| Abstract: | Achieving a "sustainable food future" (the title of one of the three priorities identify by the government of Argentina for the 2018 G20 presidency) requires building food systems that, in line with the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), support growth and employment, ensure social inclusiveness and equity, promote climate resilience and environmental sustainability, protect biodiversity, and generate healthy diets for all. Many policy, institutional, technological and investment innovations are needed to build such food systems. This paper focuses on the financing of the utilization of adequate technologies and innovations in agricultural production, including the ones related to soils, land, water, ecosystems, and, in general, those that have been called Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) or Climate-friendly Sustainable Agriculture (CFSA). It explores several options to mobilize financial resources to support investments in those technologies and sustainable food systems at the scale needed to have some meaningful global impact. In particular, it argues that the creation of a project preparation and financial structuring facility of appropriate scale would help leverage scarce public-sector funds to mobilize the much larger pool of private financial funds that may be interested in participating in these investments but now lack adequately structured projects and investment vehicles to do so. |

| Abstract: | Climate variability (CCV) presents an additional challenge to the agricultural sector and society’s livelihood due its persistent low rainfall and high temperatures. Particularly to face the brunt of climate variability are women smallholder farmers who depend on agricultural production and have limited natural resources to enable them respond to the changing climate. The aim of the study was to investigate smallholder women farmers’ off-farm adaptation strategies to climate variability in the Wa West district in the Upper West region. The study adopted a case study designed method with a population of 187 smallholder farmers. Purposive and multi-stage probability sampling were used to select the communities and women respondents for the study. Questionnaires and interviews were used and data collected was analyzed descriptively using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS).The results of the study indicated that, smallholder women farmers have adopted mixed off-farm adaptation strategies to climate variability. The study recommends a comprehensive and an integrated adaptation program for the agricultural sector with special focus on smallholder women farmers to include education and training of women on diseases and pest control and prevention, access to credit and value chain development for agro-processing business, and access to climate variability information. |

| Abstract: | To achieve improved production levels, farmers need to master new skills and learn to manage and manipulate relevant agricultural information. Information is one of the basic human needs after air, water, food, and shelter and thus could be said to be one of the basic necessities of life. Therefore, how far farmers progress in their farm enterprises depends largely on the availability of and access to accurate and reliable information. This study is to assess dissemination path ways of improved technologies of cassava cultivation and the impact of adoption of these technologies on farm household’s yields, incomes, and food security. With the use of a concurrent mixed method approach, employed in the setting of Nsuta and Wenchi, selected districts in Ghana, the study found that farmers were more eager about accessing agricultural information from various dissemination pathways; predominantly extension agents, farmer fields, radio and demonstrations within their localities. However, access to agricultural information by the cassava farmers in this study setting were constrained by time, cost and cultural barriers. Therefore, the study recommends a sound communication strategy to effectively and quickly disseminate the latest agricultural technologies to farming communities and aid individual farmers in adopting them. |

| Abstract: | The advent of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals has refocused global attention on the roles of business and other nonstate actors in achieving global goals. Often, business involvement takes the form of collaborations with the more traditional actors—governments and non†governmental organizations. Although such partnerships for development have been seen before, the scale and expectations are new. This paper explores how and why these cross†sector collaborations are evolving, and what steps can or should be taken to ensure that partnerships create public and private value. The arguments are illustrated with reference to cases of market†driven partnerships for agriculture in Southeast Asia that are intended to engage marginalized smallholder farmers in global value chains in agriculture. The aims of these cross†sector collaborations coincide with several targets of the Sustainable Development Goals such as poverty alleviation, decreasing environmental impact, and achieving food security. This is a hard case for mechanisms intended to protect public interests, given that the target beneficiaries (low†income smallholder farmers and the environment) are unable to speak effectively for themselves. We find that structures and processes to align interests in ways that protect the public interest are both necessary and feasible, though not easy to achieve. |

| Abstract: | This policy brief argues in favor of a new urban model that harnesses the power that cities have to curb global warming. Such a model tackles fundamental management challenges in the energy, building and transport sectors to promote the growth of diverse and compact cities. Such a model is essential for meeting complex challenges in cities, such as promoting a cohesive social life and a competitive economic base while simultaneously preserving agricultural and natural systems crucial to soil, energy, and material resources. With most of the population living in urban areas, the G20 should recognize the key role that cities play in addressing global challenges such as climate change. Improved measures taken by cities should be an indispensable solution. The G20 Development Working Group, Climate Sustainability Working Group, and Energy Transitions Working Group should incorporate an urban approach to discussions related to climate change. |

| Abstract: | An objective interpersonal comparison of wellbeing requires that people’s capabilities are considered. This paper operationalizes Sen’s capability concept in maize-based farming systems and assess how it influences farmers’ participation in the Planting for Food and Jobs programme in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District of the Northern region, Ghana. We used data from 314 households through multi-stage sampling procedure. Capability was quantified using factor analysis, while its determinants were identified through multiple linear regression analysis. Afterwards, an instrumental variable probit model was used to examine the effect of capability on programme participation. The factor analysis results reveal two attributes of capability, which were labeled as human capability and institutional capability. These capability attributes are significantly enhanced by availability of markets and good roads. The probit model results provide substantial evidence that both attributes of capability influence farmers’ participation in the Planting for Food and Jobs programme. Specifically, a one standardized unit increase in institutional capability increases the probability of participation by 10.45%. The findings indicate that, for effective participation in agricultural interventions, farmers’ capabilities need to be enhanced. This could be achieved through the provision of, and/or improvement in infrastructure, including roads and markets in remote production centers. |

| Abstract: | Context : Scotland has some of the highest rates of obesity in Europe. It also has a diet high in calorie-dense food mainly purchased in supermarkets. Objective: This paper investigates the role of supermarket promotions on consumption of healthy/ unhealthy food in Scotland using Kantar Worldpanel data recording weekly purchases of over 3,000 households over ten-year period (2006-2015). Design: This study combines three large datasets to address important questions relating to the effect of supermarketpromotions on purchases among socioeconomic classifications of food consumers.The food consumption data are combined with socioeconomic characteristics of households obtained from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and the UK FSA Nutrient Profiling to assess the impact of promotions on purchases of healthy/ unhealthy food. Subsequent analysis will be undertaken to apply the approach to the consumption of all food. Results: The preliminary results are presented from an on-going study and show that the consumption of breakfast cereals is less healthy in 2015 compared to 2006. A decrease in full price purchases and an increase in promotion type price reduction has been found across all SIMD groups. Conclusion: The results after a regression will give implication on how the purchases of healthy/ unhealthy foods are influenced through promotion types in supermarkets. Acknowledgement : I want to acknowledge the financial support of the Scottish Rural College (SRUC) in Edinburgh and the Bournmouth University for the BU Matched funding scheme. |

| Abstract: | "The public purchasing of food from family farming has the potential to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to locally produced food, income generation, strategic stockpiling and food assistance, by providing food to schools, restaurants, hospitals and other public institutions. This strategy combines food assistance with measures to support production, and focuses on strengthening the social and institutional conditions in the country. A structured demand for small producers affords greater security to the production planning process and to the organisation and respective remuneration of producers. These initiatives have demonstrated the capacity of family farmers and their associations to bring quality products to market, thus contributing to rural development". (...) |

| Abstract: | "Zimbabwe is a low-income, land-locked country in Southern Africa with an estimated population of 13,061,239 people, according to the latest census (ZIMSTAT 2012). Two thirds (67 per cent) of Zimbabweans live in rural areas, and 51.9 per cent of the total population are female (ibid.). Between 1996 and 2008, Zimbabwe experienced a systemic crisis with consecutive decreases in gross domestic product (GDP). The crisis generated an extremely high incidence of poverty (people living below the total consumption poverty line) and a deepening of food/extreme poverty (people living below the food poverty line)".

| Abstract: | The paper questions the impact of geographical indication labels on firm export competitiveness in the French cheese and cream industry. We use firm level data from the French custom and an original dataset of firms and products concerned by Protected Designations of Origin (PDO). Our estimations show that PDO labeling allows firms to increase their price by 11.5% on average. Moreover these products are perceived by consumers as products of better quality than non-PDO products. Regarding trade margins, while the effect on trade volume (the intensive margin of trade) is not significant, PDO labeling increases the probability of serving a foreign country (the extensive margin of trade). Our estimations show that exports of PDO products would increase by 11.4% if non-EU consumers value PDO label as much as EU consumers. |

| Abstract: | Traditional demand models assume that consumers are perfectly informed about product characteristics, including price. However, this assumption may be too strong. Unannounced sales are a common supermarket practice. As we show, retailers frequently change position in the price rankings, thus making it unlikely that consumers are aware of all deals o¤ered in each period. Further empirical evidence on consumer behavior is also consistent with a model with price information frictions. We develop such a model for horizontally di¤erentiated products and structurally estimate the search cost distribution. The results show that in equilibrium, consumers observe a very limited number of prices before making a purchase decision, which implies that imperfect information is indeed important and that local market power is potentially high. We also show that a full information demand model yields severely biased price elasticities. |

| Abstract: | In this paper, we argue that the CAP has already made significant changes over the past few years in response to the new circumstances. But we also point out that some basic problems of European agriculture are still unresolved, and that the supranational nature of the CAP and history constrain the margin of maneuver into narrow bounds. We turn next to the expectations of France from the CAP and its role in the European farm policies. This view is largely critical in that it can be argued that our country has not really played the cards of comparative advantage in the earlier period of the Green Europe. However, there are some tentative explanations for that to have occured, but some changes have now become unavoidable. In the last section, we briefly review the prospects of 1992 and other circumstances, including environmental problems, for the future developments of the CAP. |

| Abstract: | Many consumers are familiar with herbs but are consumers familiar with products produced out of herbs? Even though WHO (2001) states that in Africa, approximately 80% of the population takes some form of herbal remedies; the type of herbal product used for the herbal remedy is unknown. Investors in the herbal industry are aware of the industry’s lucrativeness but the target market and product type to concentrate on become a problem. It is confusing how a lucrative business attracts less investors. It would be interesting to investigate into consumers’ familiarity and use of natural health products since it has the potential of creating jobs in the agribusiness sector. Kumasi and Accra metropolitan were the target area because they are representative of Ghana due to high migration of people from the various regions to these metropolitans. The two-stage sampling technique was used with a total sample size of three hundred and eighty-five (385). More than twice of consumers are familiar and have used herbal medicine than herbal food supplement. For herbal medicine, herbal mixture and herbal cream is widely used than herbal capsules. The researcher recommends that investors and entrepreneurs should focus more on herbal medicine than herbal food supplement since many consumers are familiar and have used herbal medicine. Lastly, the herbal industry should target the older generation rather than the younger generation. |

| Abstract: | Purpose: This study quantifies the impact of the Dutch cash payment system on the environment and on climate change using a life cycle assessment (LCA). It examines both the impact of coins and of banknotes. In addition, it identifies areas within the cash payment system where the impact on the environment and on the climate can be reduced. Methods: The ReCiPe endpoint (H) impact method was used for this LCA. The cash payment system has been divided into five subsystems: the production of banknotes, the production of coins, the operation phase, the end of life of banknotes and the end of life of coins. Two functional units were used: 1) cumulative cash payments in the Netherlands in 2015 and 2) the average single cash payment in the Netherlands in 2015. Input data for all processes within each subsystem was collected through interviews and literature study. Ten key companies and authorities in the cash payment chain contributed data, i.e. the Dutch central bank, the Royal Dutch Mint, a commercial bank, a cash logistic service provider, two cash-in-transit companies, two printing works, an ATM manufacturer and a municipal waste incinerator. Results and discussion: The environmental impact of the Dutch cash payment system in 2015 was 2.35 MPt (expressed in eco points) and its global warming potential (GWP) was 17 million kg CO2 equivalents (CO2e). For an average single cash transaction the environmental impact was 637 µPt and the GWP was 4.6 g CO2e. The operation phase (e.g. energy use of ATMs, transport of banknotes and coins) (64%) and coin production phase (32%) had the largest impact on the environment, while the operation phase also had the largest impact on climate change (88%). Finally, scenario analysis shows that reductions of the environmental impact (51%) and the impact on climate change (55%) could be achieved by implementing a number of measures, namely: reducing the number of ATMs, stimulating the use of renewable energy in ATMs, introducing hybrid trucks for cash transport and matching coins with other countries in the euro area. Conclusions: This is the first study that investigates the environmental impact and GWP of the cash payment system in the Netherlands, by taking both the impact of banknotes and coins into account. The total environmental impact of cash payments in 2015 was 2.35 MPt and their GWP was 17 million kg CO2e. |

| Abstract: | Farms on college and university campuses are not new, but the current focuses on the farms being “sustainable” and contributing to the “local food movement” are relatively new and serve as motivation (in addition to their pedagogical value) for school administrators to start them. It is important for administrators to evaluate college farms given these new focuses as well the traditional budgetary standards. We contribute to this discussion by focusing on the example of the Davidson College Farm. Davidson College is a 2,000-student, residential liberal arts college located just north of Charlotte, North Carolina. The College established the Farm in 2012 to provide its Dining Services with local and organic food, and currently operates on 2 acres of land. Although we do frame our analysis around the relatively narrow question, is the Davidson College Farm sustainable[?], we believe that our process for answering it generalizes to the many small farms that serve colleges and universities We frame “sustainability” in terms of environmental and financial sustainability, but we also address the roles of supporting the local food community and of educating students. We address these aspects using the Farm’s operating parameters, financial data, and conclusions drawn from semi-structure interviews with key decision makers. We point out that while the Farm Manager operates organically (but not certifiably organic), the Farm’s small size means that it has little environmental impact. The Farm supports the local food movement by not competing (unfairly) against local farmers, which hampers the Farm’s financial viability. However, that financial unsustainability could be addressed readily if the Farm’s contribution to the students’ education was properly valued in its budget. Thus, the support the Farm offers to the local food community comes at relatively large financial costs, but its academic value outweighs those financial losses. |

| Abstract: | The Government of Ghana together with donor agencies has in many years paid attention to the agricultural sector with special emphasis on staple crops especially root and tuber crops. Sweetpotato has particularly received a lot of research funding over many years to develop many varieties which have been disseminated. However, many farmers still depend on traditional varieties. The aim of the study was to determine the role of awareness in adoption of improved sweetpotato varieties. By using a cross- sectional data collected from 526 farmers and employing binary logit model, an analysis of factors influencing adoption of improved sweetpotato varieties adoption was evaluated. The results revealed that sixty five percent of farmers had adopted improved sweetpotato varieties. Eighty five percent of farmers were aware of the improved sweetpotato varieties. Empirical results revealed that apart from the standard farm and farmer characteristics and institutional factors that influenced adoption, awareness positively and significantly influenced adoption of improved sweetpotato varieties. Awareness creation and education of the improved varieties will encourage adoption. Government and donor agencies should support the extension services in terms of resources to conduct more demonstrations to create awareness. Furthermore media could be engaged to support dissemination of improved varieties. |

| Abstract: | This paper investigated how sensitive food price is to changes in petroleum price and exchange rate in Ghana from January 1997 to August 2017. Interest rate was included as a control variable in the study since it may be a useful macroeconomic policy tool. Using Johansen cointegration procedure, Vector Error Correction Model, Impulse Response Functions and BEKK-GARCH estimations, the results of the study showed there exist positive long-run and short-run relationships between food prices and all the macroeconomic variables used in the model. Thus, increases in petroleum price, exchange rate and interest rate raise food prices in Ghana. The magnitudes of these increases were found to be very high during the food crises periods in 2007/08 and 2010/11. It was also found that effects of these food price spikes caused by shocks from petroleum price, exchange rate and interest rate are long lasting and do not decay easily with time. The results from the BEKK-GARCH estimation showed that food prices in Ghana exhibit time-varying volatility; caused by its own ARCH and GARCH effects as well as exogenously determined shocks from petroleum price, exchange rate and interest rate. Also, the results indicated that food price volatility shocks in Ghana are persistent. It is recommended that; policy aimed at food price stabilization must build national petroleum buffer stocks to stabilize fuel prices, improve exchange rate and interest rate management, build district, regional and national food buffer stocks, selectively target fuel subsidy at crop farmers and food processors, and remove bottlenecks in food marketing. |

| Abstract: | Since the 1950s a substantial part of all European wine has come from cooperative wineries, which since their appearance around the year 1900 have mostly produced cheap, poor quality wine. This paper discusses whether this has been a consequence of their inability to solve a collective action problem. After showing that this is not so, it examines why cooperatives concentrated on the production of bad wine and studies why their market share was small before the 1950s. Lastly, it uses data from Spain to analyse the factors determining the creation of cooperative wineries in the early twentieth century. |

| Abstract: | Empirical literature and policy documents always capture access to credit as one of the most important determinants of successful agricultural production in Ghana and elsewhere in the developing world, particularly Africa. It is often argued that access to credit allows farmers to invest confidently in their agricultural production activities leading to increased productivity, which consequently is able to urge them out of poverty. The extent to which these long held views and narratives are true in modern Ghana is yet to be ascertained. This paper therefore uses mixed methods to ascertain whether or not farmers accord the same level of importance to credit in their agricultural production as being perceived by policy makers, development practitioners and researchers. Thus, the paper analyzed the importance of credit relative to other factors of agricultural production of farm households in Ghana. Multistage sampling was employed in the selection of sub-study areas and research participants across the three main ecological zones (i.e. coastal, forest and savannah) of Ghana. The results indicated that the five most important factors of agricultural production, in the view of farmers are, in descending order, equity finance, technological change, farm implements, credit finance and labor. This result show that in relative terms, access to credit is the fourth most important, which means that its importance has over the years been exaggerated in the empirical literature and by policy makers, implementers and development practitioners. The implication of this is that policies that aim to improve agricultural production and promote transformation of Ghana’s agricultural sector must focus on helping farmers accumulate equity capital, provide them with the requisite technologies and mechanized farm equipment before thinking of credit financing. |

| Abstract: | This report reviews port-based incentive schemes to reduce shipping emissions, such as environmentally differentiated port fees. Greenhouse gas emissions from shipping currently represent around 2.6% of total global emissions, but this share could more than triple by 2050. Ports have a crucial role to play in facilitating the reduction of shipping emissions, alongside the ship operators themselves. Which incentives are currently used? What are their impacts? How could positive effects be increased? The report also explores lessons learned that could inform international negotiations on the reduction of shipping greenhouse gas emissions. |

| Abstract: | The livelihood asset is a primary concern in support of household livelihoods, poverty elimination and enhancing sustainable development, particularly true for mining communities. Underpinned by this, the general objective of the study was to assess the impact of small-scale mining activities on the livelihood assets of households in the Bekwai Municipality, Ghana. The study areas included were mining (Kokotro and Koniyaw) and non-mining (Poano and Ntinanko) communities within Bekwai Municipality with 400 household sample size. The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was used to generate propensity scores to estimate the average mining effect on the household assets. The results revealed that that the household financial assets were positively (3.15) impacted by the activities of Small-Scale Mining (SSM) activities while natural capital was negatively impacted (-4.15) followed by human capital (-3.78) and social capital (-3.25). Virtually, the negatively affected households do nothing (45%) as a coping strategy while others also relied on efforts by District Assembly Taskforce (27). It is recommended that the severe negative impact on the natural assets needs an urgent and strict supervision on mining concession sites and also calls for an alternative source of livelihood activities (cash crops, palm plantation and processing) which are prospects for the government’s policy of planting for food and agriculture and one district one factory. |

| Abstract: | La recherche sur les programmes de fidélisation (PF) se concentre principalement sur l’étude de leur efficacité du côté des entreprises, négligeant la manière dont les consommateurs perçoivent ces programmes. Bien qu’un design et un management appropriés d’un PF soient essentiels, c’est les réactions des consommateurs qui déterminent in fine le succès d’un PF (Liu et Yang, 2009). Ce papier examine à travers une étude qualitative auprès de 22 participants aux PF en retail, l’impact perçu des récompenses économiques sur le comportement des clients et les conséquences qui en découlent. Cette recherche révèle le besoin des participants aux PF pour davantage de réciprocité avec les retailers. Les consommateurs soulignent l’iniquité de la relation et considèrent que la récompense est un droit. Cependant, les bénéfices économiques perçus ne modifient pas les niveaux d’achat, mais induisent une fidélité au programme de fidélité et suscitent davantage de critiques de la part des consommateurs. |

| Abstract: | This study contributes to advance understanding on the micro-level foundations of the relationship between scientific research and innovation. We adopt a relational approach to scientific research networks through the analysis of the content of network ties, in contrast to more standard network approaches which are grounded on structural features of networks. We argue that the perceived legitimacy afforded through ties within research networks play a critical role in reconciling the conflicting logics of science and innovation. The proposed hypotheses are empirically tested in the context of the Spanish biomedical research system, drawing on a large scale survey of biomedical scientists. Our results indicate that the scientists’ acquisition of legitimacy through their research network play a critical role in the context of the translation from scientific research to technological achievements and innovations. Our findings also show that past scientific impact has a reinforcing effect on the relationship between legitimacy acquisition and technological achievements. On the contrary, we find that direct interaction with beneficiaries provides an alternative path to reconcile the conflicting logics of science and market, by compensating for the lack of acquired legitimacy from research network. |

| Abstract: | Our objective is to collect a set of variables able to account for the effects of a multitude of land quality factors. In addition, surrounding plots and the natural and built environment might also influence urban land prices. However, most house price and land price indices do not control for any potentially related spatial effects. The urban land price index detailed here is based on land transaction prices for Luxembourg between 2010 and 2014 recorded in notarial deeds and cadastral data, together with geo-spatial characteristics. The proposed index includes many aspects in an initial hedonic and spatial model specification. |

| Abstract: | This study looks at the economic impact of 2015 on-farm investments for six agricultural sectors (hog, beef, cash crops, dairy, poultry and egg) in Canada, excluding production quota purchase. The direct, indirect and induced effect of on farm investments is calculated for the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies and British Columbia. In Quebec, the model used allowed for the measurement of regional impacts by administrative regions. Comparisons are made between supply and non-supply managed productions. Results indicate that in 2015, Canadian farmers in the six sectors studied have collectively invested more than 9.2 billion dollars that contributed to nearly 89,000 full-time jobs created and 8.7 billion dollars in the GDP. The stability of farm prices that are characteristic of productions under supply management seems favorable to farm investments. While supply management represents roughly 20 % of farm receipts of the six sectors studied, they represent 25 % of total investments and 28 % of the total GDP generated by farm investments. Moreover, on a per farm basis, supply managed farms create significantly more employment and contributions to GDP than their non-supply managed counterparts. Cette étude porte sur l’impact économique des investissements à la ferme en 2015 pour six secteurs agricoles au Canada (porc, bœuf, récoltes à revenu, produits laitiers, volaille et œuf), mais exclut les quotas de production pour les achats. Les effets directs, indirects, et induits des investissements à la ferme sont calculés pour les régions de l’Atlantique, du Québec, de l’Ontario, des Grandes Prairies et de la Colombie-Britannique. Pour le Québec, le modèle utilisé favorise l’évaluation des impacts régionaux par région administrative. Des comparaisons sont faites entre les productions en mode de gestion ou non gestion des stocks. Les résultats de 2015 indiquent que les fermiers canadiens des six secteurs sous étude ont collectivement investi plus de 9,2 milliards de dollars qui ont contribué à la création de près de 89 000 emplois à temps plein, et à 8,7 milliards de dollars du PIB. La stabilité des prix à la ferme qui sont attribuables aux productions en mode de gestion des stocks semblent favorables aux investissements. Tandis que la gestion des stocks représente approximativement 20% des revenus pour les six secteurs sous étude, celle-ci représente 25% des investissements totaux et 28% du PIB total généré par les investissements à la ferme. De plus, sur la base d’une seule ferme, les fermes en mode de gestion des stocks créent significativement plus d’emplois et plus de contributions au PIB que leurs homologues qui opèrent en mode de non gestion des stocks. |
