Abstract:
Information technology based on cyber extension is one of agricultural communication tools to achieve farmers welfare. Cyber extension is a technology innovation to accelerate communication of agricultural information to the user , so that information can be obtained more quickly, precisely and relevant to farmer demands.The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness and behavior of farmers in using cyber extension as a medium of communication and information in support of agricultural development. The study method was survey with 86 farmer as sample respondents. The data were analyzed descriptively and using path analysis. The results show that the effectiveness of cyber extension is influenced by the farmer characteristics, farmers interaction and farmer perception. The effectiveness of cyber extension is the most strongly influenced by farmer characteristics (coefficient rate 0.328 ), and can be seen from the availability of information technology facilities and motivation of farmers to seek required information for farming activities. On the other hand, farmer's behavior is directly influenced by farmer perception and farmer effectiveness in using cyber extension. In addition, cyber extension is strongly effective to influence farmer behaviour with a coefficient of 0.413.

Abstract:
This study consisted of a survey of dairy farmers and their milking sheds at 198 Victorian dairy farms to examine the relationships between physical features in the milking shed and a number of job-related characteristics of the farmer, such as attitudes to handling cows and job satisfaction. Furthermore, farmers’ opinions of the effects of specific design features of the milking shed on cow behaviour were sought. A further objective of this survey was to use the relationships between shed characteristics and job-related characteristics of the farmer to identify, for future research, possible features of the milking shed that may affect cow behaviour. There was substantial variation in both the behavioural beliefs of farmers about cow behaviour in the milking shed and reports by farmers on comfort and working conditions in the dairy, indicating that considerable opportunities exist to improve these key job-related characteristics. A principal component analysis (PCA) of the responses to the questions on job-related characteristics of the farmer identified 6 factors: 2 of the factors identified were related to behavioural beliefs by farmers about cow behaviour (labelled ‘Cow Movement’ and ‘Cow Behaviour’); one of the factors related to comfort of the farmer in the shed (labelled ‘Operator Comfort’); and 3 of the factors related to aspects of the quality of life of the farmer (labelled ‘Workload’, ‘Farmer Mood’, and ‘Job Characteristics’). Positive beliefs about both cow movement (factor called Cow Movement) and cow behaviour (factor called Cow Behaviour) were correlated with farmers being more positive about working in the dairy (factor called Operator Comfort; P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively) and the characteristics of the job (factor called Job Characteristics; P < 0.01). These relationships suggest that improvements in cow behaviour may lead to improvements in both job satisfaction and the quality of life of the farmer. Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that a number of the shed features, such as height of the breast rail, presence of stall gates, length and width of the platform and solid side on first milking bail, were significant predictors of one or more of these 6 PCA factors. Although these results may not reflect causal relationships, these relationships between shed characteristics and a number of job-related characteristics of the farmer highlight the potential importance of shed design to both the cow and the farmer and provide a valuable guide in identifying features of milking sheds that require future examination as to their effects on cow behaviour.

Abstract:
Policy makers are challenged to find ways of influencing and supporting land manager behaviours and actions to deal with the impacts of increasing pressure from tree pests and diseases. This paper investigates attitudes and behaviours of farmers towards managing trees on farmland for pests and diseases. Data collection with farmers included deliberative workshops and semi-structured interviews. Data were thematically analyzed using the COM-B (Capacity/Opportunity/Motivation-Behaviour) model to understand the drivers of farmer behaviour for tree health. Results suggested farmers had some knowledge, experience and skills managing trees, but they did not recognize this capacity. Social norms and networks impacted the context of opportunity to act for tree health, along with access to trusted advice and labour, and the costs associated with management action. Motivational factors such as self-efficacy, perceived benefits of acting, personal interest and sense of agency were impacted by farmers’ self-identity as food producers. The COM-B model also provides a framework for identifying intervention design through a Behaviour Change Wheel. This suggests that enhancing self-efficacy supported by the right kind of advice and guidance, framed and communicated in farmers’ terms and brokered by appropriate knowledge intermediaries, seems critical to building action amongst different farmer types and attitudinal groups.

Abstract:
Current veterinary communication skills training often focuses on the strategies necessary to successfully transfer information and promote shared decision making rather than inspiring client motivation to engage in behaviour change(s). One evidence-based communication methodology with a specific focus on enhancing conversations about change is Motivational Interviewing (MI), which is perceived by veterinarians to be highly relevant to their profession. We examined whether veterinarians who experienced brief (4–5 hours) MI training (BMIT) were able to change their communication behaviours to be more MI consistent. Fourteen veterinarians recorded 31 veterinary herd health consultations before (n = 15) and after (n = 16) BMIT to allow pre-post intervention analysis of veterinarian and farmer verbal behaviour. Additionally, using a sequential linguistic analysis of 3885 veterinarian-farmer communication events within these consultations, the influence of veterinarians’ verbal behaviours on farmers’ response language was explored. Analysis of veterinary consultations undertaken before and after BMIT revealed that veterinarians changed their communication style to be more consistent with the MI methodology, including more use of reflection statements, a more empathic and partnership-oriented consultation style and greater emphasis on clients’ own language in favour of change goals. In response, farmers contributed more to the conversation and discussed more herd health-related changes. Sequential linguistic analysis suggested that following a veterinarian emphasising something positive about the farmer (e.g. efforts, strengths), seeking collaboration or emphasising farmer choice, farmers were subsequently more likely to express arguments in favour of change (‘Change Talk’), especially phrases indicative of commitment. This study offers the first evidence of the potential value of a BMIT experience to enhance veterinary communication skills, although conscious and disciplined use of MI principles, strategies and Spirit–an ethos of compassion, acceptance, partnership and evocation—requires longer and more complex training. Further studies examining the longevity and consistency of these verbal behaviour changes following BMIT are required.

Abstract:
Improved pasture management and increased pasture utilisation are positively associated with dairy farm efficiency and profitability in Tasmania. Supporting dairy farmers in developing pasture management knowledge and skills has been a key priority for research, development and extension in the Tasmanian dairy industry. The role of extension has been to increase farmer awareness and knowledge of best practice pasture management and to facilitate farmer learning, focusing on training farmers to use pasture measurement tools. However, many farmers have never used a pasture measurement tool, only trialled/tested a tool, and/or do not implement recommended pasture management practices. This study aimed to identify and understand factors influencing pasture management decision-making and behaviour for different farmer subgroups. Qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with 30 Tasmanian dairy farmers. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to identify and explore key factors influencing pasture management behaviour. There was a negative effect of social influence on pasture measurement tool use by experienced farmers, with many perceiving tool use to be for less experienced, younger farmers. This negative influence limited their intention to measure pasture and engage in the learning process required to overcome perceived control factors and change practices. Perceived control factors limiting behaviour change included tool data inaccuracy and challenging calculations associated with applying measurement data on-farm. This study demonstrates how the Theory of Planned Behaviour can be used to identify and understand factors influencing adoption behaviour of Tasmanian dairy farmers and assist in developing recommendations for future extension and pasture management programs.

Abstract:
Agriculture is a risky business, and risk persists in all management decisions taken by a farmer at the farm level. Disrupting agricultural business severely affects the livelihood of individual farmers and negatively affects the country’s economy. To cope with risks, farmers’ tend to mitigate the harsh impact of risks by adopting risk management strategies. Such an adoption decision is affected by several factors, most importantly, the psychological factors, i.e., risk perception and risk attitude of the farmer. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to understand farmers’ risk perception and risk attitude that affect their behaviour in making decisions at the farm level in a risky prospect. The association is investigated by employing chi-squared tests and Cramér’s V. The indirect impact of socioeconomic characteristics of the farmer via their psychological factors is conducted using structural equation model (SEM) path analysis. Their direct impact, together with psychological factors, are examined using the probit model. The two models are compared statistically for better performance and interpretations of the results. From the results, we found that risk perception and risk attitude are the key driving forces of farmers’ decisions during uncertainty which induce them to adopt risk management strategies. Other key variables and their quadratic functions that significantly affect farmers’ behaviour include education level, farming experience, off-farm income, and farm size. Thus, it is vital to consider these factors while assessing farmers’ behaviour in a risky prospect.

Abstract:
The study aimed at specifying the entrepreneurial behaviour and delineating the critical success factors of the farmer entrepreneurs for establishment of agribusiness ventures under ACABC scheme. There is need of a wellstructured training module which would not only inculcate the right entrepreneurial behaviour at training stage but can be used at later stages of enterprise expansion. Training about profitable enterprise selection, cognizance of loan procedure from institutional credit sources can be really helpful factors for successful enterprise creation. The study has been conducted with a sample of 30 trained farmer entrepreneurs, 15 each from Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra from randomly selected 13 and 15 blocks of respective states, who underwent training under ACABC scheme. The data was collected through semi-structured interview schedule consisting of two parts: Entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers and factors for successful establishment of agribusiness ventures. The entrepreneurial behaviour of farmer-entrepreneurs was measured with the help of a scale developed by Technonet Asia (1981) in terms of four dimensions namely, Risk taking behaviour, Hope of success, Manageability and Persuasive ability. Against each dimension, responses were obtained in terms of Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree and Strongly disagree in frequency and percentage. Three factors namely Motivational factors, Social factors and Economic factors were studied for their contribution in successful establishment of agribusiness ventures. Against each Critical success factor, responses were obtained as frequency and percentage in terms of Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree and Strongly disagree. It was found that the farmer entrepreneurs of Uttar Pradesh had medium risk taking behaviour while Maharashtra farmers had high risk taking behaviour because of the abundance of the resources that the state had which supported them to take risk beyond capacity. Similarly, both the states had medium hope of success, high manageability and high persuasive ability that made these two states entrepreneurial hub for agriculture. Farmer entrepreneurs of Uttar Pradesh considered motivational factors to be moderately affecting while social and economic factors to be highly affecting the success of the agri-enterprise while respondents of Maharashtra perceived all the factors to be equally and highly affecting the success of the agri-enterprises.

Abstract:
AbstractAlthough veal production is a highly standardized system, there still remains considerable variability in productivity between units. This variability might be due to the farmers working on these units, through differences in stockmanship, work attitudes or behaviour, which in turn may affect animals’ fear responses, productivity and health. A survey was conducted on 50 commercial farms affiliated to the same veal company. All units had calves housed in individual crates, a similar number of crates, and the same diets and management advice. Data were collected on: building and general farm characteristics, farmers’ backgrounds and their attitudes towards their work and calves, farmers’ behaviour with the calves, calves’ reactivity to people, and disease level of the calves. Productivity results (growth rates, food efficiency and mortality) were used to classify veal units as ‘high producing’ (no. = 24) v. ‘moderate producing’ (no. = 26). Calves were less reactive to people in units where the farmer behaved sympathetically and where there were several stockpersons working. The disease level was lower in units where the farmer had a positive attitude towards the sensitivity of the calves to contact and towards the importance of cleaning. Productivity of the veal unit was associated with the health of the calves but not with their reactivity to people.It is suggested that the farmer can have an influence on the success of the veal unit mainly through his/her ability to control the health of the calves and that a positive attitude towards animals and towards work (specifically cleaning actions) can improve the accuracy of surveillance and care of the animals. Moreover, through his/her behaviour with the calves and his/her ability to control their health, the farmer can play an important rôle in assuring calves’ welfare.

Abstract:
In North West Himalayan region, farmers tend to face problems related to production and natural resource management due to steep slopes; fragile geology and frequent landslides which leads to high soil erosion. The present study was conducted with the objective to assess the impact of Farmer FIRST Project on the livelihood of beneficiary farmers of study area. A sample of 300 farmers comprising of 180 beneficiary and 120 non-beneficiary farmers were selected through multi stage random sampling. To delineate the impact, with-without and before-after comparison on different aspects of Farmer FIRST Project were carried out. Study revealed that there exists a significant difference between beneficiary farmers and non-beneficiary farmers on various aspects, viz. awareness level, change in decision making behaviour, change in marketing behaviour, change in yield, change in income, change in cropping intensity and change in average annual employment days. Before-after comparison of beneficiary farmers showed that there is a significant increase in crop yield, cultivable area and average annual employment days. Hence, there is a need of upscaling the project for inclusion of more numbers of farmers and securing their livelihood.

Abstract:
Abstract Farmers' capacity to manage rice paddy farming is closely related to individuals' behaviour in managing the farm. Farmer capacity building program has been widely and often conducted relevant government innovation lowland rice farm and delivered to farmers. Still, the farmers cannot give a proper response to lowland rice farm management innovation, especially in terms of strengthening farmers' capacity. This study aims to: (1) determine the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers and (2) to analyze the factors related to the capacity level of rice paddy farmers. The research was conducted in the northern part of Tangerang Regency (Pantura), the centre for rice production in the Tangerang Regency. The research was conducted from July to November 2020. Data was collected through FGD interviews and observations of 150 farmers. The data analysis used descriptive test and multiple regression. The results showed that the farmer capacity in managing lowland rice farming in Tangerang district was classified as moderate, both in resource utilization, problem identification, farming planning, and adaptability. The main factor determining the level of farmer capacity in managing rice paddy farmers is formal education and nonformal education.

Abstract:
The South African poultry industry is a large part of the agricultural industry and a very important contributor to the Agriculture’s Gross Domestic Product. Furthermore, this industry is expanding and very good growth is predicted for the next decade. This growth will take place in the formal as well as the informal segments of the industry. The informal segment holds a lot of potential for suppliers to supply in their growing needs. Due to the fact that broiler feed is seen as a large contributor to the total cost of broiler production, it is considered very important factor. If feed suppliers want to focus on the informal market, they need to understand the differences between commercial farmers and small–scale farmers and specifically the different needs of small–scale farmers. To develop a strategy to utilize the opportunities in the informal market, it is necessary to understand all the factors that influence the purchase behaviour of these farmers. A model of stimulus response is used to define the factors that may influence purchase behaviour. The factors that seemed important from the literature study are market and other stimuli. The market stimuli consist of product, price, promotion and place. The product aspect could further be divided into quality aspects, brand equity, and additional services that accompany the product. Other stimuli that could influence purchase behaviour are economic conditions, special event, climatic condition and the influence of culture. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and factor analysis were used on the data to determine which factors influence the small–scale farmers’ purchase behaviour. While the Kaiser Meyer Olkin measure, Bartlett’s test of shericity and Cronbach Apha were used to determine if the data is suitable to do a factor analysis on. Factor analysis was done to determine which factors are the most important. The seven significant factors that influence the purchase behaviour of small–scale farmers are: * Value for money and opportunity. * Perceived brand value. * Customer support and service. * Consensus on available quality. * Brand loyalty. * Feed price at the reseller. * Bag size. More research on this topic in a larger geographical area is required.

This thesis examined the influence of a pilot drought policy program on the capacity, behaviours and resilience of farm businesses. The program had mixed effects on capacity levels, but supported the development and implementation of holistic strategic plans. Continued use of the plans was uncertain. Consequently, the contribution of the program to farm business resilience was tenuous, with tension between the process used by the program to develop strategic plans and the overarching policy objectives.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to assist wire companies to identify buying behaviour amongst consumers of their products. For the purpose of this study the product will be wire products and the specific target market will be farmers in the Eastern Free State. The primary objective of the study is to identify factors that play a role in the buying behaviour of farmers in the Eastern Free State when purchasing wire products. By knowing exactly the buying criteria of wire products amongst farmers and seasonable cycles of purchasing will form the basis of strategic marketing planning. This study was conducted in two phases. Phase one consisted of a literature review and phase two of an empirical research. The empirical research consisted of a quantitative research design; more specifically, descriptive research that employed cross–sectional analysis of the quantitative data collected from a sample by means of a structured questionnaire. The results show that 76% of the respondents are older than 41 years of age. The population for this study is, therefore, a more matured one. Regarding their buying behaviour, the purchase frequency shows that the majority purchase wire products on a monthly basis and 40% on an annual basis. Most of them (78%) purchase their wire products from the co–operative. Wire products are an integral part of farming activities and in general the respondents are very positive about the industry. Most important considerations identified are that the wire industry should keep in touch with its market, never be out of orders, keep up the fast service that is currently provided, and that reputable products should be kept in stock.

Abstract:
The agriculture industry has high rates of injury and illness. Furthermore, the average age of US farmers is 58 years old. Chronic conditions are more common among older populations and often require management by a health professional. Farmers face barriers when seeking healthcare. These barriers include limited free time, shortage of providers in rural areas, limited funds, and poor health insurance. In addition, lack of quality health insurance and concerns about paying for healthcare are identified as barriers to healthcare-seeking behavior among farmers. More research is needed to examine the impact of type of health insurance on utilization of specific types of healthcare services among this high-risk population. The goal of this study was to examine the association between a farmer’s type of health insurance and their healthcare-seeking behaviors. A brief, in-person, self-administered survey was used to identify the types of health insurance Midwest farmers were using and how this affected what type of healthcare services they utilized, specifically looking at preventive healthcare services. A second survey, administered online, was used to identify pre-existing conditions farmers had and the specific healthcare preventive healthcare services they utilized. The online survey found that type of health insurance was significantly associated with usage of preventive services. Other associations were found in the in-person survey between type of health insurance and stress over health insurance as well as stress over injury on the farm. These results can be used to inform future health and safety programs about the impact of health insurance on farmer’s healthcare-seeking behavior. However, additional research should be done with a larger sample.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective of this thesis is to assess the impact of the 2003 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) refonn and the implementation of decoupled supports on the fanning sector in three EU- J5 countries, namely England, France and Sweden. The main assumption behind the research is that the shift from coupled to decoupled payments will change the remuneration of productive inputs and therefore have an impact on fanners' distribution of allocatable fixed resources between on- and off-fann activities. T~~ thesis focuses more specifically on two factors of agricultural production: labour and lanl The thesis presents a conceptual framework of decoupling and its impacts on land and labour decisions based on economic rationality. On this basis, it empirically explores the detenninants of the intentions to exit and alter the size ofthe fann (measured in land area) and of operators' time allocation between on- and off-fann activities, within a 5-year time horizon from 2006, under three policy scenarios, namely a counterfactual continuing Agenda 2000, the implementation of the Single Fann payment ,as decided in the countries studied and an hypothetical full decoupling scenario. The investigation of the detenninants of intentions in response to a policy change relies on economic and socio-psychological factors to allow interpreting intended behaviours deviating from the prediction of the conceptual model. The main findings of the rese~'rch indicate that fanners are planning some limited adjustments ,consistent with decoupling and that operators' attitudes and opinions do impact on their plans. The first chapter of the thesis introduces the bac;kground and the objectives of the study. Chapter 2 focuses on decoupling and its expected'impacts on fanners and the fanning sector, and the tools available to study those impacts. The motivations and drawbacks behind the choice of a survey of intentions are presented, as well as the interest of using sociopsychological variables in such a context. Chapter 3 is concerned with the questions of exit/growth and time allocation and the development of a conceptual framework within which these can be studied. Methodological approaches and hypotheses are derived. Chapter 4 presents the characteristics of the case-study countries. Chapter 5 is focusing on data requirement and collection. Finally, chapter 6 and 7 present the results and policy implications focusing on exit/growth and time allocation respectively, while chapter 8 concludes.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter discusses the knowledge and thinking of the farmers. Phil was certainly not bereft of ideas. He muses on issues of sheep psychology and behaviour and wonders if understanding the inner mental workings of his charges would help in their management. One cannot decide this without understanding issues around animal behaviour as Phil recognizes. Peter is fully of the opinion that imagination is a critical skill in many farm issues. Brad muses about the power of a brain and the need to store, literally, millions of bits of information relevant to primary production. Also, he emphasized to himself the need for complete and accurate observation both on and off the farm to obtain the current state of affairs both farmwise and market and conditions-wise.

Abstract:
AbstractResearchers increasingly explore farmers’ climate change behavior and the respective influencing factors. This has resulted in extensive, but hitherto unstructured knowledge. We analyze 50 peer-reviewed scientific studies and identify behavioral factors and their influence on farmers’ mitigation and adaptation behavior. Our results show a broad variety of behavioral factors, including cognitive factors which refer to perceptions of a specific risk or behavior, social factors which are influenced by farmers’ interactions with their social peers, and factors which depend on farmers’ personal disposition. Depending on the characteristics of the respective behavioral factor, the implementation of mitigation and adaptation measures is facilitated or impeded.

Abstract:
The livestock industry faces a shortage of workers due to aging populations and falling numbers of young farmers. Researchers have collected and analyzed big data, and attempted to use it to improve livestock farming practices and reduce labor costs. We developed a cattle behavior monitoring system, PETER, using edge-AI and low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies. PETER enables us to detect behaviors of grazing cattle (e.g., foraging, ruminating, walking, resting). Conversely, in the development of conventional livestock breeding support systems, user requirements are defined in a top-down manner. Few R&Dprojects feature user-centered design (UCD) or consider interactions between actors (e.g., farmers, livestock, technologies). This study aimed to apply UCD to the raising of grazing livestock, and to develop a prototype system offering farmers more precise and less labor-intensive livestock management.Our study started with fieldwork at a small grazing farm in Japan, located on abandoned farmland about 700 km from Tokyo. Two Japanese Black breeding cows are being raised and managed by a farmer and the farm owner. The farmer is employed part-time. The owner lives in Tokyo, is a veterinarian, and decides how to manage the cows. The information used by the owner to make decisions, such as nutritional deficiencies, or signs of disease or estrus, is provided only by the farmer. We investigated how remotely located veterinarians or owners could notice abnormalities in cattle and decide how to treat them, without waiting to consult the local farmer. Our UCD comprised three rounds: sketches; mock-ups; and finally functional prototypes to test and validate our ideas and hypotheses on users. We developed a web-based app as a functional user-interface prototype of PETER, showing the cows’ behavior history, the farm calendar, and the estimated amount of pasture grass. This information alone is insufficient for the farmer’s or owner’s understanding and decision-making. Therefore, the app can notify the chat communication service originally used by the farmer and owner whenever PETER detects possibly abnormal behavior in cattle, such as a reduced daily foraging or ruminating or walking duration, or an increase in resting duration. This is to attract their attention whenever PETER detects something unusual about the cattle. The farmer can then provide supplementary practical information on the spot, and the remote owner can make decisions and give instructions on the spot. During the four-week user test with the functional prototype, 10 notifications were made to the chat service, eight of which were supplemented with further information, such as farmers sending photos, and six of which confirmed the owner’s instructions and advice to the farmer. Some of the responses were confirmed, such as the owner calling a local veterinarian when a cow had diarrhea.This study shows that when the cattle behavior monitoring system detects any unusual information in pasture-raised livestock, it notifies the communication tool used by the owners, enabling them to take action before the matter becomes serious, even if they are remotely located. This study also indicates that the UCD approach is effective in the raising of pasture livestock.

Full text
Abstract:
The CAP support is mostly focused on the technological modernization of farms, linked with production intensification, and weakly focused on the farms prosperity and resilience. As a result farmers and managers of agricultural companies are only a slightly motivated to produce added value and high quality food products, to use short food supply chains addressing constantly changing consumer needs, or to pay much attention on issues related to climate change. The paper findings are based on the Lithuanian case study carried out as a part of the international research project “Rethinking the links between farm modernization, rural development and resilience in a world of increasing demands and finite resources” (RETHINK). The Lithuanian case study was determining farmers’ behaviour and causal factors in decision-making. The research based on the positive research paradigm, case study, content and descriptive analysis, empirical study methods (answers of two groups of experts experts-professionals and experts-farmers), logical and systematical reasoning, graphic presentation, abstracts and other methods. The present paper is examining the impact of political factors on prosperity and resilience on farms and agricultural companies. The political factors have the highest impact for prosperity of the farms and agricultural companies in Lithuania (as compared to the technical – entrepreneurial, ethical - social factors, and intangible values). The support from the EU and the national funds is not fully in line with the current concept of farms’ modernization and agricultural innovation. The public policy influence on the competitiveness of the agricultural sector is more strengthening than weakening. The results show the main elements that farmers believe should be included in the new concept of rural prosperity, as well as the main strategies adopted to reach prosperity divided into the five sub dimensions: development of the rural social infrastructure and implementation of information technologies; strong self-governance, social awareness and partnership; high culture of life and communication; rural employment and job creation in rural areas, population welfare; economic and social viability, ecology and environmental security of the countryside.

Abstract:
This paper presents a mathematical model investigating the physics behind pressure-compensating (PC) drip irrigation emitters. A network of PC emitters, commonly known as drip irrigation, is an efficient way to deliver water to crops while increasing yield. Irrigation can provide a means for farmer to grow more sensitive, and profitable crops and help billions of small-holder farmers lift themselves out of poverty. Making drip irrigation accessible and economically viable is important for developing farmers as most face the challenges of water scarcity, declining water tables and lack of access to an electrical grid. One of the main reasons for the low adoption rate of drip irrigation in the developing world is the relatively high cost of the pumping power. It is possible to reduce this cost by reducing the required activation pressure of the emitters, while maintaining the PC behavior. The work presented here provides a guide of how design changes in the emitter could allow for a reduction in the activation pressure from 1 bar to approximately 0.1 bar. This decrease in the activation pressure of each emitter in turn decreases the system driving pressure. This reduction of driving pressure will decrease the energy need of pumping, making a solar-powered system affordable for small-acreage farmers. This paper develops a mathematical model to describe the PC behavior in a commercially available emitter. It is a 2D model that explains the relationship between the pressure, structural deformation and fluid flow within a PC emitter. A parametric study has been performed to understand the effects of geometric and material parameters with regards to the activation pressure and PC behavior. This knowledge will help guide the designs and prototypes of optimized emitters with a lower activation pressure, while also providing the PC behavior.

Abstract:
This period was chosen due to the occurrence during this time interval of some phenomena that disturbed a pork market, at the same time and a challenge for the pig farmers forced to adapt to the new situation. In the context of the appearance in Romania and in other EU countries of the African Swine Fever epidemic which led to the drastic reduction of the pig herds and subsequently of the COVID 19 epidemic the pork market suffered several fluctuations during this period. Due to the specific situation of Romania with a large number of pigs raised in households, the epidemic has a significant impact on the number of pigs, who drastically reduced during this period. For this purpose, we performed for the period 2018 - 2020 an analysis of pork prices, pig herds, imports and exports and pork market behaviour for this period. Main objective is to provide an overview of the Romanian economic situation in terms of livestock, in order to highlight the importance of local farms and, therefore, its major impact on the economy.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent measurements from operating wind farms demonstrate that the layout of the farm and interactions between turbine wakes strongly affects the overall efficiency of the wind farm. In some wind farms arranged in rectangular layouts, winds coming from the direction of the rectangular corner create a potential acceleration around the wind farm. This acceleration inherently leads to stronger local wind speeds at wind turbines downstream of the corner turbine, thereby increasing the power output of the downstream turbines. In this study, computational models are developed to predict this complex behavior seen in wind farms. The model used to examine these effects is a fully three-dimensional unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes code, with the turbulence model turned off. Preliminary results show an optimum spacing configuration is possible. However, the results have yet to be verified at higher Reynolds number, which will be the effort of future work. Ultimately, these tools may lead to more optimal wind farm layouts.

Spillover Effects of Medium-Scale Farms on Smallholder Behaviour and Welfare: Evidence from Nigeria. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/apra.2022.009.

Full text
Abstract:
Many countries across Africa are seeing an increasing share of farmland being classified as medium-scale farms (MSFs). MSFs are defined as farms operating between 5–100ha. MSFs co-exist with small-scale farms (SSFs, defined as farms below 5ha), who still constitute the majority of households in rural areas of Africa. While there is growing literature documenting the drivers of the rise of MSFs and their characteristics empirical evidence on how this rise in MSFs impacts neighbouring SSFs is still thin. This study addresses these observed gaps in the literature. We developed a theoretical model to explain some mechanisms through which spillovers on SSFs can be generated from the existence of MSFs around them. We empirically tested for evidence of these spillovers with data from Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy and most populous nation. By exploring the spillover effects of MSFs on a broader set of SSF outcomes, including input use, productivity, commercialisation and welfare (captured via several measures of household income and poverty status), this paper provides a more comprehensive view of spillover effects.
