Abstract The continuous development of hydrogen-electrolyser and fuel-cell technologies not only reduces their investment operating costs but also improves technical performance to meet fast-acting requirements electrical grid balancing services such as frequency-response services. In order project the feasibility co-locating a hydrogen-storage system with wind farm for dynamic regulation provi...

Abstract During the last decade, post-harvest losses (PHL) reduction has been topping agenda of governments as a pathway for addressing food security, poverty, and nutrition challenges in Africa. Using survey data from 579 households, we investigated factors that affect farmers’ decisions to adopt technologies: mechanized shelling, drying tarpaulins, airtight storage validated reducing PHL Tanz...

A growing number of studies have shown that adequate spatial access to healthy foods leads to increased fresh produce consumption and reduced risk of chronic diseases. Annual dynamics of spatial access to 1,539 vendors of fresh produce (including farmers markets and roadside farm stands) are analyzed in Massachusetts. Travel distance to the nearest fresh produce vendor was calculated for each c...

This chapter analyzes the technical efficiency of banana production among Ugandan smallholders by estimating a stochastic production frontier model with inefficiency effects. The empirical models are formulated within the overarching framework of the agricultural household specified in Chapter 2. The data design is also summarized in Chapter 2, although additional information about soil quality...
