items, such as sugar, and nonfood items, such as kerosene, tea, salt, and soap, which have also been considered essential commodities and therefore were included in the subsidy.…”

Responses of rice flatsedge (Cyperus iria) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) to rice interference por Chauhan, Bhagirath S., Johnson, David E.

“…Developing integrated weed management strategies that elevate suppression of weeds by rice through crop density, nutrition, and cultivar choice requires better understanding of the extent to which rice interferes with the growth of these weeds and how these species respond to resource limitation with crop interference. …”

Adoption of postharvest innovations to minimize tomato losses in Nigeria por Yami, M., Liverpool-Tasie, L.S.O., Olaoye, I., Assfaw Wossen, T., Feleke, S., Abdoulaye, T.

“…This study investigates the adoption of postharvest packaging technologies (PHPTs), focusing on reusable plastic crates (RPCs) for tomato harvesting and marketing, and examines farmers’ adoption decisions with market channel choices. Using a dataset of 1,704 tomato farmers, we address the potential endogeneity between RPCs adoption and the choice of market channels through a recursive bivariate probit model. …”

Core components of the international forest regime complex por Angelsen, A., Appelstrand, M., Assembe-Mvondo, Samuel, Auld, G., Hogl, K., Humphreys, D., Wildburger, C.

“…The first (consistency assessment) uses a policy design approach to match the core omponents with their goals, policy tools, target group preferences and justifications for the choice of goals and policy tools. The second (compatibility assessment) examines the institutional inter-linkages of the core components. …”

Agent-based spatial models applied to agriculture: a simulation tool for technology diffusion, resource use changes and policy analysis por Berger, T.

“…Unlike conventional simulation tools used in agricultural economics, the model class described here applies a multi‐agent/cellular automata (CA) approach by using heterogeneous farm‐household models and capturing their social and spatial interactions explicitly. The individual choice of the farm‐household among available production, consumption, investment and marketing alternatives is represented in recursive linear programming models. …”

Comparison between comparative tuberculin and gamma-interferon tests for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia por Ameni, G., Miorner, H., Roger, F., Tibbo, Markos

“…On the basis of this preliminary investigation, it was concluded that the choice between the two tests depends on their cost and simplicity and on livestock management and time factors rather than on their respective diagnostic value.…”

Anicut systems in Sri Lanka: the case of the upper Walawe River Basin [Sri Lanka]. por Molle, Francois, Jayakody, Priyantha, Silva, S. de

“…The study does not allow the reconstitution of all past transformations but offers some insight on recent changes: changes in population pressure over resources and changes in hydrology, crop choice, livelihoods and collective action. The analysis is based on exploratory surveys carried out by the authors and by students of the University of Sabaragamuwa and is not a detailed or in-depth investigation of agricultural systems in the Upper Walawe basin. …”

Trends and yield constraints in the production systems of beans and cassava in Latin America with emphasis on research design implications por Sanders, J.H., Lynam, John K.

“…In the evolution of crop technologies, the consequences new technologies may have on income distribution are discussed; cassava and beans are essentially produced by small farmers outside prime agricultural areas. The choice of breeding strategy that involves the relationship among several disciplines is also analyzed and it is noted that the different constraints and the different crop characteristics require different strategies for cassava and beans to produce the same output, a stable high- yielding var. not dependent on high levels of purchased inputs. …”
