Competition Policy and Agribusiness in the Biden Administration
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Biden Administration pursued a set of ambitious competition policy initiatives in agriculture and agribusiness, primarily aimed at livestock and poultry supply chains, farm inputs, and food retailing. The initiatives included expanded antitrust enforcement; new US Department of Agriculture (USDA) contract regulations requiring poultry ...

Engineering Drought Resistance in Forest Trees [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Climatic stresses limit plant growth and productivity. In the past decade, tree improvement programs were mainly focused on yield but it is obvious that enhanced stress resistance is also required. In this review we highlight important drought avoidance and tolerance mechanisms in forest trees.

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...

Stomatal behavior of cowpea genotypes grown under varying moisture levels [PDF]
, 2017 Drought is a major limitation to crop productivity worldwide. Plants lose most of their water through stomata, thus making stomata an important organ in the control of transpiration and photosynthesis.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

IMPACT OF DROUGHT AND GENETIC DROUGHT RESISTANCE IN CROP PLANTS
Greener Journal of Plant breeding and Crop Science, 2023 Among abiotic stresses, drought is the most severe abiotic stress in many parts of the world and is a grand problem in present-day climatic scenario. Drought is the prominent environmental stress, which is significantly hampering crop yield and its quality in the world.
