Food and nutrition security is a multi-dimensional subject. The definition of the FAO in 1996, i.e.
“when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary
needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life”, presents the following four core
dimensions. It includes: a) physical availability...
Farm structure is a multi-dimensional concept that can be measured through different criteria. Meanwhile, farm structure has been identified to discern small farms or well-endowed farms from the other farms. Distinguishing and identifying these two groups have practical implications for understanding the dynamics in rural areas and the effectivenes...
Environmental and economic aspects of a production system are two main pillars to study the sustainability of the system. In this regard, the purpose of this study was the economic and environmental assessment of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) production in rainfed and irrigated systems in northern Iran. The data were collected from 133 rainfed and 17...
In contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina, rural poverty is an unresolved issue, despite farming having been a poverty coping strategy for many rural dwellers, especially after the end of the Balkan war. Eradicating poverty is among the priorities of the national government that aims at EU candidacy and accession. Being the most dynamic among agricult...
This article aims to show the potential contribution of high-yielding rice varieties to achieve sustainable intensification in paddy farming, by focusing on a developing country. A comparative life cycle assessment of traditional vs. high-yielding varieties is carried out by comparing the area-based and yield-based results. Primary data are collect...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is currently regarded by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most significant risks to global public health. The most critical causes of AMR infections in humans are the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans and farmed animals. The rising global demand for food of animal origin encourages the in...
Purpose: Food is a basic need for human life. Ensuring food security
requires guaranteeing adequate food availability, accessibility, and
utilization along with the sustainability of the food system. Food
availability can be improved by decreasing food losses. The goal of
this study is to document the causes and quantify the amount of
losses in Ira...
Global warming is the immediate consequence of increased greenhouse gasses emission. Agriculture is a significant source in terms of greenhouse gasses emission and on the other hand, the main sector in terms of producing food. As global food demand grows, the share of agriculture in the total greenhouse gasses emission will rise too. Therefore, agr...
Abstract: This paper intends to investigate the factors affecting the real exchange rate in Iran in the period of 1978-2008. In this part, the econometric methodology and vector autoregressive model that is known as VAR is used to investigate the effect of proper variables on the real exchange rate. The results of Johansson-Jousilious test confirme...
: This paper investigates the effect of exchange rate volatility on international trade flows by studying the case of Iran’s agricultural exports with emphasis on pistachio, saffron and date for the period of 1978 to 2008. Autoregressive distributed lag approach was employed to estimate the main model and generalized autoregressive conditional hete...
