Croissance et engraissement de faisandeaux élevés en volière ou en claustration [PDF]

INRAE Productions Animales, 1991
Des faisandeaux nés le même jour et issus de la même population parentale ont été élevés soit en volière soit en claustration complète jusqu’à l’âge de 22 semaines. Après l’âge de 10 semaines les faisandeaux élevés en volière ont une croissance plus rapide que ceux élevés en claustration, un meilleur indice de consommation apparent et un plus fort ...

Carbon tax pass‐through in western Canadian grain transportation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 339-357, December 2025.
Abstract This paper examines the impact of Canada's federal carbon tax on farmgate grain prices, focusing on pass‐through in the grain transportation sector. The tax, which was eliminated in April 2025 amid concerns about rising food costs, was widely criticized by farmers for increasing expenses related to fertilizer, propane, and rail shipping.

Implications of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism for Fertiliser and Food Markets Conséquences du mécanisme d'ajustement carbone aux frontières de l'Union européenne pour les marchés des engrais et des produits alimentaires Auswirkungen des EU‐ CO2‐Grenzausgleichssystem auf die Düngemittel‐ und Lebensmittelmärkte

EuroChoices, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 23-30, August 2025.
Summary Coherence in policy approaches across countries is crucial for achieving common GHG emission reduction goals at lower costs. Agro‐economic models like Aglink‐Cosimo, including global fertiliser markets, are useful for analyzing the anticipated effects of GHG reduction policies on food commodity markets.

Effects of urea fertilizer and nettle extract on the biochemical and morphological characteristics of ornamental peppers (Capsicum frutescens L.) under deficit irrigation conditions

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 600-614, April 2025.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nettle extract, urea fertilizer and deficit irrigation on the biochemical and morphological characteristics of ornamental peppers. The study consisted of two irrigation (I) treatments (100% irrigation (I100) and 50% irrigation (I50)) and four fertilizer treatment groups (urea fertilizer: U;

Optimising Precision Agriculture Choices for Arable Farmers in Germany and the UK: the LINKDAPA Approach Optimiser les choix des cultivateurs en agriculture de précision en Allemagne et au Royaume‐Uni : l'approche LINKDAPA Präzisionslandwirtschaft in Ackerbauerbetrieben in Deutschland und dem Vereinigten Königreich (UK): Verbesserung der Umsetzung durch den LINKDAPA‐Ansatz

EuroChoices, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 29-35, December 2024.
Summary Farmer adoption of so‐called Precision Agriculture (PA) or ‘smart’ technologies in the arable sector has grown in the last few decades with a focus on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and variable rate technologies (VRT). This has led to increased generation of large volumes of data about fields and their crop yields which could be ...

Financial Barriers to Reducing Nitrogen Pollution in Dutch Dairy Farms Obstacles financiers à la réduction de la pollution par l'azote dans les exploitations laitières néerlandaises Finanzielle Hürden für die Verringerung der Stickstoffüberschüsse in niederländischen Milchviehbetrieben

EuroChoices, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 53-58, December 2024.
Summary Nitrogen fertiliser boosts agricultural yields, but its excessive use destabilises ecosystems. That is why Dutch policy makers want to reduce nitrogen pollution on dairy farms. Cleaner technologies and structural changes could reduce farm emissions. We benchmarked farms, organised an expert consultation, and reviewed the literature to determine

Heterogeneous impact of crop diversification on farm net returns and risk exposure: Empirical evidence from Ghana

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 469-487, December 2024.
Abstract Increasing frequency of extreme weather events threatens the livelihoods of low‐income farm households due to the heavy dependence on rain‐fed agriculture coupled with the under‐developed formal markets for risk management products. Thus, crop diversification is one of the widely used ex ante adaptation strategies to hedge against weather risk

Gender differences in agricultural productivity in Côte d'Ivoire: Distribution, drivers, and changes over time

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 77-100, March 2024.
Abstract This paper analyzes changes in agricultural productivity gender gaps in Côte d'Ivoire between 2008 and 2016 using decomposition methods. The analysis finds that the gender gap went from 40% in food crops and 17% in exports crops in 2008, to 19% in food crops and a statistical zero in export crops in 2016. The overall gender gap decreased by 15
