Analysis of the sustainability index for ecologically low-input integrated farming: A comprehensive assessment of environmental, economic, and social impact

A comprehensive sustainability index was designed in this study to evaluate the effectiveness and environmental impact of ecologically low-input integrated farming systems. By integrating diverse agricultural practices while minimizing reliance on external, non-renewable resources, this approach aims to enhance ecological harmony and sustainability. The index provides a multi-dimensional assessment, encompassing environmental, economic, and social aspects, to gauge the overall sustainability of these integrated farming practices. The procedure involved defining critical sustainability criteria across environmental, economic, and social dimensions, collecting relevant data on farming practices, and constructing a model to assess and score these practices. The index was validated through real-world applications and engaged with various stakeholders for insights and practical verification. Environmental data involves measuring soil nutrients (5 %), water usage (500 gallons/acre), and biodiversity (30 species/acre) to assess the ecological impact of farming practices. Economic data focuses on recording crop yields, input costs, and market prices to evaluate the financial viability of these practices. Social data is collected through surveys on labor practices, job satisfaction, and community impact, providing insights into the social implications and acceptability of the farming methods. The data revealed that the farming system aligned well with sustainability benchmarks, exhibiting no deviation from optimal levels in soil nitrogen content and water usage. Strong profitability and input cost efficiency were observed in the economic dimension, with a net income per acre of $400/acre and an input cost efficiency of 50 %. In the social aspect, although reasonably scored, specific labor metrics and regional/industry standards were lacking for a comprehensive evaluation. Overall, the farming system demonstrated commendable sustainability practices, with an environmental score of 7.5/10, an economic score of 8/10, and a social score of 7/10, suggesting potential for further improvements, particularly in addressing social sustainability factors.

DETERMINANTS OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE IN INDONESIAN COMPANIES FROM 2011 – 2022

<p>The purpose of this study is to examine the variables influencing capital structure in Indonesian businesses. The dependent factors in this case are the debt to asset ratio (DAR) and the debt-to-equity ratio (DER), while the independent variables are profitability, growth potential, size, dividend policy, liquidity, and business risk. All industries in Indonesia are represented in the research sample, except for the banking industry. The panel regression analytical method is used. Furthermore, Random Forest's variable importance analysis is used in this work. The outcome demonstrated that dividends, tangibility, profitability, and liquidity are important components of both DAR and DER models. Strong tangible assets raise both DAR and DER, but favorable profitability and liquidity typically lower them. Additionally, businesses that pay out larger dividends typically have smaller debt loads. Therefore, businesses should concentrate on sustaining strong profitability as it is closely related to sales. To guarantee continuous liquidity, which enables businesses to fulfill both short- and long-term obligations, care must be taken while paying out dividends.</p>

Nitrogen Management and Virus Incidence on Cut Flower Production of Dahlia

Abstract Cut flower production, particularly of dahlia, has a strong profit potential for small farms. This study evaluated the field response of dahlia ‘Café au Lait’ to nitrogen (N) rates and implemented routine testing for common viruses. Yield was measured over a three-year field trial with five N application rates: 0, 56, 112, 168, and 224 kg N·ha−1 (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 lb N·A−1) in North Logan, Utah (USDA Hardiness Zones 5). A grower-participant study was also conducted in Northern Utah (USDA Hardiness Zones 5 – 7) to understand cultural practices and challenges. Application of 168 and 224 kg N·ha−1 (150 and 200 lb N·A−1) produced the greatest yields of stems per plant, while 168 kg N·ha−1 (150 lb N·A−1) was the most economically efficient from partial economic budgets. Viruses were highly prevalent in stock, resulting in cull rates of nearly 50% in 2019 and 2020. After sourcing lab-cultured stock in 2021, 0% of plants were culled, indicating a strong need for management of viruses in dahlia. Soil survey results from the grower-participant study revealed widespread levels of elevated macronutrients and salinity that increased annually and correlated with decreasing yield across farms. This study helps determine optimal N rates, increase awareness of virus management, as well as supporting fertility outreach with small growers to promote soil sustainability. Species used in this study: Dahlia, Dahlia pinnata ‘Café au Lait’.

A strong profitability of a company will instill trust from the public and investors to invest in the company.

Is ESG a ‘Scam'? Correlation between ESG and Corporate Performance

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) are three factors to evaluate a corporation’s growth opportunity and investment risk. With the increasing attention to environment protection and corporate relationship and governance, ESG has become a hot and controversial topic in the investment world. The article focuses on the correlation between ESG performance and corporate performance in two typical corporations, Tesla and First Solar. Utilizing the PEST model to analyze Tesla’s performance and compare it with ESG, the article finds that Tesla’s performance is exceptional while its ESG is poor. By contrast, excavating First Solar’s financial data and analyzing a series of corporate indicators, the article discovers that First Solar is well known for ESG and sustainability but its profitability is very poor. Therefore, ESG is an important indicator but not a decisive one. ESG and corporate performance are not in a positive proportion. Poor ESG does not necessarily undermine Tesla's prosperity and commitment to sustainable development. First Solar’s great ESG does not mean strong profitability. The article aims to instruct investors to put ESG into perspective, evaluate a corporation from multiple angles, and make a good investment.

Reinforcement learning for deep portfolio optimization

<p>Portfolio optimization is an important financial task that has received widespread attention in the field of artificial intelligence. In this paper, a novel deep portfolio optimization (DPO) framework was proposed, combining deep learning and reinforcement learning with modern portfolio theory. DPO not only has the advantages of machine learning methods in investment decision-making, but also retains the essence of modern portfolio theory in portfolio optimization. Additionaly, it was crucial to simultaneously consider the time series and complex asset correlations of financial market information. Therefore, in order to improve DPO performance, features of assets information were extracted and fused. In addition, a novel risk-cost reward function was proposed, which realized optimal portfolio decision-making considering transaction cost and risk factors through reinforcement learning. Our results showed the superiority and generalization of the DPO framework for portfolio optimization tasks. Experiments conducted on two real-world datasets validated that DPO achieved the highest accumulative portfolio value compared to other strategies, demonstrating strong profitability. Its Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown also performed excellently, indicating good economic benefits and achieving a trade-off between portfolio returns and risk. Additionally, the extraction and fusion of financial information features can significantly improve the applicability and effectiveness of DPO.</p>
