Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Short communication: Genomic prediction based on unbiased estimation of the genomic relationship matrix in pigs

open access: yesAnimal
The traditional genomic relationship matrix (GRM) has shown to be a biased estimation of true kinship, which can affect subsequent genetic analyses. In this study, we employed an unbiased kinship (UKin) estimation method within the genomic best linear ...

Optimal Data Acquisition for Statistical Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We consider a data analyst's problem of purchasing data from strategic agents to compute an unbiased estimate of a statistic of interest. Agents incur private costs to reveal their data and the costs can be arbitrarily correlated with their data.

Is Youth's Engagement in Agribusiness an Opportunity or a Necessity? A Closer Look at the Situation in South Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the broad focus on necessity‐ and opportunity‐driven entrepreneurship in research and policy, the entrepreneurial dichotomy within the agribusiness context has not been adequately addressed. This study contributes to closing this knowledge gap by examining youth's perceptions of agribusiness through the lens of the push‐pull motivation

A Penalized Multi-trait Mixed Model for Association Mapping in Pedigree-based GWAS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), penalization is an important approach for identifying genetic markers associated with trait while mixed model is successful in accounting for a complicated dependence structure among samples.

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

"On Measuring Uncertainty of Small Area Estimators with Higher Order Accuracy" [PDF]

open access: yes
The empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) or the empirical Bayes estimator (EB) in the linear mixed model is recognized useful for the small area estimation, because it can increase the estimation precision by using the information from the ...

A Machine Learning Perspective on the Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi Relation in Water‐Gas Shift Catalysis on MXenes

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Machine learning predicts activation energies for key steps in the water‐gas shift reaction on 92 MXenes. Random Forest is identified as the most accurate model. Reaction energy and reactant LogP emerge as key descriptors. The approach provides a predictive framework for catalyst design, grounded in density functional theory data and validated through ...
