The study used a stochastic metafrontier model followed by a Tobit regression model to estimate technical efficiency and meta-technology ratios and assess factors influencing efficiency of a suite of beef farm types in Botswana. Results show that the average technical efficiency level is 0.496 fo...

Five of the international agricultural research centers (IARC's) currently have research programs in the area of biological nitrogen (N2) fixation. This paper reviews the activities of the centers in this area and highlights common and distinctive features of the programs, as well as their links ...

This chapter uses one particular bio-economic model, first, to explore some questions and hence generate information pertaining to the complex interactions existing in an integrated crop-livestock farming system in Ethiopia. Secondly, it examines various ways in which such a model may be used to ...
