Abstract:
... In conventional food systems, there are often large social and geographical distances between production and consumption. Alternative food networks (AFNs) like relationship coffee models aim to shorten these distances through direct contacts, communication, trust, transparency or commitment to improve farmers’ livelihoods. These relationship coffee models appear in diverse shapes with various impl ...

Abstract:
... Research for development (R4D) projects increasingly engage in multi-stakeholder innovation platforms (IPs) as an innovation methodology, but there is limited knowledge of how the IP methodology spreads from one context to another. That is, how experimentation with an IP approach in one context leads to it being succesfully replicated in other contexts. To inspire development actors to consider th ...

Abstract:
... In this paper we have presented a novel approach to predict dissolved oxygen in prawn ponds. It is necessary to maintain dissolved oxygen above a certain level in the ponds for expected growth and survival of the prawns. An accurate prediction of dissolved oxygen can assist farmers to take necessary measures to maintain dissolved oxygen levels ideal for prawn growth. Existing approaches to dissolv ...

Abstract:
... When public administrations promote agroecological transition processes there is a risk that these be conventionalized and co-opted. However there is a notable lack of research on the adoption of participatory approaches to processes of agroecological transition, especially in larger territories. This article analyzes two case studies in which territorial Action Plans for agroecological transition ...

Abstract:
... The number of farmer cooperatives in the United States is declining, but empirical investigations of cooperative firm survival have been scarce. With demographic, financial, and strategic characteristics as possible explanations, we conduct survival analysis in relation to 950 U.S. farmers cooperatives for the 2005–2018 period. Following the results of our Cox proportional hazard regressions, we f ...

Understanding the drivers of farmer behaviour and the choices they make with regards to AESs is important as this aids policy makers in creating schemes that have a wider scope and are more likely to achieve environmental goals. Past studies have identified the importance o ...
