Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

How Video‐Based Information Affects Farmers' Willingness to Pay for Drone Services
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Professional service for digital technology like agricultural drones lowers transaction costs and scope thresholds for smallholders. Meanwhile, perceptual adoption barriers remain underexplored. We conduct a two‐stage choice experiment with a randomized video‐based information treatment among 384 Chinese crop farmers to measure its effect on ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.Through HPLC–MS/MS analysis and multivariate statistics, raphani semen (RS) varieties with high functional components were screened. The white raphani semen “Xuebawang” was identified as ideal for further study due to its high bioactive content: glucoraphenin (9010.27 mg/100 g), glucoraphanin (1027.76 mg/100 g), sulforaphane (66.14 mg/100 g), and ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract This study explores the rent price ratio in agricultural land markets, crucial for evaluating market efficiency, policy needs, and farmer decision‐making. Traditionally, the analyses faced challenges due to the absence of concurrent sale and rent data for the same land, potentially leading to biased results.

Effects of organic amendment on soil quality as assessed by biological indicators
, 2011 Soil quality decline is one of the most predominant effect deriving from human activities. In particular, intensive agricultural management can affect negatively soils, principally due to rapid depletion of soil organic matter, that affects, in turn ...
