In France, some farmers have taken up the call to subscribe to environmental protection in their professional activity. Integrated farm management tries to reconcile the concept of maximising profits with the social demands that activities be ecologically sound. Small farmers seek solutions to...

Biofortification is a promising strategy to reduce the persisting micronutrient deficiency. Biofortifying wheat grains has the potential to alleviate malnutrition as it is one of the major staple crops. In this study, we examine the research progress and impact of agronomic and genetic efforts...

We study the effects of the adoption of new agricultural technologies on structural transformation. To guide empirical work, we present a simple model where the effect of agricultural productivity on industrial development depends on the factor bias of technical change. We test the predictions...

Inclusion of women in scientific and technological endeavors and realizing women's intellectual potential is a big challenge as they play a decisive role in many facets of agricultural sector in India. Self-help groups (SHGs) have emerged as an effective mechanism for empowerment through group...

Some entry barriers in agricultural and agro-processing value chains, particularly for smallholder farmers and small/medium-sized processors, can be overcome with innovation and technology adoption. Technologies and innovation in these sectors have been both radical and incremental, ranging...

Argentina cuenta con una gran cantidad de recursos naturales, especialmente los ligados al complejo oleaginoso. Los cambios en la demanda mundial y en los procesos de producción han dado lugar a la conformación de un complejo productivo en torno a ellos, el cual se encuentra en su etapa...

Nanotechnology is becoming increasingly important for the food sector, and advances and products are already being made in the areas of food packaging and food safety. However, there are several potential issues associated with the commercialization of agricultural and food (agrifood)...

The article presents estimates of perspective sources for technology borrowing in cereal cultivation industry for Russian regions. Estimates are based on technological ranking which is derived from cereal yield model using Solow residual methodology. The model uses cross-section averaged...

This paper examines technology adoption and integrated pest management strategies employed by UK farmers, using both parametric and nonparametric methods. We employ a unique survey data set collected from UK cereal farmers to assess the determinants of technology adoption in relation to pest...
