Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) plays a vital role in addressing environmental, economic, and social challenges within resource-intensive industries such as dairy production. Despite growing global interest sustainability, the Baltic region—particularly Lithuania—remains underexplored terms of localized SSCM frameworks. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying prioritizing sustainability indicators relevant Lithuanian companies, using Best-Worst Method (BWM), multi-criteria...

This article presents insights into the efficiency of Lithuanian family farms. The research covers years 2004–2009 and is based on farm-level Farm Accountancy Data Network data. Bootstrapped data envelopment analysis was employed to obtain scores, whereas stochastic kernels multivariate methods, viz. fuzzy clustering nonparametric regression, were utilized assess impact selected determinants efficiency. Clustering indicated that change paths specific for analyzed sample differed in both...

The changes in farm structure have been observed Lithuania as well other Central and Eastern European countries. These changes, to a high extent, driven by decreasing profitability of the small farms. In this paper, we look into Lithuanian family farms across different size groups. Farm is measured terms standard output. period covered 2005–2016. index decomposition analysis model Shapley value are adapted for analysis. proposed framework ensures complete among desirable properties. was...

China has experienced an uninterrupted growth of grain output during the past decade. However, a long-term analysis indicates fluctuations in productivity and levels, as well dramatic shifts crop mix regional distribution. This paper, therefore, re-examines major factors behind dynamics China’s production over period 1978–2013. The Index Decomposition Analysis technique, facilitated by means Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index, is employed to factorize changes into four effects, i.e., yield...

Organic and integrated farming practices contribute to protecting biodiversity, reducing environmental pollution, improving soil quality, providing high-quality raw material for food industry.The objective of the article is establish methodology evaluate system indicators, which enables answering question practice has more advantages: organic or integrated?Multi-criteria analysis methods were used achieve this objective.When being compared with between conventional practices, achieves higher...

Abstract This paper presents a methodology for flood risk mapping as envisaged by the Directive on Assessment and Management of Flood Risks [Directive 2007/60/EC]. Specifically, we aimed at identifying types damage that can be estimated given data availability in Lithuania. Furthermore, present main sources associated cost functions. The covers following threats: to inhabitants, economic activity, social risk. A multi-criteria framework aggregation different risks is proposed provide...

The aim of this research is to propose a methodology for integrated assessment financial risks family farms in Lithuania.The based on the benefit doubt model.The relies farm-level data from Farm Accountancy Data Network and covers period 2004-2011.Multiple indicators are included model encompass such features as returns, capital structure, cost capital, cash flows.The focuses four main types farming prevailing Lithuania, viz.cereal farming, general field cropping, dairying, mixed crops...

Scientists, politicians, and practitioners are debating the current structure of pig farms in Lithuania, as medium small have almost disappeared over past decade. The debated problem is whether revitalization would sustainably contribute to self-sufficiency pork production. Therefore, this research aims determine which terms size could offer best prospect for Lithuania. In order achieve aim, multicriteria evaluation method TOPSIS (Technique Order Preference by Similarity an Ideal Solution)...

The paper aims to analyse the main driving forces behind changes in milk revenue Lithuania during 1993–2013 by virtue of index decomposition analysis. Specifically, an model based upon Shapley value is introduced account for dynamics endogenous and exogenous factors underlying revenue. Particularly, number cows, average yield, market integration, composition, price are considered as causing variation country level data used Results show that such practices animal recording application...

A new United Nations sustainable development Agenda underlines the relevance of Organic farming development. In same line Government Republic Lithuania seeks to create economically efficient and competitive agriculture, based on low environmental impact farming, develop organic high quality certified agricultural food production, conserve natural resources. Transition faces main difficulty, which is formulated as a scientific problem: how reconcile economic political interests? This research...

The focus on environment and climate-friendly farming is increasingly important in the European Union (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Activities of Measure M10 “Agri-environment Climate” Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014–2020 were those policy instruments that pursued environmental climate goals over large areas under agricultural activities, but their effectiveness still being questioned. After evaluating implementation successes failures activities Lithuanian RDP 2014–2020, we...
