In recent years, despite its hostile environment and harsh climate, the wilaya of Ghardaïa has emerged as a leader in dairy production in southern Algeria. This article sought to analyze how the innovation system in the dairy sector has, positively or negatively, influenced the development of the sector in this region and identify the socio-economic factors and institutions that have contributed to it. To do so, a functional-structural approach was taken. The data used were collected from semi-directive interviews and focus groups with different stakeholders involved in the dairy milk sector. Market restructuring, but also the collective organization, which is very common in the region, were found to be the main factors positively affecting the dairy sector. In addition, lobbying by the dairies and the asymmetry of power between dairy farmers and agri-food industrialists, a lack of collaboration and interaction between actors, a lack of coordination in knowledge development, and a lack of formal financing mechanisms to invest in livestock, turned out to be the factors hindering the innovation system. Finally, although the dairy sector in Ghardaïa attracts investors from the North of Algeria, and is thus apronounced success in economic and organizational terms, the question of its sustainability is not being considered in these southern territories.
近年来,尽管环境恶劣,气候恶劣,加尔达伊亚地区已成为阿尔及利亚南部乳制品生产的领导者。本文试图分析乳制品行业的创新体系对该地区乳制品行业发展的积极或消极影响,并确定促成这一影响的社会经济因素和制度。为此,采用了功能结构方法。所使用的数据是从半指导性访谈和与乳制品行业不同利益相关者的焦点小组中收集的。市场重组,以及在该地区非常常见的集体组织,被发现是对乳制品行业产生积极影响的主要因素。此外,奶牛场的游说、奶农和农业食品实业家之间的权力不对称、行为者之间缺乏合作和互动、知识开发缺乏协调以及缺乏投资牲畜的正式融资机制,都是阻碍创新体系的因素。最后,尽管加尔达的乳制品行业吸引了来自阿尔及利亚北部的投资者,因此在经济和组织方面取得了短暂的成功,但在这些南部地区,其可持续性问题没有得到考虑。

Research on organic consumers’ preferences has been given a lot of attention in thepast, analysing in detail the motives of organic food consumption across the World.Less attention has been paid to the expectations of consumers change in the contextof growing complexities of sustainable agriculture. The main goal of this study is toexplore how the ongoing changes of the organic sector are reflected in consumers’perspectives of organic agriculture and their preferences for organic food quality. Thestudy was conducted in Italy with the use of the Q-methodology with a Q-set of 44statements and a P-set of 20 participants. Three main groups of consumers wereidentified: “Mainstreaming for the better good”, “Critical supporters looking for more”,“Organic intensification supporters”. Despite each ideal-typical group showing differentperceptions of the future of the organic movement, they all shared similar policyimplications. Three main topics of discussion emerged from the results of this studywhich are: the expectations of the consumers towards the future of the organicmovement, the role of trust in purchasing behaviors and the importance of supportingrural development.
过去,对有机消费者偏好的研究受到了广泛关注,详细分析了世界各地有机食品消费的动机。在可持续农业日益复杂的背景下,人们对消费者变化的预期关注较少。本研究的主要目的是探讨有机部门的持续变化如何反映在消费者对有机农业的看法以及他们对有机食品质量的偏好中。这项研究是在意大利进行的,使用Q方法,Q集为44个陈述,P集为20个参与者。确定了三个主要的消费者群体:“为更好的利益而主流化”、“寻求更多的批判性支持者”和“有机强化支持者”。尽管每个理想的典型群体对有机运动的未来都表现出不同的看法,但他们都有相似的政策含义。本研究的结果产生了三个主要的讨论主题,即:消费者对组织运动未来的期望、信任在购买行为中的作用以及支持组织发展的重要性。

In Tunisia, food security policies’ objectives are increasing production to satisfy the growing demand and reduce the food deficit rate (35% per year). Since 1980, intensive production system and government subsidies for basic commodities were used to enhance food availability. This article aims to analyze food quantitative security policy impact on Tunisian consumption model versus Mediterranean diet and to readjust policies for qualitative food security. Based on five-year National Statistics Institute surveys on household consumption from 1985 to 2015, ANOVA analysis shows the need to address rural and urban consumption separately. Three groups were identified through clustering by consumption deviation degree compared to 1985. Variables of consumption evolution were determined by linear regression: price, income, location, domestic production and a quality factor measuring the conformity degree with Mediterranean diet. In order to achieve a better adherence to Mediterranean diet, new measures and synergy should take place at several levels policy makers, producers and consumers.
在突尼斯,粮食安全政策的目标是增加产量以满足不断增长的需求,并降低粮食赤字率(每年35%)。自1980年以来,密集型生产系统和政府对基本商品的补贴被用来增加粮食供应。本文旨在分析粮食数量安全政策对突尼斯消费模式和地中海饮食的影响,并重新调整质量粮食安全政策。根据国家统计局1985年至2015年对家庭消费的五年调查,方差分析表明,有必要分别解决农村和城市消费问题。与1985年相比,通过消费偏离度聚类确定了三个群体。消费演变的变量通过线性回归确定:价格、收入、地点、国内生产和衡量与地中海饮食一致程度的质量因素。为了更好地坚持地中海饮食,政策制定者、生产商和消费者应在多个层面采取新措施并发挥协同作用。

The purpose of the study is to investigate and compare consumers' food safety perceptions in three Mediterranean countries (Greece, Italy, and Spain). A survey was carried out based on a structured questionnaire focusing on food safety-related issues concerning food characteristics, the labeling of systems implemented by food companies such as the Quality Management System and the Food Safety Management System, consumer trust in the food supply chain, and consumer illusion of food control. Information was collected from individuals located in those three countries (2,664 respondents), which share common characteristics. The results indicate that there is a significant heterogeneity in consumers' food safety perceptions in the three countries. The Spanish sample has the greatest level of trust in the supply chain in terms of food safety and the highest level of illusion of food control. The Italians evaluate the food characteristics and the QMS-FSMS's labeling higher than the Spanish and the Greeks. This multinational study brings to light the different types of food safety concerns of consumers from three Mediterranean countries.
本研究的目的是调查和比较三个地中海国家(希腊、意大利和西班牙)的消费者对食品安全的看法。本次调查以结构化问卷为基础,重点关注食品安全相关问题,包括食品特性、食品公司实施的质量管理体系和食品安全管理体系等系统的标签、消费者对食品供应链的信任以及消费者对食品控制的幻想。信息是从这三个国家的个人(2664名受访者)那里收集的,他们有着共同的特点。结果表明,这三个国家的消费者对食品安全的认知存在显著的异质性。西班牙样本在食品安全方面对供应链的信任程度最高,对食品控制的幻想程度最高。意大利人对食物特性和QMS-FSMS标签的评价高于西班牙人和希腊人。这项跨国研究揭示了来自三个地中海国家的消费者对食品安全的不同担忧。

This research aims to determine the effect of consumers' perceptions of GI on purchasing 6 intention. Data were obtained from surveys conducted with 384 consumers in Turkey. 7 Structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the data. According to the results, 8 62.5% of the consumers have information about foods with GI while 58.9% of the consumers 9 consume foods with GI. The SEM results indicated that food with GI perception had a 10 statistically significant and positive effect on the intention to purchase foods with GI. 11 Consumers want to buy geographically marked foods as they are "healthier", "higher quality", 12 and "more reliable”. Consumers have positive opinions about foods with GI, and are willing 13 to pay more for them. The fact consumer perceptions do not change is closely related to the 14 performance of products with GI. Monitoring the production processes of GI foods that are 15 more delicious, healthier, reliable, and ensuring the continuity in product quality will increase 16 the demand of consumers for geographically marked foods.
本研究旨在确定消费者对地理标志的感知对购买意愿的影响。数据来自对土耳其384名消费者进行的调查。7结构方程模型(SEM)用于分析数据。结果显示,62.5%的消费者了解GI食品信息,58.9%的消费者消费GI食品。扫描电镜结果表明,具有GI感知的食品对具有GI感知的食品的购买意愿有10显著的正向影响。消费者希望购买有地理标志的食品,因为它们“更健康”、“质量更高”、“更可靠”。消费者对含有GI的食品有积极的看法,并愿意为它们支付更多的钱。消费者观念不变的事实与具有GI的产品的性能密切相关。监测更美味、更健康、更可靠的GI食品的生产过程,并确保产品质量的连续性,将增加消费者对地理标记食品的需求。

Due to the Syrian Civil War, many Syrians have had to flee their country and seek refuge in neighbouring countries, and they face a great deal of financial and social problems in their new countries of residence. Problems such as language barriers and hostility from the host community make it difficult for refugees to integrate into the countries which took them in, and the fact that they must become a part of the work force as a matter of priority to meet their daily needs means that they often work unskilled jobs for low wages and are not registered in any official systems. The structural properties of the agricultural sector means that it is one of the most popular work areas for Syrian migrants. This study aims to evaluate the circumstances of Syrian individuals under temporary protection status in Turkey in the agricultural sector from the perspective of farmers. To this end, a survey was conducted with 395 farmers working in the agricultural sector in the province of Gaziantep. According to the findings of the research, 61.5% of agricultural businesses in Gaziantep employ Syrian refugees. The main reason for farmers opting to employ Syrian workers under temporary protection order is low wages (78.8%). 82.9% of Syrian refugees work only during harvesting season. 92.4% work both harvesting and hoeing, while 79.2% of business owners state that employing refugees allows them to decreased their production costs. Despite the presence of legal regulations in Turkey outlining how refugees can become a part of the labour force, these haven’t prevented the prevalence of off-the-books employment. Making the necessary amendments to legal regulations regarding seasonal workers in the agricultural sector would benefit both local workers and Syrian refugees. Additionally, legislation regarding salaries would improve the living standards of refugee workers and increase their motivation to work, thus improve productivity in agricultural products.
由于叙利亚内战,许多叙利亚人不得不逃离自己的国家,到邻国避难,他们在新的居住国面临着大量的经济和社会问题。语言障碍和来自收容社区的敌意等问题使难民难以融入收容他们的国家,而且他们必须作为优先事项成为劳动力的一部分以满足日常需求,这意味着他们往往从事低工资的非技术性工作,而且没有在任何官方系统中登记。农业部门的结构特点意味着它是叙利亚移民最受欢迎的工作领域之一。本研究旨在从农民的角度评估在土耳其农业部门处于临时保护地位的叙利亚个人的情况。为此,对加济安泰普省农业部门的395名农民进行了调查。根据研究结果,加济安泰普61.5%的农业企业雇佣叙利亚难民。农民选择根据临时保护令雇佣叙利亚工人的主要原因是工资低(78.8%)。82.9%的叙利亚难民只在收获季节工作。92.4%的人同时从事收割和锄地工作,而79.2%的企业主表示,雇佣难民可以降低他们的生产成本。尽管土耳其有法律法规概述了难民如何成为劳动力的一部分,但这些法规并没有阻止帐外就业的盛行。对农业部门季节性工人的法律法规进行必要的修正,将使当地工人和叙利亚难民都受益。此外,有关工资的立法将提高难民工人的生活水平,增加他们工作的动力,从而提高农产品的生产力。

Digital transformation and the digitalization of economic activity are ongoing trends profoundly shaping the global economy. Digitalization reflects digital inputs in the production process and new household and government consumption modes, investment possibilities, and financial instruments, increasingly envisaged by digital technologies and tools. This is also impacting the labour markets, on the one hand substituting machines to labour for routinized tasks and thus decreasing the demand for soft skills labour, but on the other hand, increasing the need for new professions revolving around new production and consumption modalities and digital skills. Considering these contrasting effects, it is essential to estimate the overall impact of digitalization on employment. Therefore, this study captures the impact of economic growth and digitalization on unemployment change, evaluating a modified version of Okun’s Law on a balanced panel data set for 58 countries between 2013 and 2019. The results from the estimation of a fixed-effect model show the empirical validity of Okun’s law for the sampled countries and a significant contribution of digitalization on unemployment reduction.
数字化转型和经济活动数字化是深刻塑造全球经济的持续趋势。数字化反映了生产过程中的数字化投入,以及越来越多地由数字技术和工具设想的新的家庭和政府消费模式、投资可能性和金融工具。这也影响了劳动力市场,一方面用机器代替劳动力完成常规任务,从而减少了对软技能劳动力的需求,但另一方面,围绕新的生产和消费方式以及数字技能,增加了对新职业的需求。考虑到这些不同的影响,有必要估计数字化对就业的总体影响。因此,本研究捕捉了经济增长和数字化对失业变化的影响,在2013年至2019年58个国家的平衡面板数据集上评估了修改后的奥肯定律。固定效应模型的估计结果表明,奥肯定律对样本国家的实证有效性和数字化对减少失业的显著贡献。

Agricultural research in Ghana has resulted in a number of innovations targeted at increasing the productivity of small agricultural businesses. However, none of these studies has investigated the factors that influence the adoption of technological innovation in Ghanaian agriculture businesses. Hence, this study examine the factors that influence the adoption of technological innovation in Ghanaian agribusinesses. Structural equation modeling was used to examine data collected from 1526 agribusiness employees in Ghana using a convenience sampling technique and a questionnaire survey. The findings indicate that internal, and external factors have an impact on information and communication technology (ICT), and new materials and technology (NM & NT), but no or little impact on biotechnology (BT) respectively. Also, the study reveal that human capital factors have a substantial impact on ICT, BT, and NM & NT. Lastly, the findings show that ICT, BT, and NM & NT have a positive and significant impact on technological innovation. The study underscores the need for agribusinesses to focus on internal and human capital factors since they increase employees' productivity and efficiency.
加纳的农业研究产生了一系列旨在提高小型农业企业生产力的创新。然而,这些研究都没有调查影响加纳农业企业采用技术创新的因素。因此,本研究考察了影响加纳农业综合企业采用技术创新的因素。采用结构方程模型,采用方便抽样技术和问卷调查,对加纳1526名农业综合企业员工的数据进行了检验。研究结果表明,内部和外部因素对信息通信技术和新材料与技术有影响,但对生物技术没有影响或影响很小。研究还表明,人力资本因素对ICT、BT和NM&NT有显著影响。最后,研究结果表明,ICT、BT、NM&NT对技术创新有积极而显著的影响。该研究强调,农业综合企业需要关注内部和人力资本因素,因为它们可以提高员工的生产力和效率。

This paper aims to assess and to analyze the sustainability of Tunisian olive growing system. Results show two types of farms in this sector. The first one is the traditional farms. The second is the modern farms. The sustainable value method (SV_method) inspired from the "ADVANCE" approach showed that those who adopt the modern management of the olive tree are more sustainable than the traditional type. In fact, the modern group presents a positive sustainable value. However, the traditional group recorded less efficient values than the Benchmark. Indeed, its Sustainable Value is negative, which means that the farms belonging to this group are not economically viable. Therefore, the traditional mode of management and the lack of innovation threaten future farming and viability of traditional olive tree farms. Furthermore, since most of these farms are family type, the cultural utility, which explains the current existence of these farms, will be insufficient and decision-makers must enhance the adoption of new governance models.
本文旨在评估和分析突尼斯橄榄种植系统的可持续性。结果显示,该行业有两种类型的农场。第一个是传统的农场。第二个是现代化的农场。受“ADVANCE”方法启发的可持续价值方法(SV_method)表明,采用现代橄榄树管理的人比传统类型的人更具可持续性。事实上,现代群体呈现出积极的可持续价值。然而,传统集团的价值记录不如基准。事实上,其可持续价值是负的,这意味着属于这一群体的农场在经济上不可行。因此,传统的管理模式和缺乏创新威胁着传统橄榄树农场未来的耕种和生存能力。此外,由于这些农场大多是家庭型的,解释这些农场目前存在的文化效用将是不够的,决策者必须加强采用新的治理模式。

In recent years, there has been a significant change in Turkey's agricultural support policies, especially on livestock supports. The livestock support, with a share less than 5% in total has in early 2000s has reached up to 35% at the end of 2020. In order to understand the impact of increase in livestock supports, 11 years of livestock support and livestock presence in 81 provinces in Turkey were analyzed via Panel ARDL method. The results of the analysis revealed that support to livestock does not affect the number of livestock in the short term, but has a positive effect in the long run. Furthermore, both in the short and long term, the increase in prices in the livestock sector increases the livestock fund. Eventhough increases in feed prices harm livestock presence in short run as expected, this negative effect disappears in the long run. The production effect of minimum wage variable is added to the model considering the unique situation of Turkey, which effects the production negative in the short run, but positive in the long run.
近年来,土耳其的农业支持政策发生了重大变化,特别是在畜牧业支持方面。畜牧业支持在21世纪初的总份额不到5%,到2020年底已达到35%。为了了解牲畜支持增加的影响,通过Panel ARDL方法分析了土耳其81个省11年的牲畜支持和牲畜存在情况。分析结果表明,对牲畜的支持在短期内不会影响牲畜数量,但从长远来看会产生积极影响。此外,从短期和长期来看,畜牧业价格的上涨增加了畜牧基金。尽管饲料价格的上涨在短期内如预期的那样损害了牲畜的生存,但从长远来看,这种负面影响会消失。考虑到土耳其的独特情况,在模型中加入了最低工资变量的生产效应,这在短期内对生产产生了负面影响,但在长期内是积极的。
