Disentangling farmers’ perspectives on agri-environment-climate measures through ex-post assessment
Understanding farmers’ perspectives on the voluntary measures within the Common Agricultural Policy is crucial for promoting sustainable agricultural practices. An ex-post policy assessment aims to understand farmers’ perceptions regarding agri-environment-climate measures (AECMs). This study used Q methodology, applied to Flanders (Belgium), and found four farmer archetypes characterised by their perceptions towards AECMs: ecological optimists, …
Economic effects of drought on agriculture
Prioritising humanitarian aid funding for multi-risk disasters in an era of climatic damage
The intersection of multi-risk disasters is a wicked problem for resource prioritisation. How do we effectively allocate funding to humanitarian aid when disasters compound and cascade with natural and human-made hazards – especially with climatic and non-climatic factors? Our research builds on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recommendation to use multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to examine this. For the first time, s…

Could the new eco schemes replace the long-known agri-environmental measures? Evidence from two labeled discrete choice experiments
In the context of the most recent reform of the European Common Agricultural Policy (2023–2027), new voluntary environment-friendly measures have been introduced. These measures, termed eco-schemes, represent one-year arrangements with limited restrictions. They are, therefore, considered to be more flexible than the revised and more demanding agri-environment-climate measures (AECM). The introduction of the new eco-schemes, alongside the AECM, r…

What do urban consumers want? Findings from a discrete choice experiment on the preference for locally produced staple food in Central Africa
A discrete choice experiment in Kinshasa (DRC) investigated urban consumers' preferences between imports and local options for five staple foods – cassava, rice, maize, sugar and cooking oil – under a random utility model. We also examined how distance, packaging and price influenced consumer choice. To assess whether preferences could be manipulated, we introduced two treatment groups – local, import – and a control group. We did not find suppor…
Factors influencing business model change
Purpose This paper proposes a theoretical framework for the comprehensive study of business model (BM) change by taking different types of influencing factors and different levels of analysis into account (business, industry and macro-environment). Design/methodology/approach Evaluation of the added value of using the combination of three existing frameworks (the business model canvas (Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010), Porter’s five forces framewor…

Economic indices of by-products utilization and forage production in semi-arid rangelands
One of the most basic criteria in documenting rangeland use prospects is the recognition of byproducts and their economic appraisal. The current study was conducted to assess the economic indices of exploiting byproduct production in Shahindej, Northwest Iran. For this purpose, 24 by-product-generating species were selected in 114 locations that belong to 49 rangeland units. The total expected value of 24 by-product generating species yield and f…

Climate Variable Choice in Ricardian Studies of European Agriculture
Le modèle ricardien a été fréquemment utilisé pour étudier l’impact du changement climatique sur l’agriculture européenne. Cet article contribue à cette littérature en utilisant les données de panel sur les régions du RICA et la période 2004-2012, et en tenant compte à la fois de l’hétérogénéité individuelle et de l’autocorrélation spatiale entre les régions de l’Union européenne. Nous avons testé trois hypothèses liées au modèle des degrés-jours…

Food miles to assess sustainability
Sustainability assessment is an essential process in our aim to reach a more sustainable production and consumption pattern. This research revises the food miles concept as a guiding tool to assess sustainability. Food miles measure the distance that food travels from where it is grown or raised to where it is consumed. Three different concepts to assess sustainability are described: (i) food miles, (ii) enhanced food miles, (iii) food chain sust…

Social risk screening using a socio-political ambiguity approach
While ecological sustainability of organic agriculture (OA) has been frequently investigated, there are limited studies on its social sustainability, especially in developing countries. Given significant benefits of OA, screening the potential social risks associated with OA seems necessary. This paper introduces a socio-political ambiguity approach based on a hybrid model of ‘risk and social impact assessment’ for screening the risks of OA. As a…

The idea of weak sustainability is illegitimate
Since the introduction of the sustainability challenge, scientists disagree over the interpretation of the term ''sustainability.'' Weak and strong sustainability are the two main interpretations of sustainability, which are opposing each other. Some researchers stated that the interpretation of the term depends on the context; others disagree pointing out that it always implies the meaning of continuation. The term ''sustainability'' can be used…

Adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers toward climate change
The global climate is changing, and farmers must increase their adaptive capacity to avoid negative impacts. This study aimed to examine the adaptive capacity of farmers’ household to tolerate climate changes and identify factors affecting the climate in Hamadan province, Iran. The adaptive capacity was evaluated quantitatively by using 23 indicators and was categorized into high, moderate, low, and very low adaptive capacity. The study was based…
