Download or read book Farm Level Modelling written by Shailesh Shrestha and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is the product of a complex mixture of behavioural, biophysical and market drivers. Understanding how these factors interact to produce crops and livestock for food has been the focus of economic investigation for many years. The advent of optimisation algorithms and the exponential growth in computing technology has allowed significant growth in mathematical modelling of the dynamics of agricultural systems. The complexity of approaches has grown in parallel with the availability of data at increasingly finer resolutions. Farm-level models have been widely used in agricultural economic studies to understand how farmers and land owners respond to market and policy levers. This book provides an in-depth description of different methodologies and techniques currently used in farm-level modelling. While giving an overview of the theoretical grounding behind the models, an applied approach is also used. Case studies range from the application of modelling to policy reforms and the subsequent impacts on rural communities and food supply. This book also provides descriptions of the use of farm-level models in much wider fields such as aggregation and linking with sectoral models. Its purpose is to show the reader the methods that have been employed to inform decision-makers about how to improve the economic, social and environmental goals required to achieve the aims of multidimensional policy.

Download or read book Improving the resilience of the agricultural sector to external shocks written by Upali Wickramasinghe, G.A., Adeeth Cariappa, A.G. and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a quantitative assessment of the Indian dairy sector and aims to determine the underlying factors of the observed price movements. We analyse producer prices over time, differentiated by milk-producing ‘zones,’ and identify the underlying factors that might explain the observed discontinuities or interruptions in producer prices. The findings show no statistically significant change in wholesale milk prices immediately after the sudden lockdown was imposed in the five milk zones. However, retail prices increased in the East zone, while dairy product sales plummeted in all milk production zones. The study found disruption in milk marketing channels, logistics and transportation in the East milk zone, where the cooperative institutional structure is less widespread and active than in other zones. The East zone also has a thinly spread dairy infrastructure such as cold chains, exposing producers to market vagaries. The analysis confirms that the decision of the dairy cooperatives to continue to pay milk producers even when sales plummeted played a critical role in strengthening the resilience of India’s dairy sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings show that building strong institutional infrastructure such as dairy cooperatives is necessary but insufficient for sustaining market resilience. Dairy processors need resources for assuming higher risks while relaxing certain regulations such as labour movements and enhancing access to essential inputs for maintaining production. It is crucial to provide government assistance for those who fail to use market channels for reasons beyond their control.

Download or read book Efficiency Measures in the Agricultural Sector written by Armando Mendes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors draw on a 3-year project that analyzed a Portuguese area in detail, comparing this study with papers from other regions. Applications include the estimation of technical efficiency in agricultural grazing systems (dairy, beef and mixed) and specifically for dairy farms. The conclusions indicate that it is now necessary to help small dairy farms in order to make them more efficient. These results can be compared with the technical efficiency of a sample of Spanish dairy processing firms presented by Magdalena Kapelko and co-authors.

The result is an agricultural economics textbook that provides students and instructors with a clear, up-to-date, and straightforward approach to learning how a market-based economy functions, and how to use simple economic principles for improved decision making. While the primary focus of the book is on microeconomic aspects, agricultural economics has expanded over recent decades to include issues of macroeconomics, international trade, agribusiness, environmental economics, natural resources, and international development. Hence, these topics are also provided with significant coverage.
Download or read book An Economic Assessment of Banana Genetic Improvement and Innovation in the Lake Victoria Region of Uganda and Tanzania written by Melinda Smale and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the impact on smallholder farmers of technology options developed by Uganda's National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) to improve the productivity of the East African highland banana, a major crop in Uganda and Tanzania. The contributors survey an array of options either currently practiced or under development, including improved soil fertility management practices, conventional banana improvement, and transgenic banana cultivars. Their survey produces a number of findings with important implications for banana production: a recently developed banana hybrid adopted in Tanzania reduced the vulnerability of Tanzanian households to yield losses from pests and disease; a strong network of social ties among farmers facilitates the spread of best soil fertility management practices through farmer-to-farmer exchange; and transgenic bananas currently being developed could have pro-poor impact. Drawing on simulations of the economic benefits of these and other technology options, the contributors conclude that the current strategy endorsed by NARO, of combining conventional and transgenic approaches to mitigate the biotic pressures that cause major economic losses, is essential for sustaining banana production systems. The report serves as a valuable baseline for researchers and others interested in measuring the effectiveness of crop improvement programs.
