Full textThe remote sensing technology is increasingly being used to study land use and vegetation cover changes and identify changes that has occur through different land use activities which may have negative impact on the sustainability of the environment, biodiversity protection and conservation. With increase in population growth rate in Sudan, there has been an increase for food crop production with agriculture playing a prominent role in livelihood security for the increasing population.
The increase use of irrigation and mechanisation has brought about an increase in demand for agricultural land use in Sudan with the conversion of other land use types and vegetation for agricultural land use. This does have effect and impact on the vegetation and environment with the country highly exposed to the incidence of environmental and social hazards and disasters including drought and desertification, deforestations, floods, loss of biodiversity, ethnic conflicts and poverty.
The research study work focused on agricultural land use changes in the country with the aim of investigating the agricultural land use changes that has occurred in the country from 1986 to 2002 using the remote sensing technique. This is important for agricultural land use planning and sustainability monitoring to reduce the negative impact of agricultural land use for crop production and increase long term resource use and environmental sustainability. Two remote sensing methods were used for the classification analysis to identify the land use changes namely the NDVI and the parallelepiped classification techniques. The NDVI method was used to identify the changes in the agricultural land use vegetation cover classes and determine the magnitude of changes in land area use that has occurred from 1986 to 2002 when the former and latter remote sensing images were acquired. The parallelepiped classification technique was however used to identify the aggregate agricultural land use changes in the area of study and conversion to and from other categories of land use. A qualitative analytic technique was also used to identify the possible causes of the changes that have occurred in Sudan in the study period using empirical materials.
The research study result gives information on the role the remote sensing technology can play in analyzing land use cover changes for agricultural land use sustainability monitoring.

Land accounts for more than 75% of a farm operation’s total assets and thus knowledge of land values are very important to landowners. However, many other parties, including lenders, appraisers, investors, and researchers also have significant interest in land markets. Over the past few decades, land prices in Kansas have increased significantly for many different reasons. The main objective of this research is to estimate the impact of various factors on Kansas land values using a hedonic regression model. In cooperation with the Property Valuation Department (PVD) of the Kansas Department of Revenue, farmland market transactions from 1986 to 2009 were obtained for this study. Hedonic models were estimated using Ordinary Least Squares to determine the impact of interest rates, urban areas, location, parcel size, and income on nominal and real Kansas land values. The estimated nominal and real models explained 24.1% and 17.2% of the variation in land prices, respectively, and the results from this study are generally consistent with previous research. This research went further into investigating the relationship between PVD data and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) surveyed data. Results from this study indicate that USDA surveys significantly underestimate the true market for land prices across Kansas.

Full textAgriculture has been the backbone of the economy in Nigeria providing employment and source of livelihood for the increasing population and accounting for over half of the GDP of the Nigeria economy at independence in 1960. However, the role it plays in the regional and economic development of the country has diminished over the years due to the dominant role of the crude oil sector in the economy. With the increasing food demand in Nigeria, the country has available input natural resources and potential for increasing the volume of crop production towards meeting the food and nutritional requirement of the rapidly increasing population and guarantee food security in the country. The study was undertaken to analyse the effect of different factors and policies on the changes in trend of crop production and investigate the possible effect of water resources development on increased volume of agricultural crop production in Nigeria.
The study revealed that there are opportunities for water resources development in the country through irrigation to supplement the water requirements and needs of farmers for agricultural production activities in many areas in the semi-arid and arid regions. Available data shows that there are available land and water resources that could be developed to support the production of food and agricultural development with opportunity for increased productivity.
However, while the water resources are unevenly distributed in the country, there is need for the efficient use and management of the available water resources and increasing the productive use especially in the northern region of the country where there is increasing incidence of drought and competing need for water among the different sectors of the economy. The study also made possible recommendations for policy formulation to address the current problems facing the agricultural sector in conjunction with the requirement for the development of the water resources.

Full textA tese intitulada "Ensaios Econometricos sobre a dinÃmica do Pib AgrÃcola" à composta de trÃs artigos. O primeiro artifo à intitulado "Setor AgrÃcola Brasileiro: Uma anÃlise de ConvergÃncia Microregional" analise o processo de convergÃncia microregional agrÃcola utilizando o Modelo Threshold no perÃodo de 1970 a 1996. Os resultados mostraram a existÃncia de cinco clubes de convergÃncia; um com um grupo de microregiÃes mais ricas, um com um grupo de microregiÃes mais pobres e trÃs grupos intermediÃrios. Os resultados tambÃm mostraram que o capital fÃsico à mais importante que o capital humano na explicaÃÃo do processo de crescimento. O segundo artigo intitulado: "O Setor AgrÃcola Brasileiro: Uma aplicaÃÃo do Modelo de TendÃncias e Ciclos Comuns no perÃodo de 1990 a 2005", analisa o comportamento das variaveis produto agrÃcola, taxa de cÃmbio real e saldo da balanÃa comercial agrÃcola brasileira. Utilizou-se a tÃcnica de cointegraÃÃo para identificar um sistema de vetores auto-regressivos com tendÃncias estocÃsticas comuns e para investigar as respostas do sistema a choques transitÃrios e permanentes. Os testes comprovaram a existÃncia de uma tendÃncia estocÃstica comum e dois ciclos comuns entre as variÃveis. As decomposiÃÃes das variÃncias indicam que os choques transitÃrios explicam a maior parte das flutuaÃÃes de curto e longo prazo no produto agrÃcola. Constatou-se tambÃm que os choques permanentes sÃo mais importantes para explicar as variÃncias da taxa de cÃmbio e da balanÃa comercial agrÃcola, principalmente no longo prazo. O terceiro artigo intitulado: "PrevisÃo da Taxa de Crescimento do Produto AgrÃcola Brasileiro: Uma aplicaÃÃo de Modelos de Ãndice de DifusÃo Linear e NÃo Linear" aplica os modelos linear e nÃo linear de Ãndice de difusÃo com efeito threshold para prever, um perÃodo à frente, a taxa de crescimento trimestral do Pib agrÃcola brasileiro. Estes modelos sÃo compostos por fatores que sÃo observÃveis e representam uma caracterÃstica comum das variÃveis explicativas, permitindo uma reduÃÃo significativa do nÃmero destas variÃveis. Em seguida à feita a comparaÃÃo das previsÃes destes modelos entre si e em relaÃÃo ao modelo AR que à tomado como benchmark. Verifica-se que o modelo de Ãndice de difusÃo linear apresentou uma pequena superioridade, em termos de eficiÃncia preditiva, em relaÃÃo aos modelos nÃo linear e AR, que apresentaram resultados semelhantes.
The thesis entitled "Econometrical assays on the dynamics of the agricultural Gdp" is composed of three papers. The first article is entitled "Brazilian Agricultural Sector: An Analysis of Microregional Convergence" analyzes the process of agricultural micro regional convergence using the Threshold Model in the period 1970 to 1996. The results show the existence of five clubs of convergence: one with a group of richer micro regions; one with a group of poor micro regions and three intermediates groups. The results also show that physical capital is more important than human capital in the explanation of the growth process. The second paper with title "The Brazilian Agricultural Sector: A Application of the Model of Common Cycles in the period os 1990 the 2005" analyzes the behavior of Agricultural Gdp, real exchange rate and the current account balance agricultural in Brazil during the period of 1990 to 2005. Cointegration techniques were used to identify a VAR system with common stochastic trends, and to investigate the system responses to transitories and permanent shocks. The tests had proven the existence of a common trend and two cycles between the variables. Variance decompositions indicates that transiotories shocks accont form most of the short and long run fluctuations in agricultural Gdp. It was found that permanent shocks explain most of the variance of the exchance rate and of the current account balance mainly in the long run. The third paper entitled "Forecast of the Rate of Growth of the Brazilian Agricultural Gdp: An Application of Models of Diffusion Index Linear and Non-Linear". This article applies the linear and non-linear diffusion index model with a threshold effect to forecast, one step ahead, the qyarterly growt rate of Brazilian Agricultural Gdp. These models are composed by common factor which allow a significant reduction in the number of the original explaining variables. After comparing forecast of these two models between themselves and to an AR model, used as benchmark, one comes to the conclusion that the linear model presents a small superiority, in terms of predictive efficiency, in relation to the nonlinear and AR models.

Full textIncreasing demand in local food markets in WV offers a new or enhanced income generation opportunity to small producers. An ostensible gap in supply to meet this demand sparks an investigation of the factors that influence producers' decisions, as reflected by their behavior and intentions, to participate and expand in local food markets. The factors that influence both the behavior of current commercial producers and potential new entrants are identified through analysis of data collected through a survey of producers identified by field professionals. Specifically, the influence of motivational and place-based sociocultural characteristics, based on guidance from social psychology Theory of Planned Behavior, is examined within an economic framework of market participation and supply. Interest among non-commercial producers is identified and poses to be a plausible source of enhanced supply in local food markets in addition to expansion among current producers. Models of market participation behavior and supply response, using a probit model and OLS regression, indicated significant influence of motivational factors such as reasons for entering farming, influence of social context, and attitudes towards diversification of income to reduce risk. Probit model results indicate that past concerns such as time limitation and perceptions of lack of profitability limit intentions to participate in the market among current non-commercial producers, whereas past concerns about food safety and distance to market do not appear to limit those intentions. Probit model results of expansion intentions indicate the predominant influence of access to resources and farm-level factors as opposed to motivational factors on expansion. The importance of farm succession to sales volume and expansion intentions is salient. Interventions that will be successful at facilitating new entrants to market and expansion among current commercial producers must be tailored to producer values and sociocultural norms in addition to addressing resource barriers and skills. Specifically, facilitation of farm succession, implementation of marketing models that overcome distance to market and producer time and risk constraints, and education and technical assistance that is sensitive to sociocultural norms and values in general are potential leverage points. The analysis of market participation in addition to supply volume is determined to be an important aspect of analysis of supply response in local food markets in WV.
