Value of Information of Improved Traceability in Fresh Produce Markets

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traceability plays an important role in promoting a safe food supply by fostering transparent information exchange along the food supply chain. New technological innovations have the potential to improve traceability outcomes, as greater transparency along the food supply chain can aid in pinpointing precise origins of the contamination ...

How Does Patient Capital Enhance Agribusiness Resilience? Evidence From Chinese Listed Agribusinesses

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In emerging economies where smallholder farming dominates agricultural production, agribusinesses serve as critical intermediaries linking smallholders to broader markets, and their resilience directly affects agricultural sustainability. Short‐term‐oriented capital is reluctant to adequately finance highly uncertain and cyclical agricultural ...

How Crop Forecast Similarity, Government Policies, and Macroeconomic Conditions Affect WASDE Forecast Accuracy

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) play a central role in how agricultural commodity markets process information about supply, demand, and prices. This study examines how global and domestic shocks, as well as policy interventions, are reflected in the similarity of WASDE ...

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

Autonomous X‐Ray Fluorescence Mapping for Nanoscale Chemical Speciation of Fine Particulate Matter

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We present X‐AutoMap, an autonomous X‐ray fluorescence mapping framework that integrates real‐time analysis with rule‐based computer vision to selectively target chemically relevant regions. By avoiding background‐dominated areas, the method reduces acquisition time by fourfold while enabling accurate particle‐level speciation.

Interpretable Short‐Term Electric Load Forecasting

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A temporal fusion transformer is implemented to generate day‐ahead forecasts of the hourly electrical load of a departmentbuilding at an Italian university. A forecasting performance improvement of more than 25% compared with established benchmark models and a provision of inherent robust interpretability insights reveal the potential of this model for
