Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

THE INVESTIGATION of THE EFFECT of SILAGE ADDITIVES on SILAGE MICROBIOLOGY

, 2023
Silage has become one of the basic components of ruminant rations in many countries. Silage making, like many other fermented products, is a green feed storage method that has been used in animal production for many years. It has been reported that the largest share in the fermentation process applied worldwide is silage making (Jatkauskas and ...
