Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores how satellite data can be used to deepen our understanding of the corn and soybean production system in the US Midwest. One of the major characteristics of the Corn Belt is that corn and soybeans are grow in rotation, alternating crops from year to year. Rotation practices are however not very well captured by currently available data. On one side, official statistics provide a wide coverage, yet contain only information on average yield or total area, not on the share of fields under rotation. Likewise, data from experimental fields gives very precise information on potential benefits of rotation, yet are confined to a very small number of fields. Satellite data offers an interesting middle ground, providing data at the field level at a very large scale, over a long time horizon. The dataset I assemble for this study contains ten years of crop choice, yield, weather and prices data for close to two million fields in 9 states. Using this dataset, I make three main contributions. The main contribution addresses the question of aggregation of yield response to prices. Price increases typically lead to yield increases, yet also to an extension of cultivated area. If the new area is however of lower productivity, the price increase also leads to a larger number of fields having lower yield, which tends to reduce average yields. I show that this is the case, finding that an analysis at the county level underestimates the yield elasticity compared to an analysis at the field level, using satellite date. The second contribution from the dataset is to highlight several stylized facts that have received less attention in the literature. I document for example a positive correlation between a field's potential for corn and for soybean yields. This finding explains well the fact that many fields in my sample are found to be constantly in rotation. I show finally that there is a tendency to plant more often corn on fields with higher fertility, while low fertility soils tend to be planted to soybeans. The third contribution of my thesis is to suggest new methods to estimate the rotation effect. I discuss how neglecting the fact that better fields are more often planted to corn can lead to a strong underestimation of the rotation effect. This call for different types of estimators, based on plot fixed-effects exploiting within-plot variation. The standard difference-in-difference method can however not be applied in the case of rotation, and I discuss how to adapt this strategy to the rotation case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982. Until the nineteenth-century the history of agriculture was the history of mankind but it has not perhaps received the wide attention that this importance justifies. In this study, the author reviews for the student of agricultural history successive attempts to describe and explain agricultural changes that are not specific to a limited area or a particular time. In a sense The Dynamics of Agricultural Change is a systematic historical geography of agriculture. Some of the models the author explores have been developed within agricultural history; some, drawn from other disciplines, can be applied fruitfully to it. What is the relationship between population growth and agricultural development? Between environmental changes and those in agriculture? What was the effect of the industrial revolution? And has there been an agricultural revolution? This book suggests to university students of economic history, historical geography and agriculture, a number of stimulating ways of interpreting and reinterpreting agricultural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Companies in food- and agribusiness chains and networks are facing ever-faster changes in the business environment, to which they must respond through continuous innovation. Societal concerns regarding animal welfare and environmental issues have to be met in a very competitive, increasingly global environment. The growing concern of consumers regarding the quality, traceability and environmental friendliness of products and processes call for fundamentally new ways of developing, producing and marketing products. New ways of organizing food supply networks, with new ties between firms and even between formerly separate sectors -such as the health and the food sector- are needed to cope with these new demands. This publication focusses on the dynamic response to these changes in chains and networks. Important topics include among others: critical success factors for design and control of innovative chains and networks, globalization of the business environment, effects of institutional and policy change, governance structures, technologies for managing interaction and design of information architectures for chains and networks."

This book was released on 2008 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a restricted version of the BEKK model we test an implication of the theory of storage that supply-and-demand fundamentals affect the price dynamics of agricultural commodities. The commodities under analysis are corn and wheat. An interest-storage-adjusted-spread was used as a proxy variable for supply-and-demand fundamentals to test the aforementioned implication for both commodities. We also test the Samuelson hypothesis that spot prices have higher volatility than futures prices. We found that the interest-storage-adjusted-spread has had a statistically significant positive influence on the spot and futures returns for both commodities. Likewise, the results also show that spot price returns have higher volatility compared to futures price returns which is consistent with the Samuelson hypothesis. The results of the aforementioned tests are consistent with both theories and with the existing literature related to commodity futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses recent developments in the analysis of agricultural policy and water resource management, and highlights the utility and theoretical rigor of quantitative methods for modeling agricultural production, market dynamics, and natural resource management. In diverse case studies of the intersection between agriculture, environmental quality and natural resource sustainability, the authors analyze economic behavior - both at aggregate as well as at individual agent-level - in order to highlight the practical implications for decision-markers dealing with environmental and agricultural policy. The volume also addresses the challenges of doing robust analysis with limited data, and discusses the appropriate empirical approaches that can be employed. The studies in this book were inspired by the work of Richard E. Howitt, Emeritus Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of California at Davis, USA, whose career has focused on the application of robust empirical methods to address concrete policy problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethiopia has experienced a historically unprecedented increase in inflation, mainly driven by cereal price inflation, which is among the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using monthly data from the past decade, the authors estimate error correction models to identify the relative importance of several factors contributing to overall inflation and its three major components, cereal prices, food prices, and non-food prices. The main finding is that, in a longer perspective, over three to four years, the main factors that determine domestic food and non-food prices are the exchange rate and international food and goods prices. In the short run, agricultural supply shocks and inflation inertia strongly affect domestic inflation, causing large deviations from long-run price trends. Money supply growth does affect food price inflation in the short run, although the money stock itself does not seem to drive inflation. The results suggest the need for a multi-pronged approach to fight inflation. Forecast scenarios suggest monetary and exchange rate policies need to take into account cereal production, which is among the key determinants of inflation, assuming a decline in global commodity prices. Implementation of successful policies will be contingent on the availability of foreign exchange and the performance of agriculture.
