Have agricultural and applied economists lost sight of the land‐grant mission? A textual analysis of Presidential Addresses and Invited Papers from 1919–2022

AbstractAgricultural and applied economists have maintained a public discourse at the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) meetings and subsequently published papers discussing the mission of land‐grant institutions and the role of AAEA members in that mission. With a content analysis of 4001 Invited Papers and Presidential Speeches, we find agricultural and applied economists questioned their profession's purpose and role within the land‐grant system. The reflective questions still apply to land‐grant institutions and the agricultural and applied economics profession. We argue that AAEA members are crucial in addressing the food and agricultural challenges connected to society's deepest needs today and into the future.

A call for justice work in agricultural and applied economics

AbstractThis presidential address calls the membership to explore ways of doing justice work in their research, teaching, extension, and outreach activities. By sharing my story and developing a content analysis of presidential addresses and invited papers published in the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association journals, I demonstrate how race has shaped my work and the need for additional work in this area. Through this example, I hope that members of the profession will find new inspiration to do justice work.

It is with great honour; we present the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Environmental Ecology of Food Security (ICEFS) which was organized by the Socio-Economic Department Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Mataram in collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture University of Mataram, Study program of Agribusiness Hasanuddin University, Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Halu Oleo, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Tadulako, Politeknik Pembangunan Pertanian Gowa, Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Sulawesi Barat, Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Udayana, Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Nusa Cendana, LPPM Universitas Musamus Merauke, Indonesian Agricultural Economic Association (PERHEPI), Agriculture Association of Indonesia, Nutrition and Food Experts Society of Indonesia, and Indonesian Agronomy Association and held in the 19-20 of May 2022. The Proceedings of the previous conferences in this series have been published in the IOP conference series: Earth and Environmental Science (EES).The proceeding of the 2nd ICEFS 2022 consists of 134 reviewed papers. The conference included speakers who were experts in the fields covered by the conference: Dr. Janet Reid from Massey University, New Zealand, Dr. Carol Levin from the University of Washington, Dr. Iean Russel from FAO, and Prof. Taslim Sjah from the University of Mataram.This international conference was held successfully thanks to the support and assistance of various parties. On this occasion, allow us to convey our appreciation to the speakers, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mataram, all university partners, speakers, participants, Indonesian Agricultural Economics Association, Agribusiness Association of Indonesia, Nutrition and Food Experts Society of Indonesia, Indonesian Agronomy Association, and all partners who have supported the implementation of the 2nd ICEFS 2022. I would also like to thank all of the committee members for their dedicated and coordinated efforts for this conference. Finally, I hope that the conference will provide a meaningful international forum for sharing knowledge, expertise and experiences; and also cultivate more networking to strengthen efforts to sustain food security in the changing climate.Warm Regards,Dr. Ir.

Contributions of women at the intersection of agricultural economics and environmental and natural resource economics

AbstractThis paper discusses contributions that women at the intersection of agricultural economics and environmental and resource economics have made over the past several decades to their profession, through both research and leadership. We highlight research contributions in the following areas: land use and conservation, non‐market valuation, environmental policy design, and climate and energy economics. Key examples of leadership within the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association and the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists are also discussed. We conclude with some brief personal reflections regarding our experience working at this interface.

Foreword

This special issue on “Environmental Regulation and Innovation in Local Communities” came out of the 2019 Northeastern Agricultural and Resource Economics Association's Post-Conference Workshop. The workshop sought to invite a conversation among researchers, think tanks, government agencies, and policy makers to enhance our understanding of (1) how local communities innovate when shaping and responding to environmental regulations, and (2) how these environmental regulations affect rural communities’ economic well-being and environmental quality. This resulting special issue includes two invited pieces from the workshop's keynote speakers, both leading scholars in the area of regulation or innovation and five manuscripts that deal with local environmental issues—issues that highlight geographically distinct environmental problems related to land use, water quality, and energy—each of which require different solutions. In various ways, these papers look at the linkages between economic and environmental objectives that define the location-specificity of the environmental issue at hand and the requisite policy solutions.

Incorporating Structure and Stochasticity in Muscadine Grape Enterprise Budget and Investment Analysis

We developed and investigated a stochastic farm enterprise budget framework that properly accounts for uncertainty in estimates used for investment decisions and structural dependency between yields and prices, which is generally absent in traditional (nonstochastic) budgets. In the first stage, we developed a traditional enterprise budget based on theoretical and accounting methods recommended by the American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA) Task Force on Commodity Costs and Returns. In the second stage, we developed a probabilistic framework based on estimates derived from the traditional approach, and extended the approach to a stochastic framework through Monte Carlo simulations under specific price elasticity of demand. We applied the framework to estimate the costs, revenues, and conducted investment analysis of producing muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) in Georgia using a single-trellis system. Finally, we compared results derived from both approaches and revealed muscadine grape production and marketing to be an economically sound investment under multiple scenarios. Overall, the confidence placed on traditional budget estimates and investment outcomes was found to be overestimated at least 3-fold. This suggests that the true uncertainty in the returns and profitability of the business is grossly underestimated, erroneously painting a more promising outlook of investing in muscadine grape production.

Which Deceptive Practices, If Any, Should Be Allowed in Experimental Economics Research? Results from Surveys of Applied Experimental Economists and Students

Deceptive experimental practices are banned in some professions but are standard in others. Recently, the journals of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association introduced guidelines that allow researchers to publish articles that use some forms of deception. However, in their present form, these guidelines leave room for interpretation. This situation is not ideal for researchers, and a clearer definition of which deceptive practices should be banned could be beneficial. Our aim is to help provide greater clarity and potential guidance for journal policies regarding deception by using the results of surveys of both researcher and student subjects. Evaluating ten potentially deceptive experimental techniques, we find consistent support for banning certain practices while allowing others.
