Founded in 2016, the Mato Grosso Meat Institute is an autonomous social service formed by representatives of the farm production sector, of the industry, of society and of the state government to promote the meat produced in the state of Mato Grosso, one of the most important states for Brazilian agriculture and livestock production. Despite several promising projects in the pipeline on the topics of information sharing, sustainable insertion of smallholders and other, IMAC still has not reached a protagonist role in Mato Grosso beef chain. With several changes and trends emerging in consumer food behavior, its president (Caio Penido), is still looking for the best strategies to improve Mato Grosso’s competitive advantage and align all the agents involved to fulfill IMAC’s “vision for the chain”.The Teaching Note to this Case Study is available on request via e-mail to ifamr@ifama.org
马托格罗索州肉类协会成立于 2016 年,是一个由农业生产部门、行业、社会和州政府代表组成的自治社会服务机构,旨在推广巴西农业和畜牧业生产最重要的州之一--马托格罗索州生产的肉类。尽管在信息共享、小农户可持续融入等方面有几个前景看好的项目正在筹备中,但 IMAC 仍未在马托格罗索州牛肉产业链中发挥主导作用。随着消费者食品行为的一些变化和趋势的出现,其总裁(Caio Penido)仍在寻找最佳战略,以提高马托格罗索州的竞争优势,并调整所有相关代理,以实现 IMAC 的 "产业链愿景"。本案例研究的教学说明可通过电子邮件索取:ifamr@ifama.org。

A recent publication reports that the number of active Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in self-custodial wallets has grown exponentially in the past years across several industries. This study analyzed 65 token-based use cases in the wine sector. It was found that most current applications revolve around the downstream part of the supply chain. The research has also demonstrated that the various solutions involving fungible tokens and NFTs can be classified into three categories. Consequently, a taxonomy has been introduced. Furthermore, it was identified that digital tokens can solve current challenges in the wine industry related to provenance, proof of origin, authenticity, and fraud prevention. At the same time, the utilization of tokens enables an extended consumer interaction with the product. Managers potentially considering connecting their physical products and services with digital tokens can obtain insights towards their use in the web3 economy.
最近的一份出版物报告称,在过去几年中,自保管钱包中活跃的不可封代币(NFT)数量在多个行业中呈指数级增长。这项研究分析了葡萄酒行业中 65 个基于代币的使用案例。研究发现,目前大多数应用都围绕着供应链的下游环节。研究还表明,涉及可替代代币和 NFT 的各种解决方案可分为三类。因此,引入了分类法。此外,研究还发现,数字令牌可以解决葡萄酒行业当前面临的与来源、原产地证明、真实性和欺诈防范相关的挑战。同时,利用代币还能扩大消费者与产品的互动。有可能考虑将其实体产品和服务与数字代币联系起来的管理者,可以深入了解数字代币在网络经济中的应用。

This paper theoretically models and empirically assesses the sociotechnical transition process experienced by a group of producers in southern Bahia State (Brazil). Driven by the search for economic sustainability in cocoa production, this group has achieved full sustainability through production chain upgrading, enabling the agroforestry system’s (cabruca) continuity in their properties. In order to understand how and why this process happened, our conceptual model advances on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework, as it is an applied way of analyzing different niche transformations within the same regime, a typical situation in agrifood systems in emerging markets. Our analyses and empirical evidence suggest that interpersonal relationships play a crucial role in this process, particularly developing concepts and strategies, and in establishing operational structures. Rules and structure formalization may replace interpersonal relationships, as observed when the transition goes forward. Our findings evidence knowledge gathering, cooperation among actors, and information and support exchanging as critical factors to trigger the niche transition process.
本文对巴西巴伊亚州南部一群生产者所经历的社会技术转型过程进行了理论建模和实证评估。在寻求可可生产的经济可持续性的驱动下,该群体通过生产链升级实现了完全的可持续性,使农林系统(cabruca)在其产业中得以延续。为了了解这一过程是如何发生的以及发生的原因,我们的概念模型采用了多层次视角(MLP)框架,因为它是分析同一制度下不同利基转型的一种应用方法,这也是新兴市场农粮系统中的一种典型情况。我们的分析和经验证据表明,人际关系在这一过程中发挥着至关重要的作用,尤其是在制定概念和战略以及建立运营结构方面。规则和结构的正规化可能会取代人际关系,正如在过渡时期所观察到的那样。我们的研究结果证明,知识收集、参与者之间的合作以及信息和支持交流是触发利基转型过程的关键因素。

Understanding dis-adoption of technologies by smallholder dairy farmers in Indonesia 了解印度尼西亚小农奶农不采用技术的情况

Farmer cooperatives represent a vertical coordination strategy aimed at reducing transaction costs and facilitating the adoption of technologies among farmers. In their roles, cooperatives undertake internal coordination of activities which may include enforcement measures, provision of quality inputs, internal control, and negotiation of favourable terms of exchange with buyers. However, limited attention has been given to understanding how cooperatives’ performance in the internal coordination of activities either promotes or hinders the continued adoption of agricultural technologies among cooperative members. We conducted a case study of the dairy sector in West Java, Indonesia, and utilised a mixed-method approach combining insight from dairy cooperative board members and dairy farming households. Our results suggest that the dis-adoption of dairy technologies is rooted in weak or non-existent monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to ensure input and output quality, the absence of price incentives, and inadequate provision of extension services. Furthermore, the lack of tight monitoring and control mechanisms reduces the cooperatives’ bargaining power with input providers and milk buyers. Unless these issues within the cooperatives are addressed, continued adoption of recommended dairy farming practices by smallholder farmers will not be sustained.
农民合作社是一种纵向协调战略,旨在降低交易成本,促进农民采用技术。合作社的作用是对各项活动进行内部协调,其中可能包括执行措施、提供优质投入、内部控制以及与买方谈判有利的交易条件。然而,人们对合作社在内部活动协调方面的表现如何促进或阻碍合作社成员继续采用农业技术的了解却很有限。我们对印度尼西亚西爪哇的奶制品行业进行了案例研究,并采用了混合方法,结合了奶制品合作社董事会成员和奶牛养殖户的见解。我们的研究结果表明,不采用奶业技术的根源在于确保投入和产出质量的监督和执行机制薄弱或不存在、缺乏价格激励以及推广服务不足。此外,缺乏严密的监督和控制机制也削弱了合作社与投入品提供商和牛奶买家讨价还价的能力。除非合作社内部的这些问题得到解决,否则小农将无法继续采用推荐的奶牛养殖方法。

Agritourism is considered an effective strategy for revitalizing traditional agriculture, enhancing rural economics, and achieving sustainable livelihoods. While the processes of how the conventional agrarian industry has taken up diversified management and affiliated with the creative supply of tourist services remain unclear, the theoretical interpretations of the diversification processes have yet to be articulated. This study explores agritourism innovation and proposes a conceptual framework of agritourism diversification built upon the connotations of integration of production sectors and the multi-functionality of rural and land resources. Different styles of agritourism innovation detail the progress of agritourism diversification and how various functions of farm resources are initiated and capitalized upon. Results show that diversification through agritourism has brought considerable economic returns to farms, and increased their resilience in the face of possible business challenges.
农业旅游被认为是振兴传统农业、提高农村经济和实现可持续生计的有效战略。传统农业产业如何进行多元化经营并与创造性的旅游服务供给相联系,其过程尚不清楚,而对多元化过程的理论解释也有待阐明。本研究对农业旅游创新进行了探讨,并在生产部门一体化和农村土地资源多功能性的内涵基础上,提出了农业旅游多元化的概念框架。不同风格的农家乐创新详述了农家乐多样化的进展以及如何启动和利用农业资源的各种功能。结果表明,通过农家乐实现多样化为农场带来了可观的经济收益,并增强了农场面对可能出现的商业挑战的应变能力。

Indoor agriculture is an innovative and environmentally sustainable approach to high-quality food production, utilizing advanced technology to reduce water usage by 95% and achieve a 100-fold increase in production per unit of land compared to conventional farming systems. These enclosed systems provide year-round production of pesticide-free fresh food, even in cities with less favourable climates, addressing food deserts and creating employment opportunities in urban areas. However, the industry faces significant challenges, primarily stemming from substantial investment and operating costs, exacerbated by a limited understanding of the input-output relationship within these systems. This study employs a bioeconomic framework to establish a foundational production function based on growth cycle duration (time) and required growing area (space). Through a partial budget analysis, a 19-day production schedule was identified to provide the highest contribution margin to profits. Results set the minimum size of this hypothetical lettuce indoor farm at 273 m2, rendering it suitable for installation in urban areas. The farm harvests 118 kg per day, within an 800 m2 growing area distributed across four vertically stacked shelves. Estimates of economic output sensitivity to exogenous factors in the US context are also presented, along with a comparison between cost-minimizing and revenue-maximizing strategies.
与传统农业系统相比,室内农业利用先进技术减少了 95% 的用水量,单位土地产量提高了 100 倍。即使在气候条件较差的城市,这些封闭系统也能全年生产无农药的新鲜食品,从而解决城市地区的食品荒漠问题并创造就业机会。然而,该产业面临着巨大挑战,主要原因是投资和运营成本巨大,而对这些系统内投入产出关系的了解有限又加剧了这一挑战。本研究采用生物经济学框架,根据生长周期持续时间(时间)和所需种植面积(空间)建立基础生产函数。通过部分预算分析,确定了 19 天的生产计划,以提供最高的利润贡献率。结果将该假想生菜室内农场的最小面积设定为 273 平方米,使其适合安装在城市地区。在 800 平方米的种植面积内,农场每天收获 118 公斤生菜,分布在四个垂直堆叠的架子上。此外,还介绍了美国经济产出对外生因素敏感性的估计,以及成本最小化战略和收入最大化战略之间的比较。

The beekeeping sector plays an important role in maintaining biodiversity and the ecosystem, in addition to its production function. The European beekeeping sector is facing a number of constraints that make it difficult to operate, and the Covid-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for beekeepers. The purpose of the study is to examine the resilience of beekeeping businesses to the most important problems affecting beekeepers and the Covid-19 pandemic. The research analyses the role of marketing and profitability and how they influence the resilience. Variables obtained from online questioning of a representative sample of Hungarian beekeepers (N = 297). Cluster analysis was used to validate the results. Using a Two-step clustering model, three clusters of beekeepers were identified: a non-resilient; a resilient, but not proactive and not very profitable and a resilient, proactive and profitable cluster. According to the research, the resilience of beekeepers is shaped by several factors. Well-trained, long-established beekeepers who seek to differentiate their products from their competitors’ overcome the difficulties caused by the pandemic and other beekeeping problems much more easily. Very important factors resulting in remarkable business resilience are the number of used subsidies and the number of cooperations.
养蜂业除了其生产功能外,还在维护生物多样性和生态系统方面发挥着重要作用。欧洲养蜂业正面临着许多制约因素,使其难以经营,而 Covid-19 大流行又给养蜂人带来了新的挑战。本研究的目的是考察养蜂企业对影响养蜂人的最重要问题和 Covid-19 大流行病的应变能力。研究分析了市场营销和盈利能力的作用,以及它们如何影响复原力。变量来自对具有代表性的匈牙利养蜂人样本(N = 297)的在线询问。聚类分析用于验证结果。利用两步聚类模型,确定了三个养蜂人群组:无复原力群组;有复原力但不积极主动且盈利能力不强的群组;有复原力、积极主动且盈利能力强的群组。研究表明,养蜂人的抗逆能力取决于几个因素。训练有素、历史悠久的养蜂人力求使自己的产品与竞争对手的产品区别开来,他们更容易克服大流行病和其他养蜂问题造成的困难。导致企业具有显著恢复力的非常重要的因素是使用补贴的数量和合作的数量。

The packaging practices of HelloFresh have come under scrutiny in recent years as a result of the company’s remarkable expansion success. Customers have cancelled their meal-kit subscriptions due to the excessive use of plastic packaging for ingredients. In response to these events, HelloFresh began to seek alternatives to replace plastic packaging for its ingredients, but ultimately found that the currently available packaging technology makes it impossible to eliminate plastic completely.

The packaging practices of HelloFresh have come under scrutiny in recent years as a result of the company’s remarkable expansion success. Customers have cancelled their meal-kit subscriptions due to the excessive use of plastic packaging for ingredients. In response to these events, HelloFresh began to seek alternatives to replace plastic packaging for its ingredients, but ultimately found that the currently available packaging technology makes it impossible to eliminate plastic completely. HelloFresh is therefore looking for ways to communicate with customers about its sustainability message and their actions to be cost-effective, retain food-safety, and foster sustainability with regard to packaging while making innovative changes in its packaging processes. In the current stage of the sustainability transition for packaging materials in which no ready-at-hand solutions are available, it is crucial for HelloFresh to strike a balance between converting its packaging practices to be more sustainable and communicating this message effectively to its customers.
