Inputs use in the agriculture of Emilia-Romagna: farm comparison through the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index
Ghelfi, Rino; Bertazzoli, Aldo; Marchi, Alan; Rivaroli, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
perspective, the analysts concentrate their attention on the total factor productivity index (TFP). In this view, Lynam and Herdt … (1989) proposed the TFP as a suitable assessment of the sustainability of single crops, of cropping systems or of farming … systems. Even if the TFP does not take into account the non-market output (social and environmental aspects), it is possible …

Application of Fuzzy Sets within Measuring and Managing certain Agricultural Risks
Sedlak, Otilija; Kocic Vugdelija, Vesna - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
The aim of this paper is to set-up the algorithm for determining the degree of workability of the soil, to help the owners of family farms to plan working hours of agricultural machines, i.e. with the machine park management. The plans, which would be made by use of these algorithms and based on...
