Opportunity costs of rewetting agriculturally used organic soils in Germany
Rewetting organic soils used in agriculture to lower GHG emissions makes current land use practices impossible, leading to costs that go beyond the technical aspects of rewetting. Farmers have to forgo the profits that could be achieved with the drained use of organic soils. We estimate these costs at the municipal level based on a crop-type map generated using remote sensing technologies, combined with short-term standard gross margins and long-…
Economy-wide implications of increasing school enrolment in Sub-Saharan Africa
Climate protection or agricultural production site? How political actors frame the future use of German peatlands
Drained peatlands are a major source of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. To eliminate a large proportion of these emissions, they need to be rewetted, which requires substantial change in land use. Respective plans are causing conflict between stakeholders and are subject of a political debate. This article analyses frames in the debate on the future use of currently drained peatlands in Germany by studying public textual communi…
EU agriculture under an import stop for food and feed
Recent disruptions in international trade have had significant impacts on consumers and producers worldwide and stemmed from various reasons. This study aims to identify key vulnerabilities in EU agriculture by examining an import stop on food and feed products. By conducting this stylised simulation using a global PE model (CAPRI), the authors analyse the adjustment mechanisms within the sector, investigate regional differences within the EU and…
Enabling free movement but restricting domestic policy space? The price of mutual recognition
Free movement of goods within the EU is guaranteed via mutual recognition: any product lawfully produced in one member state must also be accepted in all other member states. While unleashing economic benefits from trade without regulatory barriers, mutual recognition potentially limits member states' ability to address societal concerns with regard to production conditions. This hypothesis is addressed via the case of farm animal welfare in Germ…
Does agricultural structural change lead to a weakening of the sector’s social functions? – A case study from north-west Germany
The ongoing shift towards fewer and larger farms is perceived negatively and is often associated with adverse social impacts for rural communities throughout Europe. Empirical evidence on the social functions of agriculture and how these are fulfilled is fragmented. Implications of agricultural structural change for the social dimensions of agricultural multifunctionality have thus remained poorly understood. Addressing this research gap, this pa…
Cashew processing in Ghana – A case for infant industry support
West Africa produces almost half of the world's cashew nuts. With the domestic cashew processing industry still in its infancy, however, most of it is exported as raw material and processed in India and Vietnam. In Ghana, this is provoking discussions about market interventions to support domestic processing. Since different price policies have diverging implications for farmers and processors, the choice of the policy instrument leads to conflic…
Trade policy in a sovereign Palestinian State
This paper quantifies the economy‐wide effects of different trade policies on the Palestinian economy, using a detailed database and a general equilibrium model adjusted to the particularities of the Palestinian economy. The findings show that a liberal and non‐discriminatory trade regime provides the highest benefits for the Palestinian economy, in terms of welfare effects, GDP growth and job creation. The choice of an exchange rate regime has a…

Wachsen oder weichen!? Eine Analyse der agrarstrukturellen Debatte im Kontext der EU-Agrarpolitik nach 2020
Die Zahl landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe in Deutschland und Europa nimmt ab und ihre durchschnittliche Größe zu. Besteht Anlass für eine stärkere Unterstützung kleinerer Betriebe? Agrarpolitische Interessensgruppen deuten den Größenstrukturwandel unterschiedlich und ziehen verschiedene politische Schlussfolgerungen.Structural changes in agriculture are frequently considered problematic. Concerns are expressed about the declining number of farms and…
Who with Whom in Biofuel Policy? Coalitions in the Media Discourse on Liquid Biofuels in Germany
Politically driven, Germany’s biofuel sector has developed extremely fast in the last two decades. This development was favoured by a very successful presence of the beneficiaries of that support policy ‐ namely, the biofuel industry, German farmers and the agribusiness ‐ in the media.Amongst renewable energies, the use of biomass for fuel production is certainly one of the most controversially discussed forms. Although biofuels have been critici…
Fertilizer supply chain in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, less than 40% of farmers use fertilizer and those who do, apply rates significantly below those recommended. This low fertilizer use is primarily due to prices being two to three times higher than prices on the world markets. Reducing the price of fertilizer requires a sound understanding of the product ́s supply chain. This study investigates whether fertilizer is delivered to farmers in an efficient way and at the lowest possible c…
