This article wants to propose this theory that Farm Corporations are agropolitan development models in Iran. As over-concentrating investments to the urban areas did not lead to a trickledown effect to the rural areas. To the extreme, there are ideas to minimize linkages with the urban economy, and to make the rural areas pursue self-sufficiency by maximizing its potentials. However, against th...

The four profitability measures recommended by the Farm Financial Standards Task Force have limitations for examining wealth creation. Non-farm corporations, by contrast, have started to use Economic Value Added (EVA) to measure wealth creation. EVA has some advantages over other financial ratios because it fully accounts for the resources used on the farm and it includes both realized and unre...

This paper proposes a two-phase metaheuristic approach to planning daily farm work for agriculture production corporations. The two-phase metaheuristic contains the optimization of resources assignment and searching schedule based on Genetic Algorithm and hybrid Petri nets model. In the experiment, the effect on optimizing the resource assignment and priority list, initializing population of GA...

Scheduling problems for general cases are characterized as NP hard, and the computation time required to obtain the optimal schedule will grow exponentially with the problem size. The scheduling problems that consider the limited or shared resources, alterable constraints or environmental changes become very complex in both formulation and solution. Since the solution for these problems has gre...

This manuscript considers the current and possible institutions (programs, policies, participants, etc.) that govern public Business Risk Management (BRM) in Canada. This is an important policy topic for two reasons: BRM spending accounts for the vast majority of public monies funnelled to Canadian agricultural producers and the upcoming agricultural policy framework presents an opportunity to ...

This study examines the impacts of partnerships for sustainability certifications in coffee value chains on farm income Lampung Province, Sumatra-Indonesia. We conducted farm-household surveys, interviewing 171 samples West and Tanggamus Districts, consisting 98 farmers joining partnership 73 not joining. A probit model is used to determine decisions join partnership; ordinary least square (OLS...

The growing demand for wind power has resulted in a market that naturally favors development of new wind farms over improvement of their performance. A chain of opportunities for performance improvement of any wind energy project parallels the supply chain activities. Raising energy and transportation costs are a complicating factor of the performance improvement projects. One of the weakest po...
