Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

The Effect of Sustainability Information on Consumers' Preferences for Fungus‐Resistant Grape Wine

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable food production is intensifying the need to reduce the environmental and social impacts of pesticide use in agriculture. In viticulture, where dependence on pesticides is high because grapevines are susceptible to fungal diseases, fungus‐resistant grape varieties (PIWI) offer a promising strategy to reduce chemical ...

Domestic and External Drivers of Brazilian Pork Price Volatility Under Russian Trade Policies

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how Russian trade policies and domestic factors influence the volatility of Brazilian live swine prices from 2004 to 2019. We employ a DCC‐MGARCH framework, along with volatility impulse‐response functions and the connectedness approach, to analyze time‐varying co‐movement and dynamic volatility spillovers across pork ...

Machine learning–driven design of catalytic processes for sulfur dioxide oxidation: Lessons from the trenches

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the growing use of ML in chemical engineering, the catalytic conversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3) remains underexplored from a data‐driven modeling perspective. This study evaluates an integrated workflow for literature‐derived SO2 oxidation data, combining data curation, preprocessing assessment, machine ...
