Modeling how and why aquatic vegetation removal can free rural households from poverty-disease traps
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:arx:papers:2401.17384&r=agr
Infectious disease can reduce labor productivity and incomes, trapping subpopulations in a vicious cycle of ill health and poverty. Efforts to boost African farmers' agricultural production through fertilizer use can inadvertently promote the growth of aquatic vegetation that hosts disease vectors. Recent trials established that removing aquatic vegetation habitat for snail intermediate hosts reduces schistosomiasis infection rates in children, while converting the harvested vegetation into compost boosts agricultural productivity and incomes. Our model illustrates how this ecological intervention changes the feedback between the human and natural systems, potentially freeing rural households from poverty-disease traps. We develop a bioeconomic model that interacts an analytical microeconomic model of agricultural households' behavior, health status and incomes over time with a dynamic model of schistosomiasis disease ecology. We calibrate the model with field data from northern Senegal. We show analytically and via simulation that local conversion of invasive aquatic vegetation to compost changes the feedbacks among interlinked disease, aquatic and agricultural systems, reducing schistosomiasis infection and increasing incomes relative to the current status quo, in which villagers rarely remove vegetation. Aquatic vegetation removal disrupts the poverty-disease trap by reducing habitat for snails that vector the infectious helminth and by promoting production of compost that returns to agricultural soils nutrients that currently leach into surface water from on-farm fertilizer applications. The result is healthier people, more productive labor, cleaner water, more productive agriculture, and higher incomes.

Potential unexpected effects of meat reduction in diet: Could educational attainment influence meat substitution strategies?
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-04426863&r=agr
Abstract Regulation of meat consumption appears to be a relevant public policy to limit diet-related greenhouse gas emissions. However, the real impact of such a policy (e.g., tax) on human health and nutrition remains uncertain, especially for underprivileged individuals. Based on representative data from France, we estimate potential trend differences in the association between meat consumption and nutritional outcomes, such as body mass index (BMI) and unhealthy food intake, according to individual educational attainment. We reveal that among adults with low education levels, reduced meat consumption was significantly associated with a higher BMI, a higher risk of being overweight, and greater intake of ultra-processed foods, sweet drinks, and sugar. By contrast, reduced meat consumption was associated with healthier nutritional status for the most educated individuals. These results are robust to several measurements of socioeconomic status (SES) such as household income, occupation, and financial insecurity perception. In summary, high-SES individuals may be more prone to replace meat with healthy alternatives, whereas low-SES individuals may tend to replace meat with energy-dense foods and beverages, including ultra-processed foods. In terms of the contribution to science and society, this study is the first to show that SES changes the relationship between meat consumption and nutritional outcomes. Our findings call for future research on this topic to provide actionable recommendations to implement a fair and healthy food transition.

From promises to action: Analyzing global commitments on food security and diets since 2015
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:fpr:ifprid:2238&r=agr
Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2), Zero Hunger, by 2030 is in jeopardy due to slowing and unequal economic growth, climate shocks, the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict, lackluster efforts toward investing in food system sustainability and agricultural productivity growth, and persistent barriers to open food trade. Nevertheless, numerous commitments to achieving SDG 2 have been repeatedly expressed by Heads of State and Ministers at diverse global meetings since the SDGs became a focus in 2015. To identify the intensity and degree of convergence of commitments that national governments have collectively made to realizing SDG 2, this paper provides a qualitative assessment of statements from more than 68 global meetings and 107 intergovernmental commitment documents since 2015. Analyzing these commitments against seven critical factors necessary for impact at scale, we find that stated intentions to solve the global food security and hunger challenge have become more pronounced at global meetings over time, especially in the wake of the crises. However, the intent to act is not consistently matched by commitments to specific actions that could help accelerate reductions in hunger. For instance, while increased financing is often recognized as a priority to reach SDG 2, few commitments in global fora relate to detailed costing of required investments. Similarly, many commitment statements lack specificity regarding what and how policy interventions should be scaled up for greater action on SDG 2 or the ways to enhance different stakeholders’ capacities to implement them. While horizontal coherence was mentioned across most global fora, it was only present in about half of the commitment statements, with even less recognition of the necessity for vertical coherence from global to local levels. Despite global acknowledgement of the importance of accountability and monitoring, usually by way of progress reports, we find few consequences for governments that do not act on commitments made in global fora. We discuss the implications of these findings and offer recommendations for how to strengthen the commitment-making process to help accelerate actions that can reduce food insecurity and hunger and augment the legitimacy of global meetings. This work can inform the policy advocacy community focused on SDG 2 and those engaged in catalyzing and supporting intergovernmental action on other SDGs. Our findings reiterate the importance of attention to global governance and the political economy of global meetings—which is necessary to strengthen our focus on delivering outcomes that put the world on a path that brings the solution to the problems of global hunger and food insecurity within reach.

Who Takes the Land? Quantifying the Use of Built-Up Land by French Economic Sectors to Assess Their Vulnerability to the ‘No Net Land Take’ Policy
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:bfr:banfra:941&r=agr
In 2021, the French Parliament passed a law aiming for "No net land take" (NNLT) by 2050, while the rate of land take should be halved by 2031. These objectives are notably justified by the fact that land take, defined as the conversion of agricultural, forest and other semi-natural and natural land into built-up land, causes biodiversity loss and affects soil functions. Because they contribute to land take and use built-up land to produce, economic sectors will likely be affected by this new policy. This paper investigates this exposure. Using cadastral data and geolocated information on French firms, we develop accounts tracing the annual use of built-up land (a stock) and the annual land take (a flow) by economic sectors over 2008-2021. Our results show a strong time-varying sectoral heterogeneity regarding land use and land take, with some sectors (e.g. wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing or accommodation and food services) being significant users of built-up land. Regarding land take, we find that wholesale and retail trade has had the greatest responsibility. Then, we combine these new accounts with additional data and propose a multi-criteria analysis to assess the vulnerability of each sector in a ‘severe but plausible’ scenario of increasing land prices induced by the NNLT policy. Our results show that the sectors contributing most significantly to land take may not necessarily be the most vulnerable because of their relatively higher adaptive capacity.

Testing the GAEZ agronomic model in the fields:Evidence from Uganda
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:may:mayecw:n320-24.pdf&r=agr
The Global Agroecological Zones (GAEZ) model developed by FAO and IIASA provides granular crop-specific expected yields worldwide. An increasing number of papers in economics are using this dataset for a number of different purposes, such as deriving an exogenous source of variations in institutions or to parametrize computable general equilibrium models of trade in agricultural goods. However, as pointed out by the GAEZ creators, its results †should be treated in a conservative manner and at appropriate aggregation levels, which are commensurate with the resolution of the basic data†. In this paper, I †test†the GAEZ predicted yields by comparing them with the ones measured through agricultural surveys †in the fields†. In particular, I use data from two different agricultural surveys in Uganda, where farmers typically grow a multitude of crops. In both instances, I find that GAEZ predictions often correlate negatively with yields, and that farmers’ crop choices are more responsive to survey-based yields than to GAEZ’s predictions. These findings suggest that, at least in the context of Uganda, predicted GAEZ yields fail to make reliable predictions at the granular level.

Food Waste Management via Insect Production in the Perspective of Circular Bioeconomy
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:boh:wpaper:02_2023&r=agr
The amount of different types of waste around the world is growing every year. Especially a growing amount of food waste is in desperate need of better management practices. At the same time, European Union (EU) is striving for becoming the world's first climate-neutral continent which requires immediate solutions for issues like waste management, sustainable production, competitive resource-efficient business models, etc. For achieving these goals, business models fulfilling principles of circular bioeconomy are highly supported by the EU. One of such business models could be the rearing of Black Soldier Larvae (BSF) on various types of biowaste and their use for value-added products like animal feed, fertilizers, biofuel, cosmetic ingredients, etc. This study reviews adopted Bioeconomy strategies and investigates the state of the research and development in the field of BSF rearing through statistical analysis of the available scientific publications, published patents, and established companies in the EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Member states. The results show an exponential increase in all three indicators in the last decade.

The Pick of the Crop: Agricultural Practices and Clustered Networks in Village Economies
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:bge:wpaper:1426&r=agr
This paper studies how social networks (might fail to) shape agricultural practices. We exploit (i) a unique census of agricultural production nested within delineated land parcels and (ii) comprehensive social network data within four repopulated villages of rural Vietnam. In a first step, we extract exogenous variation in network formation from home locations within the few streets that compose each village (populated through staggered population resettlement), and we estimate the return to social links in the adoption of highly-productive crops. We find a large network multiplier, in apparent contradiction with lowadoption rates. In a second step, we study the structure of network formation to explain this puzzle: social networks display large homophily, and valuable links between heterogeneous households are rare. Due to the clustered nature of networks and the dynamic, endogenous propagation of agricultural practices, there are decreasing returns to social links, and policies targeting “inbetweeners” are most able to mitigate this issue.

L’impact de l’inflation sur la distribution des gains de productivité de l’agriculture française
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ies:wpaper:e202403&r=agr
It is imperative to consider the impact of monetary erosion when examining the distribution of productivity gains through variations in the prices of inputs and outputs within the agricultural sector. In this study, we will utilize productivity surplus accounts to comprehensively analyze how monetary erosion affects the allocation of price advantages among stakeholders involved in agricultural production. In light of the current backdrop of resurging general inflation and a reversal in food price trends, we then present an empirical analysis of productivity gains in the French agriculture sector spanning from 1959 to 2022. Our objective is to precisely assess how inflation affects the distribution of the productivity surplus among the various participants in the process, including customers, farmers, suppliers, the government, landowners, financial institutions, and others.

A Cost Assessment of Tree Plantation Failure under Extreme Drought Events in France: What Role for Insurance?
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-03998594&r=agr
Research Highlights: We analyze the costs of plantation failure and evaluate the distribution of replantation costs and risk sharing between the forestry company and the forest owner in France. Background and Objectives: Due to the lack of a clear definition of drought, forestry companies are increasingly considered as liable for plantation failure, increasing their costs and leading to financial instability. In this context, this paper aims to address the following questions. In the case of plantation failure, is it less costly to replant, not replant, or restart the whole plantation? What is the impact of changing the liability scheme between the company and the forest owner in terms of replantation costs and risk sharing? Materials and Methods: We performed a cost assessment of different itineraries of plantations as a function of different mortality rates. The breakdown of the replantation costs between the company and the forest owner was also investigated. Results: No replanting is the least expensive option for the forest owner, followed by replanting and then by starting the whole plantation anew. Reducing the company's liability is an interesting option to reduce its exposure to risk. Conclusions: Modifications of the company's liability allows for the inclusion of private insurance contracts against plantation failure.

Decomposing the Inflation Response to Weather-Related Disasters
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:bfr:banfra:935&r=agr
This paper provides empirical evidence on the compositional effect of weather-related disasters on consumer prices. We combine data on monthly granular inflation for 12 CPI product categories with data on extreme weather events for four French overseas territories sporadically hit by large weather-related disasters. We find that disasters lead to a maximum rise in consumer prices of 0.5 percent with substantial heterogeneity in the price response. An immediate strong surge in the prices of food, and notably of fresh products, is partially offset by a decline in the prices of manufactured products and services. The effects of weather-related disasters dissipate after four months and differ along the income distribution, notably raising inflation for low-income households by more. Price controls dampen the price response on impact, but lead to similar adjustments in the price level after six months.

Los vinos de alta gama clásicos en España
http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:seh:wpaper:2401&r=agr
This chapter first studies the emergence of the first wineries producing premium wines in Spain in the second half of the 19th century. It then follows the evolution of this type of production during a period in which it did not manage to expand appreciably and which lasted until approximately the seventies of the twentieth century. Finally, the definitive consolidation of premium wines since the 1980s is examined. Special attention is paid to explaining how, during much of the period analyzed, neither the domestic nor the foreign market was favorable to the production of quality wines. In this context, the extraordinary adventure of a handful of innovators who did not settle for what was already in place and explored new avenues in winemaking stands out. The French influence on them, through various channels, has been highlighted.
