Farm Profits, Prices and Household BehaviorThe farm household model, in which decisions about production and consumption are made simultaneously, lies at the heart of many models of development. EmpiricaLaFave, DanPeet, EvanThomas, DuncanSocial Science Electronic Publishing...
a transformative approach to agroecosystem management, rather than efficiency-based or substitution-oriented practices adopted by conventional and transitioning farmers. While farms in transition reported more difficult working conditions and lower incomes, agroecological farmers had similar per capita working...
Consequently, several considerations relevant to the development of the right incentive mechanisms for animal welfare remains of longstanding interest. These include: the elicitation of preferences (e.g., Ufer et al.2022; Kaminski et al.2024; Boaitey et al.2022); public behavior in different regul...
A growing body of literature has used micro-level data to analyze the effects of mobile phone use on market access, input and output prices, agricultural production patterns, and household income (Donner, 2007, Jensen, 2007, Aker, 2010, Aker, 2011, Aker and Mbiti, 2010, Kikulwe et al.,...
The major steps in the IFS approach are the characterization of the prevailing farming system, identification of production constraints, maximization of production and profits through cost-effective socially acceptable interventions to overcome the constraints6. Within the single farming system, there exists...
However, no previous work systematically analyzed effects of supermarkets on farmgate prices, even though prices are important determinants of farmers’ profits and livelihoods. Here, we use data from smallholder vegetable growers in India to compare output prices received in supermarket and traditional ...

Household model with endogenous...
profits that are passed onto farmworkers. However, increased costs associated with AFS production may offset these profits, actually decreasing employee wages (Hardesty and Leff2010). Other researchers have found that prices have little impact on farmworker incomes (Costa and Martin2020). These ...
Such a model integrates consumer behavior, producer decisions and market clearing by traders for all commodities simultaneously, capturing also the impact of government policies and world market prices. The general structure of applied general equilibrium models is explained in (Ginsburgh and Keyzer, ...
