The capacity of the food system to respond economic, demographic and environmental challenges ahead has become a topic increasing interest, with particular attention roles responsibilities different actors ensure more sustainable systems that can guarantee nutrition security for all. In this paper we approach need better understand factors condition potential contribution small farms regional in Europe, acknowledging role play Europe at present. analysis is based on survey 94 experts from 17...
• Outcomes of 13 participatory foresight workshops are compared. Small farms' and businesses' contribution to food security is important in three the four considered scenarios. Concerns on small farms businesses relate broader rural setting. Weak collective action will hamper adaptive capacity farms.
Globalisation compels firms to undertake internationalisation strategies in different ways. Recent research explains that part of a firm's international potential depends upon its networks. Technology centres play key role these networks: they belong the territorial innovation system and supply knowledge-intensive services. The empirical evidence contained here shows positive association between use services provided by technology exportation, especially case operating R&D-intensive sectors.
Artificial vision is a powerful observation tool for research in the field of livestock production. So, based on search and recognition colour spots images, digital image processing system which permits detection position piglets farrowing pen, was developed. To this end, 24,000 images were captured over five takes (days), with five-second interval between every other image. The nine litter marked their backs sides different coloured spray paints each one, placed at considerable distance RGB...
In several Spanish regions, collective action through production and marketing cooperatives has traditionally concentrated the food supply of small medium-sized farms. However, many are threatened by risk abandonment members' cropland, which reduces their sourcing capacity. this context, joint cropland management initiatives have become a useful form social organizational innovation. This research's contribution is twofold: it examines relevance some drivers innovation, determines...
This article identifies the web technologies adoption pattern of agri-food industries considering a set characteristics which include location, economic performance and previous history adopting innovations. Our main results highlight that, together with certain firm characteristics, rural locations act as an accelerator for technology, compared to slower rate in urban areas.
Farmland abandonment is common in the southern EU countries. This complex phenomenon has a set of interlinked causes and consequences, among latter undermining farmers' cooperatives role as supply aggregators. The paper discusses multi-actor farmland consolidation model that avoids some drawbacks identified by literature to models land mobilization, mostly transaction agency costs. consists on local-based strategy management, led cooperative supported external agents. As empirical evidences,...
Abstract The measures of border protection applied by the European Union (EU) to imports fruits and vegetables (FV) are complex usually not well represented in trade models, only because range instruments still constraining trade, but also product differentiation seasonality these products. This article assesses impact eliminating entry price (EP) constraints a group FV proposed model is partial equilibrium nature takes into account. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, clementines, table grapes....
Abstract Food safety concerns about the risk of aflatoxin (AF) contamination have been growing in many regions, particularly European Union (EU). To protect consumers from health risks, EU has established strict standards for maximum acceptable AF levels food products; these changed several times. This article examines Rapid Alert System and Feed (RASFF) database, which contains notifications on border controls tree nuts peanuts. A count data model was used to analyze impact political...
Abstract This study stems from a participatory foresight exercise conducted in nine Mediterranean, Baltic, Nordic and Eastern European regions, aiming to strengthen the role of small farms food businesses ensuring security. A wide range stakeholders participated by attending workshops. They represented farmers’ organisations, businesses, consumers’ NGOs, researchers, extension services, professional groups, administration public bodies. The actions proposed participants are scanned...
The complexity of the Euro-Mediterranean trade liberalisation is difficult to represent in models because range instruments still constraining as well special characteristics major traded fruits and vegetables (product differentiation seasonality). This paper proposes a model assess impact fresh tomato market, taking into account measures that are defined on seasonal basis, such tariff-rate quotas entry prices. Simulations carried out monthly periods. considers imports from different sources...
The significance of and interest in non-tariff measures (NTMs) have increased as a consequence the reduction agricultural tariffs. This paper analyses relationship between NTMs tariffs southern Mediterranean countries (SMCs) through two complementary analyses. First, authors construct taxonomy protection for products, distinguishing high protection, transparent low disguised protection. category is most widely represented, also important. Second, policy substitution hypothesis tariff tested....
The EU's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed provides information on sanitary phytosanitary (SPS) notifications. With a set of data from the 1998-2013 period, we test hypothesis that past notifications can determine current This is "reputation effect", meaning inspectors may tend to target products or countries with previous SPS problems. We analyze scope reputation effect over time. used two count models estimate distribution In line literature, our findings indicate does affect EU...
The EU protects some of its fruits and vegetables through the entry price system. This system consists on a two-tiered tariff, with high-priced exports paying an ad valorem whereas low-priced pay also supplementary specific tariff. breaking point between high low export prices is level decided by EU, generally same for all third countries. In few cases, Southern Mediterranean partners have agreed reduced their exports, together more common tariff reduction. Among indicators used gauge value...
El presente estudio analiza el clima motivacional tras la implementación de dos Unidades Didácticas baloncesto en Educación Secundaria, una a través del modelo Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) y otra mediante un planteamiento metodológico tradicional, ambas aplicadas 3º ESO asignatura Física. Las personas participantes fueron total 73 (36 alumnas). De ellas 39 conformaron grupo experimental 34 control. Se empleó diseño cuasi-experimental con grupos control (modelo tradicional) (TGfU)....
