the water footprint of the spanish Agricultural Sector 1860 2010
Ecological Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Rosa Duarte, Vicente Pinilla, Ana SerranoAbstract:Since 1860, the Spanish Agricultural Sector has undergone an intensive process of development resulting in important structural changes, not only in the Sector itself, but also in the relationship of the agrarian system to natural resources. This paper studies the evolution of domestic water consumption as a consequence of increasing Agricultural production, as well as the impact that the growing need for water had on the construction of infrastructure for irrigation. To that end, we examine the water consumed in the production of vegetable and animal goods for five different years: 1860, 1900, 1930, 1962 and 2010. From these results, a detailed analysis of the trends in water consumption and changes in compositional patterns is carried out. We determine to what extent the development of the Agricultural Sector conditioned the construction of new irrigation infrastructure. Finally, a Decomposition Analysis (DA) is applied to analytically identify and quantify the main explanatory factors behind that evolution, and to understand the increase in Agricultural water consumption over the long term. Our findings show the large pressures on water resources exerted as a result of the expansion of the Spanish Agricultural Sector during the last 150years.

IS Agricultural Sector GROWTH A PRECONDITION FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH? THE CASE OF SOUTH AFRICA
Agrekon, 2001Co-Authors: Daneswar Poonyth, Rashid M. Hassan, Johann F. Kirsten, M. CalcaterraAbstract:In this paper a simple growth model is adapted to explain the effect of the Agricultural Sectors' growth on the non-Agricultural Sector. The empirical results suggest that for a 1% growth in the Agricultural Sector, the non-Agricultural Sector responds by more than 1%. The results also confirm that productivity difference exists, the non-Agricultural Sector being more efficient in terms of input use. The empirical results support the argument of President T. Mbeki, that South Africa should follow an "Agricultural-led" growth strategy for successful development.

Strategic Priorities and Financial Support of Ukrainian Agricultural Sector Development
International Journal of Ecological Economics and Statistics, 2019Co-Authors: E. А. Kirieieva, N. V. Pryshliak, O. І. Shamanska, I. Yu. Salkova, Anatolii KucherAbstract:The Agricultural Sector is one of the most important in the Ukrainian economy, which can be proved by numerous indicators. The article has analysed such data as the share of Agricultural Sector in the total export of Ukraine, the share of Agricultural Sector in total GDP, land use in Ukraine, etc. Despite high potential of the Agricultural Sector in Ukraine, a lot of challenges hold back an efficient development of agriculture. The aim of this research is to determine the main challenges of the Agricultural Sector development in Ukraine through PEST-analysis of political, economic, social and technological factors, which influence the Agricultural sphere, and also to investigate the main ways of the future development of the Agricultural Sector. To achieve this goal current Agricultural policy is being analyzed and the dynamics of the funds allocated in the State Budget for loan programs in the Agricultural Sector of Ukraine and the dynamics of the budget financing of the agrarian Sector of Ukrainian economy are presented. According to the findings, the Agricultural Sector has been defined as one of the crucial ones for the economic development of Ukraine. The steps to be taken to achieve the goals of efficient Agricultural development have been identified by this scientific research. Theoretical and practical recommendations that can be implemented in the governmental policy have been presented and the strategy of achieving Agricultural development has been developed.

The model for evaluation of sustainable Agricultural Sector development policy
2020Co-Authors: Pranevičius Henrikas, Andrikaitienė Rasa, Kurlavičius AlgimantasAbstract:Developers of sustainable Agricultural policy have to appraise the outcomes of the alternative policy solutions thus it is relevant to choose and create the means to solve the economical and environmental problems of sustainable Agricultural Sector development. This paper suggests the model for sustainable Agricultural Sector development estimating the aimed balance between supply and demand of Agricultural produce. Proposals were made after the previous discussion of Agricultural Sector models of different countries. The model consists of equation sets for the judging of supply, demand, price transfer and welfare rate. The levers of general Agricultural policy such as disbursements and production limitations are included into the equations of policy analysis. Equilibrium conditions are checked during the model identification. Model simulation enables us to find the optimal supply and demand equation coefficients defining the limitations. Statistical data are used for the calculation of the technical-economical model parameters. Preliminary results show the model utilization possibilities and its significance. The comprised model is beneficial for the investigation of the sustainable development solutions for agriculture and environment. Investigation of the influence of the economic scenarios of Lithuanian Agricultural Sector development and economical control methods can be fulfilled by changing the model parametersVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŽemės ūkio akademij
