Bio-based and Applied Economics
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Intersection of Economics and Environmental Stewardship
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Sustainable Agricultural Economics:
Research that examines the economic aspects of sustainable agricultural practices, including the adoption of innovative farming techniques and the impact of agricultural policies on sustainability. - Bioeconomy and Resource Management:
Studies focusing on the bioeconomy, which integrates biological resources into economic processes, emphasizing the importance of natural resource management and the role of agriculture in economic development. - Policy Analysis and Evaluation:
In-depth evaluations of agricultural policies, their effectiveness, and implications for rural development and environmental sustainability, often using case studies and comparative analyses. - Market Dynamics and Consumer Behavior:
Analysis of market trends, consumer preferences, and the economic implications of food systems, including the effects of climate change and global market fluctuations on agricultural productivity. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Utilization of various methodologies, including qualitative and quantitative analyses, to address complex issues in agriculture and economics, often incorporating insights from environmental science, sociology, and policy studies.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Change Adaptation Strategies:
An increasing focus on how agricultural systems can adapt to climate change, including studies on resilience, vulnerability, and the economic implications of climate-related policies. - Agri-environmental Public Goods:
Growing research on the provision and acceptance of public goods from agriculture, highlighting the importance of environmental services and sustainable practices in policy frameworks. - Innovative Contract Solutions:
Emerging interest in innovative contractual arrangements for farmers to promote environmentally friendly practices, suggesting a shift towards more collaborative and participatory approaches in agricultural economics. - Bioeconomy Resilience and Economic Shocks:
Recent papers emphasize the resilience of the bioeconomy during economic shocks, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing insights into the robustness of food systems. - Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Systems:
A trend towards incorporating stakeholder perspectives and expert knowledge in agricultural decision-making processes, emphasizing the role of local actors in implementing sustainable practices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research related to conventional farming methods is becoming less prevalent as the focus shifts towards sustainable and innovative practices that align with environmental objectives. - Generalized Economic Models:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers using broad economic models without specific application to bioeconomy or sustainability, as the journal increasingly favors targeted, context-specific studies. - Impact of Global Supply Chains:
While previously a significant theme, the impact of global supply chains on local agriculture is receiving less attention, possibly due to a growing focus on local and sustainable food systems. - Historical Agricultural Policy Analysis:
Studies focused solely on historical agricultural policies without current relevance are diminishing, reflecting a shift towards contemporary policy implications and future-oriented research. - Single-discipline Approaches:
Research that does not integrate interdisciplinary perspectives is waning, as the journal encourages comprehensive approaches that combine economics with environmental and social dimensions.
