The number of participants in the control group should be twice as many as that of the treatment group to ensure a higher number of matched samples. Consequently, the target number of study participants was 1152. Data from the DCP and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development were used during the pilot testing of the …

As a consequence, farming systems address multiple and sometimes competing objectives like increasing production, improving the quality of farmers’ livelihoods, and enhancing environmental sustainability. In trying to meet these objectives, farming systems in Europe are facing an increasingly broad range of environmental, economic, social and institutional challenges . Operating in this complex environment requires stakeholders …
The large variation in the selling price of guinea fowl observed depended on the region and period of the year. In southern Benin, guinea fowl was more expensive due to the proximity to the urban centers and the low availability of the birds in this region. As for Northern Benin, the reluctance of farmers to …
The concentration of TA was correlated with the CO2 flux in both months , suggesting the impact of CaCO3 dissolution/ precipitation. This situation was complex when we found that the correlations were positive in March but negative in April. The rapid increase in TA and decrease in pH with time in March , along with …
The objective of our study was to assess the impact of farming systems on soil quality in vegetable fields, focusing on the soil nematode community as an indicator of the soil food-web. We compared nematode communities in vegetable fields with extensively managed grasslands that do not receive any fertilizer and plant protection products.Due to the agricultural …

For example, it seems that also in other countries, especially in combination with other factors, markets play a vital role particularly in some regions, dairy farming is connected to some organic concentrations, and subsidies can effectively increase organic farming in certain areas. Therefore, same political approach to increase organic farming does not necessarily work for …

Our ultimate goal is to establish an optimal classification metrics set that is suitable for the study area through these steps.In this study, Landsat-5 TM SR data were chosen to establish spectral and index metrics sets for 1990, 2001, and 2010, while the Landsat-8 OLI SR data were used to develop spectral and index metrics sets …
Mainstreaming of organic agriculture in the public, pushed by green policies and NGO activities, continues to play an important role in its success, promoting empathy for and trust in organic certification schemes. Lastly, organic products are more profitable for farmers, while consumers, not governments, pay for most of the premium prices. However, there are also …

Through scientific improvement of land productivity and labor productivity to ensure a long-term and stable increase in food production capacity and strengthen the base to cope with the uncertainties of global climate change. 3) Enhancing social benefit is the emphasis of SICLU. It requires increasing attention to social issues and human welfare brought by the …
The first alternative system is the semi-intensive system. The main goal in this system is to improve the provision of private goods, i.e. increased meat production and improved labor conditions. Several enabling conditions at farm level were identified to reach this end . This alternative system would fit better in the southernmost and flat areas where …
