Abstract:

Mestrado em Economia<br>The agricultural sector plays a vital role in the development of Mozambique’s economy, so it is important to understand the relation between the macroeconomic environment and this sector. This master thesis examines the relationship between macroeconomic variables and agricultural production in Mozambique, adopting the classical regression model and using bootstrap, with the endogenous variable being total production, regressed in several covariates. The time horizon is from 1980 to 2012. A robust test is undertaken, estimated by a Bayesian model. The empirical result

Abstract:

The paper examines significance of institutional environment for agricultural production. It adds to the extensive research of agricultural production functions. First, it reviews relevant theory of institutional economics that explains how institutions contribute to productivity in general, especially if interpreted as economic freedom. Then, a model of agricultural production is presented, which explains aggregate agricultural production using various inputs, as well as variables representing institutional environment. Results concerning elasticities of material inputs (land, labor, capital)

Abstract:

Through technological progress, agricultural research and development (AgR&D) has in the past raised agricultural yields in the developing world, enabling small scale farmers to meet the domestic and foreign demand for farm products. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where agriculture is the backbone of most economies in the region, AgR&D has been lagging behind compared to other developing regions. This study investigates the contribution of agricultural research to agricultural production in SSA by quantifying the impact of AgR&D on the technical efficiency of agricultural production in the regio

Abstract:

The global food problem escalates in the 21st century because the number of people living on planet Earth has already exceeded 7,6 billion people and the level of food supply is not sufficient. The total number of people suffering from food shortag-es is over one billion worldwide. The fact is that natural population growth in the world’s poorest countries outstrips agricultural productivity. That is why the problem of providing intensive agricultural production and developing effective strategies are important for the world economy.

Abstract:

Soil micro-organisms are a fundamental component of soil ecosystem services. Plant yields have shown to be increased through processes mediated by fungi, such as increased acquisition of important plant nutrients e.g. phosphate (P) and nitrogen (N). This has seen micro-organisms exploited commercially to create bio-inoculants (BIs). However, it is remarkably difficult to determine the effectiveness of commercially-available BIs that claim to promote crop yields as in most cases the underlying mechanisms responsible for these beneficial effects are unknown.

In this study, Chinese corn stalk, rice plant and wheat straw were evaluated as substrates by applying three different pre-treatments.

To achieve this objective, pyrolysis experiments were conducted using a bench-scale (150 g/h) reactor system, followed by bio-oil analysis. It was found that the reactor bed temperature that could give the highest organics yiel

Abstract:

This thesis presents an exploration of farmers decision-making under risk and uncertainty. In particular, the study identifies the type of risk preference (averse, neutral or seeking) and measures the magnitude of risk preference before and after the introduction of the single farm payment (SFP). The analysis therefore provides an insight into the impact of this fundamental policy change on farmer risk behaviour. Furthermore, it examines agricultural production decision-making under price uncertainty. Empirically, it evaluates the impact of risk and uncertainty using Farm Business Survey (FBS)

Vermicomposting, the non-thermophilic decomposition of organic wastes by earthworms, is a popular waste management option in the Americas, Europe and the Indian sub-continent.

The objective of this thesis was to investigate the potential for vermicomposting in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, by conducting 1) an earthworm survey, 2) vermicomposting trials and 3) assessing farmers' perceptions of vermicompost as an organic fert

Abstract:

Previous variability studies in both U.S. and worldwide agriculture have indicated that crop production has been accompanied by increasing variation. In this research, four different variability indexes were estimated in order to evaluate the production variability associated with the major Arizona field crops. Results show that major Arizona field crops, which are all irrigated, did not have a uniform production variability over the last 24 years and the variability of these crops did not generally increase between the periods of 1967-1978 and 1979-1990. Although biological factors (e.g. pest
