Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThe policies influencing the American agricultural research agenda are developed by Congress, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the 58 state agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant university system, with input from various advisory groups. Despite the slow pace of change in the agricultural research agenda, there are no special barriers keeping the research system from adapting to contemporary and alternative agriculture issues. Rather, agricultural researchers have neither appropriate professional incentives nor sufficient financial incentives to shift toward alternative agriculture. Public intervention to alter these incentives has been thwarted because agricultural research institutions set their agendas through obscure processes. Five areas of policy change that could improve the prospects for evolution of a significant alternative agriculture research agenda are: 1) imposing a means test for formula fund payment limitations to states, with saved funds directed toward alternative agriculture research; 2) making priority setting a condition for receiving federalfunds for agricultural research to make the research agenda-setting process clearer to all interested parties; 3) requiring that federally funded research programs be categorized by the specific social goals toward which they are directed, to aid in judgments about the relevance of specific public agricultural research programs; 4) requiring information on research programs to be reported in a way that is specifically relevant to the alternative agriculture agenda; 5) formally involving public citizens and farmers in reviewing agricultural research grants to assure that the usefulness of proposed research is weighed along with scientific merit. These proposals complement current interest in making science generally more responsive to national priorities, and are entirely feasible within current agricultural research policy processes. Their effectiveness, however, is limited by the shrinking influence of federal funding in the state agricultural experiment station system, and they are only incremental changes within the existing system rather than radical reforms toward an alternative research system.

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractControl of agricultural policymaking by the “agricultural establishment” has been challenged by a wide range of interests concerned with the externalities of modern industrialized agriculture. An “externalities/alternatives” or “ex/al” coalition appears to be an emerging force in agricultural policy debates. We surveyed three alternative agriculture groups, three conventional agriculture groups, and a statewide sample of farmers to learn whether each category forms a distinct, unified interest group whose perspectives on agricultural policy diverge substantially from the others'. There is considerable similarity among the alternative agriculture groups and among the conventional agriculture groups, the differences between them being much greater than the differences within each category. The statewide farmer sample is generally intermediate between the two sets of interest groups, but is closer to the conventional perspective on most issues.

Abstract (sommario):
Agriculture has played a dominant role among the income sources of population living along the Hortobágy just like in any other rural areas. I represent the situations of settlements along the Hortobágy by studying four of them, such as Balmazújváros, Hortobágy, Tiszacsege and Egyek. Big companies having worked in the examined settlements had significance in ensuring local working facilities, and restraining people from leaving. Acts dating back to the beginning of the 1990’ies, privatisation, transformation of the state farm and co-operatives have decreased the rate of employment in agriculture. Alternative income sources relating to agriculture, such as bio-farming by alternative plants, herb production and rural tourism will determine the future of agriculture in this area due to the closeness of the Hortobágy National Park, the unique but unfavourable natural conditions for agricultural production, financial aids by the National Agricultural Environmental Programme and the imminent EU-membership. In this way supporting these activities may ensure the livelihood of ex-agricultural workers and alternative income for those working in agriculture.I am going to deal with two issues in this article:• with the change of the role of agriculture in the examined settlements,• with economic analyses of alternative income sources by a model of a family farm.

Abstract (sommario):
Modern agricultural production is characterized by being responsible for the supply of food, fiber, active ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry and raw materials for a variety of industries, it is dedicated to the cultivation of the land in order to obtain products intended for human use and animal food, whose purpose is the production, breeding of plants and food, through crops or pastures, thus, agriculture benefits the family unit, workers, and people who consume part of it daily, In this case we are based on agricultural production alternatives different from the traditional way, this alternative agriculture is a system that, instead of using agricultural inputs, carries out specific practices depending on the characteristics of each ecosystem, they are alternative productions to the that enable the economic development of the region or provide added value to traditional productions, There are several types of agriculture in the world, such as traditional agriculture, natural agriculture, organic agriculture, industrial agriculture, among others, Alternative agriculture includes the use of vegetable or animal manure instead of chemical fertilizers, integrated pest management instead of chemical pesticides, which, by saving on chemicals, organic farmers obtain more income that contributes to developing the economy of the areas rural. It does not contaminate soil or water and consumes less energy than conventional agriculture, which benefits the environment

The present study tried to analyze the implications of the alternative agriculture in the establishment Novas Vidas – Ocara – CE, considering the social, environmental and economic aspects. For so much, they took place a field work in the sense of they be tabulated information that allowed a characterization and understanding in the production ways and organization of establishment, because such area represents a differentiation place, because it was one of the first establishments of agrarian reform of Ceará they convert it the conventional production into alternative, through the organic agriculture. The method used in the research took into social, environmental and economic variable account, through an investigation process, where they were applied and later on the tabulated 17 questionnaires for the 20 seated families. According to the obtained data, seated them they use 34,5ha are with subsistence agriculture and 4,2ha are with vegetable gardens, both produced in an organic way. Even so, same possessing earth and water for irrigation the explored area is small, because, the establishment possesses a total area of 693,67 ha. The results indicate that, in the social aspects, it is observed that the problems of health are not verified with frequently and the education, what demonstrates progresses in the improvement of the life quality. In agreement with the environmental variables, it is verified that the abandonment of practices that they degrade the environment is present in the place. Already in what it says respect to the economic aspects, the analysis aims the need to obtain mechanisms of a larger generation of income and resolutions for problems of economic nature, because, becomes an negative point to be solved. The agriculture of the establishment represents a model of more balanced development, at least in what it tells respect the environmental subject, even so it is necessary that is created initiatives to turn it more effective in the generation of income. Solved that problems, the model could represent an exit for the problem of the insustainability agricultural production, by means of the application of an alternative agriculture that glimmer the sustainability life the field.
O presente estudo procurou analisar as implicações da agricultura alternativa no assentamento Novas Vidas - Ocara – CE, considerando os aspectos sociais, ambientais e econômicos, visto que tal área representa um local de diferenciação, pois foi um dos primeiros assentamentos de reforma agrária do Ceará a converterem a produção convencional em alternativa, através da agricultura orgânica. O método utilizado na pesquisa levou em conta variáveis sociais, ambientais e econômicas, através de um processo de investigação, onde foram aplicados e posteriormente tabulados 17 questionários dentre as 20 famílias assentadas. Segundo os dados obtidos, os assentados utilizam 34,5ha com agricultura de subsistência e 4,2ha com hortas, ambas produzidas de forma orgânica. Porém, mesmo possuindo terra e água para irrigação a área explorada é pequena, visto que, o assentamento possui uma área total de 693,67ha. Os resultados indicam que, dentre os aspectos sociais, observa-se que os problemas de saúde não são constatados com grandes freqüências e que há a valorização da educação, o que demonstra avanços na melhoria da qualidade de vida. De acordo com as variáveis ambientais, constata-se que o abandono de práticas que degradam o meio ambiente é presente no local. Já no que diz respeito aos aspectos econômicos, a análise aponta a necessidade de se encontrar mecanismos de uma maior geração de renda e resoluções para a questão econômica, visto que, torna-se um ponto negativo a ser solucionado. A agricultura do assentamento representa um modelo de desenvolvimento mais equilibrado, pelo menos no que diz respeito à questão ambiental, porém é necessário que se crie iniciativas para torná-la mais eficaz na geração de renda. Resolvidos tais problemas, o modelo poderia representar uma saída para o problema da insustentabilidade da produção agrícola, mediante a aplicação de uma agricultura alternativa que vislumbre a sustentabilidade da vida no campo.

Abstract (sommario):
It has long been asserted that taxation distorts the production decisions of timber land owners. More recently, claims have been that this does not occur because the tax is fully shifted into sawlog prices. This paper constructs a model of landowner choice between a property tax programme and a modified yield tax programme under the assumption of tax capitalization. Under tax shifting, the landowner will be indifferent between tax regimes. With tax capitalization owners of younger stands will elect to classify their stands for the modified yield tax programme. An empirical model of binary choice is evaluated using cross sectional forty level data from Cowlitz County, Washington immediately after implementation of the Reforestation Act of 1931. The empirical results suggest that landowners are responsive to differences in the taxing pattern in a manner conforming to the theoretical predictions consistent with tax capitalization. Additional results suggest that implementation of the alternate tax regime may have had little effect on tax defaults. The tax capitalization result is extended to derive expressions for pigouvian taxes designed to influence stand management, consistent with the increasing timber prices encountered in the postwar world.

Abstract (sommario):
Since the Scientific and Industrial revolutions, advancing technologies and cutting-edge science have enabled our society to continually promote a growing global economy. Industrial growth has increasingly become a top priority for most governments, notably in the agricultural realm. The advances towards agricultural industrialization began in the 17th century and escalated during the Green Revolution, which examined the possibility of using synthetic fertilizers and mechanization in farming to decrease labor and improve yields. Although seen as economically beneficial, the shift from an agrarian lifestyle to industrial farming has created an ecological, economic, and ideological crisis to our modern world. This paper aims to examine the problems associated with agricultural industrialization and investigate whether biodynamic agriculture effectively provides a solution to the problems inherent in both conventional and industrial organic agricultural methodology.

Abstract (sommario):
Contemporary methods of food production in the United States have become undeniably destructive ecologically.  Two of the strongest symbols of that destruction from corporate industrial agriculture are CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations) and monoculture crop production.  This thesis seeks to find examples of producers refusing these methods as well as what motivates those producers to refuse, and what that refuse could mean politically.  The project is grounded theoretically in the work of critical theorists, especially Herbert Marcuse, because the Frankfurt School\'s criticism of instrumental rationality and understanding of domination functions to elucidate the societal conditions that allow for agricultural (over)production to be swept up in problematic methods in the name of efficiency.

           Part I starts by analyzing academic as well as popular discourses of CAFOs and the historical process of industrializing meat production and agriculture in the United States.  Here both corporate capitalism and enlightenment rationality are indicted and Marcuse\'s theories are put to work to set up what is being refused. Part II uses examples of organic and local food to provide an understanding for how consumption centered refusals can be co-opted by corporate interest.  Part III seeks out contemporary refusals that go past \'green consumerism\' and foster a "new sensibility" that is grounded in a sense of place, ecological cooperation with nature, and refuses corporatism.  In this new sensibility there is a direct rejection of the instrumental rationality, the profit motive and exploitation of nature.

Abstract (sommario):
The European Union and its Member States have set themselves to achieve climate neutrality across the EU by 2050. The agricultural sector is one of the emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG). To achieve its climate neutrality goals of reducing the increase in global temperature to below 2�C and limiting it to 1.5�C, the EU has adopted the Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy based on it. These goals create the need for the development and implementation of innovations. The agricultural sector will experience several innovative approaches in the future, including the digitalization of agriculture and the use of biotechnologies, including microbiological approaches. As a result, the agricultural industry will face significant changes in farming methods. In this article, the need for innovation in agriculture, the main microbiological factors that determine both soil health and yield levels are discussed and the principle by which the economic benefits of using innovative microbiological preparations in agriculture are calculated is shown. The use of microbiological preparations in agriculture can maintain crop yields and reduce GHG emissions.

Abstract (sommario):
Today developed countries are not just talking about agriculture or agribusiness, but set a strategic goal in developing high-tech and profitable sector of the Bioeconomy as a serious alternative to traditional industries, economies and markets. Modern agriculture and worldwide growth structural change of consumption of food. This factor is directly linked with the global orientation of rural households in the world at improving the productivity of agricultural land, reduction of losses, and increase in food production. The agricultural sector focuses on the production and processing of agricultural products, storage, transportation and sales of finished products. Thus, the agricultural sector requires professionals with expertise and skills relevant to the entire production cycle. The transition to the Bioeconomy market changed the nature and conditions of agricultural workers. The article provides a rationale for the necessity of establishment of an agro-bio-techno park in the Republic of Tatarstan as an innovative factor of increasing competitiveness of agriculture in Russia under global challenges. It represents results of analysis of global challenges for development of agriculture, domestic and international experience of setting up and work of techno parks in the universities and the model of the Agro-bio-techno park establishment at the Kazan State Agrarian University.

Abstract (sommario):
Environmental concerns in the long run have led the public to develop alternative materials that could be used in agriculture. The development and application of carrageenan and wheat straw biodegradable composite in agriculture is the main focus of this study. This composite is crafted to tackle the environmental repercussions linked with traditional agricultural materials. The manufacturing procedure encompasses the extraction and treatment of wheat straw fibres, which are then merged with carrageenan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide sourced from red seaweed Furcellaria Lumbricalis. The resultant bio composite displays encouraging mechanical traits, rendering it suitable for a variety of agricultural applications. The employment of wheat straw not only offers an environmentally conscious substitute but also addresses the predicament of disposing of agricultural waste. Regarding its application, the biodegradable composite can serve as a material for seedling trays. Due to the composite natural propensity to break down over time, long-term environmental pollution is prevented. Additionally, the material biodegradability is improved by its contact with soil microbes, enhancing the overall sustainability of agricultural methods. The outcomes of this study underscore the potential of the biodegradable wheat straw and carrageenan composite as a sustainable substitute for diverse agricultural applications. The development and assimilation of such environmentally friendly materials contribute to the ongoing endeavours to promote sustainable practices in agriculture, addressing both ecological apprehensions and the necessity for pioneering solutions in the field.

Abstract (sommario):
In Liberia, agriculture is an important part of the economy and contributes significantly to national income; yet, the enormous amount of agricultural waste produced by agricultural operations and the absence of adequate waste management is negatively affecting the environment. One of the key objectives for improving the living environment is noise reduction. A sound absorber is a tool that may be used to do such. The ability to manage sound has been recognized as one of the essential aspects of a person’s comfort. Controlling the room’s acoustics is key. Generally, materials utilized for sound attenuation are synthetic fibers like glass wool fiber. Over time, it has been revealed that synthetic fibers are pricey and may be hazardous to the environment and human health. Natural fibers as an alternative to synthetic fiber are therefore receiving more attention. This research presents natural agricultural waste materials as a replacement for conventional sound-absorbing materials as these materials offer the benefits of being inexpensive, lightweight, easily accessible, environmentally friendly, and non-polluting. The waste products from agriculture that can be employed in the realm of noise control include coconut fiber, groundnut shell, and sugarcane fiber.

Abstract (sommario):
Public and private investments in alternative food production systems have increased in recent years. Two systems, controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and agrivoltaics (AV), have been highlighted for their potential to provide socioeconomic benefits beyond food production. This study examines recent innovations in the production process for CEA and AV systems, the extent to which they have been adopted, whether these are providing output for agricultural markets, and the types of crops or other agricultural goods the systems supply. There have been growing investments in these alternative food production systems, both for commercial and research purposes. But the growth opportunities also come with economic, technical, and other challenges, which are examined in this report.

Abstract (sommario):
This report is the outcome of the project Urban Agriculture for a Resilient Future (FutureUA) financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers and implemented in 2023. In this final report, we discuss the future of urban agriculture across different themes, namely (1) cultivating change in connection with innovation and legislation, (2) cultivating community in connection with culture, and (3) cultivating knowledge in connection with education and science. While the first theme reflects the potential of agriculture to occupy more space in cities and to be perceived as a desirable urban function through innovation and legislative support, the second theme focuses on the known benefits of urban agriculture for building community and fostering social inclusion. The third theme reflects the momentum urban agriculture is gaining in institutional education through the implementation of programmes that respond to the growing demand for systematic knowledge of urban agriculture at different qualification levels. This report is primarily a presentation of seven urban agriculture initiatives that tell stories about how different actors have engaged with or support the practice of growing food in cities. The description of the cases was based on webinar discussions, interviews with the main stakeholders of each case, and study visits. These cases provide the context to show how different actors can engage in urban agriculture and food systems, as well as to discuss their challenges and opportunities and to draw lessons from their practices. The report targets a broad and heterogeneous audience, including planners, entrepreneurs, academics, and the general public, who are interested and believe in the potential of urban agriculture to tackle many of the challenges we face today, such as the climate crises. After reading this report, the reader is expected to gain: - A glimpse of the literature on the benefits and drawbacks of growing food in cities. - An understanding of urban agriculture from different perspectives (e.g., municipalities, entrepreneurs, communities, educational institutions). - An overview of opportunities and challenges for implementing agriculture in cities. - Inspiration for alternative urban futures as the stories told in this report carry seeds for change that can assist transitioning our cities to more functional ecosystems.

Abstract (sommario):
The feed-food competition for environmental and economic resources raises increasing concerns about the production and supply of protein for the global livestock sector. Risks to food-security and approaching deadlines for global sustainable development, means exploring the potential for alternative protein feeds is imperative. However, as the use of alternative feeds for livestock production is still at its infancy, it is critical that potential direct or indirect food safety risks are evaluated before implementation at commercial scales. This Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) offers a lens that focuses on the potential opportunities and threats of such alternatives for the sustainability and food safety of the global livestock sector. Four potential alternative protein sources for livestock feeds are identified and evaluated through this REA: genetically modified / engineered protein crops and alternative cultivation methods cellular agriculture former foods, food waste and industry by-products and waste streams animal by-products and insects Through this analysis, a strategic policy roadmap and research agenda are synthesised to facilitate higher-level policy making, supporting local solutions for global sustainable development and a more food-secure future. The four broad directions for policy making and research the REA proposes are: decoupling protein production from fossil fuel developing sustainable economic strategies for alternative proteins at a subnational level supporting circular livestock feed solutions further enhancing the feed and food regulatory system

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Food sovereignty, “the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems,” is often discussed as an alternative political framework and approach to food security (Nyéléni, 2007). Food sovereignty has grown as a countermovement to the growing dominance of industrial agricultural practices, the increasing power of corporations in the global food system, and the convergence of diets towards more imported and processed foods. This explainer explores food sovereignty as a concept and movement, how it differs from the concept of food security, criticisms of the movement, and evolving definitions.

Abstract (sommario):
The Forestry and Agriculture Sector Optimization Model with Greenhouse Gases (FASOMGHG) has historically relied on regional average costs of land conversion to simulate land use change across cropland, pasture, rangeland, and forestry. This assumption limits the accuracy of the land conversion estimates by not recognizing spatial heterogeneity in land quality and conversion costs. Using data from Nielsen et al. (2014), we obtained the afforestation cost per county, then estimated nonparametric regional marginal cost functions for land converting land to forestry. These afforestation costs were then incorporated into FASOMGHG. Three different assumptions for land moving into the forest sector were run; constant average conversion cost, static rising marginal costs and dynamic rising marginal cost, in order to assess the implications of alternative land conversion cost assumptions on key outcomes, such as projected forest area and cropland use, carbon sequestration, and forest product output.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
This paper aims to shed light on the potential interests of developing countries in reforms to domestic support for agriculture in the OECD economies. In order to accomplish this goal, we begin by reviewing the literature on the impacts of domestic support on key variables, including farm income, in the OECD economies themselves. We then proceed to revise the standard GTAP model of global trade, based on recent work at the OECD, in order to permit it to better capture these impacts. A series of stylized simulations are subsequently offered to illustrate the differential impacts of alternative types of domestic support. These suggest the possibility of policy re-instrumentation, whereby farm income is stabilized in the face of cuts to overall support levels by shifting the mix of subsidies away from the more trade-distorting instruments which also tend to be ineffective tools for boosting farm incomes. We then explore in considerable detail the mechanisms by which OECD agricultural reforms affect developing country welfare. The primary channel for such effects works through the terms of trade which in turn depend in part on whether a country is a net exporter or a net importer of the affected OECD products. Long term support for agricultural program commodities in OECD countries, coupled with relative taxation in many developing countries, has left the latter increasingly dependent on imports of these subsidized products. This has, in turn, made them more vulnerable to agricultural reforms that raise these prices. As a result, we find that an across-the-board, 50% cut in all domestic support for OECD agriculture leads to welfare losses for most of the developing regions, as well as for the combined total group of developing countries. The 50% cut in domestic support also results in large declines in farm incomes in Europe, and, to a lesser degree, North America. This makes such a reform package an unlikely political event. An alternative approach to reforming agricultural policies in the OECD would be to focus on broad-based reductions in market price support. This has already been occurring in the EU, in particular, where domestic support has increasingly replaced border measures. As demonstrated in this paper, the basic economic principles of agricultural support policies suggest that a shift from market price support to land-based payments could generate a “win-win” outcome whereby farm incomes are maintained and world price distortions are reduced. This is the direction charted by the OECD in its recent “Positive Reform Agenda” for agriculture. We formally examine such an agricultural reform scenario, implementing a 50% cut in market price support for OECD agriculture, with a compensating set of land payments designed to maintain farm income in each of the member economies. This comprehensive reform scenario results in increased welfare for most developing countries, with gains on other commodities offsetting the terms of trade losses from higher program crop prices. We conclude that developing countries will be well advised to focus their efforts on improved market access to the OECD economies, while permitting these wealthy economies to continue – indeed even increase – domestic support payments. Provided these increased domestic support payments are not linked to output or variable inputs, the trade-distorting effects are likely to be small, and they can be a rather effective way of offsetting the potential losses that would otherwise be sustained by OECD farmers. This type of policy re-instrumentation will increase the probability that such reforms will be deemed politically acceptable in the OECD member economies, while simultaneously increasing the likelihood that such reforms will also be beneficial to the developing economies.
