Book excerpt: This report is a congressionally mandated review of the US Department of Agriculture's Research, Education, and Economics (REE) mission area, the main engine of publicly funded agricultural research in the United States. A changing social and scientific context of agriculture requires a new vision of agricultural research-one that will support agriculture as a positive economic, social, and environmental force. REE is uniquely positioned to advance new research frontiers in environment, public health, and rural communities. The report recommends that REE be more anticipatory and strategic in its use of limited resources and guide and champion new directions in research.

This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issue of efficiency has come to be one of the most areas of interest, especially in developing countries. Given scanty resource endowment and limited technology dream of growth in less developed countries could be achieved by enhancing the efficiency of production. In chapter one of this book, basic concepts of efficiency, types of efficiency models and their pros and cons are briefly discussed. More importantly, due attention is devoted to model specification of stochastic frontier model. Chapter two deals with the empirical review of researches done on efficiency, mainly using stochastic frontier model. Last but not least, chapter 3 focuses on illustrating the theory and model discussed in the former chapters with case study. Hence, in this chapter, case study on the application of stochastic frontier model on wheat producing areas of Amhara region, Ethiopia, is presented very briefly.

Download or read book Technical efficiency of smallholder farms in Nigeria written by Kolawole Ogundari and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is based on three essays with a focus on the technical efficiency of smallholder farms in Nigeria. The overall objective of the research is to contribute to the existing literature on the efficiency and productivity of Nigerian agriculture. The first essay examined the development and drivers of the average technical efficiency in Nigerian agriculture based on 64 efficiency studies covering 1999-2008. The second essay went on to further identify the trends in crop diversification while examining its impact on the technical efficiency of smallholder farms in Nigeria. Last but not least, the third essay investigated technical efficiency, inputs substitution and their complementary effects using an output distance function while focusing on cassava production in Nigeria. The second and third essays are based on unbalanced panel data of 846 observations covering three farming season (2006/07-2008/09) from southwestern Nigeria via the application of the stochastic frontier analysis. In summary, the research found that average technical efficiency significantly increased over time across the 64 frontier studies in the country. Besides, the study observed that technical progress characterized food crop production in the country while the mean technical efficiency reported from each of the essays that make up the dissertation showed that there is still room for improvement in Nigerian food crop production as each estimate falls below the frontier level. Furthermore, the research revealed that cropping pattern increased significantly with the intensification of diversification in food crop production in the country. In addition, the study identifies education, credit, extension contacts and crop diversification among others as key drivers of technical efficiency in Nigerian food crop production. In light of this, the research concludes that the latter observation underscores the importance of education, credit and extension contacts as variables of policy concern for the institutions of public and private policies design to reposition the Nigerian food crop production industry in order to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of food security.

This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs different parametric and non-parametric panel data models which have been used in history of developed panel data efficiency measurement literature. It assesses the differences of models based on characteristics and efficiency scores measurement using a systematic sensitivity analysis of the results. On the whole twelve parametric and four nonparametric models were studied. Parametric models are classified in four groups in terms of the assumptions made on the temporal behavior of inefficiency. A common issue among all the parametric models is that inefficiency is individual producer-specific. This is consistent with the notion of measuring the efficiency of decision-making units. Non-parametric models are divided into partial and full frontier models. A main contribution of this volume is that it helps to understand differences between parametric and non-parametric models. On empirical part of the volume, technical efficiency of two agricultural strategic crops (cotton and sugar beet) in different provinces of the Iran are analyzed. Using different models, the most efficient and inefficient provinces in cotton and sugar beet production of Iran are recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new insights into the ongoing agricultural transformation in Africa. Presenting case studies, macro-level simulations, and relevant surveys, it analyzes food crops and agri-food policy challenges and their implications in various African countries. In addition, it discusses how current African agri-food policies could be improved to achieve the continental vision of sustainable development in light of the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The respective contributions address topics such as drivers of technical efficiency among smallholder maize farmers; farm management practices; agri-food infrastructure policies; food security; agricultural growth; and financing for and investment in agricultural production. Accordingly, the book appeals to scholars of economics and agricultural studies and to anyone interested in the agricultural transformation of Africa.

Book excerpt: The study entails statistical analysis to examine growth of output, its components and its determinants in two widely disparate agriculture systems, one facing considerable water scarcity and dominated by non food grains (Gujarat) but showing very high farm sector growth and the other water abundant but primarily a foodgrain agriculture economy (West Bengal) facing stagnancy in output.
