Assessing the prediction capacity of an agricultural supply positive mathematical programming model
In this paper, the calibration and prediction capacity of a supply response positive mathematical programming model (PMP) for the Alentejo region are evaluated. The model is calibrated with prices and agricultural subsidies of the base year (2000), using the specification rules of the cost function standard, Paris standard, average cost and exogenous elasticities. Then, the model is utilised for ...

The Role of Portable Soil EC Detectors in Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Water Management
Agriculture is a crucial aspect of our global food supply chain, and proper soil management is essential for sustainable crop production. Portable soil EC detectors have become an invaluable tool for agricultural managers, providing them with real-time soil EC (electrical conductivity) readings that can help optimize crop growth and water management. In this article, we will explore the role of ...

Simulating Agricultural Climate Change Scenarios using Controlled Growth Chambers
Extreme weather, believed to result from climate change and increased atmospheric CO2 levels, is a concern for many. And beyond extreme events, global warming is also expected to impact agriculture.1,2 Although it is expected that climate change will significantly affect agriculture and cause decreases in crop yields, the full effects of climate change on agriculture and human food supplies are ...
