Sectoral gaps and cross-country productivity differences. The importance of agricultural productivity differences in explaining cross-country income differences was the focus of accounting work by Córdoba and Ripoll (Citation 2009), Gollin et al. (Citation 2007), Restuccia et al. (Citation 2008), Vollrath (Citation 2009), and others.These papers underscored that, in a proximate sense, cross ...

This study examines the impact of subsidies on productivity growth in agriculture globally using a long time series on the nominal rate of assistance for 42 countries that ...

Growing agricultural productivity has often been seen as the key to rapid economic development. In this paper, it is argued that agricultural productivity growth plays an important role in institutional development. It is hypothesized that agricultural productivity growth leads to structural change both inside the rural agricultural sector and between this sector and modern manufacturing and ...

Raising agricultural productivity has been essential for global food security and conserving land. Now, research quantifies how climate change has slowed agricultural productivity growth around ...

Agricultural productivity growth is key to rapid structural transformation of the economy. More than 50 years after the start of the green revolution, India's reliance on agriculture as the mainstay of livelihoods continues to be high. Against this backdrop, this paper examines trends in labour and total factor productivity in Indian agriculture. We first examine trends in the differences in ...

Background Agroforestry bridges the gap that often separates agriculture and forestry by building integrated systems that address both environmental and socio-economic objectives. Agroforestry can improve the resiliency of agricultural systems and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Existing research suggests that integrating trees on farms can prevent environmental degradation, improve ...

This paper reviews recent literature concerning a wide range of processes through which climate change could potentially impact global-scale agricultural productivity, and presents projections of changes in relevant meteorological, hydrological and plant physiological quantities from a climate model ensemble to illustrate key areas of uncertainty.

Agricultural value added per worker in real 2010 USD rose from $846 in 2000 to $1563 in 2019, a 3.2% annual rate of growth. But to assert that Africa is rapidly developing does not mean that all livelihood indicators are improving, though most are in most countries ( 1, 3 ). SSA faces many major challenges.

Advances in agricultural productivity have led to abundant and affordable food and fiber throughout most of the developed world. Public and private agricultural research has been the foundation and basis for much of this growth and development. ERS data, research, and analyses quantify agricultural productivity improvements and the sources of improvement, in the U.S. and globally.

To contribute to these debates, this study employs a panel data spanning 26 year (1990-2015) and including 13 ECOWAS countries to analyze the impact of production factors on agricultural ...

The European Innovation Partnership Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability's SunBot project is an illustration of this strategy in action (EIP-AGRI). The project, which started in late 2018, has focused on automating a solar-powered tractor and mower for efficient utilization of resources in berry orchards [27]. The goal of the project is ...

In recent decades, agricultural productivity in low- and lower-middle-income countries, particularly in Africa, has fallen increasingly behind that of upper middle-income countries. Adequate use of agricultural inputs such as improved seeds and inorganic fertilisers has been identified as one way of enhancing agricultural productivity.

This paper investigates the impacts of climate change on US returns to research investments on agricultural productivity. We examine this using a historical data set in a panel time-series econometric model of state agricultural productivity. The fitted model allows derivation of the rate of return to research investments and the effects of climate change thereon. We find climate change is ...

Therefore, different methods of measuring agricultural productivity and climate do not affect the core conclusions of this paper. The effect of climate on agricultural productivity has certain credibility, which verifies the research hypothesis again . 4.3.2 Quantile regression.

This report contains a review of the literature on the role of agricultural research and development in fostering innovation and productivity in agriculture. The review seeks to clarify concepts and terminology used in the area, provide a critical assessment of approaches found in the literature, report main results, and draw inferences.

e⁄ects of agricultural productivity on the labor market. The following two sections present the empirical strategy and data, respectively. Empirical results are discussed in section 5. The paper is concluded in the -nal section. (2) Agricultural Productivity in a Farm Economy

Introduction. Asia is the most populous subcontinent in the world (UNO, 2015), comprising 4.5 billion people—about 60% of the total world population.Almost 70% of the total population lives in rural areas and 75% of the rural population are poor and most at risk due to climate change, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions (Yadav and Lal, 2018; Population of Asia, 2019).

For this reason, Kassie et al. (Citation 2011) argue that the adoption of research and improved technology is key to expanding agricultural productivity and production while mitigating rural poverty for sustained livelihoods. In many developed countries, "extension" is the motive force for yield enhancements (Labarthe & Laurent, Citation 2013).

Climate change, land degradation, and limited land and water resources have challenged our ability to meet the food demand of a rapidly growing population. To tackle this challenge, modern agricultural systems are relying on new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve agricultural productivity and resource use efficiency. Although IoT has gained considerable attention in the ...

Growth of agriculture in GDP: The percentage of agriculture growth in India shown in the Fig. 3 revealed that it is fluctuated. i.e. in 2005-06 it is 5.5 per cent and in the next financial year it ...

The adoption of environmental conservation agriculture (ECA) in Nepal is aligned with the country's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, as ECA practices have been proven to effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nepal's agricultural sector faces numerous challenges, including labor shortages, climate change impacts, and the necessity for environmentally friendly farming ...
