Adjusting food practices to climate prescriptions: vegetable gardening as a way to reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions / Laurence Granchamp in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement *, Vol.100, N°1-4 ([01/12/2019])

Public ISBD [article]  inRevue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement * > Vol.100, N°1-4 [01/12/2019] . - 1–25 Titre : Adjusting food practices to climate prescriptions: vegetable gardening as a way to reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions Type de document : Article Auteurs : Laurence Granchamp, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : 1–25 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Motbis 2025] comportement alimentaire [Motbis 2025] effet de serre Note de contenu : During a survey of an experiment that involved using “carbon calculators”, we investigated what people think and what they do when they consider the link between their food and the climate. To what extent do individuals adhere to or reject the “prescriptions” implicitly contained in carbon calculators and passed on by environmental social movements or the authorities. These prescriptions are considered as recommendations or advice drawn up by experts aiming to guide behaviours; they involve reducing reality in a measuring device against which behaviours are gauged (in this case, the quantity of greenhouse gases). Three main levers are envisaged so that households can reduce their food’s impact on the climate: reducing the consumption of meat, eating local and eating in-season produce. However, in opposition to this conception of individuals as rational and free to adapt their practices based on the information available to them, we suggest an analytic framework that takes into consideration the fact that food and eating is embedded in everyday and social relationships. Calculating one’s greenhouse gas emissions (GGE) provokes an intense moment of reflexivity during which routines are called into question and discrepancies between prescriptions and practices emerge. Drawing our inspiration from, on the one hand, the theory of practice, we examine how the prescriptions are connected to practices, and on the other, using a pragmatic approach, we analyse how individuals call into question their food practices to resolve the contradictions they identify, and devise adjustments. We show how people appraise the context globally, which leads them to subvert the logic of the calculator or address the prescriptions more broadly to lend value to other practices to which they attach importance and consider adapted. This enabled us to highlight vegetable gardening and promoting eating locally produced food as favoured adjustments. The qualitative approach allows us to emphasise how the measuring device, rather than supplying a behaviourist model, makes it possible to render more visible the forms of attachment and categories of judgement mobilised, which do not obey strict accounting logics or a formal, narrow rationality, and to examine “what counts when you’re counting”.

Examining organic, agritourism, and agri-environmental diversification decisions of American farms: are these decisions interlinked? / Aditya R. Khanal ; Ashok K. Mishra ; Omobolaji Omobitan in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement *, Vol.100, N°1-4 ([01/12/2019])

Type de document : Article Auteurs : Aditya R. Khanal, Auteur ; Ashok K.

This study analyzes the factors affecting farm household’s decision to adopt organic, agritourism, and agri-environmental strategies. Using a nation-wide farm household data collected through the Agricultural Resource Management Survey, our results show the interlinkages between these on-farm diversification decisions. We found complementarity between agritourism and organic farming decisions, and between agri-environmental conservation and agritourism. Additionally, farm’s financial position, insurance participation, land acreage holdings, and farm type and location are likely to influence the diversification decisions of the farm households.

Contribution of the Common Agricultural Policy to agricultural productivity of EU regions during 2004–2012 period / Marie-Noëlle Duquenne ; Maria Tsiapa ; Valantis Tsiakos in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement *, Vol.100, N°1-4 ([01/12/2019])

The objective is to assess the impact of this policy on agricultural growth and competitiveness of regions, first in the aftermath of the fundamental reforms of the decoupling policy and second during the historic eastward enlargement of the EU, which deepened asymmetric spatial patterns and may have led to the CAP having a different spatial impact. The analysis uses an econometric approach based on an augmented Cobb-Douglas production function. The impact is proved to be mixed; positive when the change of subsidies with a 1-year lag is considered, which is related to farm strategies, and negative when the level of subsidies, which is based on reference data, is considered. In the case of the new member states, the effect is negative, confirming the CAP’s incompatibility with the agricultural structures of the area.

Is there any gender gap in the production of legumes in Malawi? Evidence from the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition model / Joe-Nkamuke Uzoamaka ; Oluseyi Olagunju Kehinde ; Esther Njuguna-Mungai ; Kai Mausch in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement *, Vol.100, N°1-4 ([01/12/2019])

Using a panel dataset from the ICRISAT led Tropical Legumes project III (2008–2013), we analyse the gender gap in the production of legumes in Malawi. Employing the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition method allows decomposition of gender gap into the following: (i) the portion caused by observable differences in the factors of production (endowment effect) and (ii) the unexplained portion caused by differences in return to the same observed factors of production (structural effect). We conducted the empirical analysis separately for pigeonpea and groundnut. Our findings reveal that for groundnut cultivated plots, women are 28% less productive than men after controlling for observed factors of production; however, the gender gap estimated in the pigeonpea cultivated plots are not statistically significant. The decomposition estimates reveal that the endowment effect is more relevant than the structural effect, suggesting that access to productive inputs contributes largest to the gender gap in groundnut productivity, and if women involved had access to equal level of inputs, the gap will be reduced significantly. The variation in the findings for groundnut and pigeon plot suggests that policy orientation towards reducing gender productivity gap should be crop specific.

Investigating market power in the Belgian pork production chain / Dries Maes ; Mark Vancauteren ; Steven Van Passel in Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement *, Vol.100, N°1-4 ([01/12/2019])

Public ISBD [article]  inRevue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement * > Vol.100, N°1-4 [01/12/2019] . - 93–117 Titre : Investigating market power in the Belgian pork production chain Type de document : Article Auteurs : Dries Maes, Auteur ; Mark Vancauteren, Auteur ; Steven Van Passel, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : 93–117 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Motbis 2025] abattage : boucherie [Motbis 2025] Belgique [Motbis 2025] filière porcine Note de contenu : Belgian pork production has faced stagnating prices for decades. It remains unclear whether excessive market power from slaughterhouses or meat retailers has played a role in this trend. While market power studies can reveal some of the market dynamics in this setting, this type of research has not yet been applied to the Belgian pork market. The present paper investigates oligopolies and oligopsonies in the pork production sector. We build a new model that focuses on market power dynamics in the market for live pigs and distinguishes horizontal and vertical market power parameters, both for pig farmers and for slaughterhouses. The results follow from an empirical application using unique slaughterhouse data for 2001–2015. The results indicate that the farmers benefit from a significant power advantage in the live pig market, when very modest price demands are taken as a reference. The final market price of live pigs approaches the price requested by the farmers. On the other hand, the measured vertical market power also suggests that a pig farmer does not receive the (modest) full-wage-based salary. The market power of the slaughterhouses is also limited. Market power as a result of collusion—that is, horizontal market power—is present, but is not strong. However, there are significant differences between the slaughterhouses in terms of mark-up on the input prices. These differences reflect differences in company strategy, and this diversity further reduces the possibility to create sector-wide collusive behaviour.
