For example, agriculture is a major driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss; 1 contributes to about 90% of reactive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs, as well as most of the pesticide chemicals inputs, 2, 3 from human activities to the Earth's biogeochemical cycles; 4 accounts for 21%-37% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions ...
Research impact assessment in agricultureāA review of approaches and
1. Introduction. Research has multiple impacts on society. In the light of the international discourse on grand societal challenges and sustainable development, the debate is reinforced about the role of research on economic growth, societal well-being, and environmental integrity ().Research impact assessment (RIA) is a key instrument to exploring this role ().
Agricultural Research: Applications and Future Orientations
For example, Theory of Agricultural Ethics and Human Liability (Zamani 2016) is one of the theories that have resulted from basic research in the field of agriculture. Applied agricultural research is a kind of research which its results are used to meet the needs and solve agricultural problems (Shiri et al. 2011 ; Valizadeh et al. 2018a ).
Quantitative assessment for sustainable agriculture
Summary: Scientists have assembled a quantitative assessment for agriculture sustainability for countries around the world based not only on environmental impacts, but economic and social impacts ...
Mathematical models in agriculture: quantitative methods for the plant
Bringing together the disciplines of agriculture, animal science, plant science and ecology, this book explores how mathematics can be used to understand and explain agricultural processes. It starts by providing a review of the mathematical models currently available to agriculturalists, and the philosophy behind, and objectives of, modeling.
Quantitative assessment of agricultural sustainability reveals
Sustainable agriculture has been difficult to define or measure, due to its complex mixture of environmental, social, and economic concerns. We present and analyze a new set of country-level, multidisciplinary, and quantitative indicators of sustainable agriculture to show historical trends, identify needed areas of improvement, and investigate trade-offs and synergies among indicators. This ...
First-of-its-kind quantitative assessment for sustainable agriculture
The Sustainable Agriculture Matrix, or SAM, provides independent and transparent measurements of agricultural sustainability at a national level that can help governments and organizations to ...
A Quantitative Approach to Innovation in Agricultural Value ...
The aim is to develop a quantitative framework to explore the links between value chains and small-scale innovation in an agricultural context. Even with a revived emphasis on industrialisation, the agricultural sector is crucial in many countries, especially in the global South, and also acts as a key food supplier to the global North (Neilson ...
Metrology, Agriculture and Food: Literature Quantitative Analysis
The overall landscape of the literature in the research field of metrology, agriculture and food relationships has been investigated through a bibliometric analysis. The literature quantitative research analysis consisted in the following main steps: (i) literature search based on Scopus online database; (ii) data extraction and analysis.
Basic Statistical Analysis for On-Farm Research
Basic Statistical Analysis for On-Farm Research. or call (301) 779-1007 to order. Statistical analysis involves a sequence of mathematical computations for comparing treatments and evaluating whether any observed differences are truly a result of the change in practices, or if the differences may be due to chance and natural variation.
A tutorial on the statistical analysis of factorial experiments with
In this paper, the basics of the statistical analysis of designed experiments are discussed using real examples from agricultural field trials. Factorial designs allow for the study of two or more treatment factors in the same experiment, and here we discuss the analysis of factorial designs for both qualitative and quantitative level treatment ...
Sustaining growth in agriculture: A quantitative review of agricultural
Growth in agriculture depends on many things but one of the most important is investment in agricultural research. Decision making in the agricultural research policy area can only be aided by access to better information. ...

R ECENT trends in quantitative research in economics have
the actual quantitative values of the elasticities with which the various groups in the economy respond to price and income changes. The main objective of quantitative research in this field is, then, to measure the network of economic relationships that explains the functioning and the results of this mutual interdependence between the two ...
The Benefits from Agricultural Research and Development, Innovation
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.
Common Research Designs for Farmers
Typically, plots run the length of the field and are one or two tractor widths in order to facilitate management. Figure 4 shows the layout for a typical paired comparison experiment. In collecting yield data or other samples from the field, measurements are generally taken from the center rows of a plot in order to avoid any "edge effects."
Research methods in rural studies: Qualitative, quantitative and mixed
In this paper, we analyze the use of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods in the field of rural studies by means of a content analysis of the leading journals. We begin with a short discussion of the pros and cons of mixed methods research in rural studies. We then move on to the empirical portion.

The field of education has been identified as applied-soft by Biglan (1973b). Thus, ... consideration when using theory in quantitative research in agricultural education. To accomplish this purpose, several objectives were constructed: 1. Clarify the definition of theory in quantitative research in agricultural education;
Farmers as Researchers: Inādepth Interviews to Discern Participant
C hallenges facing agricultural production systems are complex. Knowledge is important to achieving greater efficiencies to meet global food demand. Collaborative approaches between researchers and farmers have been recommended as a means to provide a stream of information to address these challenges (Cook et al., 2013).Historically, extension has sought to transfer this knowledge to farmers.
Comparison of qualitative and quantitative approaches to soil quality
1. Introduction. In the last two decades, assessments of soil quality and measurement of the impact of management practices aimed at improving it have been the topic of considerable discussion in agricultural circles (Andrews, Karlen, & Cambardella, Citation 2004).Efforts to assess dynamic soil quality (qualitatively or quantitatively) have been complicated with establishing a consensus on a ...
PDF Rural Growth and Development Revisited Study: Agricultural Research
A. Asian Private Agricultural Research ... (2003) cited some examples of direct impact such as increase in micronutrient contents of food by commercial farmers, and increase value-addition and high-value crops/livestock and technologies to reduce production risks in small farms. Some indirect impacts are: promote labor-
