3 pages., Via Silver Anvil Awards., WinField United teamed up with Exponent PR and its sister agency, Colle+McVoy, to unleash a multi-channeled communications blitz to help farmers and retailers be more efficient and sustainably connect the dots using WinField United’s proprietary precision agriculture tools and data platforms. Additionally, the team took on the challenge of telling the remarkable story of modern agriculture to the masses.

25pgs, We combine farm accounting data with high-resolution meteorological data, and climate scenarios to estimate climate change impacts and adaptation potentials at the farm level. To do so, we adapt the seminal model of Moore and Lobell (2014) who applied panel data econometrics to data aggregated from the farm to the regional (subnational) level. We discuss and empirically investigate the advantages and challenges of applying such models to farm-level data, including issues of endogeneity of explanatory variables, heterogeneity of farm responses to weather shocks, measurement errors in meteorological variables, and aggregation bias. Empirical investigations into these issues reveal that endogeneity due to measurement errors in temperature and precipitation variables, as well as heterogeneous responses of farms toward climate change may be problematic. Moreover, depending on how data are aggregated, results differ substantially compared to farm-level analysis. Based on data from Austria and two climate scenarios (Effective Measures and High Emission) for 2040, we estimate that the profits of farms will decline, on average, by 4.4% (Effective Measures) and 10% (High Emission). Adaptation options help to considerably ameliorate the adverse situation under both scenarios. Our results reinforce the need for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
search through journal, The study investigates the value of additional information on the response function to soil salinity of a given crop (potatoes), with regard to a stochastic long-run optimization model for utilization of saline water in a single-farm framework. The analysis provides a conceptual and methodological framework for investigating the expected value of sample information (EVSI), as well as an efficient tool for empirical application. Although a few approximations have been used, the results provide an estimate of EVSI and indicate the need for additional information (original)

INTERPAKS; copy in ACDC files, In: M. Drosdoff, ed. World food issues, 2nd ed. Ithaca, NY: Center for the Analysis of World Food Issues, Cornell University, 1984. p. 73-78., Discusses two competing communication strategies. One is a descendent of traditional extension philosophy, which emerged in the US and was developed in the first half of the 20th century. The second is related to the emergence in recent years of the concepts of "integration" and "participation" in rural development. Describes and analyzes each of these strategies and the issues they pose.
