متن کاملPotential Challenges to the Adoption of Organic Poultry Farming in Nigeria: A Review
This paper considers the potential problems that may militate against the adoption of organic poultry production in Nigeria. Factors identified include: higher risk of diseases like coccidiosis and Newcastle disease, disease prevention and control / herd health management, disease containment in times of outbreak, land acquisition (land tenure system), market economies / cost-benefit ratio, pas...
متن کاملLandscape Outcomes in a Model of Edge-Effect Externalities: A Computational Economics Approach∗
This paper examines the impact of distance-dependent spatial externalities, referred to as “edge-effect externalities”, on free-market equilibrium land use patterns. Under edge-effect externalities, maximization of production possibilities will depend on minimization of landscape fragmentation, implying that both the correct allocation and the correct arrangement of land uses will be necessary ...
