Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract The EU aims to reach 25% of the total agricultural area under organic farming by 2030. Interlinking a farm‐level and agro‐economic market model, we assess impacts of achieving the target either at Member State or aggregated EU level. Results show that flexible budget allocation across Member States would be more cost‐efficient and less ...

GPT-4 as an Agronomist Assistant? Answering Agriculture Exams Using Large Language Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding across various domains, including healthcare and finance. For some tasks, LLMs achieve similar or better performance than trained human beings, therefore it is reasonable to employ human exams (e.g., certification tests) to assess the performance of

Impact of index insurance on downside income risk: Evidence from northern Kenya
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We assessed the impact of index‐based livestock insurance (IBLI) on household income and its higher‐order moments (i.e., variance and skewness). The study uses four waves of panel survey data from northern Kenya and applies a two stage least squares (2SLS) instrumental variables regression to estimate the causal impacts.

A model-based approach to assist variety evaluation in sunflower crop [PDF]
Casadebaig, P.; Mestries, E. & Debaeke, P. (2016), 'A model-based
approach to assist variety assessment in sunflower crop', European Journal of
Agronomy 81, 92--105, 2017 Assessing the performance and the characteristics (e.g. yield, quality, disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance) of new varieties is a key component of crop performance improvement. However, the variety testing process is presently exclusively based on experimental field approaches which inherently reduces the number and the diversity of ...
