Applying Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator and Akaike Information Criterion Analysis to Find the Best Multiple Linear Regression Models between Climate Indices and Components of Cow’s Milk
(MDPI, 2016-07-23)
This study focuses on multiple linear regression models relating six climate indices (temperature humidity THI, environmental stress ESI, equivalent temperature index ETI, heat load HLI, modified HLI (HLI new), and respiratory rate predictor RRP) with three main components of cow’s milk (yield, fat, and protein) for cows in Iran. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) techniques are applied to select the best model for milk predictands with the smallest ...

Assessing the impact of agricultural drought on maize prices in Kenya with the approach of the SPOT-VEGETATION NDVI remote sensing
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2016-12-23)
The high cost of maize in Kenya is basically driven by East African regional commodity demand forces and agricultural drought. The production of maize, which is a common staple food in Kenya, is greatly affected by agricultural drought. However, calculations of drought risk and impact on maize production in Kenya is limited by the scarcity of reliable rainfall data. The objective of this study was to apply a novel hyperspectral remote sensing method to modelling temporal fluctuations of maize production and prices ...

Global Peasants Rights: International Congress 2017
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2017-06)
“Reaffirming that all human rights are universal, indivisible, interrelated, interdependent and mutually reinforcing and must be treated in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing and with the same emphasis, and recalling that the promotion and protection of one category of rights should never exempt States from the promotion and protection of the other rights, recognizing the special relationship and interaction between peasants and other people working in rural areas, and the land, water, nature and territory ...

Marketingstrategien zu In-Wert-Setzung von Naturschutzmaßnahmen in der ökologischen Direktvermarktung
(2017-01-31)
Forschungsgegenstand der Arbeit sind Marketingstrategien zur In-Wert-Setzung von Naturschutzmaßnahmen in der ökologischen Direktvermarktung. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden anhand konkreter Beispiele unterschiedliche Marketingstrategien und Kommunikationskonzepte verglichen und untersucht, wodurch die Aufpreisbereitschaft der KundInnen für den Zusatznutzen „Naturschutz“ beeinflusst wird. Die Untersuchungen fanden zwischen November 2015 und Januar 2016 auf drei Höfen, die Naturschutzmaßnahmen in die ökologische ...
