The mirage of research and research expertise
This article offers critical reflections on the process of leading Horizon Europe research bids, drawing from the authors’ experiences with two funded projects: GRASS CEILING and SafeHabitus. It highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by multi‐actor research, which brings together researchers, policymakers, stakeholders and end users. We discuss strategies for developing and managing these partnerships, including approaches to parti…
Is presence of children or youth a farm workplace injury risk factor on Irish farms
1. Introduction, This paper describes identifying a farm workplace injury risk factor associated with the presence of children/ youth on Irish farms. Under Irish safety , health and welfare at work legislation a person in the age category of 0-18 years old or still at school are considered a child or young person. However, as the UN defines youth as persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years, this definition related to youth age is used in this …
Do social influences, awareness, or experience matter? Toward a better understanding of Farm-related Injury Risk Perception among agricultural science college students in Ireland
Introduction Formal farm safety education/training should be tailored, in terms of the approach, content and delivery, to students undertaking agriculture education and training to enhance Farm-related Injury Risk Perception (FIRP). To this end, this paper assesses factor(s) explaining or predicting levels of FIRP amongst students studying for a degree in agriculture science. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with a nationally…
Continuity, change and new ways of being
Farming occupations are, in the Global North, generally solitary, and a growing body of research identifies this as one of the factors that underpins low levels of wellbeing and poor mental health amongst farmers. The primary public health response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic focused on reducing transmission of the virus by limiting interactions of people. This article seeks to assess the impact of these restrictions on fa…
Putting social into agricultural sustainability
The measurement of societal wellbeing has moved beyond gross domestic product and has emerged as an important factor within the paradigm of holistic sustainability assessment, including agricultural sustainability. At this juncture, knowledge gaps exist between agricultural policy priorities and data infrastructure to evaluate social sustainability issues, particularly regarding farmer sustainability. This study aims to address this gap through t…
You have to keep it going
A transition to a more sustainable food production system in Europe has significant implications for the social constitution of rural spaces. Moreover, research has highlighted that engagement with sustainability initiatives can be affected by people's desire to maintain aspects of their current social realities pertaining to occupations, traditions and lifestyles. Farmers are central to a sustainable agricultural transition, yet are also sociall…
Mental health, societal expectations and changes to the governance of farming
Contemporary EU agricultural policies place a significant emphasis on current and future societal issues, e.g. climate, biodiversity, animal welfare, and air and water quality amongst others. The governance of farming practices has changed in order to deliver on these expectations resulting in increasingly specific regulations to ensure their delivery. For male farmers these developments have the potential to undermine their autonomy as a 'good f…
The spatiotemporal dimension of population change in Ireland
Population shrinkage has gained attention from academics and policymakers in recent years, due to the long-term implications the phenomenon has for public service delivery and the viability of urban and rural communities. We visualise the socio-temporal evolution of population shrinkage and growth, utilising a spatially rectified dataset containing population data from seven Census of Population covering the 1986–2016 period in the Republic of Ir…
“That’s Me I am the Farmer of the Land”
Compared to other occupational groups, farmers in Ireland experience a disproportionate burden of health problems, which impact farmers’ livelihoods and farming sustainability. Internationally, farmers’ poor health outcomes are associated with intersecting economic, environmental, socio-cultural, and occupation-specific factors linked to changes in agricultural governance. This qualitative study explored the challenges and stressors facing farmer…

Disciplining the State
The Path to Sustained Growth
This book, by E.A. Wrigley, one of Britain’s leading economic historians, develops and extends the author’s earlier work, Energy and the English Industrial Revolution (2010; rev. ante, cxxviii [2013], 628–40). It is more than a second edition, however, as it delves deeper into the arguments, incorporates some of the most recent research and opens up new topics, such as the decline of proto-industry as revealed by the 1831 census. The time period …
The development of a national typology for High Nature Value farmland in Ireland based on farm-scale characteristics
Capitalism
To write a history of capitalism of any length is a formidable task, yet Jürgen Kocka succeeds in packing a wealth of information, ideas and argument into a short space, helped by a lucid style and Jeremiah Riemer’s excellent translation. His insightful analysis weaves together the big picture and close detail to explain the rise and development of capitalism today from its distant origins. Drawing on the extensive literature on capitalism, but p…
Institutions, Innovation and Industrialization
This large collection of papers from a conference organised in 2011 to celebrate the 65th birthday of Joel Mokyr comprises essays by his former postgraduate students, including the three editors of this volume (Avner Greif, Lynne Kiesling and John V.C. Nye), former colleagues at Northwestern and various of his co-authors. The contributions are arranged around three core themes in Mokyr’s work: institutions, innovation and industrialisation. Two p…
Predicted distribution of High Nature Value farmland in the Republic of Ireland
High Nature Value (HNV) farmland is typically characterised by low-intensity farming associated with high biodiversity and species of conservation concern. Mapping the occurrence and distribution of such farmland are useful for appropriate targeting of conservation measures and supporting associated rural communities. We mapped the likely distribution of HNV farmland in the Republic of Ireland using a linear regression model incorporating establi…
Markets and Measurements in Nineteenth-Century Britain, by Aashish Velkar
Blood and bone
In mid-nineteenth-century Britain, a new institution emerged: the modern prison. Some prisons invested in scales. Upon entry, prisoners were measured and personal details documented. These meticulously compiled records afford a new vantage point from which we can peer into the dynamics of the household. Body measurements – height, weight, and body mass (weight adjusted for height) – connect to both patterns of consumption and health risk. Prison …
Why Australia Prospered
Ian McLean’s answer to his question is the exploitation of Australia’s natural resources. Although he stresses that it is not his intention to write ‘a comprehensive or balanced account of the historical development of the Australian economy’ and thus ‘many themes or topics that would deserve attention in a general review of Australian economic history will be passed over lightly, or completely ignored’ (p. 3), he rejects the ‘overly reductionist…
The Cambridge History of Capitalism . Volume 1
The definition of capitalism in these volumes is broad. There can be many varieties of ‘capitalism’ and four elements of each variant are identified here: private property rights, contracts enforceable by third parties, markets with responsive prices, and supportive governments. The institutions that support capitalism range from the formal, such as legal systems, to the very informal, including culture and mental attitudes. Although some chapter…
The Cambridge Economic History of Australia
Australia's economic history is the story of the transformation of an indigenous economy and a small convict settlement into a nation of nearly 23 million people with advanced economic, social and political structures. It is a history of vast lands with rich, exploitable resources, of adversity in war, and of prosperity and nation building. It is also a history of human behaviour and the institutions created to harness and govern human endeavour.…
Food and Fodder
As population growth exploded over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, how well did England’s food producers meet the challenge of feeding the people? From the mid eighteenth century, notes of concern sounded from numerous sources that food availability would not match the nutritional needs of a rapidly growing population. Thomas Malthus (1766–1834), mathematician, parson and political economist, lived through this critical period and was un…
In Search of the Industrial Revolution
Australia in the Global Economy
With the global economy in crisis, there is great need for a deeper understanding of Australia's economic place in the world – both today and throughout history. This new edition of Barrie Dyster and David Meredith's highly successful book is fully updated and includes three new chapters covering until the end of 2011. The book explores the evolution of Australia's position in the global economy from the start of the twentieth century through to …

Government and the Decline of the Nigerian Oil-Palm Export Industry, 1919–1939
Between 1900 and 1925 the British Government evolved a policy concerning agricultural development in West Africa by which expatriate-owned plantations, especially for oil palms, were excluded. This prohibition created as many problems as it solved, for the Nigerian Government in particular faced the problem of competition in the international palm-oil and kernel market from plantations in South-east Asia and the Belgian Congo. In the 1920s the Ni…

The Colonial Office, British Business Interests and the Reform of Cocoa Marketing in West Africa, 1937–1945
This article examines the actions of the British Colonial Office and British business interests in the international marketing of cocoa from Ghana and Nigeria in the later 1930s, when problems in cocoa marketing were brought to head by the expatriate firms forming a ‘Pool’ and the farmers responding to this — and to a sudden fall in their terms of trade — with a ‘hold-up’, which was followed by a British commission of inquiry, and during the seco…

Without attempting a serious commentary at this stage, I present two short inscriptions in Greek and Latin, from the Eastern Desert of Egypt. They are from the 1936–7 field notes of the late Dr. H. A. Winkler, author of Rock Drawings of Southern Upper Egypt (1938–9), and are published by courtesy of the Egypt Exploration Society, the Latin on fig. 14, the Greek from Winkler's facsimile which is clear and complete. These two inscriptions come from…

An Old Ethiopic Inscription from the Berenice Road
The late Dr. H. A. Winkler explored parts of the Eastern Desert of Egypt in 1936 and 1937. In his Rock Drawings of Southern Upper Egypt (vol. i, 1938), at his Site 24b, he reported a natural cave shelter in Wādi Menīḥ, in the west rock face (thus ensuring all-day shade). The cave is in the Berenice road, at lat. 25° 37′ N. The cave shelter contains numerous inscriptions of all periods, from primitive rock drawings to hieroglyphic, Graeco-Roman, N…

Australia in the International Economy in the Twentieth Century
Ever since 1788, Australia's economic well being has, for good or ill, been affected by the international economy. The authors trace that relationship from the late nineteenth-century onwards. The book is arranged in four chronological sections: pre-First World War, the inter-war period, from the Second World War to 1959 and Australia since 1960. The opening chapter in each section discusses the international economy during the period, the second…
