The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of agricultural policies on promoting the resilience of Palestinian farmers, as the study followed the quantitative and qualitative approach that relies on studying the phenomenon as it exists in reality and is concerned with describing it as an accurate and quantitative and qualitative expression. To achieve the objectives of the study, an interview was designed and directed to a sample Made up of five experts specialized in agricultural affairs. A questionnaire was also designed and directed to a sample of (150) farmers. The results of the study revealed that the impact of agricultural policies contributes to strengthening the steadfastness of Palestinian farmers, with an average of (3.4), with a medium degree. Sufficiency for Palestinian farmers. In light of the results, the study recommended the need for the Palestinian government to increase the share of agriculture in the general budget, since the agricultural sector is in a dangerous condition and must be taken care of, and the need to encourage farms and notify them of safety by protecting the market, by preventing the entry of non-local products, especially those of the Israeli occupation (being competition For local products, by lowering their prices) to ensure that the farmer sells his crops.

PurposeThis paper systematically reviewed the contributions of the recent Nigerian government agricultural policies and the impacts on the agricultural value chain system in line with the structural transformation of the sector and the Nigeria's vision 20:2020. The study also suggest strategies to upgrading various segments of the agricultural value chain and argue that Nigeria's agricultural sector requires huge investments and innovative ideas to increase production and create value addition across the most profitable areas of the value chain.Design/methodology/approachThe authors systematically present evidences and data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (the apex monetary authority of Nigeria) and Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (oversees and publishes statistics for Nigeria) to estimate the impact of Government agricultural policies on the value chains system.FindingsThe study discovers that the various recent government policy interventions to tackle the austere challenges in the agricultural sector are yet to yield much significant solution. Given to the dwindling performance of the sector, the Nigerian agricultural value chain is somewhat affected with systemic and services gaps which underpin the market failures (missing markets and weak markets), although the agricultural value chain has the potential of triggering economic growth in a higher scale with a trickle-down effect to other sectors of the Nigerian economy.Practical implicationsOverall, the findings indicate strategies to upgrading the production and processing segments of the agricultural value chain and argues that Nigeria's agricultural sector requires huge investments and innovative ideas to increase production and create value addition across the most profitable areas of the value chain.Social implicationsThe study proves that enhancing value addition in the agricultural sector is imperative to achieving triple-benefits of increasing productivity by building resilient systems that leverage on finance opportunities, deepening economic inclusive growth and achieving great milestones.Originality/valueThis study is the first attempt to focus on agricultural value chain system in line with the structural transformation and the Nigeria's vision 20:2020.

The Impact

Agriculture is a sector that is widely known to be impacted not only by the natural conditions of a country but also by other economic and political sectors. Turkish agriculture, in a context marked in recent years by a rural exodus of young people, marks the vagueness of the current state of the agricultural sector and its future. It is with this in mind that this research was carried out, based on a questionnaire survey of 312 producers in 5 provinces of Turkey, to assess the impact of the ageing of the rural population on the agricultural sector. The results of this study show that with age, producers invest less in agricultural activity, altogether abandoning productions requiring more labour. The possibility of taking over the family farm by descendants plays an important role in the degree of involvement of producers. Through these findings, this study makes it possible to address targeted agricultural policies according to age stages.

The Impact

Climbing bean is a potential solution to increase the agricultural sector productivity and sustainability. Using nationally representative bean-producing household data collected in Rwanda, this study identifies factors that influence the decision to switch from cultivating bush to climbing bean and quantifies the impact of climbing bean adoption on yield. About 50% of bean-producing households grow climbing bean, a substantial increase over the past 15 years. Elevation, population pressure, and drought shocks are important drivers of climbing bean adoption. Adoption of climbing bean increases yield by 23% among adopters and has the potential to increase yield by 48% for non-adopters. Findings from this study provide important information for the development of agricultural policies and programs in Rwanda and elsewhere.

COVID-19 пандемиясы ауылшаруашылық және орман шаруашылығы нарықтары үшін қысқа мерзімді соққы болды, бірақ ұзақ мерзімді әсерлері әлі анық емес. Ұзақ мерзімді тенденциялар туралы сенімді ақпараттың болмауына байланысты, қазіргі кезде белгісіздік жағдайында болашақ азық-түлік қауіпсіздігі мен саланың кірістеріне қатты әсер ететін аграрлық саясат шеңберінде шешімдер қабылдануда. Қазақстан үкіметі ауылшаруашылығында және агро азық-түлік нарығында бірқатар шаралар қабылдады. Алайда, ауылшаруашылық экономикасы үшін пандемияға байланысты тәуекелдер сақталуда және оларды азайту үшін қысқа мерзімді, орта мерзімді және ұзақ мерзімді шаралар қажет. Біз 1991 жылдан бергі кезеңде ауыл шаруашылығының жалпы өнімінің (көрсетілетін қызметтерінің) нақты көлем индексінің серпінін талдау аясында COVID-19 пандемиясының Қазақстанның ауыл шаруашылығы саласына әсерін болжауға әрекет жасадық. Қазақстан экономикасының маңызды секторларының бірі бола отырып, ауыл шаруашылығы қазақстандықтарды қажетті азық-түлікпен және өмір сүру қаражатымен қамтамасыз етеді. Сондықтан біздің зерттеуіміз COVID-19 қарсылығын жалғастырудың алғышарты болып табылады және директивалық органдарға тиімді ауылшаруашылық саясатын жасауға көмектеседі. Зерттеу максималды ықтималдылық әдісін қолданды. Біздің есептеулеріміз бойынша Қазақстанда алдағы 3 жылда ауыл шаруашылығы өнімдерін өндіру индексінің өсу үрдісі 105,7 -106,2% деңгейінде сақталуы тиіс. Экспорттың аздап қысқаруы және агроөнеркәсіптік сектор өнімдері импортының өсуі болжанып отыр.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a serious short-term (immediate) shock to markets of agricultural and forestry industries, but the long-term implications are not yet clear. Due to the lack of reliable information on long-term trends, decisions in agricultural policy are now being formulated that will have a strong impact on the future food safety and profitability of the industry in the face of uncertainty. The government of Kazakhstan has taken a number of measures in the field of agriculture and the agri-food market. However, the risks to the agricultural economy in relation with the pandemic remain, and to reduce these risks, short-term, medium-term and long-term measures are necessary. We have made an attempt to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan, in the light of the analysis of the dynamics of the index of the physical volume of gross agricultural output (services) for the period since 1991. Being one of the most important sectors of the economy of Kazakhstan,agriculture provides Kazakhstanis with the necessary products and means of subsistence. Therefore, our study is a prerequisite for continuing resistance to COVID-19 and can help policy makers develop effective agricultural policies. The study used the maximum likelihood method. According to our calculations, the growth trend of the agricultural production index in Kazakhstan should continue in the next 3 years at the level of 105.7 -106.2%. A slight decline in exports and an increase in imports of agricultural products are projected.

Rural structural transformation is best defined as structural changes in the rural areas occasioned by government policies and programmes with the intention of altering the contributions of major sector of the economy for the enhancement of agricultural sector. The study aimed at investigating the impact of rural structural transformation on agricultural productivity in Nigeria. The methodology adopted for the study was Structural Autoregression (SVAR). Six variables of expenditure on education (EXPE), expenditure on health (EXPH), expenditure on electricity (EXPEL), expenditure on telecommunication (EXPTC), expenditure on roads and construction (EXPRC) and expenditure on agriculture (EXPA). Of the six explanatory variables only expenditure on agriculture was found to be negatively related to agricultural productivity, while the others were positively related to it. Several reasons of which of official corruption by the handlers of agricultural funds could possibly be one of the reasons for the negative relationship between expenditure on agriculture and agricultural productivity. Among many other recommendations was the need to provide clinics and health centres to the rural areas, provision of good and accessible roads, provision of electricity and internet facilities. This will act as motivating factors in curbing rural-urban migration, and by extension improve the lots of agricultural productivity in Nigeria.

The Impact

In agricultural economics, one of the greatest weaknesses in mathematical programming models for the evaluation of agricultural processes is the calibration of the model in a base year. The reason for this is that it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to introduce all the variables affecting farmers’ decisions in the models and thus obtain reliable results. This chapter presents a method for calibrating mathematical programming models using limited information. From the mathematical programming properties, by using the dual form of the original model, this methodology allows the model results to reproduce the situation existing in a baseline situation of the unit (farm, region) modelled. This method, called Positive Mathematical Programming, is currently being used in a great number of analyses of new agricultural policies. In this chapter it is applied to analyse the impact of recent measures of the European Common Agricultural Policy in Spain.

The research method uses a qualitative approach in the integrated Islamic high school Ummul Quro Bogor, West Java. The results showed that a) there were four stages of using ICT in the learning process, namely; emerging, applying, integrating dan transforming. PAI teachers are already at the integrating stage. In other words, ICT has been integrated into the PAI learning curriculum. b) supporting factors for the use of ICT are the existence of ICT support facilities, the availability of qualified educators, the commitment of the school to implement ICT in every PAI learning. c) Inhibiting factors in the use of ICT are aspects of financing ICT facilities require a large budget. Some elderly teachers have difficulty using ICT in the learning process. Besides, the internet network is unstable. d) The impact of the use of ICT is very significant on PAI learning process. e) the existence of ICT devices not only as a support but already as an important component in the education system. The research led to the recommendation of the need for government support in the form of concern for ICT in terms of policies, facilities, workforce, budget, and organizing training in the use of ICT for PAI teachers to improve their professionalism. Therefore, further research is suggested regarding the effectiveness of the use of ICT in the learning process of PAI.
